About this apartment rental
This beautifully restored and professionally decorated residence is located within the walled city, the historic center of Montepulciano, an important hill town in southern Tuscany.
Situated on a small lane just off the main commercial street of the town, 'the Corso,' it offers ready access to the cultural life of the town, restaurants, coffee bars, shops and the wine bars, tasting rooms and cellars where you can sample the famous wines of Montepulciano, yet the apartment is so quite that an alarm clock will be needed if you don't want to sleep away the morning.
At the foot of the lane is a small plaza overlooking the medieval wall of the town with a breathtaking panoramic view of vineyard-covered hillsides, clusters of farmhouses and the Lake of Chiusi in the near distance, Lake Trasimino and the town of Cortona in the middle-distance and the spectacular Appenine Mountains beyond.
The precise age of the original house is not known but the cellar contains the town's only remaining ceramics kiln and certainly predates the 17th century addition that is now a separate residence for the owners.
Although completely renovated, the residence retains its original character - hand-hewn chestnut beams with handmade terra-cotta tiles between, local travertine marble floors, travertine walls in the bathrooms, travertine vanities and countertop, travertine door frames set in thick stone walls with panelled wood doors and hand forged iron hardware. Even the copper and wrought iron light fixtures were made by a local craftsman. The bathrooms and kitchen are thoroughly modern and equipped to meet the expectations of discriminating visitors. There is also a central heating system and a working fireplace for the comfort and pleasure of winter visitors. In summer the apartment remains cool and fans were enough to keep the air moving but in anticipation of the effects that global warming may bring in the future, we have replaced the standard fans with TECNO AIR SYSTEM units in each bedroom. These combine Ionizers to purify the air with an ultrasonic nebulizer, to cool the air using an evaporative process without wetting. These are very effective cooling systems in a hot dry climate.

We had a wonderful honeymoon in Montepulciano. Royce was very attentive and responsive host.A very cozy stay in a castle-like atmosphere. We cooked in the kitchen, which had everything we needed. We were very comfortable in the evenings relaxing and watching TV and were able to pull up Netflix to watch whatever we wanted. We enjoyed the nearby restaurants and shopping within walking distance. The bed was also very comfortable and we slept very well. We rented a car and took day trips around the area to vinyards and other towns.We enjoyed our stay, but didn't take into account beforehand the many, many stairs from the parking lot up to the apartment. It's quite a climb. And don't miss the information about the stairs in the apartment. The bedrooms are both on different levels from the bathrooms. I would also mention that there are no views to the outside landscape, since all the windows face walls of other buildings. However, the terrace a few steps down the lane has an exquisite view of the whole area.

Royce who owns the property was quite helpful and a great host. We were in a perfect location for shopping, dinning and parking.

The apartment in Montepulciano is perfectly situated - right in the old city just off the main street. Royce, our host, met us at Parking lot 7 and helped us up with our copious luggage (Tuscany and Provence for 2 months, lots of weather changes).We spent many days walking around the old city and enjoying the nearby restaurants (visit Rosso Rubino just up the street; very nice owners, great food), coffee shops, a local butcher, local grocery stores and the wine shops. Montepulciano wine is very good – we visited the nearby DEI (“Day”) winery for lunch and a tour. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.We like to cook, and the apartment had all the necessary equipment – a 4-burner gas stovetop, plenty of good pots and pans, a good size refrigerator, oven and dishwasher. There was a problem with the dishwasher while we were there, but Royce immediately ordered all new kitchen appliances. There is plenty of high-quality fresh food available locally.The bedrooms are large and comfortable; we slept well. The bathrooms are well equipped. Be aware that there is a half-flight up or down to the bathrooms from the bedrooms at night.We lease a car while there and spent many days touring the beautiful Tuscan countryside. When you return to Parking Lot 7, if you wait, a space usually opens up within 10 minutes.All-in-all this is a great place in a great location. Royce is a perfect host – very helpful and communicative both after we booked and when we got there. We’ll be back.
6.0 / 10.0Average·May 2014
We booked this property for 1 week in April, 2014. Mum and Dad with daughter, husband and their 6 mth old baby. Cot and bedclothes provided free of charge. All had our own space and privacy.
Wonderful location in the middle of the village. Free parking at the bottom of the hill. Owners very helpful, supplied us with lots of information before we arrived.
Montepulciano is a delightful village with plenty of restaurants, cafes and ready access to many other historic villages within 30 mins drive. Countryside sensational.
Kitchen a plus when travelling for several weeks (from Australia) and wanting to cook at 'home' and relax.
However, given the inclement weather over the few days we were there it was disappointing the fireplace was not in use (didn’t appear to have been used and no wood or utensils provided). Thermostat heating was more than adequate though.
Bathrooms on seperate floors to bedrooms was a little inconvenient. Given this is a premium wine district, a decent set of wine glasses would have been appreciated. Would occasionally have liked to listen to music or watch television news in the evening however the ‘entertainment’ system was very outdated and needed replacing.
Booked for 5 nights, paid for 7, stayed 4.
