A remarkable jewel of a find. No tourist attraction... just a brown sign to say it existed. Beautifully untouched and free Parking for an hour in the village.

Fascinating medieval structure, but no effort seems to be in place to take advantage of its existence. A museum would seem appropriate. Cute little city with some interesting buildings and lots of parking. Apparently, you need to buy tour tickets to enter, but there was no sign of this when we were there.

A great visit for all the family a really enjoyable visit. The area is quiet and not crowded like many tourist places. There's a free parking very close to the castle. It is a private castle and you have to take a guided tour, but the price is good value. We had an amazing guide who was very engaging and tried to make the visit fun and gave a lot of details on the history of the region, why and how the castle was built, details about living on the border of Sienna and Florence in the Middle-Ages. There is a permanent Art exhibition around the castle. A great place to go!

Unfortunately it was closed when we got there, would have loved to visit it.

Nice castle to visit. Beware that you need a guided tour to be able to enter. I did not enter, the outside was beautiful as well. And the drive to the castle is also recommendable.

We really enjoyed our visit there. I was in charge of locating a small medieval castle to visit while traveling between two cities and picked this one pretty much randomly. They area is completely tourists-free. There's a free parking very close to the castle. As it is a private castle, you have to take a guided tour. We were very lucky to be there the day the only French-speaking guide was on call. We got an amazing visit with a lot of details on the history of the region, why and how the castle was built, and tons of little details about living on the very border of Sienna and Florence in the Middle-Ages. Instead of filling the rooms with old furniture, there is a permanent exposition of modern Art based on the story of the castle. For those interested in ancient architecture, the round tower is one of the only 4 surviving ones with such an ancient stone dome.

Very nice fortress town with full castle at one end. Very nice!!!!! Closed for several days since an employee caught COVID. however, planned to re-open by this weekend.

It's a little surprising to find this little interesting fountain in the middle of a small town. The park is huge and has a lot of green space, good for walking and dogs.

Nice to see, a bit uncared for. But do go into the small square, there is a scanning device that triggers lovely music! In the pond on the side you can see turtles.

It's an uphill walk and (too) steep for cycling. There is not much left of the fountain, and it's dry. Interestingly, it seems to be on the route of the Camimo de Santiago de C

Super cool. And old. Very old. And free.

No need to buy tickets, the place is generally very beautiful, but spoilt by the litter people have left, when there are several trash bins to use. The pond with turtles had plastic straws and other plastic fragments floating in it, it needs to be cleaned. There were land workers maintaining the area, hopefully they get round to doing that. Shame people show disrespect in the first instance though.

Worth visiting for the eerily evocative ruins with the weird (but entirely complementary) art work - and also the wildlife. There are terrapins (not turtles!) in the pond, lizards scurrying about, and I spotted a beautiful praying mantis on the handrail.

Great place but totally not taken care of.

It's called castle but is actually a church which was closed when I was there.

It's ok of a castle to look at. It has more of history side than a wow factor. There are better castles within 2km vicinity.

Hard to find parking in the area.

(Translated by Google) Interesting place, but with very limited opening hours (from what I saw, it's listed on Google as open only on Sundays for one hour). During my visit (outside only), there were a lot of mosquitoes, so be prepared. (Original) Luogo interessante, ma con orari di apertura molto limitati (da quanto ho visto, indicato su Google come aperto solo la domenica per un’ora). Durante la mia visita (solo esterno) erano presenti molte zanzare, quindi meglio attrezzarsi.

(Translated by Google) Intrigued by the presence of a Templar structure near Poggibonsi. Admirable architecture kept very well externally. Unfortunately they told us that it is not open to the public on weekdays but only on certain occasions. (Original) Incuriositi dalla presenza di una struttura dei templari nei dintorni di Poggibonsi. Ammirevole architettura tenuta molto bene esternamente. Purtroppo ci hanno detto che non è aperta al pubblico nei giorni feriali ma solo in certune occasioni.

