This beautifully restored and professionally decorated residence is located within the walled city, the historic center of Montepulciano, an important hill town in southern Tuscany.

Situated on a small lane just off the main commercial street of the town, 'the Corso,' it offers ready access to the cultural life of the town, restaurants, coffee bars, shops and the wine bars, tasting rooms and cellars where you can sample the famous wines of Montepulciano, yet the apartment is so quite that an alarm clock will be needed if you don't want to sleep away the morning.

At the foot of the lane is a small plaza overlooking the medieval wall of the town with a breathtaking panoramic view of vineyard-covered hillsides, clusters of farmhouses and the Lake of Chiusi in the near distance, Lake Trasimino and the town of Cortona in the middle-distance and the spectacular Appenine Mountains beyond.

The precise age of the original house is not known but the cellar contains the town's only remaining ceramics kiln and certainly predates the 17th century addition that is now a separate residence for the owners.

Although completely renovated, the residence retains its original character - hand-hewn chestnut beams with handmade terra-cotta tiles between, local travertine marble floors, travertine walls in the bathrooms, travertine vanities and countertop, travertine door frames set in thick stone walls with panelled wood doors and hand forged iron hardware. Even the copper and wrought iron light fixtures were made by a local craftsman. The bathrooms and kitchen are thoroughly modern and equipped to meet the expectations of discriminating visitors. There is also a central heating system and a working fireplace for the comfort and pleasure of winter visitors. In summer the apartment remains cool and fans were enough to keep the air moving but in anticipation of the effects that global warming may bring in the future, we have replaced the standard fans with TECNO AIR SYSTEM units in each bedroom. These combine Ionizers to purify the air with an ultrasonic nebulizer, to cool the air using an evaporative process without wetting. These are very effective cooling systems in a hot dry climate.

    Perfect location to explore the surrounding area and the town—close to shopping and restaurants. Royce was a very helpful and gracious host. One alert: the apt rooms are on separate levels so be prepared for a few to several stairs between levels.

    What a wonderful stay. Charming accommodations. The host with the most- thank you Royce for taking such good care of us. Super convenient location for enjoying your stay in Montepulciano and for checking out all the small villages in the region.

    Montepulciano is a welcoming and classic town in the heart of Tuscany and this location and it’s owner Royce are just as friendly as the town. A walled city on a hill, be prepared to do some steps and the incredible panoramas will not disappoint. Lots of space, two bathrooms make group touring very comfortable.

    The apartment was very nice, clean and roomy. Owner greeted us at our car and answered all our questions. He was a gracious host. The apartment is right in the center of the Village and walked to all our sites and restaurants. Thank you, Royce, for your hospitality!

    The historic home has been appropriately restored with modern conveniences but maintains loads of character. Its location is excellent, splitting the upper and lower parts of the historic center, and just down the walkway are some of the most breathtaking views of Tuscany. Royce was responsive to questions and is a fantastic host!

    Royce’s apartment is in a fantastic location and was a great home base for our stay. We could easily explore Montepulciano on foot and keep our car close by for exploring the countryside and beyond. Royce was responsive and provided a great guide to the town.

    This was lovely apartment in an excellent location. It was truly charming. There is a wonderful small market right outside the apartment on the corner where you can get amazing cheeses, pasta, cured meats, etc. We loved it and would absolutely stay there again. Note though that from the parking lot to to apartment is a long staircase up (consider that when packing) but that is pretty true anywhere you stay in Montepulciano. Even though it was very hot during our stay, the apartment stayed pretty cool. If we ever get back there, we will definitely look to stay there again.
