Things To Do
Siena
Visit the beautiful city of Siena just a 15 minute car journey from Monaciana. Siena is Italy's loveliest medieval city, and a trip worth making even if you are in Tuscany for just a few days. Siena's heart is its central piazza known as Il Campo where you can recreate our engagement and send us all your photos! (remember your flats, there are a few hills).
Truffle Hunting
Have you ever experienced the excitement of truffle hunting? Have you ever wanted to find out how to do it, where it is, how it behaves when the dog starts digging to reveal it ? With Siena Tartufi you can do it: you will live a unique experience, in the company of the faithful Alessandro, owner of Siena Tartufi with 15 years experience. At the end of the tour you can take home some truffle flavoured ingredients or experience a truffle tasting which we highly recommend!
Monteriggioni
As you turn off the main road to arrive to Monteriggioni, you'll find a parking lot at the bottom of the hill. Leave your car here and follow the short climb to enter the small village through the Franca or Romea Gate. A few steps in and you're already in the heart of the village in the main Piazza di Roma. Great for some picturesque shots, dinner and drinks! We recommend Antico Travaglio - Osteria Gelateria for some delicious food!
Duomo di Siena
Siena Cathedral rising majestically in the city square, is one of Italy's most illustrious cathedrals. You can buy a dual ticket to visit the "gate of heaven" where you can climb the ladder to see panoramic views of Siena and Tuscany. These attractions do not open until 10am, however we recommend buying your tickets online or the day before you wish to visit to save time.
San Gimignano
San Gimignano is a small walled medieval hill town in the province of Siena, Tuscany, north-central Italy. Known as the Town of Fine Towers, San Gimignano is famous for its medieval architecture, unique in the preservation of about a dozen of its tower houses which, with its hilltop setting and encircling walls, form an unforgettable skyline
