Guest Reviews

• Akos (10/5): Excellent location, comfortable, clean, very kind landlord. -
• Vaseva (10/5): Absolutely amazing house! - Amazing place! Spectacular views, clean, quiet, it has everything you need for a great vacation!
• Moliterno (9/5): - Posto incantevole, proprio sotto Montepulciano che si vede lì sulla collina, dalla finestra della camera da letto, e pare un quadro. Grande giardino circondato dalle colline, perfetto per un pranzo all'aperto, un aperitivo al tramonto e per fare giocare i bimbi in sicurezza. Zona giorno poco luminosa (servirebbe semplicemente una illuminazione migliore).
• Riccardo (9/5): -
• Mikhail (10/5): - Идеальное место! Были в Тоскане 8 лет назад, сейчас вернулись уже с детьми. Апартаменты превзошли наши ожидания, большие , красивые, просторные, чистые. Бассейн просто волшебный, сама территория невероятная, все ухоженно. Очень гостеприимный и ненавязчивый прием, вид на Монтепульчано из окон. В общем, всячески рекомендуем и желаем процветания!
• Françoise (10/5): - Le repas du soir était excellent.
• Massimiliano (10/5): Siamo stati molto bene -
• Andrea. MM (10/5): Grazie soggiorno perfetto - Tutto perfetto
• carlo (10/5): consigliatissimo!!! - perfetto
• francesca (10/5): - Antico casale perfettamente ristrutturato, con appartamenti ampi, comodi e completi del necessario. Circondato dagli ulivi, gode di un bel panorama, a pochi minuti dal centro di Montepulciano.
• piero (10/5): -
• 伸一郎 (8/5): Bravo - モンテプルチャーノの街にも近く、幹線道路沿いでもありロケーションは最高でした。家族5人で利用しましたが、部屋も快適で清潔感もありゆったり過ごすことができました。ホスピタリティも高く満足です。 またリピートしたいです。 モンテプルチャーノの街までは近いとはいえ徒歩では厳しいので、夕飯は街まで車を使用しなければならずワインが美味しい地域ですが飲めませんでした。
• Chlasták (9/5): -
• Heinrich (7/5): - Die Lage ist sehr gut. Die Aussicht toll. Die Ausstattung recht gut, allerdings wäre eine Beleuchtung in der Küchenecke notwendig. Ablageflächen im Bad.
• Jackie (10/5): - Great location and also enjoyed relaxing around the pool.
• Paynter (8/5): We had a great time. - Location, pool and gardens. It was a little ‘dated’
• Maryjay6975 (10/5): Exceptionnel! - Quel emplacement merveilleux! Le calme de la vallée et des jardins pour le café du matin est magique. L'hébergement a un cachet unique et soigné. Le tout avec vue sur Montepulciano, quoi demander de mieux? Rien, tout était parfait.
• Javier (10/5): Wonderful apartment/house with pool 5m walk from Montepulciano - Great location, calm environment, lovely landscape view and garden. Perfect view of Montepulciano. Spacious apartment, comfortable beds. Nice swimming pool and surrounding area. Playground for children, grill zone. Friendly staff, having their own wine, oil and marmalade/jam products. Kitchen is just enough to get by, an oven would be a nice to have.
• Ercole (10/5): -
• Kamil (10/5): Super miejsce - Genialne miejsce - czysto, schludnie i klimatycznie. Położony w pięknej okolicy (na posesji gaj oliwny, świetny basen, miejsce na śniadanie na świeżym powietrzu). Bezproblemowy parking na posesji. Standard w porządku, czysto. W bliskiej odległości do Montepulciano, gdzie znajdziemy sklepy spożywcze i restauracje. Bardzo nam się podobało :) + za bardzo sympatycznego właściciela
• ALESSANDRO (10/5): Soggiorno indimenticabile, consigliatissimo! - Struttura splendida a due passi dal centro di Montepulciano ma immersa nella quiete della campagna. Stanze enormi, letti comodissimi, pulizia impeccabile e dotata di ogni comfort, piscina e tanto spazio verde). Proprietario gentilissimo e accogliente, ci ha persino regalato due marmellate di sua produzione.
