This small agritourism in the heart of the highlands of the Maremma region of Tuscany extends a warm and relaxed welcome to guests of the cozy and stylish vacation rental apartments.A recently renovated ancient stone farmhouse with barn, in the community of Montieri, on a plateau in the heart of the Val di Merse and ideally located for visits to Siena, the seaside, Maremma Toscana, the Crete Senesi, the Val d'Orcia, and the famous Abbey of San Galgano. Chestnut and oak trees and sunflowers frame this splendid Tuscan landscape that surrounds the farm.The agriturismo is located on a plateau about 500m above sea level and boasts a 360 degree panorama on the Val diMerse and the Metalliferous Hills (CollineMetallifere)

11 sleeping accommodations.

Guests have 4 well-maintained apartments and a comfortable communal living room with fireplace for barbecues or relaxing on the large lawn and outside there is garden furniture and a barbecue. Maps are available in the lounge, brochures to know and visit the area. Directly from the farm you can do nature walks, hiking, going to look for mushrooms and chestnuts in our reserved area, assist in the olive harvest observe wildlife and endless starry skies at night. In a nearby structure, only under reservation, guests can take part in excursions within the area, ie: quad tours, high ropes course, horse riding , canoeing, archery, hiking .

Guests are free to use laundry facilities as well as the vegetable garden during their stay

The favorable location of the farmhouse I Monti allows for frequent visits to the nearby cities of art: S. Gimignano with its beautiful towers, Siena and the Palio of 2/7 and 16/8, Florence, Massa Marittima with Archery Girifalco in May and August and Accesa Lake is a great place for walking and especially swimming , the nearby Abbey of S. Galgano with numerous events in July and August, perhaps you would prefer to travel to the sea along the Maremman coast where sandy beaches, beautiful pine forests and crystal-clear waters are found from the town of Follonica to the quaint seaside community of Castiglione dellaPescaia and Punta Ala. Additionally, you find in the area the Hot Springs of Petriolo (Monticano) and Il Calidario (Venturina) where it is possible to take advantage of the natural hot springs and make a relaxing bath, therapy and/or massage. We are also in the Tuscan Mining Geopark, a UNESCO site, and you can visit the old mines in Gavorrano, Archeomining museum in Gavorrano and in Massa Marittima and the "Biancane" in MonterotondoMarittimo.

The owners , born and raised in the area, aim to offer their guests a pleasant stay and to share a bit of the Tuscan traditions. Agriturismo I Monti takes advantage of energy saving technology and alternative resources like collecting rain water, use of solar energy for hot water and use of wood for heating.

Excellent hospitality in authentic Tuscany! It’s well off the beaten track, a bit remote, yet great escape with Siena and beautiful Maremma beaches at arms length (please ignore Follonica, beter to pick the beaches on the south end of this town like Cala Violina). Great restaurants in nearby Ciciano (Bistro dei Galli) and Chiusdino (La Grotta dei Tiburzi). Rooms are spacious, spotlessly clean (as well as the beautiful infinity pool). No catering, except from fresh bread dropped by host Lucia each morning. Together with our 2 yr old son we felt very welcome and sorry to leave after 11 days in this small, well kept, hospitable gem! Thanks Lucia and Emilio!

We hired the whole of I Monti for our wedding reception in June last year (2017), after having fallen in love with it on a location viewing trip and it was absolutely the most perfect holiday / wedding venue that you could find. The rooms are beautifully yet traditionally decorated, each apartment had everything you that you needed and my guests had the most comfortable stay. The scenery and pool area are to die for and we spent many a relaxed hour soaking up the sun or swimming in the infinity pool. As for Lucia and her family, well there are not enough words to describe her wonderful hosting, she ensured that we wanted for nothing, and made us feel that there were never any problems. Her hosting and attention to detail meant that we had the fairy tale weekend that we dreamed of. I also have to mention that she went above and beyond and made lunch for my friends who had a disastrous trip to Siena as my friend is Gluten Free, rustling up without notice a very tasty lunch which my friend was so grateful for. (she also makes the best spinach filled pasta I have ever tasted). I cant wait to go back, as the location is perfect for both relaxing and sightseeing

This is a very special haven. Lucia and her family have deep roots in this wild, unvisited part of Tuscany and they generously share local knowledge and delicious home produce. We spent a lot of time in the freshwater infinity pool which overhangs a rolling tree-covered landscape. The long winding track uphill to the property is best done in daylight.

Such a wonderful place with fabulous hosts. We extended our stay as we loved the peace, tranquillity and friendliness of Lucia and Emilio. Apartments are well furnished, retain the character of the building, are very comfortable and contain everything that you require. Thank you so much see you in the summer.

We have just spent a week at I Monti - family of 4, 2 young teenagers. Our first impression was of what a perfect spot, on top of a hillside with 360 degree views of wooded mountains and hilltop villages. Our 2nd impression was "what a fantastic pool" (ok probably the kids 1st impression)... A big infinity pool - perfect for lengths, with super clean water and great views. The accommodation was of a very good quality. Lucia and Emilio made us feel extremely welcome with great hospitality. You have plenty of outside space and the pool is never crowded. We also liked the area ... more rugged than N Tuscany but also less crowded and more authentic. We'll be back!

We were privileged to stay at I Monti for 4 days and wished we could have stayed longer. We were made to feel so welcome by Lucia and Emilio, nothing was too much trouble. Our accommodation was immaculate and had everything that we needed. We were within good driving distance to visit Siena and the coast but instead made the most of the tranquillity and the views at I Monti by enjoying the days lazing around the pool and only venturing down the gravel track to find a restaurant for dinner. Lucia provided us with fresh bread for breakfast and freshly picked tomatoes from their well-stocked allotment. This is by far the best place that we have stayed at during our holidays in Tuscany and look forward to making a return visit.

Lucia and Emilio have created a wonderful place to stay - we went for our honeymoon, and enjoyed every minute. They are warm and welcoming, and we felt at home straight away, joining them and their friends for a really enjoyable evening of fresh pizza (baked in their oven) and local wine, and Lucia's tiramisu. Delicious! It's a really lovely place to spend a week. The local villages are beautiful, and if you want to drive it is easy to get to Siena, or to the coast - there are so many places to visit and things to do, but if you visit I would recommend making time just to relax at I Monti and enjoy the surroundings - and the fantastic pool!

I stumbled across this hotel when I had to find a venue in the area at last minute and cannot tell you how pleased I was that I did! Please understand that you mustn't expect 5star glamour as it is beautifully rustic with a long rugged & uphill gravel drive to match so don't go in a low car, but do expect 6star views, 7Star welcome and 8star tranquility. I had a warm baked Fruit tart waiting for me in the kitchen upon arrival, a lovely home made fruit cake the next day and then fresh wild strawberries the day after! Fresh towels, beds made, bathroom freshened and all in a self catering farm hotel! The landlady, Lucia is amazing and so welcoming, this was simply a wonderful place to stay and with a family their is plenty to do at the venue and in the surrounding area. I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone to stay here for a rural adventure!
