There are places that are not chosen by chance.
I have already shared many reasons to move to Montalcinello, but there is one that almost no one talks about.
Think about global warming, the huge masses of water moving, the increasingly frequent cloudbursts that flood cities, and the daily floods. So let's ask ourselves a provocative question: where would Moses buy a house?
Montalcinello: 378 meters above sea level, built on rock.
You can keep investing in garages, basements, and houses on the plains, looking at hills and mountains only as vacation spots. But maybe, little by little, these issues are starting to change our minds. In fact, in recent years, the hilly and mountainous areas of Tuscany have begun to repopulate (the reversal comes after decades of deep and continuous decline and population loss). It's no longer just nostalgia or tourism: it's a conscious return.
According to Il Tirreno and the UNCEM 2025 Report, right here among Chiusdino (and therefore Montalcinello), Monticiano, and Sovicille, one of the highest growth rates in the Tuscany region is being recorded.
A sign that more and more people choose to live here permanently, not just to pass through.
Why?
🌾 Quality of life: clean air, authentic landscapes, human rhythms.
🏡 Homes still affordable, often with land, gardens, and breathtaking views.
💻 Growing connectivity and services, thanks to the new regional law 11/2025 on “Widespread Tuscany” and the “Digital Villages” call.
💶 Real incentives: regional contributions for those who buy or renovate a house in the villages.
🤝 A lively and welcoming community, where people still know each other by name and a new neighbor is a treasure, not a stranger.
Here you can work remotely, open a shop, start an agricultural project or simply live better... with less noise and more sky!
