Flying In
We recommend flying into Florence and renting a car as you make your way to Siena.
Borgo dé Brandi is located between Florence and Siena in Monteriggioni, a walled town in Tuscany, known for its medieval fortifications and watchtowers. The venue is nestled among groves of olive trees and vineyards with a picturesque view of Monteriggioni castle.
Getting to Monteriggioni from Florence
Borgo dé Brandi is not far from Amerigo Vespucci Airport in Florence (38 miles). We recommend renting cars for ease as taxis, busses and trains are not as reliable in this area.
Driving Directions: ~1 hour
The drive is about an hour (36 miles) with scenic views of the countryside.
- Take the A1/E35 highway heading south from Florence.
- Take the exit for Firenze Impruneta, then follow signs for the RA3 (Raccordo Autostradale Firenze-Siena) toward Siena.
- Stay on the RA3 for ~40 km (25 miles) and exit at Monteriggioni.
- From Monteriggioni, follow signs for Strada di Brandi or Borgo de' Brandi.
- Use Via Cassia Nord/SS2 south briefly, then turn onto Strada di Brandi.
- Drive through scenic country roads for about 5-10 minutes until you reach the agriturismo entrance.
- Parking: Borgo de' Brandi offers parking on-site for guests.