(Translated by Google) A return to old times, places of a distant past. Next to the castle, to the left, is a pleasant walk or bike ride. (Original) Un ritorno a vecchi tempi luoghi di un passato remoto. A fianco, a sx, del castello, piacevole passeggiata a piedi o in bicicletta

(Translated by Google) It's a shame we couldn't visit the interior, it has opening hours. The church however is open. Very suggestive (Original) Peccato non avere potuto visitare l interno, ha degli orari d apertura. La chiesa invece è aperta. Molto suggestivo

(Translated by Google) The Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Assunta is a quiet place full of symbolism. Its simple facade contrasts with the interior, which is very welcoming and has details that are worth admiring. I found the natural lighting coming in through the stained glass windows particularly beautiful. Many visitors appreciate the spirituality transmitted by this place (Original) La Col·legiata de Santa Maria Assunta és un lloc tranquil i carregat de simbolisme. La seva façana senzilla contrasta amb l’interior, que és molt acollidor i té detalls que valen la pena admirar. Vaig trobar especialment bonica la il·luminació natural que entra pels vitralls. Molts visitants aprecien l’espiritualitat que transmet aquest indret

God bless you

(Translated by Google) I discovered this place by chance when I stopped by to transfer to San Jiminyano. There was an unusual statue in the small square in front of the cathedral. Later, when I went to San Gimignano, there were similar human statues on top of the building. (Original) 예전 산 지미냐뇨 환승위해 잠깐 들렀다 우연히 발견한 곳. 성당 앞 작은 광장에 특이한 조각상이 있었다. 나중에 산 지미냐뇨에 가보니 건물위에 비슷한 사람 조각상들이 있었다.

(Translated by Google) Catholic Church in the historic center. The square in front (Piazza Cavour) divides it from the Church of S. Lorenzo and the Town Hall. In a short distance you can see different architecture. (Original) Chiesa Cattolica in centro storico.La piazza antistante (piazza Cavour) la divide dalla Chiesa di S.Lorenzo e dal Palazzo Comunale. In poca distanza si possono vedere architetture diverse.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful square with a beautiful church. But while teleportation is a great thing, sometimes things can go wrong. Look at this guy how he rematerialized. He must have been quite old, in fact he is quite rusty. (Original) Bella piazza con un bella chiesa. Ma anche se il teletrasporto è una gran bella cosa, qualche volta qualcosa può andare storto. Guardate questo tizio come si è rimaterializzato. Doveva essere parecchio anziano, infatti è parecchio arrugginito.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church located in the center of Piggobonsi in Italian Tuscany. Very close to the train station of this beautiful industrial city. I am only in this city for a short time but you can enter this beautiful church and walk around it while going to San Gimignano. The people are very friendly and attentive. (Original) Hermosa iglesia ubicada en el centro de Piggobonsi en la Toscana italiana. Muy cerca de la estación de trenes de esta hermosa ciudad industrial. Estoy muy poco tiempo en esta ciudad pero puede entrar a esta bella iglesia y caminar por sus alrededores mientras iba a San Gimignano. La gente muy cordial y atenta

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful church!...definitely worth visiting! Located in the middle of the town, it dominates the city of Poggibonsi... (Original) Una chiesa molto bella!...sicuramente da visitare! Situata nel bel mezzo del paese, domina la città di Poggibonsi...

It took us two hours to find it, walking for miles! Need some decent signage but interesting insight into past when you get there. It will amaze you the extent of the settlement.

Love it! Really well done

Unfortunately, despite it stating online that it would be open, it was deserted. It was still interesting though and we were able to walk around the site and all read the information on the info boards.

A must visit location for history lovers to realize how the people was living before the era of technology.

Pog

(Translated by Google) A beautiful place that inspires peace and serenity. It's part of a restored and very well-maintained complex (Fortezza, Laghetto delle tartaruga, and Fonte delle Fate). Recommended for relaxing walks and/or a family day out. (Original) Bellissimo posto che ispira pace e serenità. Fa parte di un comprensorio (Fortezza, Laghetto delle tartarughe e Fonte delle fate) recuperato e tenuto molto bene. Consigliato per passeggiate rilassanti e/o una giornata in famiglia

