Montaione? I recognise that – it is the Comune in which Castelfalfi is situated. I am an architect and many years ago I worked on, or was associated with a large project which at the time was the largest tourist destination  in Italy funded by the German TUI tourist agency  - it ran into problems with the Soprintendenza (Heritage Body) and was scaled down, it was a commercial blow to the project, but it was for the better in my view. Look at https://www.castelfalfi.com/ it is only 20mins by car from Mura. I remember it as being an enchanting part of the world with beautiful landscape and I am sure you will enjoy your trip.
