Montaione: a hidden treasure in the Tuscan countryside

If you like practicing sports during your holiday and would like to enjoy an authentic relationship with the nature, Montaione offers a lot of open air sports and activities thanks to its territory made up of hills, woods, vineyard, olives, lakes, and historical sites you can discover step by step.

If you love horses and riding, you may want to discover Tuscany by horse. Montaione counts many horse back riding tracks throughout its countryside and woods. During the riding trip, stop and discover the medieval castle of Vignale, the hamlet of Castelfalfi with its eclusive golf club and the Roman Cistern.

Another way to explore the area is to riding a bike, there are many trails for you on tracks or paved streets. A lot of bikers love to reach San Gimignano or Volterra by bike, too. For mountain bike practicers I always suggest to use the Montaione tracks map together with a gps.

 In Tuscany you can't miss the possibility to taste good food. In Montaione you will find many restaurants and trattorie where to eat typical Tuscan dishes, like the Fiorentina or t-bone steak!
