Go through any city's front gates to leave the city. A travel agent stands with his horse and cart outside the front gates of every city. For example, in Florence, head east to reach the front gates and the travel agency. In Tuscany or Romagna, go south or northeast. At the travel agency, select Monteriggioni as your destination. You arrive at Ezio's villa.
