Guest Reviews

• Laura (8/5): -
• LEI (10/5): -
• Yuliya (8/5): Very welcoming host, nice views - Beautiful view, very well maintained Steep road
• Jeff (10/5): Wonderful stay in a beautiful town! - The host Annalisa and her son Duccio were so nice and helpful with driving directions, restaurant reservations and more! We had all four rooms and they were all unique and lovely. Clean, beautiful and the breakfasts were beautifully delivered and delicious! Duccio even escorted us out of the town when we departed, as the roads can be tricky, so rather than just explaining the directions, he jumped in his car and said…Andiamo!!
• LB (10/5): Wonderful and relaxing - All was really good! Place wonderful and relaxing; nice location and really nice host. Breakfast is a must have outside on the garden N/A
• Mengyuan (10/5): -
• Angela (9/5): -
• Veronica Andrea (10/5): Excelente - Increíble lugar! Todo impecable. Cada detalle cuidado. No quedó nada librado al azar. Nos costó llegar pese a las indicaciones detalladas que nos mandaron con anticipación. Pero llamamos y nos vinieron a buscar. Destaco la atención de Ducco y Analisa. El desayuno perfecto! Maravillosa estadía. No hay nada que no nos haya gustado
• Rodrigo (10/5): A very pleasant stay in Montalcino - Everything was great. Annalisa and Duccio were very kind and always available to help or to give advices of what to do in the city. The breakfast was really good too.
• Eivind (10/5): - A fantastic B&B in Montalcino. Very peaceful, with a fantastic garden. Breakfast was served on the room's own patio in the beautiful garden. Duccio and his mama gave us a wonderful welcome and did everything they could to make our stay as good as possible. Thank you for having us. We will be happy to return.
• Inês (10/5): - This was the highlight of two weeks of travel in Italy. This stay couldn’t have been better! The setting is wonderful, with a beautiful garden where you can have breakfast with the sounds of singing birds. Duccio and Annalisa were the best hosts we could wish for, giving great recommendations of places to visit/eat not only in montalcino but also around the region. Highly recommend!
• Pasta (9/5): -
• Rooh (10/5): Wish we could have stayed longer. - EVERYTHING: the gorgeous surroundings, the spacious and comfortable apartment, the fantastic owners (helpful beyond expectation) and staff, their ability to communicate in perfect English (because our Italian is terrible), the delicious breakfast in the garden, the wonderful local suggestions, the flowers everywhere, the QUIET at night, the adorable neighbors gardening in their yard, the location close enough to walk to everything but just far enough from everything to feel like a vacation... what's not to love? Can't think of one thing. Can't think of half of one thing. Can't even make anything up. It was absolutely perfect.
• Mario (10/5): -
• Enismar (10/5): - A edificação é linda e charmosa. A proprietária Dida é muito simpática, deixando tão a vontade como se estivesse na minha casa.
• Janna (10/5): Strongly recommend! - Everything was super !!! There was nothing not to be NOT like !
• Teozeta78 (9/5): - Struttura molto bella e curata. Stanza molto grande e pulita. Posizione ottima praticamente in centro. Comodo il parcheggio privato, cosa da non sottovalutare a Montalcino. Dopo la prenotazione ti mandano un messaggio per chiederti se gradisci ricevere via mail le indicazioni per raggiungerli e una lista di ristoranti e locali consigliati. È davvero ben fatta e in particolare, per raggiungere la struttura, consiglio di seguire le indicazioni che forniscono loro perché, oltre ad essere semplici, ti fanno evitare passaggi per strade strette del centro che invece ti indicherebbe il navigatore. I gestori sono cordiali e molto disponibili e ci hanno dato molte informazioni utili e interessanti senza mai essere invadenti. Veramente bravi. Buona la colazione con prodotti di qualità. Certamente da consigliare per visitare Montalcino e tutta la Val d'Orcia.
• Rosa (9/5): -
• Sofia (10/5): Tuscan Dream - Duccio was so nice, his recommendations made all the difference in our stay. The apartment and view were beautiful… honestly the best stay in my whole trip around Italy.
• Ugo (9/5): -
• Julia (10/5): -
• Alper (8/5): - Beğenmediklerimiz dışında her şey iyiydi Yatak hiç rahat değildi, odanın ses izolasyonu iyi değildi
• Toby (10/5): Anyone that chooses this quaint accommodation will be very pleased. - Porta Castellana was in a perfect location! It is beautiful and has great views. Our host, Annalisa was so welcoming and helpful. She met us in town because we got a little lost and guided us to her property. She also gave wonderful recommendations of places to eat and visit. The continental breakfast which was included was presented so charmingly and was delicious. We will definitely come back and stay here on our next trip to Montalcino!
