The Castle of Montecchio Vesponi is a walled, castle with turrets and battlements, which occupies the top of a hill (Montecchio), overlooking the Val di Chiana, named and drawn on a well-documented survey map by Leonardo da Vinci in 1503.

Many cultural events have taken place within its walls, including art exhibitions (the last being one of works of Manzù), concerts, folklore festivals, re- enactments and events in the local dialect. Famous visitors to the Castle have included the late Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother (of England) who came to learn Documentary Moviesmore about the castle and the area and owned in 1384 by another Englishman, Sir John Hawkwood (known in Italian as Giovanni Acuto). Hawkwood appears in the world famous fresco by Paolo Uccello in the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, The Duomo of Florence.

The bucolic setting includes birds , roaming sheep down the hill meandering from field to field. Couldn’t be more restful! Also close enough to Siena , San gimingnano Assisi for day trips and even Florence Will definitely return. "

"The views from this charming villa, the beautifully manicured grounds, the outdoor eating space, made our stay fantastic. The living area and kitchen were comfortable and functional. Bedrooms are not super bright but opening the shutters during the day helps immensely and each room has a great view! Luigi was very friendly and responsive. Would 100% book this place again. "

"I have rented many villas and this stay was up there among the best. Wonderful villa, everything was clean and worked properly and I can’t emphasize enough how great the location was. When you stay there go to Casa Newton for cocktails, beautiful boutique hotel a six minute drive away. "

"This property is just beautiful. One of the best I have ever stayed at. Everyone loved it. The location (right next to a lovely winery) couldn’t be better. Plenty of parking and ample space for our group. Hope to come back and stay again!"

"We were a large group of 16 (mostly family). This villa was perfect for us. Long hot days by the pool (which is a perfect size). Everyone had plenty of space in the many cool breezy rooms. Even though we were there in the middle of summer, it was easy to sleep without the A/C, but we had the option. The kitchen was amazing, modern and had everything we needed. Easy day trips to Rome, Assisi and Montipulciano. And lots of other beautiful villages. We ate the most amazing meal at the...

"Great location in Tuscany! tight roads in and out of the property, must it has the most spectacular views around. 3 min. drive to Cortona.The villa is spacious and very accomodating. Just be sure to ask how to use the dishwasher and washing machine. "

"Very nice place to stay. Lots of charm and the challenging drive provided amazing views. Nice place to stay for the price."

"Loved this place just driving thru Tuscan countryside to get there! Large house perfect for group. Has everything you need. Great restaurants in Lucignano. Lucignano is great walking walled town.

10/10 Excellent

"Este hotel es excepcionalmente bello, unico y perfecto para unas vacaciones en la Toscana. La propiedad esta impecable al igual que las habitaciones, super limpias, cómodas y A/C super fuerte (no muy comunes en Europa) Staff fue muy amable y la cena espectacular.
