Montefioralle sits on a low hilltop just above Greve, a ten-minute walk up a cypress-lined path from the town. Inside its elliptical medieval walls, the village has changed remarkably little in six centuries. Two narrow lanes loop around the inner circuit; the houses have stone arches and external staircases; cats occupy the sunny corners.
The views from the walls over the Chianti hills — vine terraces, olive groves, cypress lines, and not a single modern building in sight — are the best in the area. There is a good church with works from the Florentine school, and a small wine bar in one of the houses on the main lane.
In late July, Montefioralle hosts a small medieval festival with costumes and local food. For the rest of the year it is quiet and largely non-touristy, despite being only a short walk from Greve's piazza.