(Translated by Google) A lot of work is perhaps being done to recreate this medieval village... we went on a weekday, there is no entrance, there is no way to visit it with a guide, neither in the flesh nor in a smart model. Tall weeds everywhere, areas not delimited nor highlighted... A real neglect. Certainly a valuable work but a disappointing location as were the fortress and lakes... everything not looked after, a pity (Original) Tanti lavori si stanno forse facendo per ricreare questo villaggio medioevale.. siamo andati in un giorno feriale, non c'è un ingresso non c'è modo di visitarlo con qualche guida ne in carne ed ossa ne in modello smart. Erbacce alte ovunque zone non delimitate né esaltate... Una vera incuria. Opera sicuramente pregevole ma una sede deludente come lo sono state fortezza e laghetti.. tutto non curato peccato

We found this place when returning from Siena to Poggibonsi. It is close to main road and has good wine and olive oil. We bought some boxes with bottles of wine and 5L olive oil. The Chianti classic wine is €9 a bottle and very good. You have to try it.

Good wine, good price!

(Translated by Google) Very unfriendly because I arrived 10 minutes before closing time. Just saying nicely that they were going to close was not an option. (Original) Zeer onvriendelijk omdat ik toekwam 10min voor sluitingstijd. Gewoon vriendelijk zeggen dat ze gaan sluiten zat er niet in.

(Translated by Google) The shop is a bit spartan, more like it has a department store, the quality/price ratio of the wine is excellent. The staff is very courteous and helpful. I'll intervene in my previous reviews by commenting that: the wine is always excellent, the staff is always very kind but the shop is new and it's fabulous. I would go to live there if they wanted me. Well done excellent work. (Original) Lo spaccio è un po' spartano più che altro ha un grande magazzino il rapporto qualità prezzo del vino è ottimo. Il personale è molto cortese e disponibile. Mi intrometto nella mia precedente recensioni commentando che : il vino è sempre ottimo il personale è sempre molto gentile ma lo spaccio è nuovo ed è favoloso ci andrei ad abitare se mi volessero. Bravissimi ottimo lavoro.

(Translated by Google) Update: I was also able to purchase remotely, by contacting the winery directly. Excellent service, very kind in providing me with the price lists and sending me the wine via dedicated courier. Excellent packaging that preserves and protects the shipment. In short, further confirmation of professionalism combined with quality products. ______________________________________________________ Purchased wine in convenient 10-litre bag-in-boxes. Bottled at home it has lost none of its aromas and body even after a year. Worthy of note is the Syrah, a truly excellent wine. The Toscana Bio is also good. Too bad they don't sell online.... I'll have to organize a new trip to Tuscany. (Original) Update: ho potuto acquistare a anche a distanza, contattando direttamente la cantina. Servizio ottimo, gentilissimi nel fornirmi i listini e nell'inviarmi il vino tramite corriere dedicato. Ottimo imballaggio che preserva e protegge la spedizione. Insomma un'ulteriore conferma di professionalità abbinata a prodotti di qualità. ______________________________________________________ Acquistato vino in comode bag in box da 10 litri. Imbottigliato a casa non ha perso nulla dei profumi e del corpo anche dopo un anno. Degno di nota il Syrah, davvero un ottimo vino. Buono anche il Toscana Bio. Peccato che non vendano online.... Dovrò organizzare un nuovo viaggio in Toscana.

(Translated by Google) they can have the best wine in the world and sell it for 50 cents.... but they will never see my money rude and rude employee... I came in while I was on the phone and the same after my report give me 1 minute I finished he started soliciting me because he didn't have time and had to go elsewhere without letting me finish my work call....... now he has as much time as he wants...... but not with me. (Original) possono avere il miglior vino del mondo e venderlo a 50 centesimi.... ma non vedranno mai I miei soldi impiegata cafona e maleducata... sono entrato mentre ero al telefono e la stessa dopo la mia segnalazione mia dia 1 minuto che ho finito ha iniziato a sollecitarmi perche' non aveva tempo e doveva andare altrove non facendomi finire la mia telefonato di lavoro....... ora tempo ne ha quanto vuole ...... ma non con me.

(Translated by Google) Excellent wines at negligible prices, highly recommended for anyone passing through Val d'Elsa. You can't go home without a few bottles of Chianti from the lands from which one of the best red wines in Italy is born. (Original) Eccellenti vini a prezzi irrisori, consigliatissimo per chi passa dalla Val d'Elsa. Non si può tornare a casa senza qualche bottiglia di Chianti dalle terre dalle quali nasce uno dei vini rossi più buoni d'Italia.
