| There is no restaurant in the hotel, but this may give guests an extra incentive to discover the many small trattorie serving typical Tuscan cuisine and local wines that are hidden in near townsand villages. Those with a more refined palate will have the opportunity to visit the more famous and elegant restaurants of the area to verify the quality of their gourmet cuisine. Located at the southeastern edge of the Chianti, in the heart of Tuscany, the Valdambra has miraculously conserved the beauty and simplicity of its territory. The Castelletto participates in the daily life of the smallfarming village of Montebenichi, perched upona hill top, immersed in one of the most magnificent and uncontaminated natural environments in Tuscany. A landscape of woods, vineyards and olive groves scattered with tiny villages and elegant castles surround the village on all sides. To the south one can see the fascinating landscape of the "Crete" and in the backdrop the shadow of mount Amiata. The most celebrated cities of art in Tuscany such as Siena, Arezzo, Cortona, San Gimignano, Montepulciano, Pienza, and Montalcino as well as many less famous but equally fascinating attractions such as Lucignano, Sant'Antimo, Monte Oliveto Maggiore, San Galgano, Bagno Vignoni and many others are not far from the Castelletto. Also close by are the thermal baths of Rapolano.fed by natural hot springs. Montebenichi itself, though tiny and unknown to most, still conserves fascinating testimonial of its ancient past, when in the XII and XVI centuries it played the important role of a strategic fortress for the defense of both Florence and Siena at different times during the history of the long wars between the two territories. "Capitan Goro" Stendardi, heroic mercenary captain under the command of Francesco Ferrucci during the battle of Gavignana in 1530, was born and lived in Montebenichi. |
