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.

Villa Svetoni Wine Resort

10/10 Excellent

"A wonderful setting amongst their winery. Loved our week long stay at Svetoni where the comfortable duplex room was very tastefully done a with modern comfort like Ac and a lovely rain shower. The breakfast was very good each day and the staff were friendly and attentive. The swimming pool is also of a good size."

10/10 Excellent

"This was my family’s favorite hotel during our trip to Italy. The room was luxurious and spacious, the service was top notch and the pool was an added bonus. We loved the breakfast options and the dinner served at the hotel was one of our favorites of the entire vacation. We had a rental car so were able to take advantage of the proximity to Montepulciano and Pienza. The wine served at the hotel from the on-site winery was very good. We can’t wait to go back!! "
