Agriturismo Merigge Wellness & Spa Montepulciano

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Agriturismo Merigge? The drive up Via di Montenero is actually part of the experience – you’re winding through proper Tuscan countryside, and suddenly this restored farmhouse appears with the spa building tucked discretely behind it. I mean, you’re technically in Cervognano, but honestly, it feels like you’re in the middle of nowhere (in the best possible way). The whole place has this zen-meets-rustic thing going on that somehow doesn’t feel forced.

The wellness center is where they really got it right. I’ve stayed at plenty of agriturismos that tack on a “spa” as an afterthought, but this place was clearly designed around the concept. The treatment rooms overlook the vineyards, and there’s this indoor pool area that catches the afternoon light perfectly. What I loved was how quiet it stays – even when they’re fully booked, you’re not dealing with crowded facilities or rushing to claim a lounger. The massage I had used local herbs, which sounds gimmicky but actually made sense given all the lavender and rosemary growing right outside. They’ve got this partnership with local producers, so everything from the oils to the honey treatments comes from within a few kilometers.

The rooms are solid – not Instagram-perfect, but comfortable in that authentic farmhouse way. Thick walls mean you actually sleep well, and the bathrooms are modern without being sterile. Parking is easy (always a relief in this part of Tuscany), and the staff genuinely knows the area. When I asked about hiking trails, they didn’t just hand me a generic map – they told me which paths have the best views of Montepulciano’s towers and where to stop for lunch along the way. The breakfast uses ingredients from their own garden and nearby farms, which you’d expect, but they execute it really well. That 9.5 rating makes sense when you consider it’s not trying to be a luxury resort – it’s doing exactly what it set out to do, and doing it thoughtfully. If you’re looking for a proper escape that still keeps you connected to the landscape and local culture, this is your spot.

Reviews

• Martín (10/10)

  The place was fantastic! Amazing location and great services. It is ran by its owners who are extremely helpful and kind. I would definitely recommend this place that is just minutes away from Montepulciano's historic center and most vineyards.

  Agriturismo Merigge was our first stop during our trip through Italy and it exceeded our expectations. The property is beautiful, nestled in the countryside with amazing views while still just an easy 10 minute drive to the historic part of Montepulciano (and even closer to small restaurants in the nearby town of Aquaviva). It was too cool to use the pool during our early October visit but relaxing next to it after a day of site seeing was so lovely. Breakfast each morning was delicious — and had the best cappuccino that we found during our trip. Our room had a comfortable bed, pillows and a fabulous shower. Raffaele and his wife were so welcoming and helpful, making dinner reservations for us multiple times. Everything about our stay was wonderful – we hope to come back again!

• Simona from United States (9/10)

  The property was absolutely beautiful – tranquil, charming, with a touch of French to compliment the Italian feel. The pool was gorgeous and offered a spectacular views. The buildings too were charming and cozy. Our host Raffaele made us feel very welcomed and taken care of, as did the staff.

• Marisa from Ireland (8/10)

  Lovely welcome from Rafaelle with lots of info and recommendations. Lovely pool area and views.

• Donna from United States (10/10)

  Absolutely beautiful, a great experience. So welcoming. Me or my family that I was traveling with cannot say a bad thing. Loved the people, loved Carlotta the cook, she is downright amazing. We will definitely return.

• Camilla from United States (10/10)

  Merigge is the perfect spot of beauty and comfort to explore Tuscany. The gardens, pool, and rooms are so well cared for and picturesque. The bed and pillows are very comfortable and the breakfast is delicious. Because there are only six rooms there is quiet and relaxation, but we also enjoyed talking with the other guests when we crossed paths at the pool or breakfast tables.
