Situated in Tuscany between Siena and Florence, Monteriggioni enjoys fine weather for much of the year. Tuscany boasts a Mediterranean climate with long, hot summers and wet, mild winters. Temperatures can reach up to 30°C in the summer, and begin to decrease after August.

Conversely, if you head towards the coast to the west, temperatures will rise and the weather is likely to be clearer and warmer. Peak temperatures can get very hot in the summer, so bring a high factor sun cream to protect yourself and your family from the rays.
