Il Barlanzone Affittacamere

Superb location with a balcony overlooking the fortress and within easy walking distance of the town. The balcony was a beautiful spot to eat breakfast and equally watch the sunset with some sundowners. We were made to feel very welcome and received excellent restaurant recommendations which was very useful as there are lots to choose from. We can't wait to come back!

The location was in the walking distance from the good wine tasting places in the ”centre”. The host Simone was nice, so it could have been a good experience.

The lady who we met and who gave us our room was just unpleasant. She was so arrogant and not friendly at all. This was new to us, as we have rearly experienced this kind of obnoxious behaviour in our (hundreds) accomodations over the years. We were friendly from the beginning, but somehow she wanted us to feel miserable. Every sentence we said she replied rude and with sarcascm. We didn’t understand why. We saw her with the customers in the wine cellar and she was giving her best show and was so ”friendly”. We just couldn’t understand why she hated us so much and wanted us to feel miserable. Maybe because we were nice and she had dealt only with bad customers, who were not so nice and told her place from the beginning? So maybe being nice to her was a mistake. If so, we feel sorry for her, if she wanted to ”get back to the difficult customers” trough us? We were offered a glass of wine for welcoming and we asked this woman about the wine tasting. She told that there is no tasting and we had already tasted their wine. What?!? So she basically asked us to go somewhere else for wine tasting and of course we went after this experience. We got very good service in the next place and bought some beautiful Brunellos. The room was small and there was nothing extra. The view was to the parking lot. This could have been ok, but the lady made our stay misrable. We met the owner Simone (?) and he was very nice and friendly. Hope he could have been our host during our visit.

Very welcoming host, nice room and excellent location.

The location is right in the city center, in the heart of Montalcino, next to the castle. The public and free parking is nearby, but if you have luggage, it’s better to park close, unload your bags, and then move the car to the parking lot. There is no elevator to reach the rooms, only stairs. However, the place is great, and we were well received. Breakfast is not provided, but there are nearby markets, and the room has a minibar. We recommend it – a great place to stay.

If you don’t mind the stairs, you’re rewarded with a fantastic balcony and view from the apartment! Definitely worth the climb. Oh yeah…the owner also runs a wine shop on the first floor! And the wine he produces is excellent! 👍

The balcony is fabulous!

Loved the property and location. Staff were very friendly and helpful

Wish there was a coffee machine in the room
