Great tour and tasting, everything was wonderful and wine is great. Ended up sending a case of wine home. They were very helpful in arranging the shipping. Will definitely go back next time in Italy.

This beautiful church is all that remains of a Benedictine monastery supposedly founded in the time of Charlemagne although construction of the current church apparently started in 1118. If you look at the altar step you can see an inscription with this date. It has a lovely, stark Romanesque feel inside but it's the outside aspect that's particularly appealing. In a lovely setting surrounded by greenery it's stone seems to glow honey-like in the afternoon sun. When you reach the fork in the approach road where you should turn right turn left for a couple of hundred yards for the best distance photos before retracing your steps. What a lovely spot. We visited as part of a circle trip to Montalcino, the Abbey and the delightful Bagno Vignoni, making for a superb day.

We have spent 3 days at the Relais and was simply amazing. The location is great in the heart of Montalcino and the Relais is beautiful renewed with taste and style, an amazing pool with a super view on the “vigne del brunello”. The staff is professional and very kind with a very nice restaurant. Had the pleasure to meet the owner and learn about the history of the Relais and the secrets of the Brunello. We loved it and we strongly recommend. Grazie mille a tutto lo staff per la bellissima vacanza.
5. Molino di Sant'Antimo

4.5 based on 9 reviews
The Molino is an independent manor of about 300 sq. meters which was obtained through the careful reconversion and restoration of an antique water-mill, completed during the 90's. Together with the Abbey ( 11th century ), it is the most important historical find in the area. The primitive nucleus dates back to the 13th century and was reconstructed and enlarged in 1606 by the Arrighi family, the story of which was recorded from year to year, up to the present, in the documents of the Leopoldino Register kept in custody in Siena. During the long restoration, great attention and care was taken in maintaining intact, beside the original structure, all of the water routes which characterised the site and the house which was its essential component.
