 The agricultural estate of Montestigliano has been owned and farmed by the Donati family for over fifty years. Centrally located in the heart of Tuscany, perched high on a hill, at an altitude of approximately 300 meters, Montestigliano commands magnificent views of the Sienese landscape. To the north one can see the towers and the duamo of Siena in the distance, to the east the Crete Senese and the Chianti hills, and the wooded Montagnola to the West.
Over the past ten years the Donati family have slowly restored and converted some of the old farm workers houses and other farm buildings into guest apartments. They have tried to keep the character of the houses, leaving exposed beams, the terra cotta floors and simple white washed walls.
Still a working farm producing exceptional extra virgin olive oil, Montestigliano is also famous for

it's cypress avenues. The avenues run along the ancient roads of the estate to the neighboring village of Stigliano. A large part of the estate is woodland and provides a welcoming home for pheasant, wild boar, deer, porcupine and many other smaller woodland creatures. There is also an amazing array of flora that change not just from season to season but from month to month. The estate provides a glorious setting for walking and mountain biking.
