Beautiful home with a warm and caring host family; we felt honored that they are willing to to share their very special family home with visitors. The location is wonderful - we fell in love with Montepulciano. Access and parking is a bit challenging, but that's what life in Montepulciano is like, and it was fun experiencing it. Best of everything in our opinion - where else can you stay in an ancient hilltop fortress town, buy from local craftsmen, taste award winning cheeses and wines, tour ancient wine cellars and see Etruscan tombs all in one stop? Stunning views of the Tuscan countryside in every direction! The Stuart ancestral home is beautifully renovated and furnished with lovely antiques and art. We could have happily spent our entire stay in Italy here, and will always remember it with a smile. Thank you, Maria!