• alice (10/5): - Posizione ottima, in pochi minuti di macchina si raggiunge il centro di Montepulciano. Proprietari gentilissimi e molto disponibili. L’appartamento aveva tutto il necessario, guardino con una vista stupenda e piscina tenuta con cura. È stata una bellissima esperienza e spero di tornare presto con la mia famiglia e amici
• Joana (6/5): A good stay near the center of montepulciano - No meio da natureza. A piscina é bonita e tem muito espaço de quintal para andar a percorrer. Tem todas as comodidades necessárias e está bem equipado. O nosso apartamento ficava no andar de cima, pelo que não tinha espaço exterior para refeições. Há que ter atenção para as pessoas que gostam de dormir até mais tarde, pois o facto de se situar junto a uma estrada principal, ouve-se muito barulho do trânsito proveniente dessa estrada.
• Cindy (10/5): Merveilleux - Tout était magnifique , l’accueil, la chambre, l’emplacement, le cadre… tout était parfait . Merci à vous Rien tout était parfait
• Girotto (10/5): -
• Simon (10/5): - Nous avons été charmé par ce séjour! L’accueil était chaleureux. Nous avons adoré l’appartement « Lune de miel ». La vue imprenable sur Montepulciano. Le terrain spacieux, et disposant d’une grande piscine.. C’était Top!!
• Kelly (9/5): Heerlijk verblijf - Heerlijk appartement, all. Er is alleen geen airco aanwezig maar er zijn ventilatoren. Parkeren bij de accommodatie is erg fijn. Op een paar minuutjes van het centrum. Het zwembad is groot genoeg. Alles Is netjes onderhouden.
• Monika (9/5): - Overall atmosphere of the place,looks and is really as in the picture.All is Tuscany-authentic: olive trees,Tuscany style,incredible view to the valley and to Montepulciano hill!! Noise from the street and bed in the living room-very uncomfortable.
• Ajay (8/5): pleasant stay, spacious apartment, jolly host, met expectations - Proximity to city lack of air conditioning or decent fan noise from road pillows too plump
• Christopher (8/5): Excellent stay location - Great location looking up to Montepulciano. Has a pool and great relaxing atmosphere. No air conditioning, although fans provided.
• Melanie (10/5): So happy we found this amazing property, so relaxing, pool is fantastic, got everything you need….. very lucky to have s - Perfect location to explore Tuscany.
• Michael (8/5): Calming - Remoteness Bit cold at night
• Cheralyn (8/5): Really lovely stay - Authentic Italian farmhouse conversion Beautiful location Location Value for money Accommodation x2 bedrooms was ideal for 3 adults and 2 children
• Tjaša (10/5): Hidden gem (estate) near Montepulciano - It has surpassed our expectations. The pictures of the estate do not reflect its true beauty. A big garden overlooking the lake in the distance on one side and Montepulciano on the other side. It has a nice swimming pool which just opened on our arrival, unfortunatelly it was yet too cold to swim. The appartment was very clean and it had a Tuscany charm. The landlord is very nice and kind. Perfect staying for families with kids as well. The location is really great to discover Val d'Orcia. Maybe an appartment in the ground floor would be even more great but then we wouldn't have a perfect view on Montepulciano from the sleeping room.
• Lusine (10/5): A place to revisit for sure!!! - Very nice, cozy place, even in winter!!! Everything is fine
• Huynh (8/5): We had a great time staying at Frateria Di San Benedetto. - The view is amazing. The decor is truly for a rustic farm house. The location is very convenient for walking to shops, vineyards and the Montepulciano old town. The car noise from the street. But the noise dies down in the evening/night.
• Ron (10/5): Great location - Great location to see Montepulciano and surrounding area! Clean and comfortable!
