LAKE MONTEPULCIANO : NATURE TO EXPERIENCE, EMONTIONS TO REMEMBER
Just a few kilometers from our agriturismo, nestled among the rolling hills of the Valdichiana Senese, lies a place that enchants both young and old:
the Lake of Montepulciano, a protected nature reserve teeming with biodiversity.
A hidden gem of Tuscany, where time slows down and nature takes center stage.
Here, you’ll discover one of the last freshwater wetland environments in central Italy—an essential stop for migratory birds traveling between Europe and Africa.
It’s a perfect destination for those who love nature, silence, wildlife photography, or simply strolling with eyes lifted to the sky.
🦢 What Can You Do at Lake Montepulciano?
Walk through the Nature Reserve
Follow the marked trails through humid forests and reed beds all the way to the panoramic observation tower (24 meters high).
From the top, enjoy breathtaking views and close encounters with herons, cormorants, and coots.
Hop on the Electric Boat
Silent, eco-friendly, and solar-powered—this is a favorite activity for children (and grown-ups too!).
An expert guide will introduce you to the lake’s rich fauna, sharing fun facts and secrets of this unique habitat.
Bike the Bonifica Trail
Cycle the scenic 65 km path that connects Chiusi to Arezzo, or rent a mountain bike and ride the 12 km loop around the lake—a shorter but equally charming adventure through nature.
Enjoy a Picnic Surrounded by Greenery
A well-equipped picnic area awaits you for a relaxing break.
