The TERRITORY
Walks and excursions
Valdicecina with its numerous nature reserves, the famous Berignone or Montenero, offers the ideal opportunity for all types of excursions, from the shortest to the most challenging. Testimony of Etruscan, Roman and medieval civilization are the numerous villages, fortresses, castles and medieval parish churches.
For lovers of cycling excursions, less than a kilometer away it is possible to rent e-bikes or opt for horseback excursions, offered by nearby riding stables.
What to do in Podere Montaione and the surrounding areas
Here everything is immersed in the scents, colors and flavors of the countryside. You can spend your free time relaxing in the heated swimming pool with hydromassage, sipping good wine, being massaged by the waterfalls or reading a book under the centuries-old oak trees.
You can also while away the time by having fun playing bowls. The cellar also offers the possibility of tasting a selection of Tuscan and regional Italian wines as well as the oil produced and the wine bottled by the Podere Montaione farm.
