Podere Fontecastello

A family-run farmhouse with rooms and apartments, a pool and a garden at the foot of Montepulciano, about 10 to 15 minutes on foot from the old town.

Why people love it

• The family. Guests name Antonella and her family. One reviewer said staff drove them to and from the train station.
• Breakfast. Reviewers describe a beautifully presented breakfast served on the terrace with pastries, rolls and savory items.
• Close to town. The old town is a 10 to 15 minute walk, and guests mention a bus station and groceries nearby.
• Rooms and setting. Guests describe spacious rooms, apartments decorated with dried flowers and rugs, and a quiet setting among olive trees.

Why they come back

"This was our second time here, this time just with our son."

The worst thing guests say

In October 2022 and October 2024 two guests said the walk home from town is dark, with a stretch along a busy road and an unlit last section. In October 2024 one guest said the rooms are poorly soundproofed, and in April 2023 a guest found the room chilly until the heating was on. None of the 25 newest reviews, from June 2025 on, repeat these.

Insider tips

• Take a taxi or drive back from town at night.
• Ask for a quieter room if sound matters.
• Staff gave good dinner recommendations, according to one guest.
