The Castle of Montecchio Vesponi is a walled, castle with turrets and battlements, which occupies the top of a hill (Montecchio), overlooking the Val di Chiana, named and drawn on a well-documented survey map by Leonardo da Vinci in 1503.

Many cultural events have taken place within its walls, including art exhibitions (the last being one of works of Manzù), concerts, folklore festivals, re- enactments and events in the local dialect. Famous visitors to the Castle have included the late Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother (of England) who came to learn Documentary Moviesmore about the castle and the area and owned in 1384 by another Englishman, Sir John Hawkwood (known in Italian as Giovanni Acuto). Hawkwood appears in the world famous fresco by Paolo Uccello in the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, The Duomo of Florence.

Top Montecchio Hotel Reviews

Monastero di Cortona Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel but room 114 is too close to the bar area and as such very noisy if there are loud guests in there. I’d suggest a room away from the bar if you want a good nights sleep but everything else is fantastic "

Hotel Villa Marsili

10/10 Excellent

"I can't recommend the Marsili highly enough. The property is perfectly situated just on the outskirts of Cortona center. A 5 minute walk and you are exploring a fascinating, casual, friendly, safe and fun neighborhood. Every member of the staff went out of their way to meet our needs. We loved the breakfast as it was different daily and so delicious. The rooms were large and comfortable. We sat up in bed in the morning to outstanding views of the valley. It was out of a painting. "

Palazzo Brandano

10/10 Excellent

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Palazzo Brandano in the tiny Tuscan village of Petroio (population around 287!). From the day before our arrival, Laura was already in touch with us—her communication and genuine care made us feel welcome and looked after right away. The hotel is full of character and perfectly situated in this charming little town. Petroio itself feels like something out of a movie—you can literally drive through it in about 4 minutes. The streets are narrow, winding, and picturesque, giving you the sense you’ve stepped back in time. While there aren’t any restaurants directly in town, there are several excellent options just a few minutes’ drive from the hotel, which worked out perfectly for us. The breakfast in the morning was very good, the cappuccinos were excellent, and the servers were amazing—extremely kind and incredibly fast in bringing out your food. Laura and the team went above and beyond to make our visit special. If you’re looking for a hidden gem that offers attentive service, authentic Tuscan charm, and the magic of staying in a very small Italian town, Palazzo Brandano is a perfect choice. "