• Sydney (10/5): - We absolutely loved our stay! The rooms were spacious, clean, and beautiful! The grounds were impeccably unkept. It was so nice to have a pool as well to enjoy, which was also very clean and beautiful. The check in is a little unclear, but can be found a short walk past the pool and through the pear and olive trees. The owner lived in the next property over. He speaks enough English for check in, and to answer basic questions. We really enjoyed him! Very laid back and pleasant! We highly recommend this accommodation!! Thank you for everything Luca!
• Stefano (9/5): Superb - Perfect location with stunnign view on Montepulciano from one side and the valley on the other. Big house surrounded by a green garden with swimming pool, amenities for kids, gazebos and tables to eat otuside...
• Catverluc (10/5): Fabulous agriturismo - Beautiful location, fantastic wifi all over the property, wonderful swimming pool. Easy access to all the small towns nothing
• Joseph (10/5): Incredible value - A charming farmhouse in nice condition. Very helpful owners once you find them (in a separate building left of the main building). The Hotels.com site says it’s a short walk to town. Sort of. It is not really safe to walk to down as there are no sidewalks or shoulders. Driving is recommended.
• Anna (10/5): Great time in Montepulciano - Beautiful view, the house is surrounded by olive trees, very clean, fully equipped kitchen and the very nice and helpful host It is a bit noisy due location near by main road
• Andi (9/5): Superb -
• Robert (10/5): Exceptional - The view was stunning. The kitchen was well equipped and perfect for making all our meals.
• Ivette (10/5): Exceptional - Staying at a farmhouse was a dream come true. Frateria Di San Benedetto did not disappoint. The facilities were cozy, comfortable and super spacious. The views from the property are amazing. The weather outside was a bit chilly when we stayed so we did not get into the pool, but it was well maintained and inviting. The landscape was breathtaking. We would love to go back. Highly recommended! Breakfast or dinner on the premises would be a plus!
• Mariana (9/5): Lovely stay, confortable, quiet plus with an amazing view of Montepulciano! Can only recommend the accommodation! - The accommodation is comfortable and well located, the place is charming and surrounded by olive trees. The view from the rooms were amazing, we could see Montepulciano from the window. The owner is a very kind person! No complaints at all. I had a lovely stay!
• Michael (8/5): Very good -
• Peter H (10/5): - Most beautiful convenient place we have ever stayed at. We spent 8 days, enjoying Montepulciano with lots of side trips to places like Assisi, and other explorations.
• Gaurav (10/5): I’d go back in a heartbeat! - Frateria di San Benedetto feels like a beloved childhood home, a beautiful villa set amid a vineyard and olive grove. We had a set of rooms with an attic, perfect for our daughter. A comfortable kitchenette gave us the chance to try our hands at some Tuscan cooking! During the day, we took advantage of the fantastic hiking opportunities around the hotel. And our host was kind enough to drive us to Montepulciano (a lovely hilltop Tuscan village that the villa overlooks). He even drove us to the railway station the next day, and we felt his hospitality went far beyond the commercial. All in all, it’s the sort of place one can easily use as a base to explore Tuscany, and I’d go back in a heartbeat!
• Steven (10/5): - Wonderful place to stay. Very peaceful. And super helpful staff
• Maciej (3/5): Poor - Perfect for one night. Good base, comfortable bed, clean sheets and towels, good facilities. Beautiful view. Very poor for those planning a longer stay and relaxing in the garden and by the pool. You can hear the street a lot. Garden equipment damaged and neglected.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent rapport qualité prix, calme (SAUF les voisins à l’étage qui ont déplacé tous les meubles dans leur logement à 07:00 du matin 😡) et très beau cadre.
• Maureen (7/5): We enjoyed the rustic farm setting. - Panoramic setting with extensive rustic grounds and pleasant and helpful, attentive hosts once we sought them out. Orientation to amenities was not great but maybe that is because it is a working farm. The couple who slept in the upper bedroom, but not those in the bedroom on the kitchen level, awoke in the morning with multiple welts from bite by some sort of insect.
