About the region

The myriad attractions of Val d'Orcia and Amiata regions of Tuscany

The Landscape of Montegiovi

Positioned high above the surrounding valleys, Montegiovi overlooks a distinctly Tuscan landscape of terraced olive groves, winding cypress roads, dense woodland, and distant vineyard-covered hills extending toward the Val d’Orcia. In the evening, warm light moves slowly across the stone buildings and undulating countryside, while layers of blue-grey hills fade into the horizon beyond Montalcino and the Amiata region.

Climate

Montegiovi has its own rhythm through the seasons.... long sunlit summers with cool evening air drifting through the hills, soft golden autumns during the grape harvest, and quiet winters where mist settles gently across the valleys below Monte Amiata.
