Getting to Rooms and Wine

Monteriggioni is a walled village: you cannot drive inside the walls without a permit. There are three different ways in — pick yours and follow it to the end.

Before you set off

How are you arriving?

By car, with a permitYou have done the online check-in and given us your plate.By car, without a permitYou haven’t done the online check-in, or you are in a different car.On foot or by busThe Via Francigena, walkers, anyone stepping off the coach.Key collectionThe same for all three: the door, the code, the boxes.

By car, with a permit

  1. From the Cassia (SS2) take the paved road that climbs towards Monteriggioni.
  2. As you climb, on your right, you pass the GRICCIOLI PRIVATE PARKING sign and the unpaved track beside it. Take a good look: that is where you will come back to park in a quarter of an hour.

  3. Pass the first public car park (Cipressino) and keep climbing. At the top, on your left, is the castle gate.
  4. Drive in slowly: inside the walls people walk, and pedestrians are always right.
  5. Carry on as far as the well. The three-storey yellow building facing the well is ours.
  6. Unload your bags and pick up the keys (just below): the permit covers a short stop, count on fifteen minutes. Then take the car back: out through the same gate, turn right and go back down the road. After the first bend, at the end of the straight, you find the sign and the track again; the car park is a hundred and fifty metres along, on your right.

  3. After about 150 metres the car park is on your right. It is ours, it is free, park wherever there is space.
  4. From there it is three hundred metres up to the castle, on foot.

On foot or by bus

By bus

Autolinee Toscane, lines 130 and 131 from Siena towards Colle di Val d’Elsa and Poggibonsi. Not every service stops at Monteriggioni: check the timetable before you leave. The stops are Colonna di Monteriggioni and Scuole (Via Cassia Nord 142), both about five hundred metres from the castle, uphill.

Official Autolinee Toscane timetables

On foot

The castle is a stage on the Via Francigena: you come in through one of the two gates and the square is right there. If you arrive before check-in, you can leave your luggage with us from 8am to 7pm.

Then go on to Key collection.
