La Fornace - Agriturismo, Montaione Overview
La Fornace - Agriturismo is located in Montaione, Italy. Rated 9.3 out of 10 based on 7 guest reviews.
La Fornace - Agriturismo in Montaione, Italy, is a countryside agriturismo stay that suits travelers who want space, a pool, and an on-site restaurant without giving up easy day trips. The property sits on Via Cerroni 16, where the setting feels rural enough for slow mornings, yet you can still reach nearby hill towns by car. Guests consistently rate it highly, with a 9.3/10 score from a small set of reviews, suggesting a calm, well-kept experience and attentive day-to-day service.
Rooms are kept non-smoking and designed for practical comfort, with family rooms available for groups who want to stay together. Many stays work well for road trips thanks to free parking on site, and the option for offsite parking with discounted rates makes arrival and departure straightforward. After a day outdoors, the terrace and BBQ facilities offer a relaxed way to linger, while the swimming pool provides a simple, weather-friendly centerpiece.
Dining is part of the rhythm here: the on-site restaurant and room service help you avoid the logistics of finding somewhere to eat every night. If you’re traveling with children, the family-friendly setup makes it easier to plan an uncomplicated routine, and pets are welcome, which matters for guests who don’t want to leave companions behind.
For sightseeing, San Gimignano’s historic core is about 18 km away, Volterra’s old town sits roughly 23 km from Montaione, and Castelfalfi is around 10 km. Reviewers mention the overall ease of the stay and the value of having both a pool and dining options on site, which is especially helpful for couples, families, and pet owners balancing exploration with downtime.

Best For
- Couples seeking a quiet, upscale farm-stay atmosphere with a pool and terrace to unwind
- Families who want family rooms and a relaxed on-farm setting where children are welcome
- Pet owners traveling with dogs who value that pets are allowed and parking is free
- Travelers who prefer self-contained comfort (units with seating and kitchen/dining areas) plus convenient on-site dining and room service
Not Ideal For
- Guests who need late check-in beyond 8:00 PM, since check-in is limited to 04:00 PM–08:00 PM
- Light sleepers or anyone sensitive to shared agriturismo activity, since the property includes common areas like a pool and BBQ facilities (noise levels aren’t specified, but shared spaces can be a trade-off)
- Those expecting fully walkable access to restaurants and attractions, since the stay is described as an agriturismo and parking is emphasized rather than walkability
What to Expect

The property feels like a countryside retreat with a garden and a pool with a view, plus a terrace for slower moments. Days can be built around the on-site restaurant and room service, with BBQ facilities available for a more casual meal experience. Guests’ strong rating (9.3/10) points to a polished, “sustainable luxury” farm-stay vibe that combines relaxation with practical conveniences like free WiFi and free bikes.
Location Intelligence
Montaione is the base for this agriturismo at Via Cerroni 16, and the emphasis on free parking suggests having a car will be the easiest way to move around. The property offers free bikes, which can help you explore locally without relying entirely on transport. Specific nearby towns or landmarks aren’t provided, so plan on using your own transport for broader sightseeing.
