"Average" is relative. We've traveled "around the block" a few times, and, for us, this was, at best, an average accommodation. I must give credit where due - the lovely grounds of this charming physical property are maintained by a very hard working gardner. Bravo! We thank the friendly,courteous and efficient managers, Sayed and Aliyah, for their attention to business. That said, we would recommend to our best friends that they consider staying at a different property in the vicinity of beautiful Montepulciano.

I will share with you the reason - basically, for us, the Villa Cicolina fell short in the area of accommodation. The pretty exterior physical property gives the impression of greater luxury than is provided. We were not comfortable. In their responses to clients' critiques, we read that furnishings are from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. Hmm. Think about this. Tables from those periods are fine, but reading chairs? beds? bath furnishings? Our mattress, on a kind of metal camp bed frame, and mattress cover were very thin, the blanket exceedingly tired. "Country chic", as described by another visitor, may sometimes be quite shabby.

We found the bathroom ill conceived. While I did relax in the "traditional" bath, the "curtain" was more for show and cute appearance than for function and my husband was not a happy camper. The bathroom was flooded in every attempt to shower while keeping water in the tub and - don't even try to wash your hair! In addition, the bathroom "mood" lighting was ineffecive.

Breakfasts offered a satisfying selection of yogurts, fruits, eggs, cakes, cheeses and meats. The coffee was very good. However, dinner on the evening of our arrival, was truly inedible. Two gals in the diningroom bragged that they had prepared the evening meal in their "class". If such swill had been served in my school cafeteria, I would have gladly trudged the mile home every day in the snow. Not one element of the dinner served was acceptable and we had to pay for this dumpster fare.

We stayed at the Villa in October for our honeymoon and we were so happy we selected this Villa to stay at. We stayed in the room " Il Pozzo" which was absolutely fabulous. It had a living room area and a bedroom and a huge bathroom with a rain shower and a beautiful bathtub. We felt like royalty upon arrival. The grounds were spectacular, there was a beautiful pool looking over Tuscany and several areas that we could get away just us and enjoy some great wine. Every member of the staff knew us by name and were so personal and helpful The breakfast and dinner's were amazing. They offer dinners cooked by your own personal chef each evening which is an amazing way to meet other guests staying at the hotel. I cannot recommend this hotel enough. You have to go and experience it for yourself. We will return very soon. Thank you to the staff for really making our honeymoon so special. It was the highlight of our trip.

Villa Cicolina is a beautiful 11 room villa set in the hills of Tuscany. The grounds and gardens are beautiful and the view is amazing. We had a gorgeous room that was spacious and charmingly furnished. The staff was attentive, available and very helpful. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. A waiter there by the name of Florian made our experience more enjoyable by his attention and service. The whole setting is relaxing and inviting. We stayed for four nights and loved it.

A very nice villa situated at the outskirt of Montepulciano at the tuscan province of Siena.
The hotel is a restorated villa.
It is charming with great view and quiet ambience. Room were beautiful, food excellent.
The staff is extraordinary- polite, explaining and helping.
The cars parking is out side the villa's ground.
I recommend coming here if you want to taste Toscana and have some quite and amazing time.
