Località Modanella is a small village, or frazione, within the municipality of Rapolano Terme in the province of Siena, Tuscany. It is renowned for the Castello di Modanella, a medieval castle that stands as the focal point of the area. The castle's origins date back to the 12th century when it was constructed by the noble Cacciaconti family. In the 14th century, ownership transitioned to the Piccolomini family, who maintained possession for several centuries. The castle has undergone various modifications over the years but has retained its fortress-like appearance. Its architectural features include a well-preserved outer wall with towers featuring sloped bases. Within the castle grounds, the courtyard boasts a charming loggia and gardens, offering a glimpse into its historical grandeur. Adjacent to the castle is the Church of San Giovanni Evangelista, a medieval structure that once fell under the patronage of the Piccolomini family. In the 19th century, the church underwent a restoration that imparted a neoclassical facade, while its interior reflects 17th-century renovations. Notable artworks within the church include "The Supper at Emmaus," attributed to Raffaello Vanni, and a revered 1657 wooden crucifix, which is central to a local festival held annually on the first Friday of March. Today, Castello di Modanella and its surrounding estate span approximately 630 hectares. The meticulously restored farmhouses within the estate serve as accommodations for visitors seeking tranquility and a historical ambiance in the heart of Tuscany.

A cycling and walking path, the "Sentiero della Bonifica", leads the entire 50 km between the Lago di Montepulciano and the mouth of the Arno, next to the Canale Maestro. The dirt road is not ideal, but can be reasonably well cycle. It is absolutely flat, relatively lacking in variety and there is almost no infrastructure - restaurant, hotel, or campsite - right on the way. But no cars.
