Hotel berhampiran Pane E Tulipani, Montepulciano

My boyfriend and I visited this hotel for our first night in Italy, and we could not have asked for a better way to start the trip. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, the room was very comfortable, and the food was incredible. It was a short drive to Montepulciano and Pienza so we were able to explore the two towns without expending too much energy. The area was relatively quiet, so we were not disturbed by loud noises. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay in Tuscany! It’s perfectly enjoyable for individuals, couples, families, or a group of friends.

Camera spaziosa e molto pulita, in posizione comoda a poca distanza dal centro, ampio parcheggio, proprietaria molto gentile. Rapporto qualità/ prezzo più che ottimo. Consigliato in particolare modo come base per visitare la val d'Orcia.

Il secondo anno che vengo in questo splendido hotel dotato di SPA, un hotel davvero molto completo in quanto ha una piscina al coperto di tipo termale ed una all’aperto dotata di ombrelloni e lettini gratuiti per gli ospiti. A completare i servizi la sera musica dal vivo sul prato all’inglese nel giardino è una colazione continentale davvero completa sia di dolce che di salato.

We visited Montepulciano for the wine and then looked for somewhere to stay. This place seemed to fit the bill, about 15 minutes away with lots of 4* hotels at low prices. How lucky we were. The town is the strangest place. This town has has about 50 hotels but only 10 open, the rest boarded-up, unloved or simply abandoned with weeds growing out of roofs, carparks etc. It's an industrial archaeolgists paradise and gives a foretaste of how nature reclaims civilisation. It turns out that, about 20 years ago, 2000 visitors per day flocked to the Thermal Spas for 'wellness' and health trips. Those hoards of trippers have dropped to a dribble. It is the place that time forgot. Taking pot luck, we chose the Excelsior, which looked like the most imposing hotel on the Main Drag. The hotel is faded glory. Simple rooms with high ceilings. Nice views from large windows. The bed was very firm. The bathroom was clean. Describing the rooftop pool and sun-terrace as 'fabulous' would be going way too far. A simple buffet breakfast was included. The hotel is 2-3 stars. It was plain & comfortable - and the management deserve a Gold Star for keeping it going as the town dies around them. Being about 25 miles from the Tuscany hot-spot of Sienna helps them I suppose. If it wasn't for a coach party from Devon, we'd have been just about the only people there in the last week of July. No wonder the chambermaid couldn't wait to get into our room from 0800. Grrrr. We stayed on a Friday night, about 200 metres from the open air 'Club Forti'. Eventually the music stopped at 2am. Which spoiled it a bit. Ideal for an overnight stop - ten minutes off the main A1 Autostrada. And you can tell your friends that you've seen what Harrogate could be like in 20 years if Bettys Tea Shop closes.

We paid 272€ for one night in a Deluxe room. 1) there was a LOUD 100+ person wedding party below our room window that continued until 1AM. When we asked to move, no help. 2) the A/C was not working so we could not drown out the noise. 3) the room was 1970’s decor and completely NOT Deluxe. 4) we were treated rudely by the head waiter on the terrace when we walked out to see the pool. Quote: “you’re in the middle of our dining room”. Seriously. And then later when we walked through to enter the hotel the same man treated us as intruders - we were hotel guests. 5) the night of the wedding and the morning after we politely told reception what happened and there was no apology or opportunity to reduce our 272€ charge. Terrible customer service and terrible stay.

Thank you for making my holiday so special! I felt so great staying in this castle and the whole experience was just amazing. Huge rooms and beautiful Tuscany's landscape. I liked the swimming pool and the jacuzzi so much. The check-in lady was extremely friendly and always helpful and smiling! Thank you once again. I highly recommend this place, and I wish to return again with my family to this beautiful castle!

Great location just outside the main entrance to San Quirico. Spotless clean with very professional personnel who truly works very hard to please guests. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms small but clean. We moved from an upstairs room to one with a small garden—which was much more enjoyable. As we stayed 8 nights having access to a private garden made a huge difference—note however that you will not be guaranteed a room with a garden! The upstairs room had a strange couch that was uncomfortable—basically just for show. We travelled with a small dog and were charged 20 euros a night extra for cleaning but we did not mind though it seems on the high side. The staff truly made an effort to make us and our small dog feel welcome. A bowl and a bed were provided. Breakfast was wonderful but we had to walk through town as it is only served at the main of the hotel. If it rains, it is a bit of an inconvenience but the hotel does lend guests an umbrella. Hotel parking is a nightmare and I cannot recommend it unless you have a tiny car. Free public parking is convenient and we never had an issue finding a spot.
