The castle of Montalto in Tuscany is a medieval hamlet with over 1000 years of history, surrounded by woods and farmland in the lovely and unspoiled Chianti hills near Siena.
Ten carefully restored villas and apartments, including a wing of the inner castle, are offered directly by the owner as self-catering accommodations sharing the swimming pool.
With its private chapel and banquet room, the castle is a spectacular venue for weddings and events.
Montalto in Toscana - La Loggia is a large 4-bedroom apartment that occupies the entire top floor of an old stone building within the castle walls. Access is by a flight of stairs.
The large living/dining room has a corner fireplace that can be used to grill meat in the Tuscan fashion, a dining table that can seat up to 12 people and a full kitchen with a dishwasher. There is ample seating space, and glass doors give access to a covered terrace that offers outdoor seating for 8, with sweeping views of the valley and the wooded hills.
The 4 bedrooms are in the four corners of the apartment so they all have windows on two sides. Each bedroom has a private bathroom; some bathrooms have shower stalls, some have showers over bathtubs. In three bedrooms, the beds can be united as a queen or separated as twin singles; in the fourth bedroom the bed is necessarily queen.
This apartment also has a washing machine.
La Loggia is part of the San Giovanni building, which also includes San Giovanni West and San Giovanni East. The outside entrance is shared with San Giovanni East. The three apartments of the San Giovanni building can be interconnected and rented together to accommodate up to 16 people.