• Jacqueline (10/5): The apartment was lovely and comfortable with all that we needed. We enjoyed our stay and would love to return someday. - I can’t stress how lovely this spot is. Annalise is a wonderfully helpful host. Her breakfasts were very good, especially the coffee and fruit! She helped us plan our day with great suggestions and even made reservations for wine tasting for us. Her son Duccio was very helpful with the directions and helping us when we took a wrong turn. He also made some great restaurant recommendations. The very narrow steep roads but Duccio was there to help guide us! (FYI: Smaller the car the better!)
• Antonín (9/5): -
• Andre (10/5): - The view from the yard is outstanding!
• Celiro Filho (10/5): - Perto do centro da cidade . Fomos super bem recebidos. Local agradável. Café da manhã servido na varanda.
• Robert (10/5): -
• Leo (10/5): Ideal! - O quarto e a propriedade, assim como a equipe e família que nos atende, superaram positivamente as nossas expectativas - recomendamos a todos!
• carin (10/5): Geweldige b&b middenin het dorp met een prachtige tuin, lekker ontbijt en vriendelijk personeel. - B&b was in het dorp, fijn op loopafstand van restaurants. Het is er heel groen met een prachtig uitzicht. Hele rusige plek. Ontbijt in de tuin. Alles was keurig en goed verzorgd
• Timothy (10/5): A delighteful stay in one of the world’s most beautiful cities. - A beautiful property in an extraordinary location. The staff were welcoming, remarkably gracious, and helpful.
• cathie (10/5): - Serine B&B in a very quiet area. The host sent specific driving instructions with pictures that was extremely helpful as we drove there in the night.
• Susan (10/5): AMAZING! - Wow! We were very impressed with our stay at Porta Castellana. They were kind enough to let us check-in early which was a great way to start our visit to Montalcino. Duccio and Dida were very welcoming and took the time to inform us of local attractions including the amazing restaurants etc The room was clean and extremely comfortable and their linens and towels were monogrammed to boot. The grounds were lovely and they served breakfast outside. It was delicious and plentiful with an assortment of pastries, fruit, yogurt and savoury items. We will definitely return. Word for the wise, if your GPS sends you up a dirt road I would suggest not taking it and following the main road into town.
• Phil (10/5): - We loved everything about Porta Castellana. Beautiful property, delicious breakfast & easy parking. Annalisa & Duccio were exceptionally helpful with local knowledge of where to dine, buy the freshest local pecorino & try Brunello.
• Bronislava (9/5): - Vänlig bemötande och hjälp med alla frågor.
• Scott (10/5): - Dida was an amazing host! Her and her family took great care of us and their property/rooms were perfect, open, quiet and beautiful! She makes a personalized breakfast everyday at your timing convenience and provides many great local suggestions!
• canseco (10/5): Un sitio precioso!! - Montalcino es un pueblecito monísimo con un ambiente artesanal y muy familiar. El alojamiento era precioso. Tenía un jardín súper cuidado desde el que poder contemplar el paisaje y simplemente disfrutar de la naturaleza. Está todo muy cuidado y tienen mucho detalle. Nos atendió Duccio y fue muy amable con nosotros. Nos dieron indicaciones del pueblo y nos recomendaron cosas que hacer y donde comer. Por la mañana, nos trajeron el desayuno a la habitación. También estaba lloviendo y nos dejaron paraguas!! Sin duda, repetiría. Es un sitio que tiene encanto :)
• Shailender (9/5): -
• Diane (10/5): - We absolutely LOVED our stay! The entire property is so lovely and charming. Our room was beautiful and clean, the bed was comfortable, the breakfast was delicious and the proprietor was a joy to work with. I highly recommend staying there.
• andrew (10/5): A very welcoming stay, host was excellent - Property was beautiful, breakfast under the patio was excellent. Rooms were nice and bed made daily.
• Mike (8/5): -
• Matteo (10/5): -
• Jeff (10/5): A gem of a place. Annalisa and her staff couldn’t be more gracious and wonderful. - A gem of a place. Annalisa and her staff couldn’t be more gracious and wonderful.
• Aimee (10/5): Annalisa and Duccio were so helpful and attentive that this was the highlight of our time in Italy! - Stunning location Nothing
• KUMI (10/5): Excellent owner with superb hospitality and many precious recommendations. - We liked very much the breakfast served in a beautiful garden terrace. Nothing really.
