Hotel La Terrazza di Montepulciano - Montepulciano

8.0

A wonderful location in the heart of Montepulciano. Very hard to find. But wonderful Roberto, the owner, was kind enough to return with us to our car so that we could follow him to the hotel. Roberto is worth the price of the room itself. He is the most gregarious host you can imagine and he loves people. He has his own wine vintage, a family gelateria and lots of suggestions for dining and sightseeing. We met many nice people during our stay which made the visit more pleasant. Our room was quite large (2 rooms), but the shower was quite small. Continental breakfast was adequate, nothing special.

Finding the place, despite the signs, was a challenge, but once we arrived, Roberto was waiting to greet us, charm us, and give us a tour and a glass of limoncello! We had a hilarious conversation between my butchered Italian and his spurts of English. We loved Montepulciano and Roberto and Victoria and their beautiful space. Since the town virtually shuts down around 10 pm, we obtained some wine from the "honor bar" downstairs, and sipped it out on the terrace in the late evening surrounded by medieval buildings and blooming geraniums.

Very large rooms, recently renovated rooms and entryway floor. Excellent and welcoming host and hostess.

My wife and I very much enjoyed our stay at La Terrazza. Roberto and Victoria are very warm hosts. She is very gracious and he is very enthusiastic. Roberto has excellent restaurant recommendations. He is very proud of his hotel, and clearly loves Montepulciano. As do we. We will certainly return to La Terrazza.

9.2

Roberto and his wife Victoria were the most amazing and friendly people that we met in our entire stay in Italy. The room (suite) that we stayed in was beautiful and cute and very authentic. This was our favorite hotel and staying in the middle of Montepulciano was a very great experience. We found that the town shut down too early and not enough night life but what an amazing place to see!

2nd visit to Montepulciano. Great food. Had only breakfast at the hotel.

10

The owner, Roberto, treated us like family. He rode with my husband at 10pm on a Friday night to return to pick up our college daughter from the train station 30 min away, as she was arrived later than us. He truly made the stay memorable. The property was authentic and beautiful - with an outdoor garden and rooftop seating area. The town is quaint, a perfect Tuscany town. It is difficult to drive in Montepulciano because of the very narrow streets, so I would either park in the parking area and walk and find the hotel first, or else get very specific instructions on driving in to the hotel first.

I could not fault this hotel. The owners, particular Roberto is more than wonderful and welcoming. As my partner said he is like your long lost uncle and you are treated as part of his family as soon as you arrive. The hotel is 2 star rating but I don’t know why, there is nothing two star about this place. The rooms are amazing, decorated very nicely and extremely large! We travelled with friends and both rooms and a bedroom and sitting area. The hotel is located within the old town and easy to walk anywhere you wish to go, vineyards, restaurants and of course the wine shops. I could not recommend this hotel highly enough! I hope to return soon!

I and my wife had an awesome experience at Terraza de Montepulciano. Roberto and and his wife Vitoria makes us feeling at home and gave us the best tips for food, wine and traveling around this marvelous Toscana. The rooms are beautifull, spacious with al local looking. I strongly recommend this hotel for everyone who is looking for an central point to visit Tuscany. We look forward to come back to visit our Tuscans friends

We absolutely loved Victoria and Roberto. They were so friendly and chatty, even though we speak NO Italian without the cheat sheet! We had a couple interesting translation issues, which were hilarious! The room we had was like an attic dormer type of room, actually it was two rooms; a separate sitting room, and a bedroom, plus a full bath. We only stayed one night, and we definitely could have stayed longer here. Victoria recommended a restaurant just down the street and it was delicious. We also had a couple of drinks out on the terrace from the self-serve kitchen (just write what you take on the notebook and they charge you at the end- very reasonable price for the convenience) before going out. Breakfast was nice and Roberto insisted on catering to our every need. Getting there was creative. I think at one point we were driving the wrong way up a very narrow, very steep street, and eventually, I just got out and walked to look for it while my husband sat at a carpark just outside the center of town. Once we got there and parked, there was no problem.

