Montieri hotels, Italy

Montieri rises on the knoll of the same name and is covered by cool Chestnut forests. Its name comes from Mons aeris (or ‘Mount of Bronze’) because of the rich mineral deposits in the area. The name “Bolunnio”, given to a place near the town, indicates that Montieri was Etruscan, not Roman. The numerous tunnels that have recently come to light seem to confirm this origin. These tunnels were used for extracting minerals and the most fascinating of them is called “Buca delle Fate” (Fairys’Lair).
