It is an ancient Medieval complex
which has only been changed partly during the centuries until today. It
is possible to see the passages of the different periods in the present
structure. Raised on the top of a hill close to Montevarchi, the castle
dominates from above, with its 450 metres, the whole Valdarno
Superiore, offering a marvellous view over the Tuscan countryside,
Pratomagno and the hills of the Chianti region. The visitor
perceives and admires the complexity and the harmony of this beautiful
landscape.
Around the castle, on its terraces, you
find that the olive groves dominate the view, and further down forests
embracing the panorama. A completely quiet farming landscape where
silence and the old traditions reign. Known for its beauty and the extra
virgin olive oil, Montozzi is today also famous for the warm
atmosphere of its apartments which are furnished according the
typical Tuscan style, with wooden ceiling and terracotta floor.
In the castle you are able to visit our
shop with typical Tuscan products such as: Chianti Colli Fiorentini
wines, extra virgin olive oil, vin santo, marmalades. A conference
centre called "LA SCUDERIA", was recently opened, accessible
even for disable people. It is easy to reach the most important art
cities in Tuscany from the Castle, such as Arezzo (25 km), Florence (70
km), Siena (50 km) and San Gimignano (95 km). The Castle disposes of 3
restructured apartments in a farm house called "LA CANONICA" and
in two houses called "LA CASETTA" and "LA LOGGETTA"
which also feature private gardens and a big swimming pool. Not far
away there are also 2 marvellous farm houses which have been
restructured, "LA COLLINA" and "IL CASTELLARINO", each
with private garden and swimming pool. Perfect for families or group
