A village full of friendly cats!
Hello, dearest friends!
How are you? Today, I want to introduce you to another beautiful place in Tuscany, a spot called Montegiovi, which is a hamlet in the municipality of Castel del Piano in the province of Grosseto. It’s a very scenic place, and you’ll be struck by its beauty as soon as you arrive.
This beautiful village is located on a hill, on part of Mount Amiata, giving you the chance to enjoy a panoramic view of the Val d’Orcia in Grosseto. In fact, it’s about 50 kilometers away from Grosseto.
The first "resident" I had the chance to meet was a beautiful cat. These villages are full of these wonderful animals, and many of them are strays that wander near the houses in search of food. From there, my walk began, and I could already admire the stunning view that can be enjoyed from this small village. I also stopped to observe the old washhouses, which were likely used long ago but are unfortunately now in disuse.
Continuing my walk, I was able to admire what probably remains of the ancient fortifications that surrounded the village since the 1100s—a sight that’s always impressive to see.
As I kept going, I came across some very narrow streets, the kind that people often have to squeeze through. But most of all, I stopped in front of the Church of San Martino, which, unfortunately, I couldn’t see from the inside because it was completely closed.
As my walk continued, I paused for a moment to observe the woods surrounding this place. These lands once belonged to the Bishop of Chiusi. I kept strolling through the village streets, practically not encountering anyone. When walking through places like these, you really feel a sense of complete relaxation.
I hope my photos can convey this sense of peace and tranquility that these places offer, where life moves very slowly but is truly made up of quality moments. I hope you can visit these places, too. I’ll see you in the next post, and I wish you all a great day!
It's really a very beautiful place, you managed to capture the beauty of this place very well. Amazing, have a nice day, Auntie♥️♥️
What a beautiful picture my friend
What a beautiful scenery and thank you for sharing this post.
The place is so beautiful and has a captivating atmosphere. The place has really fascinated me. This village is in the middle of mountains. If you can spend some time in such an environment where you can see the natural beauty of the mountains and the scenery, you will forget everything in life and your life will become colorful. Do you live in this place?
The narrow streets and the view of the mountains feel like something out of a storybook.

Thank you for sharing them here.
Beautiful place and beautiful cat!
The aura of the place is very tranquil, and I don't see people. Is this early in the morning? Thanks for answering.
Woah!!! As a cat mom of way too many cats, I feel like that place is for me! :)
What a lovely place!!!
Nice to go walking in that place to observed the historical areas . Strolling around and observing at the same time is quite nice because you gather information about the Montegiovi in Tuscany.
The place is truly beautiful, surrounded by stunning buildings. Especially the area where the cat is located—it’s so picturesque and you can tell it’s a peaceful spot, with its serene atmosphere.
Wow! It’s the kind of spot where you can truly relax and enjoy in the beauty of Tuscany😍
It seems pretty much abandoned... That cat is very cute
I wasn't expecting such beauty. The narrow streets, barely wide enough for a single car, were unexpectedly charming. But it was the view of the mountains that truly stole my breath. They rose up in a dramatic sweep, their peaks shrouded in mist, creating a scene so picturesque it felt unreal, like something dreamed up by a fantastical storyteller.
Such a nice and peaceful place, I really liked your posts.
For a stray cats look pretty foynnnn
Wonderful place to visit, and I love the cat, thanks for sharing this beautiful spot.
