Si Montalcino Hotel

Everything was just PERFECTION !! The hosts are adorable, the location a dream, stunning views on the wonderful Montalcino landscapes, the facilities spotless and plenty (bar, terrasse, pool, lounge...). The place is quite, rooms are spacious, nicely furnished, matterasses excellent. Excellent breakfast with lots of options. All this at a very good price. For me it is not a 3 stars, but objectively at least 4. I definitely will come back!

The multi-storied Si Montalcino Hotel (air-conditioned; served by an elevator; on-site parking) is located up on the hillside at the quiet south end of the quaint hill-top town Montalcino, the center of the Brunello Wine Country. It is only a short 5 minute/1 mile drive from the hotel to the Parcheggio Piazzale Fortezza (free after 20:00 hours), close to the town's center. Our nice & clean room faced the hill, the french door opens to a small, walled and private terrace which we took advantage of. The bed was comfortable, the spacious bathroom was clean and offered an awesome view of the country side. The excellent breakfast with myriad choices will satisfy everyone. We extend special thanks to the staff at the reception desk who checked us in quickly and with a smile, then spent a great deal of time not only to point out restaurants which best would meet our expectations, but also to make the reservation for us. This was not expected, but very much appreciated since the hotel's restaurant was closed because of lack of staffing. We enjoyed an al fresco dinner at the Osteria di Porta al Cassero at tables set up in Via Ricasoli, only 150 ft/46 m distant from the Parcheggio Piazzale Fortezza.

the pool and the view is great. close to the Montalcino center, nevertheless to walk I think it's too far. about 35 mins walk per direction and hills. parking spaces are available. the restaurant is permanently closed. breakfast is nice but the staff feeled a little bit overwhelmed when asking for something, even though it was not full and busy at the time we where there. reception service is very good. they called for us the wineries and helped with reservations for the tastings and tours. we received recommendations when checking in and my result is the recommendations have been perfect 😊

Hotel is spacious, rooms are very comfortable, perfectly clean and the staff will assist you with whatever you need. We received lots of advice about the area, suggestions where to eat and even encouragement to try some of the local delicacies. Breakfast was exceptional- we never needed lunch, and because we were checking out really early, the staff gave us a “take-out” breakfast for the journey. The hotel is perfectly located to visit all of the “tourist” Tuscan towns. But in my opinion don’t do it! We loved Montalcino (we walked from the hotel but it’s a steep climb on the way back). We also went to Bagno Vinoni an ancient hot springs, and great visit, and the Abbey of Sant Antimo (free to visit with a cute monastery shop where you can buy herb liquors and other curiosities and we loved Buonconvento a real Tuscan town where people lived. We also visited Montelpuciano and San Gimignano (long drives and crawling with tourists like us, don’t do it! unless you like wall to wall shops and tour guides and gelateria).

The breakfast was great, the room clean and the beds are confortable. The staff is really nice and the downstairs area is great. You can park your car at the BNB and in a very quick drive reach the city.
