The name Montichiello derives from its legendary Roman origins and its original Latin name “Mons Cloelii”..
Surrounded by ancient city walls that are still intact, the small yet spacious village of Montichiello is a delight to stroll through its quiet paved streets. Vases with flowers adorn window sills of the ancient Medieval buildings that are beautifully preserved by the proud locals who take excellent care of their tiny oasis in a sea of undulating hills and patchworks of valleys.
A blend of urban energy, natural beauty, and coastal lifestyle makes these ten destinations some of the most beautiful coastal cities in the world, each a unique escape by the sea.
