Binami: Church, Cycling and Horse-Riding Routes

For a stay in Binami, attractions can be grouped according to their connection to the village: Chiesa Santa Maria Stella del Mare is located in Binami, while Lago di Montepulciano, with its excursions and activities, lies in the wider regional area. There are also cycling and horse-riding routes that reach the village or pass through it. This distinction can help you decide what to focus on before looking for a hotel: attractions in the village, route itineraries and excursions in the wider area offer different starting points for your planning.

Excursions in the Wider Area

In the wider regional area around Binami, municipal visitor information updated in April 2025 names the Centro Visite Riserva Lago di Montepulciano as a starting point for excursions and activities at Lago di Montepulciano. The options listed include guided visits on foot and by electric boat. The difference between these two ways of exploring can help you choose an excursion to suit your interests. If you are planning such a visit, check in advance which options are currently available.

Church and Local Connections

Chiesa Santa Maria Stella del Mare is located in Binami. Its large paved forecourt has seating and cypress trees. These features of the outdoor area are part of the local setting, along with the church itself. Another local architectural landmark, Villa Moretti, is located in Località I Binami in Castiglione del Lago. The names refer to different locations that you can take into account when planning a culture-focused stay.

Cycling and Horse-Riding Routes

The Giro dei 3 laghi cycling route runs from Pozzuolo along a country road to the former Pievaccia Abbey, then continues to Chiesa di S.Maria Stella del Mare in Binami. Its itinerary thus follows a clear sequence: Pozzuolo, the former abbey and the church in the village. Check the route details before setting off if you plan to include this ride in your trip.

After crossing the Canale Maestro della Chiana via a footbridge, the Sulle orme di Leonardo Da Vinci horse-riding route enters the inhabited village of Binami. It also highlights Binami’s favourable hillside location and an impressive panoramic view from above of Chiaro del Lago di Montepulciano. The route heads downhill towards Mugnanese to approach the waters. Compared with the cycling route, which names specific stops, this route focuses on the entrance to the village, the panoramic view and the direction of Mugnanese. This can help you compare the routes based on the features described for each. The activity route and its availability may change; check the information before setting off.

Choose the Focus of Your Stay

When looking for a hotel, the distinction between Binami and the wider regional area is a useful first filter. Consider whether the church and routes connected to the village or the excursions at Lago di Montepulciano are likely to shape your stay more. This can help you decide on the geographical focus you want before comparing options for your trip.