• Kristina (10/5): - Everything was incredible, cleanliness was on point, the terrace was amazing, breakfast was delicious. And we had the most amazing hosts, Duccio and his mom were so welcoming and friendly, we felt just like at home! We will be back someday for sure! All the best from Milos and Kristina!
• Melanie (7/5): Schön, aber Preis-Leistungsverhältnis unausgeglichen! - Lage ist schön ruhig. Die Inhaberin ist freundlich. Parkplatz inbegriffen. Die Dame, die das Frühstück reserviert, hat weder gelächelt noch war sie freundlich. Das Frühstück wurde uns mit einer derart schlechten Laune serviert-so möchte man nicht in den Tag starten. Auch das Frühstück an sich, ist sehr minimal gehalten. Zwei Scheiben dünnes Baguette. Eine kleine Schale Obst für zwei Personen, zwei dünne Scheiben Schinken, Saft aus dem Tetrapak. Wirklich Schade.... Gerade auch weil die Toskana viele regionale und kulinarische Köstlichkeiten bietet. Preis für zwei Personen und zwei Nächte 500,-€ finden wir für diese Unterkunft mit allen vorgenannten Anmerkungen daher nicht angemessen.
• George (10/5): - Such an unique and wonderful place. The owners are lovely and very welcoming. Hope to be back there again.
• leanne (10/5): -
• Thomas (10/5): - Amazing stay, our host Annalisa was the best as well as her son Duccio in every capacity. Duccio helped us navigate the area & suggested some excellent restaurants. Not only did Annalisa give us great places to eat, she went out of her way to set up an incredible day of wine tasting for my wife & I, we had the best time. Also loved our room, very clean. Breakfast was served every morning at a beautiful outdoor location near our room, different delicious selections every morning. Look forward to going back!!!
• Nicholas (10/5): Perfetto! Can’t wait to go back - The property was beautiful, right on the edge of town. Duccio and the staff could not made our stay any better than it was. Nothing
• Maria (10/5): A beautiful Tuscany experience! - The location is very convenient. The design and decorations are out of a Tuscany painting. Breakfast is served in the garden under a Gazebo. There is parking at the facility. There are mosquitoes (bring repellent).
• Jane (9/5): Superb -
• Mihai-alexandru (10/5): Exceptional -
• Patricia (10/5): Exceptional - The location and setting of the room, was absolutely incredible! Ane the room just delightful!
• Seth (10/5): Beauty and comfort in Montalcino - Montalcino is such a beautiful town. Porta Catellena is just a few minutes walk from everywhere. Super comfortable room with a memory foam mattress. Lovely breakfast served on the patio. Super helpful hosts. Be prepared to walk up the hill. Nothing.
• Raquel (9/5): Beautiful spot!! - Great location! Dulcio was very friendly!! Love everything!!
• Natalie (10/5): Exceptional - A garden gem in Montalcino. Gracious hosts, comfortable rooms and gorgeous garden setting. Steps away from the city center. The breakfast each morning was idyllic. Thank you for the BEST time!
• Rowe (10/5): Lovely stay at Porta Castellana with extra special service and breakfast! Welcoming, friendly, comfortable and clean. Wi - Everything, perfect B&B for my first time in Europe. Nada
• Jennifer (9/5): Lovely stay in the heart of the village - Location, hosts very friendly and helpful , lovely breakfast in the garden
• Carol (10/5): Fabulous property set in a well loved garden setting. Superb! - Superb breakfast in an excellent location. Both Annalisa and Duccio were wonderful hosts. Helpful and genuinely interested in our wellbeing during our visit. It was perfect! We loved everything.
• Anna (10/5): We had a wonderful time staying at this b&b. The location is beautiful and the hosts are very kind. - We had a wonderful time staying at this b&b. Duccio was incredibly helpful and kind, he gave us lots of recommendations that ended up being fabulous. We ended up upgrading to the lofted room because the smaller room was a bit too small for us and it worked out perfectly because it had a fireplace and we loved getting to have a fire at the end of the night. The breakfasts were delicious. Overall, it really felt like a wonderful getaway and we couldn't recommend this spot more. Nothing, everything was wonderful.
• Lisa (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic accomodation in a stunning garden setting. Wonderful hosts and a lovely al fresco breakfast. Duccio was so friendly and helpful and we absolutely loved our stay. Our only regret is not staying longer. Grazie mille!
• Denize V C (10/5): Atendimento simpariye acolhedor - Foi uma agradável estadia, bem no centro de Montalcino, quarto e banheiro amplos, roupas de cama e banho de boa qualidade e limpas. A recepção foi muito calorosa feita pela anfitriã Sra Annalisa e seu filho Ducho ambos muito simpáticos e educados que nos atenderam muito bem. O café da manhã é servido no quarto na hora que vc solicitar, com variedade de frutas, pães, suco e café, pedimos ovos medidos e fomos prontamente atendidos. Se tivesse mais calor poderiamos ter tomado café no jardim. Enfim é um ótimo lugar para se hospedar na Toscana com várias opções de restaurantes e adegas.
