★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We had an immensely interesting tour of the fortress and the art exhibition inside it. The lady who was our guide was very knowledgeable with good English. She really brought to life the strategic aspects of the fortress and how the art exhibits reflected them. Highly recommended. Phone in advance to book.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice enough little castle, but nothing special for the area. Privately owned, they charge for entrance, even to the bailey, so didn't go in.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice little castle with an art exhibition. Mainly local artists. The guided tour and the recommendation for lunch made a huge difference. If you have to take a decision whether to go for Monteriggioni or Staggia... Come here.. Less touristic, more authentic

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We really enjoyed our visit there. I was in charge of locating a small medieval castle to visit while traveling between two cities and picked this one pretty much randomly. They area is completely tourists-free. There's a free parking very close to the castle. As it is a private castle, you have to take a guided tour. We were very lucky to be there the day the only French-speaking guide was on call. We got an amazing visit with a lot of details on the history of the region, why and how the castle was built, and tons of little details about living on the very border of Sienna and Florence in the Middle-Ages.
Instead of filling the rooms with old furniture, there is a permanent exposition of modern Art based on the story of the castle.
For those interested in ancient architecture, the round tower is one of the only 4 surviving ones with such an ancient stone dome.