9.1

Roberto and his wife are very gracious hosts and Montepulciano was our favorite of the hill towns. We wish we would have stayed another night.

9.9

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay at La Terrazza de Montepulciano…we wished we could have stayed longer. The proprietor Roberto is so friendly, welcoming and fun. He really goes out of his way to make his guests feel comfortable and helps ensure they have a great stay. He chatted with us and gave us tips on places to eat and to buy things. Our room was cozy and spacious…it was actually more like a suite and it had a terrace. Also, the hotel is in a great central location and it is really charming. Roberto serves a nice breakfast. We stayed at other places in Italy, all of which had higher star ratings, but La Terrazza was our favorite. If you are looking for a welcoming, cozy place with a friendly helpful staff in a beautiful location, then La Terrazza is the place.

9.0

Roberto&Victoria are exceptional hosts. The hotel is spacious, welcoming. Best accommodations we had in Italy. It exceeded our expectations. Easy to find. Lots of steps.

8.9

Accoglienza veramente cordiale.Marito e moglie gentilissimi! Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Una critica:ci è stata assegnata una suite (meglio di quanto richiesto, ma il bagno era veramente piccolissimo!

8.2

Nice small hotel in great location in middle of old city. They even had parking right in front. Proprietor was very friendly. Rooms were spacious.

9.8

The owners,Roberto and Victoria are charming and made us feel welcome the moment we entered the door. For a taste of Italy at its best, I would highly recommend this quaint little hotel.

10

Roberto and his wife are the best hosts!!! This was one of our most memorable stays in Italy.

10

We could not believe just how good Hotel La Terrazza was, and how it is only rated 2 star is beyond us! Roberto and Victoria were excellent hosts, most helpful and entertaining. We would not hesitate to recommend this hotel, and will definitely be back.

8.6

Excellent location (though it is tricky to find at first but that holds for most addresses in Montepulciano), nice rooms, nice hosts.

8.8

This was a special experience in Toscana due to the very friendly and special staff ( especially Roberto). He gave us excellent tips for two restaurants in Montepulciano. Both of them were very good. Local atmosphere at the hotel was great. Breakfast was not special but it was served very personal way. Rooms were clean and quiet.

9.2

To say that our stay with at La Terrazza di Montepulciano was one of the major highlights of our trip to italy would be a serous understatement. Staying with Roberto and Victoria was like visiting your favorite relatives. From the moment you step through their door you are family. They are so kind and welcoming, you immediately know they would do anything for you. Roberto (or should I say George Clooney) has a great sense of humor, no matter what language you speak, and a generous soul (just ask him about his volunteer work at the local hospital). I truly wish all hoteliers would emulate and all hotel customers could experience Roberto's passion for hospitality. If you go to Italy you must experience the sights, food, wine and people of Montepulciano and only place to stay is at Hotel La Terrazza di Montepulciano

9.4

The best part of the hotel is the proprietor Roberto who is very welcoming to his guests. The location is excellent and you can drive to the hotel by following the signs though the route is torturous. There is parking right outside the hotel. We had a very spacious, clean room. Breakfast was nice and Roberto was a very gracious host who made sure you enjoyed it. The location was excellent for exploring Montepulciano and its surroundings.

9.9

The place is just wonderful. Roberto one of the owners was a trip. The rooms are beautiful and the common areas are very friendly. The ample parking in such a small hilltown was greatly appreciated.

9.9

This lovely hotel is ideally located in the heart of Montepulciano. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. The rooms were quite large, clean, and well-appointed. The bathroom was European-small but immaculate- the water pressure was excellent. My family and I had use of the garden terrace in the evening for a bottle of wine and some snacks... We were encouraged to use the refrigerator in the dining area as we needed. The availability of free parking next to the hotel was a HUGE benefit. I would stay at this hotel again and would heartily commend it to others.

