Tucked in among the rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside, LC Cappella used to serve as the farm’s chapel. Many original details remain, including the bricked-in and arched windows and the dark wood confessional door on the downstairs bedroom. The dining and living areas are combined with a wood-plank sleep loft area overhead. Steps from the kitchen area of the common space lead up to the open loft, which has generous headroom and is private but not noise proof. The bathroom is downstairs. The apartment also has a piano (untuned) guests can use. (Air conditioning in living room)

This vacation rental is set on the LC farm and vineyard. The site is surrounded by vineyards and the rolling hills of Tuscany. Next to the swimming pool is a comfortable outdoor seating area that is a favorite spot for guests to gather and relax before dinner, even if they aren't swimming. There are bikes on site for guests to use along with a bocce court and ping pong table. Guests may also use the old pizza and bread oven. The owners live on site, and the farm foreman is present on weekdays. Guests can buy wine, grappa and olive oil on site, including the farm’s own Brunello wine.

The farm is a 10-minute drive or a 40-minute hike (on a steep trail) up to Montalcino; the trail follows a section of the ancient Via Francigena used in the Middle Ages by pilgrims coming from Northern Europe to Rome. Siena and the Chianti Valley are among many easy day trips.

Other vacation rental properties on this site include LC Salvia and LC Rosmarino.

Montalcino, Italy - Tuscany, Home of LC Cappella

Montalcino is a beautiful hill town, sporadically populated in Etruscan times and permanently settled around 1000 AD. The town was important in medieval times and its thirteenth-century walls are still largely intact. Today Montalcino is known for the Brunello wine made in its surrounding farmlands. Its center is pedestrian-friendly and walkable. Its narrow streets are lined with shops, good restaurants, lively cafés and wine bars. It hosts an open-air market on Fridays and offers a museum of sacred art. Visitors to the town’s fourteenth-century fortress can climb its tower for a spectacular view of the countryside or sample local wines in its basement cantina. The town offers banks, ATMs, coffee bars, a grocery store and a good bakery.

Staying in the countryside outside Montalcino puts you in the heart of the Tuscan wine belt, in the shadow of countless wineries and an easy drive to Chianti country. Traditional farm life continues in Montalcino and the many beautiful hill towns that surround it. Here, artisans sell pottery, small restaurants create traditional Tuscan meals, and old parish churches hide stunning frescoes.

Montalcino is about 40 minutes south of Siena and an 90 minutes south of Florence.
Other day trips from Untours’ Tuscany vacation rental apartments include the historic hill towns of San Gimignano, Pienza, Montepulciano, and San Galgano; the Etruscan sites of Volterra, Chiusi, and Cortona; the natural beauty of Mt. Amiata and the coast; and the monasteries of Monte Oliveto and Sant’Antimo.

Customer comments about LC Cappella, Montalcino, Italy - Tuscany

"We were totally charmed by our "chapel" apartment, and evenings with other Untours friends by the pool as the sun went down over the vinyards was memorable. And of course, there was a glass of brunello with us. Le Chuise was far beyond expectation -- beautiful and perfectly located." Gay Neale

"We were excited to have separate bedrooms, which were spacious. The apartment is charming and was a great place to meet up with the other guest at the pool to share your stories of your day's outings." Suzy Hammett

"The host, Nicolo and his family made us feel so welcome. He invited us all to a pizza party one night. He had an open brick oven and made everything himself! The hike up to the town of Montalcino was invigorating and had beautiful vistas along the way." Kerry & Ken Washburn
