Forget about modern life, hustle and bustle, traffic and confusion. Close your eyes and you will find yourself inside a medieval castle, entirely surrounded by enormous reinforced walls, where all village life takes place in the main square, surrounded by a few cobble stone alleys. You are in Monteriggioni.
Not far from Casa Lucia, and easily visible from the road that leads to Florence, is the medieval castle of Monteriggioni, surrounded by its towers and still intact city walls. Just a few houses, some streets and two squares: but a visit to this town is like taking a trip back in time.
After visiting the church and walking along the reinforced city walls, you can sit and enjoy the quiet of this enchanted place. Before returning to Casa Lucia be sure to snap a few photos outside the walls, where you will find yourself immersed in the rows of olive trees and gently rolling hills.
