Montepulciano is absolutely beautiful with the Val d Orcia area to be explored and photographed for those iconic scenes of Tuscany with rolling hills, cypress trees and lone tuscan villas sitting atop small hills. Residenza Fabroni is inside the old town and a lovely old house, giving you a flavour of a different era. There is a rooftop with stunning views where we took wine and cheese and had a gorgeous evening. there is a little reading room up some narrow wooden stairs, right out of a storybook. They will pick you up from the train station for a reasonable fee and David who collected us and checked us in was lovely. Helped with our bags and gave us all the info we needed. We had the blue suite which was massive and can easily accommodate a family with kids, although we were just two. They also include breakfast at an absolutely lovely cafe nearby with a fantastic view!! Book Residenza Fabroni. We will be back!

“Beautiful view and very quiet in January”

It was snowing heavily in Montepulciano the evening I arrived. The taxi from Chiusi station cost 50 Euros cash.

It was snowing heavily in Montepulciano the evening I arrived. The taxi from Chiusi station cost 50 Euros cash. The taxi could not reach the front door but my host sent numerous messages to guide me as I walked the last half kilometer. There is no lift in the building and up four sets of stairs with a heavy bag was an effort! We did a remote check-in. I had the Rossa suite which meant a climb of another set of narrow wooden stairs to the very top floor. This room had a stunning view across the rooftops and valley. That view alone was worth the price paid! The residence did not have any other guests and was very quiet. There are no kitchen facilities but there is a kettle, a microwave oven and small refrigerator in the dining room. All of the furniture (including the bed) probably dates back to mid 20th century. I did not see an electric blanket and I thought it was needed. The air conditioner (heater) in the room seemed to work on a timer and was off for several hours in the daytime. Because it was January, a lot of restaurants nearby were closed for several weeks. I discovered other open restaurants further down the main street on the following nights. Tip: The large door to the residence (3 sets of stairs up) was tricky to open. There are instructions on how to solve this problem posted near the door.

“Vintage accommodation”

This is a time machine accommodation in the center of the city. The rooms are really spacious, they are kind of apartments for four people with two separate bedrooms. The decoration is absolutely vintage with many old used items. Such an original place. We had breakfast at Caffe Poliziano with an... more

This is a time machine accommodation in the center of the city. The rooms are really spacious, they are kind of apartments for four people with two separate bedrooms. The decoration is absolutely vintage with many old used items. Such an original place. We had breakfast at Caffe Poliziano with an extra cost. Don't forget to visit and have a city view on the terrace of the building. I have to mention that because of the type of the building there is no air condition.
