Montefioralle,
which belonged to the Buondelmonti and Ricasoli families, was originally a
castle with a central keep and thick walls. The walls now contain houses and the
church is built on the highest part of the hill top. As late as the mid 18 C,
Montefioralle had a larger population than Greve, but as the wars between
Florence and Siena ceased and the population outgrew the castle, there was a
shift in population to the area of the market on the river Greve, Mercato di
Greve - now Greve in Chianti. Inside Montefioralle there is a house reputed to
be the birthplace of Amerigo
Vespucci.

How
to get to Casa Forese
Montefioralle
can be reached from Florence, Siena, Figline (when coming by
autostrada from Rome) and from the Florence-Siena autostrada exit at
Sambuca passing Badia
a Passignano on the way.
From Florence or the A1 superstrada exit Firenze Certosa, take the highway 222 through Strada
towards Greve. On the outskirts of Greve, at the tourist information
office, take the turn to the right to Montefioralle. At Montefioralle,
take the road with the double traffic light downhill to Casa Forese
(300 m).
It is possible to reach Greve by comfortable pullman buses from
Florence and then to take a taxi or walk to Casa Forese. The upward
climb is fairly stiff but going down to Greve is an easy and very
pleasant stroll.
