Position: set in a fourteenth century palazzo in the heart of the old part of Montepulciano, and with breathtaking views over the Val d'Orcia and the Val di Chiana, the 'locanda' offers an exclusive destination for those who want a holiday with a difference in one of tuscany's most beautiful hill-towns. Things to do: the town's best restaurants, the shops and the Poliziano theatre are all within easy reach on foot. In summer a few minutes' walk will take you to the various cultural events that take place in Montepulciano: classical music concerts in the sixteenth century Palazzo Ricci; performances of the cantiere internazionale d'arte; the barrel -race known as the "bravio delle botti"; wine tastings in piazza grande, and so on.

The 'locanda' has just four bedrooms, each of them decorated individually and furnished with fine antiques from the family collection. On one side the rooms offer panoramic views of the Val d'orcia, while on the other they look over the rooftops of the town towards the Val di chiana, and as far as the lakes of Trasimeno, Montepulciano and Chiusi.

All the guest rooms have spacious double beds, fine parquet flooring and exquisite upholstery, while each room has its own character and style, and is finished and fitted in its own way.

The rooms, which are on the first floor of the palazzo, are all provided with independent air conditioning / heating, minibar, safe, 21" flat-screen with 4 satellite channels, dvd player, telephone and adsl internet connection.

The bathrooms have wide windows looking out onto the tuscan countryside, and have been designed with an eye for detail and comfort. They all have large showers, hairdryers, universal sockets and a range of hermès courtesy products.

Breakfast is served in the large cross-vaulted lounge on the ground floor, which also contains a well-stocked library and a selection of films (in dvd). There is also a free internet point on the first floor for guests' use. Guests can easily reach the locanda by car, where parking spaces are available on request.

Available services: we will be happy to assist you in any way we can, whether by making reservations at local restaurants or museums; booking wine tours of Montepulciano or Montalcino; helping you to organise an itinerary for your holiday; or arranging car hire, with or without a driver.
