Il Vescovo, Incredible Attic in center of Montepulciano, Luxe

Superb and unique apartment inside an old church with beautiful view over Tuscany countryside. One of the most unique places I’ve stayed at, and at great value.

This property occupies the entire second floor of the Church of Santa Maria in Montepulciano—a stay unlike any other I’ve ever had. It began with a sense of mystery, a faint tingle of awe, which slowly softened into comfort and deep appreciation. My 15-year-old son, brimming with curiosity, explored the entryway and the home’s nooks like he was hunting for clues in an escape room. What made it even more delightful? Little surprises not mentioned in the description: a path winding to a small garden, a hidden passage off the kitchen—real gems. The balcony views are nothing short of spectacular, too. The living room overlooks the church, while the bedrooms frame classic Tuscan vistas—both equally captivating. One evening, we watched the sunset paint the sky, and in the distance, the Church of San Biagio glowed beautifully in the golden light. The decor feels rich with history—tasteful, texture and perfectly suited for our group: two families, with one boy, one girl, and the parents. The living room has books that tell the town’s story, making it feel like a cozy little museum. I adored the bedroom linens and the bathroom decor—elegant, comfortable, and immaculately clean. Getting around town is easy, with charming streets to wander and fantastic restaurants to savor local food and wine. This stay was unforgettable. For large families wanting a one-of-a-kind experience in a Tuscan town, this place comes highly recommended.

The house doesn’t have a dishwasher, so I had a faint worry about how clean the tableware might be. In the end, I gave all the utensils I planned to use a good wash—though maybe I was just being overly cautious. I wanted to chop some fruit, but there was no proper cutting board. The small wooden one provided was already cracked, and I spotted a plastic tray with knife marks on it. I figured previous guests must have faced the same dilemma and made do with that tray as a stand-in. On the plus side, finding a washing machine was a nice surprise. It wasn’t mentioned in the description, so I’d already resigned myself to not doing any laundry during the stay. That said, none of these little things diminished my satisfaction with the overall experience.

Location and accommodation were stunning. The views simply amazing and each of the rooms was equal (we used this property to host a small group tour).

The wifi really didn't function well at all at any point during the week.

Unbelievably beautiful accommodation with exceptional views of the valleys around Montepulciano. This home had plenty of space for 8 adults with ensuites in each room. I would love to come back and stay again. An easy walk up to the main piazza and most attractions.

It is incredibly beautiful, very clean, has AMAZING views of the Cathedrale and Tuscan countryside and is in a great location

Even though the directions were accurate, they did not prepare us in any way for the slightly freaky experience of getting to the door of the unit in pitch black darkness! The entrance from the square is also under construction and not marked so it took a while to find it. Try to check in during daylight hours!

The view is the best in all of Montepulciano and the terrace is the perfect place to enjoy the Tuscan sunset! It was easy to communicate with the property before and during our trip and they provided helpful instructions on where to park and how to access the apartment. Montepulciano has a lot to offer - great piazza, endless views, wine tasting (Gattevechia Winery is next door and our favorite), breakfast a Lalma Cafe (ciao, Giacomo!), sandwiches at La Schiaccia dell'Opio, dinner at Rosso Rubino and Ristorante ai 4 Venti and is a great point from which to satellite out for day trips to Siena and Montalcino. Grazie mille!

Amazing property. Beautiful and convenient.

Loved it. Great property. Easy parking. Great views from the apartment. Highly recommend.
