Palazzo Falcinelli Luxury Room in Montepulciano Center with Air Conditioning and Elevator

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Palazzo Falcinelli? Walking up Via del Poggiolo, you’re basically climbing into the heart of old Montepulciano – I mean, you’re literally fifteen steps from the main drag, but somehow it feels tucked away from all the tourist chaos. The building itself is this gorgeous Renaissance palazzo that’s been converted into apartments, and honestly, having an elevator in a place this old is kind of a miracle (trust me, after a day of walking Montepulciano’s steep streets, you’ll appreciate not hauling luggage up four flights of stone stairs).

The room I stayed in was what I’d call “elegant without trying too hard” – high ceilings with original beams, those thick stone walls that keep things surprisingly cool even in July, though the air conditioning was actually pretty robust when the afternoon sun got intense. What really got me was the attention to detail… the furniture felt substantial, not like those flimsy hotel pieces you’re afraid to lean on, and the bathroom had this fantastic rainfall shower that I definitely didn’t want to leave. The windows look out onto the narrow street, and I loved hearing the locals chatting as they walked by in the evenings – it felt authentic, you know? Not like some sanitized hotel experience where you’re isolated from the real life of the town.

Location-wise, you’re basically winning the lottery here. The Piazza Grande is maybe a three-minute walk uphill, and if you head downhill, you’ll hit some of the best wine bars in town – there’s this little enoteca called Cantine Contucci that’s practically around the corner where the owner will pour you tastings of their Vino Nobile until you’re best friends. I also discovered that staying right in the center means you can easily duck back to the room during the midday heat (which, let’s be honest, can be brutal in summer) and then head out again for the evening passeggiata when the whole town comes alive. The only minor thing I’d mention is that weekend nights can get a bit lively with people walking past – but honestly, it’s more charming than disruptive, and the thick walls keep most of the sound out anyway. The host was incredibly responsive too, which matters when you’re navigating a historic building in a medieval town where your GPS might send you down a dead-end alley.

Reviews

• Very good – Aleisha from Australia – 15 July 2025 (8/10)

  Room was well appointed and very nice decor, although our room had a very narrow staircase into the room, difficult to bring luggage up, but it seemed our room was the only one like this. Location was close to main piazza and if was lovely to have a lift, rare in Italy. Didn’t meet the staff, self check in and out.

• A must place to visit in Tuscany! – Francesca from United Kingdom – 2 July 2025 (10/10)

  Very central location with brilliant views even with the relatively small windows. It was a very comfortable stay and we received clear communication from the hosts to self check-in. This was one of our favourite locations in Tuscany!
  
  We expected the stairs up to our room in advance based on previous reviews so didn’t take our suitcases and packed a small overnight bag, which was definitely the best choice as made it very easy. Also you wouldn’t want to drag a big suitcase around this town either as very hilly, although there was parking relatively close. We just took a wrong turn and couldn’t find it!!!
  
  An absolute must visit is La Grotta for dinner, one of the best restaurants on our Italian road trip.
  
  What could be improved: The small windows, but it was still incredibly light and bright in the mornings.

• Would recommend staying here. – Sylvia from United Kingdom – 18 June 2025 (9/10)

  Good location even with all the stairs to get to the property from the car park. Luckily there is a lift once in the property. It's quiet and perfect for one night. Communication was good even if a bit impersonal.
  
  What could be improved: Parking instructions especially given that Parking 6 gets so busy. Alternatives should be given or recommendations to come by taxi! Coffee machine was not the cleanest and the instructions are incorrect – we had to google it.

• Exceptional – Mcbain from United States – 12 June 2025 (10/10)

  Superb location, stunning views, spotlessly clean

• Our stay was wonderful here at Palazzo Facinelli! Perfect location and very helpful with all of our questions. Would 100 – Teresa from United States – 9 June 2025 (10/10)

  Everything!

• Exceptional – Jessica from United States – 4 June 2025 (10/10)

  Luxurious shower

• Tuscany at its best – Jörgen from Portugal – 29 May 2025 (9/10)

  Great location and great standard with a nice view .
  
  What could be improved: Very hilly location so need for better information where to park and how to find the apartment .

• Very Clean in a nice location. – Robert from United States – 25 May 2025 (8/10)

  Our room was the San Francisco which was located on the second floor. The building was very clean as was our room. All the amenities worked perfectly. The 3 room apartment was perfect for my wife and I. Nice touch with the bottle of wine and water on arrival. Keep in mind that its Montepulciano and the city is very hilly. The location of Palazzo Falcinelli is a short walk in relation to parking area 8. Nice countryside view from the windows.
  
  What could be improved: I didn't like that we were able to hear the occupants of the room next/up from us. As we sat in the living room we can hear VERY CLEARLY what was going on i.e. coughing, sneezing among other sounds. My comment here is based on our stay. Your stay may be different. Out of respect for other occupants, I don't know if this location would be suitable for families with young children. Our bedroom noise was fine as it was on the opposite side of the room. I would also recommend having a small safe inside the room.

• Exceptional – Oliwia from Jersey – 22 May 2025 (10/10)

  Although there was a bit of a mix up with our room when we arrived, the host sorted this for us very quickly. The room was nice and spacious.

• Perfect stay. Lovely accommodation. Would certainly recommend to others and stay and stay again next time we visit Monte – Paula from Australia – 13 May 2025 (10/10)

  Property was very central, modern and clean.
  
  What could be improved: Not a problem for us, but a lot of stairs from car park to the apartment.