• Carrie (10/5): Perfect Tuscan agritourismo, would come back! - We loved our time in Montepulciano! This place is a little slice of Tuscan heaven. We had a two bedroom apartment with cooking facilities. The pool is fabulous. The place was busy (July) with a number of other families staying but everyone was really lovely and respectful. The views from the property are absolutely magnificent! We’d love to come back. Nothing to be honest. Maybe worth mentioning for others considering this property: You really need a car. You can walk to Montepulciano but it’s a little far and the road is busy so not ideal. There’s plenty of on-site parking. The owner doesn’t speak any English - which is our problem, but his 😝 - but we muddled through it. He had his friend help us checkin who spoke a little English. I don’t think either of these things would put me off returning - we really loved this place!
• László (10/5): Dream house for dream holiday - Beautiful garden with olive trees, super swimming pool, great panorama, nice, Cosy rural house. Very kind host. Highly recommended!
• Jernej (9/5): Superb - It was a big apartment, I was afraid that it will be too hot, because it was heat wave at the time we were there and there is no air conditioning in the apartment, but it was OK. Location of the apartment is more the 500 m above sea level the evenings and nights are pretty fresh. The celling in the apartment is also high, so it was not too hot if you keep opened windows during evenings and night it was OK. There is mosquito protection on windows. I also liked big swimming pool and big nice garden around the house. For me everything was OK. The only problem was that my wife was bitten by some bugs no one else was bitten except her (it was not mosquitos it must be something else). She claims this must come from bed or from old wardrobe closet, but I can't say that is true or not, because it happened only to her I think it must be something else.
• mehran (10/5): Don’t miss this awesome spot - We got here on the first week of July. The weather was fantastic. The place is absolutely great with everything available. We are a family of four we found the place very convenient to see Montepulciano or drive up to other places in Tuscany. Just remember for check in you don’t go to the actual residence buildings. There is no one to check you in. You need to walk down thru the olive/plum garden passed the pull to find the reception building. The reception is actually the entrance family business. Luka will give you some samples and a bottle of wine and check you in but with a limited English. He is very a sweet guy. The property has a gorgeous view with walking distances to a few restaurants. Few minutes if drive takes you to the town to a very nice supermarket almost like Whole Food.
• David (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sima (10/5): Going to Montepulciano was a last minut plan and I’m soooo glad I did it . this place is Heaven on earth. A lil gem that - I was traveling by myself but the welcoming & hospitality of Enrico & his twin brother Luca & daughter Maria made it so comfortable & enjoyable I will never forget and I’m going back with family in may .
• Fabrizio (10/5): - Beautiful place to stay, just below the historical village! We really end the stay and all the area around!
• cliff70 (8/5): Beautiful little place - This place is easy to find on the main road into Montepulciano, which unfortunately makes it a bit noisy. We had the upstairs 2 bed apartment which was beautiful, well equipped (although no kettle), had that old Tuscan charm and was exceptionally clean. The host was lovely, although he spoke little English, we managed to understand each other. The pool area is well kept and the olive grove gave it that little extra bit of Italy. As for the road, it does get busy and is quite difficult to walk from the apartment into town, especially at night. I’d recommend driving to the cathedral at the bottom of the hill and walking in. Tip: ask for a ground floor apartment at the back of the property so you can enjoy the outside space and it’s quieter.
• Maiara (10/5): Vale muito a pena! - A Fratteria é um chalé numa cidade muito charmoso! Tem uma vista linda e ótima estrutura. Os proprietários são super simpáticos, no entanto, não falavam bem inglês. Esse foi o único ponto de incômodo. Do resto, foi uma agradável experiência!
• Travel570589 (10/5): An incredible find - A great private separate apartment on a gorgeous piece of land. We did not have a reservation, but the owner was so very accommodating to us...even though we only want to stay one night. I would stay here again if ever in the area..had a kitchen and was clean and comfortable. The owner was fantastic and so friendly. Thanks for a great stay!!
