Umberto 121
House
The prose of life in Umberto 121 is extraordinarily simple, even though the house remembers times when complex pharmaceutical mixtures were prepared here. There's no need to solve complicated equations, although bankers' money was once counted here. Now, only priceless moments of joy matter.
Is it influenced by the Tuscan sun or the magic of morning espresso at the bar run by a friendly older Italian? It’s hard to say, but suddenly there’s time to be together, sipping coffee on the sunlit terrace. Wander through the alleys meant for locals. Not knowing Italian and they not knowing English, communication happens somehow. Sure, you can visit Siena or Florence. But why stand out? Montisi is not just a stop on your journey; it’s a place worth staying longer.
For those unwilling to venture further, a comfortable house awaits, with frescoes dating back to the 11th century. Somewhere, Umberto lies in the historical center of the village, in a hidden garden, easy to forget. The huge kitchen tempts you to create a culinary masterpiece from the ingredients. The living room with a library invites you to lose yourself in books. A cozy room with a fireplace offers a moment of relaxation. From the window, a view of cypress trees and hills – the icing on the cake of this Tuscan corner.
