We also chose to stay here because you can walk into town and enjoy all it has to offer, (reads no car required and plenty of amazing food & wine to be had!!) and the central location giving you a great base to explore this southern part of Tuscany bordering on Umbria. (Lake Trasimeno is only 45 minutes away, medieval... More

We discovered this gem back in 2005 while traveling through Tuscany. An originally planned one week stay turned into a special two week italian vacation, the type you never forget, the one that makes you fall in love with Italy and all things Italian. We returned the following year and spent almost 4 weeks loving every minute of it. We... More

We stayed in Fontecastello during the 1st week of May 2012. We were 2 couples and 2 babies. At this time of the year, no need to heat the rooms.

My husband and I stayed here for one night on our way to Florence from Rome. It was a shame the trip was so short. We loved everything about this place.

You have to come and see yourself. Good acoomodation, good wine, nice swimmingpool, nice people, near Montepulciano you can walk to the center!!!!! We had a very good time here and we have told a lot of friends to go there, we will be back.

The apartment was practical, spacious, and clean and had everything we needed. Our private terrace was... More