• beckyc765 (10/5): So relaxing and breathtaking views - We spend 3 wonderful nights here and loved every minute of it. The views from our bedroom and living space was of the rolling hills and the stunning landscaped area. The host Luca, who spoke very little English-but enough to help us. We arrived at the train station on the opposite side of Montepulicano from his villa, on a Sunday evening-when there is no bus service! We were basically stranded. He came and picked us up:)) What an absolute life saver he was, as it was a 20 minute ride to get us. Still not sure where we got off the train at:( But we were so thankful he responded to our cry for help. He showed us our room, how everything worked, where the bikes were, the pool, how the washer/dryer worked, gave us wine -the best bottle we ever had!! We felt he bent over backwards for us, and we so appreciated it. We could walk to a small section of town for restaurants, coffee, breakfast, etc. The bus stop was a very short walk to the other side of the property, so getting around was not hard. One night we were walking back to the property, and he saw us, so he stopped to give us a ride. Super sweet and caring couple. The grounds are very well maintained with beauty plants, blooming flowers, lavender bushes surrounding the back, olive trees, and views to die for. One morning we woke up looked out of the window and we were above the clouds-AMAZING:)) The kitchen was equipped with everything needed, coffee included. The bed was extremely comfortable, shower had plenty of hot water, clean towels. We had not one complaint. The day of check out the office was closed, but Luca had told us that the day before, and he also said to check out whenever we were ready- no time rush- Fabulous!! Perfect spot for relaxing but also not so far from getting around as we traveling by train and bus. We will definitely be back. Also, we purchased Olive Oil from him, and it is the best. Has aroma and flavor!!
• 891hillarys (10/5): Wonderful accommodation in Montepulciano - beautifully maintained grounds - I spent a long time researching a good location in Montepulciano and the Frateria Di San Benedetto was the best I could find. We were a party of three and had a two bedroom apartment with two bathrooms. When you arrive here, the office is the first drive and then you go around to the actual apartments (which are the second drive). Our hosts speak a little English and a little French so we were ok and give us some jams and a bottle of wine as a welcome. The grounds of the Frateria Di San Benedetto are spectacular and we dinned out every night over looking the valley across from Montepulciano. It was a good location to travel around the area and the only thing to be aware of is the coming out of the drive way you come onto a relatively busy road but we had no problems getting in and out. The pool is very well kept and you can swim whenever you want. Would definitely come back and stay here - we loved Montepulciano and staying at Frateria Di San Benedetto made the whole experience fabulous.
• sandramT629AA (10/5): Amazing stay in Tuscany - We wanted to visit Tuscany and get a taste of the local flavours. This place proved to be the perfect choice. The accomodation is situated in a nice orchard full of olive trees, lavander and hortensia. The views of the Tuscan hills are awsome and the staff is very welcoming. It is great to relax by the pool after a day of visiting Montepulciano. The hotel does not offer restaurant facilities but you can cook inside because you have every cutlery and crockery necessary. Alternatively, the place is full of wineries and family-run restaurants to enjoy Tuscan food.
• helenam409 (8/5): Wonderful place to stay - We stayed for a week at this villa. When you arrived they spoke very broken English but gave us lovely jam and a bottle of wine . We had cooler weather so didn't use the pool as we should of the pool was lovely great deck chairs . It was so close to so many day trips we had so much fun here Beautiful will try to return .
• NZTraveller20 (8/5): Lovely place - Loved our stay here. The family speak limited English but got by with a bit of French added in the mix We stayed in a lovely self contained unit in the lower part of the garden amongst the olive trees which had all we needed and heaps of space and light. Complimentary wine and jam was also delivered to our door. The wifi is a bit slow sometimes but a minor issue when you consider everything else. Loved Montepulciano compared to other places in Tuscany as it was less touristy.
• Triptime17 (10/5): Lovely! - We had a lovely stay here with our two children. The owners are friendly and warm and keen to help despite limited English - our fault for not speaking Italian! The gardens are beautiful with stunning views and a clean and good sized pool. We stayed in a two bedroom apartment which was immaculate and decorated tastefully. There is some noise from the road which disturbed me on the first night but after our second day lounging by the pool I was so relaxed that I didn't notice it again!
