Borgo del Faggio – Case Vacanza

Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed in my fair share of Tuscan agriturismos, and Borgo del Faggio genuinely surprised me. When you first pull up Via Fontelellera – and yes, GPS will probably confuse you at least once getting there – you’re greeted by this restored farmhouse that manages to feel both rustic and polished. The kind of place where original stone walls meet modern bathrooms without that awkward clash you sometimes get.

What really got me was how quiet it is, especially if you’re coming from the bustle of Florence or Rome. I mean, Montepulciano itself isn’t exactly Times Square, but out here you’re surrounded by actual working vineyards and olive groves. The morning sounds are basically just birds and maybe a distant tractor – honestly, it’s the kind of silence that takes some city folks a day to adjust to. The apartments themselves are spacious (I stayed in one of the two-bedroom units), with those thick walls that keep things cool even in August heat. The kitchens are actually functional too, not just for show, which matters if you’re planning to hit the morning market in town and cook with local ingredients.

Here’s what you should know practically speaking: parking is right there, no drama, and the family running the place is incredibly helpful without being hovering. They’ll point you toward the best wine shops in Montepulciano proper – about a 10-minute drive up the hill – and actually know which ones locals frequent versus the tourist traps. The pool area is lovely, though it gets busy around 3 PM when families return from sightseeing, so mornings are your best bet for peaceful swimming. One small thing – the WiFi can be spotty in some rooms, so don’t count on streaming movies, but honestly, you’re in Tuscany, go read a book on the terrace instead. The location puts you perfectly between Montepulciano and Pienza (maybe 15 minutes), so you can easily explore both without feeling rushed. And if you’re into wine tourism, you’re literally surrounded by some of the region’s best Vino Nobile producers – the hosts can arrange tastings at places that don’t even advertise to tourists.

• Great base to explore Tuscany – Andrew from United Kingdom – 10 July 2025 (10/10)

  This was our second visit to Borgo del Faggio and we would love to return one day. This is great self catering accommodation in a lovely location. Host, apartment, gardens, pool and surrounding area all wonderful. Whilst we were there the weather was extremely hot however the air conditioning was excellent and the apartment cool.

• A lovely authentic stay in Montepulciano – Francesca from United Kingdom – 29 June 2025 (8/10)

  The location of the property is in a nice tucked away spot with stunning hills and surroundings. We liked how easy it was to access and get into our apartment. The pool was very appreciated during the hot June weather!
  
  What could be improved: There was only AC in the smaller room which meant sleeping with a noisy fan in the larger room. Would be better to have it in both rooms to be super comfortable. There was also no full length mirror anywhere which would have been good to have. There were only 3 parasols offering shade by the pool which were often being used so there was no option for sitting in the shade.

• A clean, spacious apartment amongst the vineyards with beautiful views of Tuscany. The kids loved swimming in the pool. – Thomas from Australia – 26 June 2025 (10/10)

  Location, a nice quiet area away from town amongst the vineyards. Beautiful views and large spacious apartment.

• Relax in the tuscan hills – Joris from Italy – 17 June 2025 (10/10)

  Borgo del Faggio is the perfect spot if you want to relax by the pool in the morning and go for wine tastings and village-hopping the afternoon. The location is out on the tuscan hills amongst nature and greenery so expect a short drive to Montepulciano. The apartment is equipped with air-conditioning, and the kitchen fully equipped with pots and pans if you want to have a home-cooked meal. Antonella was very nice and friendly, and even gave us towels for the swimming pool so that we won't have to use bath towels. Next time we'll be in Montepulciano, we will definitely stay at Borgo del Faggio again.

• Wonderful host and excellent location! – Stephen from United Kingdom – 6 June 2025 (10/10)

  The location was superb! We had everything we needed and the apartment was great. Our host Antonella was wonderful and did so much for us! She met us on our arrival and was in touch the whole time giving us recommendations for local sites and restaurants as well as arranging an iron, bringing additional items like toilet rolls and dishwasher tablets as needed. She really looked after us all!

• Antonella was Outstanding as a host and she worked hard to make our stay perfect! She is very special and she made our s – Susan from United States – 26 May 2025 (10/10)