9.9

Is the best hotel in our trip to Italy, for 90 euros /night we had a very, very nice room, well decorated, spacious, and very clean. Their web site doesn’t really transmit the beauty of the hotel. Roberto, the owner is a fabulous person, very passionate about what he does he show us the entire hotel, and was always helpful. The room for breakfast is open 24 hours for guests who wanted to take a bottle of wine (he produces wine), a coffee, a bottle of water or whatever you might find in their fridge, you just put in a post-it your name, room number, and the item you took. Roberto also recommends us a very nice and good restaurant called ‘il godimento divino’. We came by car, and the directions to the hotel were mentioned everywhere in the little town, so you can’t miss it, and the hotel have a little parking. We really enjoyed our one night stay in Montepulciano, and though that it was a shame that we only booked for one night. It definitely exceeds our expectations. We travel around Italy for 2 weeks, and never saw a hotel like this, and at that price.

7.6

Roberto is a pleasure, went way out of his way for us, driving us back down to our car (we parked outside the walls and walked to find the hotel first), and letting us follow him back to the hotel. Engaging personality that makes you feel more than welcome. Very helpful. The only reason we wouldn't return to this hotel is the bathroom. Sit down tub/shower was very cumbersome and small, outdated. Overall, I can make the recommend but just remember you won't have a stand up shower stall.

9.7

We highly recommend La Terrazza. Roberto and his wife are outstanding hosts and the location is fantastic. My only downside would be that the beds are extra firm. Other than that the rooms are quite large, clean and comfortable. Montepulciano was one of my favorite stops during our two weeks in Italy. Its quaint streets are free of the tourist hordes that hit the bigger tourist areas. The shopping is fantastic and you won't see any of the cheap non authentic stuff that is pushed in other tourist areas. My recommendation would be to stay here as your base for your day trips through Tuscany.

Montepulciano was a definite highlight of our trip to Italy, just beautiful! We had a large room with a separate sitting room and a virtually private terrace. Roberto and Vicoria were very welcoming hosts. Very good breakfast as well.

9.7

The hotel is in the centre of town and has lots of character. The map on the site is not very clear but the numerous signs led us directly to the door and there was parking reserved for guests right outside. Roberto and his wife were very welcoming and recommended nearby restaurants of which we particularly liked Godimento di Vino.

8.0

Most enjoyable 3 night stay - with very hospitable host and hostess. Location is excellent for enjoying Montepulciano and for car trips to the surrounding towns of Tuscany.

7.1

Roberto & Victoria gave us a warm welcome The Room was clean and Large,because our room was at the front of the property by the door we did experience the sound of other guest coming and going.Breakfast on the patio was quite an experience with Roberto's unique style!It took us three circular trips around the walled town before we found the Hotel our Stat nav was a bit tempremental!Park up and walk it is much easier to find the first time. The restuarants were good although this was more about the excellent local wine and Company.Looking around Montepulciano was a good excercise for the Calf muscles and cardiovascular!

9.8

This was our favorite stay in Italy. We couldn't believe that all the positive comments on the website were true, but they were! Roberto is a fabulous host. We are recommending that all our friends go to Montepulciano and visit La Terrazza.

9.6

C'était la premiere fois que je me rendais à Montepulciano, nous y sommes arrivées tres tard le soir , mais malgré tout, nous avons été reçu à merveille. Roberto a été une grande aide pour nous orienter dans la ville , ainsi que nous diriger vers d'autres endroits ou nous avons été reçu différemment d'avec lui,homme assez unique en son genre, mais tout aussi chaleureusement. C'est une place a recommander sans hésitations aucunes.

9.3

Roberto is definitely a character, worth staying just to meet him! The house & town have alot of character too. Weather not so good so didn't use terrace garden, but it looked lovely. Quite hard to find the place initially as the town is a bit of a rabbit warren.

10

We got there at 10:30pm due to missing our train and were a little upset with our situation and began second guessing our stop in Montipulciano. From our experience we knew most places weren't very accomodating to late arrivals. However upon our arrival to the hotel, we were greeted by the owner with smiles and humor. He treated us as if we were family and had known him for years. He ran the hotel as if it were his home. Though we only had one night there and less then 24hrs in the area it was probably one of the best stops during our trip because of the owners hospitality, the beauty of the hotel, room, and surroundings. Though the owner spoke little english we had few problems communicating and understanding each other. He was more than accommodating for anything we needed. We highly recommend this hotel and a trip to Montepulciano!!