• Quarterback (10/5): Perfect views, great pool - We just returned from our great trip in Montepulciano. We stayed one week in Frateria di San Benedetto and enjoyed every moment. Our children (6 and 9 years) practically lived in the pool. The facility was fully booked for the whole week but other travellers were only staying for a couple of nights and we practically had the pool for ourselves. We enjoy cooking and used every aspect of the facility to the max (incl. outside barbeque and four different dining areas around the yard). The facility is very well kept and the pool was amazingly clean. We stayed in one of the big apartments on the ground floor. That was optimal with children with easy access to garden and dining areas. The apartments on the first floor probably offer great views but did not have own dining areas outside. Despite all the great things we would not recommend the facility for very light sleepers - noises carry between floors (steps and screeching from upstairs and probably something vice versa) and the nearby road produces some noise. However we didn't mind this at all.
• Plumberandy (8/5): Very nice, clean - A beautiful place to stay. It's clean and although it's on a Main Street very close to Montepulciano all the rooms are on the back side so it's actually very quiet at night. Great views of the city as you relax at the tables set up around the property. Marco, the owner, doesn't speak a lot of English but he knows enough to be helpful. Very friendly. Adequately furnished for a few days stay and centrally located enough for nice day trips.
• FancyFriday (10/5): Well-furnished apartment great for a long stay. - My husband and I drove through Tuscany and spent one night in Montepulciano at this agriturismo and it was a very comfortable stay in the one-bedroom apartment. The kitchen had lots of pots, pans, dishes, utensils--everything you would need to make all your meals. The apartment was large with a beautiful view of the fields, and lots of space for outdoor activities. The reception is just down the street a little bit, and I think that most visitors would need a vehicle to get around Montepulciano and the other areas since this farmhouse is quite outside of the town. I would suggest this place to anyone looking for a long stay in/around Montepulciano, but I would also recommend to take plenty of toiletries (soap, shampoo, etc.).
• beate_9 (10/5): Fantastic - We spent five days in apartment la mangiatoia - a huge apartment in a wonderful location, much more beautiful than on the pictures. The view from the garden is magnificent, the apartment itself is really beautifully designed. And the jam they make on the farm is really tasty. The only little drawback is that it is a 45 minutes walk to Montepulciano if you take the dirt road - 20 minutes if you risk your life walking on the street. We preferred the 45 minutes, it's a really nice walk through wineyards. We will highly recommend this place.
• scruffa (10/5): The highlight of our honeymoon - This little place was amazing. Situated in an orchard the old stone accomodation was the perfect setting for a honeymoon. The rooms were huge and very comfortable and the view looking up at the town was very Tuscan. Nothing better than at the end of the day sitting outside eating the local proscuitto, cheeses and bread while sipping on a glass of the Nobile reds. Beautiful. The only downside was that we could hear everything the neighbours were saying next door or this might have been because Itaians talk loudly :) either way great stay.
• hersnider (10/5): You can't go wrong here. - We have stayed at this property many times in the last few years both alone and with friends. The apartments are comfortable, clean, beautiful and well managed. The pool is always clean and the view is excellent. It is right on the main road just south of Montepulciano on the way to Chianciano Terme. Parking is handy in a private, secure area. Not only that the owner's jam is good. Wi Fi internet is provided free. It is an excellent value.
• noscire (10/5): Amazing - Stayed two nights and wish we stayed longer, Stayed in separate house with full kitchen and separate bedroom . Absolutely beautiful and fully equipped .Just minutes to Montepulciano on an olive orchard . Best room we stayed in on our Italian trip. Highly recommend
• kek17 (10/5): Fabulous - We stayed here for 4 nights in the "La Mangiatoia" apartment. It was very clean and nicely furnished, with a well stocked kitchen and extremely comfortable king beds. The buildings are surrounded by beautiful trees and plants, including a border of lavender that wafts through the air as you walk around the property admiring the stunning views. Huge fields of fruit trees extend behind the agriturismo, where the owners grow the fruit for their homemade jams. The location is just off one of the main roads very close to the city center of Montepulciano, and providing easy access to the surrounding area of the Val d'Orcia. There's a great Conad supermarket 5 minutes away where you can get all you need for breakfast or other meals in the apartment.
