CITY OF
MONTALCINO
THE CITY
Cesira Guesthouse sits in the most beautiful and least traveled part of Tuscany. The city of Montalcino was first mentioned in documents dated 814 AD. Once a strategic point along the way to Rome, this beautiful city now serves as a perfect starting point for daily trips to Siena, Florence, Lago Trasimeno, the Tuscan coast, and many other beautiful places.
One of Italy's finest red wines, Brunello di Montalcino, also adds fame to this town. The area attracts wine lovers, with over 220 wineries around.
Montalcino area is covered with Mediterranean marshes, grasslands, and forests. The hills and valleys have been full of 'Oaks of Montalcino' since ancient times, sharing their territory with olive trees, chestnut trees, and Montalcino's most famous plants: the Brunello grapevines, also known as Sangiovese Grosso.

The historic center has grown up around the main square, known as Piazza del Popolo, with its slender fourteenth-century Palazzo dei Priori, the city's town hall with a typical Gothic loggia.
