General overview

Our town, Monte San Savino is a beautiful Tuscan walled hill town of approximately 500 friendly souls, inside the walls, and a total of 7,000 people in the total Monte San Savino Area. Our house is inside the walls of Monte San Savino in the historic district; we own the top 3 floors of a 15th century building. The ground and first floors are an unused shop and apartment. The front windows look out on the main square and the historic main street, open to pedestrian traffic only. It should be noted that the house is on 3 floors (although the attic is not used except for storage) and any guests should feel comfortable with going upstairs to the bedrooms, and downstairs to exit the building. Monte San Savino is perfectly located: 45 minutes from Siena, Cortona, Montepuliciano, Pienze, 20 minutes from Arezzo and 1 hour by car or less by train from Florence. Closest airport is Florence (1 hour by car) or Rome 3 hours by car. The countryside is totally rural, breathtaking rolling hills with olive groves and vineyards. There is free parking 3 minutes from our house outside the main gate of town. For those with young children, there is a water park "Crocodile" 10 minutes drive from our house.

  • We enjoyed welcoming Molly, Mark, and their son to our cabin. From the very start communication was excellent. When we returned to the cabin after their stay we were delighted to find a little natural art Mark had created, including a new walking stick from a cedar limb. We look forward to visiting their second home in Italy, and hope to meet them in person someday.
