Happy Customer
Passing Porta del Ponte you arrive in Via Italia, a small road connecting the castle and the alleys further down.
Via Italia is the main street of Montemerano, it connects Porta del Ponte with Porta della Canonica, it is a paved road of about 100 meters in length, which houses shops and shops, and is an obligatory stop for all tourists.
The street also houses one of the most famous restaurants in Italy, the “Trattoria Caino“.
Along the way you come across the doors of the underground cellars of Montemerano and the characteristic closed porticoes, which were once part of the Market Square.
Numerous alleys branch off from Via Italia, some of which are blind and end up against the city walls, while others reach enchanting little squares, such as the Piazzetta del’Antico Frantoio, here once stood one of the many oil mills in the village today remembered among three imposing stone millstones, the Piazzetta di San Martino, surrounded by characteristic houses with flowered balconies, and the Piazzetta del Ritiro, more intimate and secluded.
This part of Montemerano is certainly the most intimate and protected of the village, it houses small corners to be discovered, arches, ancient doors and windows, a century-old wisteria that grows right above an opening in the city walls, used in the past for the passage of men and animals, up to the characteristic “Vicolo della Flanella”, so nicknamed because once upon a time the young people of the town cultivated their sweet adolescent loves there.
EVENTS IN MONTEMERANO
In addition to the beauty of the town, a splendid example of medieval art and today one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, Montemerano is also famous for its food and wine and its restaurants, real gems for lovers of authentic and genuine cuisine, sometimes classic and sometimes revisited, but always linked to the traditions and typical products of the area. Walking through the streets of the village and choosing from the many restaurants in Montemerano will certainly be pleasant and fun, each one particular and genuine. From the starred restaurant to the trattoria, passing through intimate venues or wine bars, without ever sacrificing quality, discovering the excellence of the territory, cheeses, salts and wines of local production… after all, cooking is another way to get to know the truest spirit of a place!

NOT TO BE MISSED IN MONTEMERANO
Castle Square of Montemerano
If you are in Montemerano you absolutely cannot miss a visit to one of its best-known symbols, Piazza del Castello. Featured in many articles and posts on social media, it is one of the most romantic and fascinating places in Montemerano. It is the ancient Piazza d’Armi of the medieval village, here the young knights trained, and today it is the stage of some of the most characteristic events that take place in the Tuscan village, first of all the spectacular Witches’ Festival, the night of October 31st. Walk down the street that leads you to the square and stop under the arch, the view is breathtaking!

SATURNIA, SPA AND MILL WATERFALLS
Saturnia
Saturnia is a wonderful village, one of the oldest in Italy in fact, which is located just a few minutes from Montemerano. It is famous above all for its thermal spring, whose waters were already appreciated by the Etruscans and Romans who knew its beneficial and healing properties. In Saturnia you can visit the beautiful swimming pools of the thermal park, where you can also try the SPA and the golf course, and the very famous Cascate del Mulino, considered the most “Beautiful Free Spas in Tuscany”, wonderful pools dug into the travertine by the force of the waters falling from the waterfall, a small oasis of well-being totally at no cost!
