Transfert en voiture privée de Rome à Montalcino

Montalcino is a small medieval town in the Tuscan countryside. It is intrinsically welcoming, with its old-world layout, historic buildings, and breathtaking wineries and vineyards. If you're a wine enthusiast, it's worth adding to your bucket list, and at Daytrip, we're eager to make your travel wishes a reality.

Our door-to-door service can ensure you're safely and comfortably transported from Rome to Montalcino with no fuss and even a few sightseeing stops. So consider us when booking your trip to this extraordinary town that boasts scenic streets, historic fortresses, and fun activities.

After all, Montalcino is known as the birthplace of Brunello di Montalcino, a much-loved red wine known for its delicious coffee notes and balanced flavor. You can enjoy a glass or two at any of the wineries or while visiting a vineyard.

However, visitors can expect more than wine tasting. There are artistic treasures, quaint cobblestone streets, breathtaking valley views from the surrounding countryside, historical attractions including ancient churches, abbeys, and walls, and a captivating medieval 14th-century fortress to tour!

Try authentic gelato

There is no shortage - trust us - of gelato shops in Italy and along the drive from Rome to Montalcino, so why not indulge? When you drive with Daytrip, we don't mind making a pitstop so that you can tame your craving with a scoop of authentic Italian gelato.

Just be sure to choose a store that says "gelato artigiano” or “artigianale," as this indicates they use only fresh ingredients and hand-make their ice cream in-store.

Keep in mind summer is hot

The Western world might be a fan of air conditioning, but it can feel like Italy missed the memo at times, especially when you begin visiting small towns like Tivoli, Civita di Bagnoregio, Montepulciano, and Montalcino.

So, if you're planning a trip to one of these towns—including Montalcino—it's best to plan to be indoors during the hottest time of the day, especially if you're traveling in the summer. Luckily, there are plenty of indoor activities like touring a museum or visiting one of the many churches.

Validate public transportation tickets

Like other European places, it's important to validate your public transport tickets when traveling from Rome to Montalcino. Often, the tickets between these two places are open-ended, with no date on them and no specific bus or train.

This means that you must validate them at one of the small machines found at a station before catching a bus or train. If this sounds like too much work, consider traveling from Rome to Montalcino with Daytrip rather—no validation or ticket needed!

From Rome to Montalcino by flight

You can't fly the entire way to Montalcino from Rome, but you can fly from Rome to Florence and then drive via rental car, taxi, or private car service to Montalcino. However, you will often need to take a train to the airport and then book a flight there or online.

Although flying might seem appealing, taking a train to the airport and then driving can add travel time to your trip, and it's often expensive. For example, the entire trip can take about four hours and 11 minutes, and the cost is as high as $300 (€330) at times. So consider this when deciding if it's the right way for you to travel.

From Rome to Montalcino by bus

If you want an uber-affordable way to travel from Rome to Montalcino, consider taking the bus. A ticket can cost as little as $17 (€15), and the popular coach line Flixbus offers numerous trip time options, with a bus leaving every two hours.

However, the major downside of traveling by bus is that the average trip takes about five and a half hours, and there are often transfers and stopovers.

Additionally, if you do not want to travel with Flixbus, there are many other options, like Autolinee Federico, Tiemme Spa, Marino Autolinee, and Itabus, which offer trips between these cities daily.

From Rome to Montalcino by train

Taking a train from Rome to Montalcino is another affordable option, but it's important to note that it's the slowest way to travel between the two cities. You must catch a Trenitalia train from Rome to Montepescali, which involves a transfer and a long stop, before traveling onward by train to Buonconvento.

From Buonconvento, you must take a taxi or bus to Montalcino. It's often not worth it unless you have time to spare and want to experience a train trip through the Tuscan countryside.

From Rome to Montalcino by private car

Traveling from Rome to Montalcino by private car service is often the best way to get between these two destinations. When you travel with Daytrip, you'll receive superior service, luxury seating, and affordable door-to-door services and enjoy a leisurely but time-efficient trip.

If you don't plan on sightseeing, we can get you from Rome to Montalcino in less than two and a half hours, making it by far the fastest way to travel. But if you do want to sightsee, our friendly English-speaking drivers can recommend a few stops or accommodate your already booked travel destinations. Convenient, right?

Visit the churches

Although Montalcino's population is only about 5,900, there are quite a few churches. Visiting the churches will give you a good idea of the town's sense of culture, art, architecture, and religion's role in everyday life.

If you're interested, stop at Cattedrale del Santissimo Salvatore, Chiesa di Sant'Agostino, Chiesa del Corpus Domini, Chiesa di San Pietro, and Chiesa della Madonna del Soccorso. Most of these, barring the last, are in the center of town!

Tour the wineries

You cannot visit Montalcino without taking a tour of one of the local wineries and vineyards—of which there are plenty. As one of the premier wine producers in Italy, it's unsurprising that Montalcino attracts many wine aficionados yearly.

If you enjoy wine, you'll be pleased to know you can buy a bottle or more of the favorites you sample and have them shipped back home.

We recommend trying a few of the local favorites, such as Rosso di Montalcino and Brunello di Montalcino, at wineries like Enoteca San Giorgio, Enoteca Bacchus, and Enoteca Grotta del Brunello.

Visit Sant’Antimo Abbey

History enthusiasts will want to plan a tour of the Sant'Antimo Abbey, surrounded by spectacular views of local olive trees and vineyards. This abbey dates back to the 9th century and has an intriguing mixed history, with it falling into and out of many hands over the centuries, including Emperor Charlemagne's.

Although it was in disrepair for nearly four hundred years, famed architect Giuseppe Partini brought it back to life in 1870, making it the beautiful attraction it is today.

When you visit, be prepared to see simple but gorgeous stonework, intricate carvings, and nothing ornate.

In August, the town hosts the Benvenuto Brunello, a wine event honoring the new vintage Brunello di Montalcino, released yearly for public consumption. This event is exciting and insightful, but it's also fun. Plus, the off-season boasts reduced hotel rates and cheaper attractions in the town. Just be prepared for chillier weather, colder nights, and shorter days.
