Montopoli in Val D’Arno, a small municipality of the province of Pisa, develops just in the heart of the Lower Valdarno, and extends a short distance from both Empoli and Florence. In the Middle Ages, this important industrial centre served as a strategically important fortress.

Hotels in Montopoli Val D’Arno welcome tourists with the typical warm hospitality from Tuscany. The city's inns and farm houses give guests the possibility to taste exquiste food and wine specialities, and to enjoy genuine traditions from the surrounding area.

The illustrious writer Giovanni Boccaccio described Montopoli in Val D’Arno as an  “imposing castle”, and celebrated the strength of its military fortifications. Unfortunately, many parts of the castle collapsed, and only the fascinating arch of Castruccio withstood great damage. The castle's main bulwark was turned into the bell tower of the Church of St. Giovanni Evangelista and Stefano, and its imposing square-shaped profile still dominates the entire underlying valley. The church cherishes precious artworks of great value, such as prestigious sixteenth- and seventeenth-century paintings and a beautiful fourteenth-century wooden crucifix.
Walking down Montopoli's narrow streets and winding lanes, tourists will have the opportunity to enjoy breathtaking views over the glorious surrounding landscapes and countryside. During the first September week, the old town is livened up by a famous historical recollection featuring a funny archery competition in period costumes. Idyllically set halfway between Florence and Pisa, Montopoli in Val D’Arno makes the ideal base for visiting some of Tuscany's major tourist attractions and highlights.
