Holiday Apartment in Historical Palace

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about this place? The sheer weight of history when you walk through those palazzo doors on Via del Poliziano. I mean, you’re literally staying in a piece of Montepulciano’s past – not some themed hotel trying to look old, but an actual historical palace that’s been thoughtfully converted into holiday apartments. The 9.4 rating isn’t just inflated review scores; this place genuinely delivers on that promise of authentic Tuscan luxury.

The location is honestly perfect if you want to experience Montepulciano like a local rather than just another tourist shuffling between wine shops. Via del Poliziano sits right in the heart of the historic center, which means you’re within stumbling distance of Café Poliziano (trust me, their morning cornetti are worth the early wake-up) and maybe a three-minute walk to Piazza Grande where all the real action happens. What I loved most was how quiet it gets at night – unlike some of the busier streets closer to the main gate, this little pocket of the old town settles into this peaceful evening rhythm where you can actually hear church bells instead of tour groups.

The apartment itself… well, it’s what you’d hope for when someone says “historical palace” but often don’t get. High ceilings with those beautiful old wooden beams, windows that frame the Tuscan countryside like living paintings, and – here’s the practical stuff that matters – modern amenities that actually work. The Wi-Fi was solid (I worked a few mornings without issues), the kitchen had everything needed for assembling those market finds from the Saturday morning vendors, and honestly, the beds were comfortable enough that I didn’t miss my hotel pillow. There’s something special about making your morning espresso in a kitchen that probably housed nobility centuries ago, then stepping onto a terrace where you can see vineyard-covered hills stretching toward Pienza. The whole experience feels less like a hotel stay and more like you’re borrowing a friend’s incredibly well-located family property. Parking can be tricky in the historic center – like everywhere in these medieval hill towns – but the hosts provide clear directions to the closest spots, and once you’re settled in, you really don’t need a car for anything. Walking these ancient stone streets becomes part of the daily pleasure, not a chore.

  Fantastic location, nice and quiet and a lovely little rooftop area. A wonderful apartment, that I'd guess would be lovely at any time of the year.

  Location, size, view, kitchen (even though we didn’t use it)

• Trinayoga from Australia (9/10)

  The view, the garden, the experience of living for a week in a historical Tuscan village in a palazzo. The apartment was spacious, well presented and perched above one of the main gates.

• Vivian from United States (10/10)

  Absolutely phenomenal location, beautiful and spacious accommodations, clean and well appointed. The building is ancient but beautiful , with gorgeous details which we really appreciated. Excellent host.

• Barbara from United States (9/10)

  Parking in lot 8 made finding the apartment simple as the street is at the top of the incline access. The space is large and uncluttered.. nicely decorated. It is airy and the views around the city and from the small terrace are quietly peaceful. The kitchen has all that’s needed if you brought food as there are no groceries within the city walls. There are several nice restaurants to enjoy. We enjoyed opening all the windows to enjoy the evening breezes.Two bathrooms were pretty and everything functional. The building is secure and neighbors quiet. .
