Best Montefollonico Hotels

First time on a European trip by myself. This hotel is charming, clean, wonderful food, service and all served with a friendly smile. The people I have come in contact with speak English. For me that was such a plus. I realize I am a visitor, to this country, but the ability to converse is huge. The morning continental breakfast is very varied. Even the pickiest of eaters would find something to eat. You can walk into town from here. Not a ton of things to do there, but it’s a place you can walk to and stop and get something to drink or a sandwich. I would highly recommend coming to this beautiful location.

This was a great place to stay in Montepulciano. Luca and Victor were both very helpful in getting us to the hotel and back and forth to the parking. Driving in Montepulciano is an experience - steep with switchbacks and stone walls and buildings on both sides. It is worth it, though. The views from the Locanda and from across the street were spectacular. Our room was lovely although the bathroom was very tiny. If either of us was a large person, I don't think we'd be able to get in the shower! Breakfast was delicious. Be sure to try the baked goods and the chocolate brioche, if they have it. Our first day, Luca was very helpful with suggestions of where to go. We had a wonderful time in Cortona on his suggestion. The second day he told us to call his good friend with a winery in Montalcino and we would be able to get in, but they were completely booked! Book in advance if you can. We ate at the enoteca one night and it was delicious. We did have a little communication mishap. I had emailed Luca a few months in advance and he offered to make our other dinner reservations while we were in Montepulciano. He confirmed these with us when we arrived, but when we went to Acquacheta for our reservation, the owner told us she had made a mistake and had sent a message to Luca a few days earlier saying they could not get us in. Luckily, she called several restaurants for us in the area and was able to get us in somewhere. Most restaurants were booked. If we had known when we arrived at Locanda, we could have easily made another reservation then.

Stayed for a couple nights in the Rossa Suite. This is lovely guesthouse, with our Suite being on the top floor of the building having stunning view of the countryside and other buildings in Montepulciano. Rossa suite was large with plenty of space. What I really liked was the communication from the owners. The day before I received a whatsapp message asking when we will be arriving and giving us general directions to the hotel. During the stay they would also message you to make sure everything was OK. Other points to note: - Location is about 100m from the bottom of the hill where the main entrance of the old town is. - The hotel is on the top floor, so you need to walk up 3 flights of stairs to reach. The Rossa suite is up another very narrow staircase. We were travelling with 2 large suitcases. It was OK for us but it is worth noting for anyone who may have issues with this. - Our suite did have an aircon unit but didn't seem to be working as the control on the wall did not operate it. When we were staying in June the temp was generally cool, but i imagine it could be an issue in the heat of summer. We did not ask if there is a separate remote control for the aircon unit. - There is a nice rooftop balcony that is available for all guests. Good views and there a chairs if you fancy a late afternoon drink. - Small kitchen area on the main floor. - Breakfast was at a cafe about 100m from the hotel. Its a nice historic cafe. The standard breakfast is just drinks and pastries. Through the hotel we paid an extra 3 euro each to include a hot option that was basically eggs and piece of bacon. - There are plenty of places for lunch in town but they do get busy with large tour groups and day trippers. If you are having dinner we strongly recommend booking in advance as not all places are open in the evening, particularly on Mondays as we found to our peril!

Definitely recommend this place! I have never felt so welcomed at a place before. I was worried about parking in Montepulciano, and someone mentioned parking wasn’t an issue with this hotel, so I booked La Terrazza for that reason. We loved our stay here! I called Roberto, the host and owner, just before we arrived and he told me exactly where to meet him (Parking lot #6). He spoke better English than we spoke Italian, that’s for sure. Once I arrived, he took us to another level of this parking area where only permitted cars can park, and as one of his guests, we were allowed to park here. We then climbed into his car with our luggage, and he took us to the hotel and checked us in. Inside the town, the streets are extremely narrow and there’s hardly room for people to walk, so I would never have wanted to drive inside the town! The hotel is between two streets, the upper and the lower level street. The parking lot is closer to the lower street. We stayed here for 3 nights on the top level of the hotel, which had a bedroom, a sitting room, and also a shared outdoor terrace patio. Internet in our room was good - 42.8 Mbps down / 11 Mbps up when I ran Speedtest. There is a downstairs area, with a small reception area and breakfast room. Breakfast was included, and here we met Victoria, his lovely wife. We had espresso, fruit drinks, yogurt, croissants, salami and cheese, and some other baked goods every morning. They have two long haired chihuahuas, Rambo and Quattro, who we met. Roberto and Victoria made us feel so welcome. Every morning, we would have a conversation with Roberto, and he would give us advice on where to go for lunch and dinner. Simply a wonderful experience!