8.8

Roberto the proprietor is a real character and a great host, and made me feel very much at home during my stay in Montepulciano. I highly recommend staying at La Terrazza.

10

Roberto was a fabulous host, I cannot recommend La Terrazza highly enough.

9.9

Great little hotel, the staff was wonderful. Very pretty garden setting and the rooms were very cute.

9.7

A brilliant place to stay - very friendly and welcoming family. Amazing location in the very heart of the Old Town. Lots of space and storage for everyone, even in a triple room. Linen changed frequently - and the beamed ceiling was a bonus.

10

We wished we had more time to stay with Roberto and Vittoria. Everything said about this little hotel is true, they welcomed us like long lost children and made us so at home that we didn't want to leave. Roberto is the consummate host with a quirky mix of Italian and English which you somehow understand. The hotel is ideally situated in this beautiful walled city. When you have accommodation booked in the town you can drive right in through the gate and wind your way through the tiny streets (which was interesting in our fairly large car) and park right outside the hotel, very convenient. This was one of our favourite places, watching the football in the town square with all the locals was a night to rememeber. We left with hugs and kisses all round and a promise to return, and we will.

9.0

Unfortunately we could only stay for one night and had to leave before breakfast. Roberto was brilliant and organised our taxi for 0600! The hotel is situated very close to the centre and a highlight was sitting on the terrace listening to the world go by. Our room was spotless and our only regret is that we could not stay for longer. We will certainly go again.

9.0

Fantastico! We will be back!

7.5

Es muy recomendable para una familia con niños pequeños, es tranquilo y la propietaria da todo tipo de facilidades. Tiene una localización muy céntrica, con todos los lugares de interés muy accesibles. En general, se puede decir que es muy recomendable. Solo tiene una pega: no tiene ascensor y es una tercera planta.

8.4

This hotel is located within the walls of Montepulciano, so folks just need to be aware of the adventure of driving your car to this hotel, but it is worth it. Our room was large, clean and very comfortable. Roberto was a wonderful host. He was genuinely interested in all his guests, and cared for them as if they were his family. Breakfast was the usual coffee, juice, rolls, and yogurt but served with Roberto’s flair and sense of humor.

9.8

This place is as good as everyone says. Parking out the front, a very charming Roberto, his wife and (young adult) children as hosts. The central location, the cleanliness of rooms...everything was fantastic! Our room opened out onto a street below so although a little noisy- it was all the charm and banter that we had come to experience. We came stayed over 2 very hot days and although no air con in rooms, the stone building kept the rooms cool.

9.9

Roberto and family welcomed us into their family. We stayed for 5 days and always felt warmly received. Even if we saw Roberto out in the town, he would always be there with a hug and kind words. We stayed up late one night and had wine in the garden with Roberto - it was heavenly. This is a wonderful property and wonderful family. The property is a little tricky to find but, once you are comfortable driving the narrow streets, you simply follow the arrows to "La Terrazza."

10

This is the only place to stay in Montepulciano!! Location, amenities and service cannot be matched. Roberto and his wife made our stay memorable. We will definitely go back to visit our new friends. Ciao Roberto from Daniela & "the brothers" :)

We loved staying here. It was by far our favorite place to stay in all of italy on our trip. The staff are amazing and extremely friendly and warm. The room is everything you could dream for on a trip to tuscany. We woke up to a terrace right off our room and we could open the window to a sunny day. Also the tratoria right next to the hotel was our favorite restaruant in italy and maybe the world. You will not be let down if you stay here. We strongly suggest it.

10

Fantastico!! Magnifico!! Stupendo!! Roberto and Vittoria are wonderful hosts. You couldn't ask for a better place to stay. We would give 10 stars if we could. We loved it so much we stayed an extra day and can't wait to go back. We were treated like famiglia (family) and were very sad to leave. Roberto will recommend great places to eat and also inform you of festivities in the area. The free parking is a bonus. Molto Grazie per tutti. Ci vediamo presto!
