"L'Aquila" is a charming weekly rental high atop Montemiccioli in the Heart of the beautiful Tuscan Province. This ideal location provides a majestic background of the picturesque Tuscan sunset with the nearby silhouettes of the towers of San Gimignano and Volterra, the historic jewels of the medieval era.
"L'Aquila" lies at base of the remains of Castle Montemiccioli. This castle dates back to 929 (A.D.) and has played the role as fortress and defense bunker for centuries in the past. As a historic landmark, Montemiccioli is recognized as the inspiration behind the works of the famous Italian painter Niccolo Cannicci, who spent his final years on the same grounds.
With the Mediterranean one-hour away, guests can enjoy breathtaking views of green and yellow rolling Tuscan Hills dissipating into the distant brilliant blue of the Mediterranean Sea. The history of Montemiccioli dates back to the Etruscan era, yet the first documentation dates to August 30, 929 A.D., when Ugo di Provenza, (King of Italy; 926-946) donated this little town named "Monte della Torre" (Mount of the Tower) to Adelardo, the Bishop of Volterra.
