Holiday apartment in Montorgiali: Medieval Village and Via Clodia

Montorgiali is a medieval village on a ridge that slopes steeply down to the Fosso Inferno. The ridge and the roads around the village provide different starting points for planning your stay. The Bivio di Montorgiali is less than 2 km from Montorgiali on the SP 159 Scansanese. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Montorgiali, you can consider when choosing a location whether the history of the village or orientation around the surrounding routes is more important to you.

Holiday apartment in Montorgiali between the castle, churches and Via Clodia

The Castello di Montorgiali is a medieval castle built in the 12th century on a hill above the village. It consists of several interconnected building structures. Its elevated position, medieval origins and unified architectural form together define the character of the building.

The Chiesa di San Biagio also combines several historical construction phases: it was built in the Middle Ages and remodelled during the Baroque period. The church has stucco work on five altars, while the holy water font is attributed to the 13th century. Such specific details provide a cultural point of reference for planning your trip if, alongside the landscape, you would also like to take architectural history and furnishings into account.

Sacred sites on the road to Polveraia

The Chiesa di San Giorgio is located about 1 km from Montorgiali on the road to Polveraia. The Santuario di San Giorgio is located outside Montorgiali on the road to Polveraia. It was originally a rural parish church; it was subsequently first converted into a hermitage and then into a sanctuary. For orientation along this road, you can therefore consider the distance to the Chiesa and the successive functions of the Santuario separately.

Via Clodia on foot or by bicycle

The medieval, single-arch Ponte del Diavolo is located on the Via Clodia. A signposted footpath on the Via Clodia leads downhill to the Ponte del Diavolo. A cycling tour through the hills of Grosseto passes through Montorgiali and continues to the Ponte del Diavolo on the Via Clodia. This gives you two different ways to include the historic bridge in a day’s itinerary: on foot via the signposted descent or as part of the cycling tour through the hills.

The Santuario di San Giorgio is the destination of the Cavalcata di San Giorgio every year on 23 April. Residents of Montorgiali and neighbouring villages take part in the Cavalcata. When choosing a holiday apartment in Montorgiali, this fixed date can provide an additional point of reference if you would like to plan your trip around an event involving the local community.