• David (10/5): Exceptional - It was a very nice place Very beautiful and quiet quick walk to town or dinner breakfast could even be added if you wanted. We Chose to cook our own breakfast after shopping at the coop in town Wi-Fi was very good and fast All was great
• Nancy (7/5): Great location for tasting wine! - The breakfast was reasonable and delicious. It fit our needs for our morning. The directions to the place were very helpful. They let us check in early. The location is really convenient for walking to the center, and if you have a car, they have parking. Beautiful grounds and outdoor space. The unit had a very loud refrigerator, so much so that we had to unplug it so that we didn't hear it at night. The owners knew of the situation before hand and didn't warn us about it and didn't apologize up front or compensate us for the noise. When we checked out, we found out that they were working on the issue. The room layout is a little strange but we knew that when we booked the unit.
• Guido (10/5): - Very supportive team, great breakfast. A bit difficult to get there by car. We enjoyed our stay!
• Janine (10/5): Magnifico. Ideal respite from the bigger cities. Viva Brunello!! - Bellissima! Stepping back in time from the states: Tranquility/history/Accommodating & gracious hospitality Loved Everything!!
• Elizabeth (10/5): The BEST B&B, the best location, the best host! - Like is not a strong enough word. We loved everything about the property! From the host to the room, it was the most perfect stay one could have asked for. Breakfast was fantastic, the room was beautiful and clean, location is fantastic! Dida, the host, gives the best recommendations. I hated leaving. Miss it already. We LOVED everything!
• Ramesh (10/5): Exceptional -
• Assaf (10/5): Perfect stay, perfect hosts. - The breakfast was great and rich, and the highlight was the hosts who helped us with everything we needed. Walking distance to any of the city points of interest.
• Veronica (9/5): Superb - We enjoyed our stay at Porta Castellana B&B. Delicious breakfast in the garden. Walkable to Montalcino main square and good restaurants and wine shops. You have to drive on narrow streets to get to the B&b by car.
• John (9/5): Great location for seeing Tuscany. Decent value. Would stay again. - Great location. Hostess and her son were exceptional at assisting and providing recommendations for the area. Never hesitated to help guests out. Outdoor space was great. Only slight negative was room a bit tired.
• John (10/5): Wonderful accomplishments and hospitality with Tuscan views. - Great location close to shops and restaurants. Unit could be used as an apt or BB as we did. Montalcino close to all the great Tuscany towns and vineyards. The lanes into the accommodation are narrow and steep but quite manageable. Dead gave excellent directions and v good parking on site.
• James (10/5): What a Magical and Amazing place with some of the best views, restaurants and activities! - Beautiful property and felt like royalty. Service top notch and hosts helped with reservations and all questions! The drive into the property is challenging but what an adventure! I loved it. You do need a small car if driving.
• John (9/5): A wonderful and welcoming place to base your exploration of Montalcino and the surrounding area. - This was our second stay at Porta Castellana. We stayed here in 2019 and vowed to come back. The location is idyllic, Annalisa is the perfect host. Breakfast in the garden is a perfect way to start the day - though it's difficult to want to not want to linger for hours. Highly recommend. Well, we could have stayed longer :-)
• Peter (10/5): - Annalisa and Doocho were the best possible hosts. They are caring and generous, their property is magnificent. Please stay there, it's GREAT.
• Marko (10/5): Exceptional -
• Caroline (10/5): Beautiful and convenient location, excellent breakfast, very kind host. - Host was very kind and accommodated us last minute for a spontaneous decision to stay overnight in Montepulciano. The breakfast on the beautiful terrace was one of the highlights of the trip. The apartment itself was beautifully renovated, very clean and comfortable. Location was perfect for walking into the centre of town as well as accessing the countryside.
• Michaela (10/5): Exceptional -
• Janis (10/5): Absolutely beautiful! -
• Tsang (10/5): A highlight of our trip and we look forward to going back - The apartment we have is spacious and comfortable. Breakfast in the little garden with two lovely cats is wonderful! Dida and her son are welcoming and thoughtful!
• David (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful and welcoming facility. Duccio was very accommodating and provided some great recommendations. Location was spectacular. Breakfast each morning was incredible. We very much enjoyed our stay, and will certainly be back!
• Marie (8/5): Didi was wonderful very helpful with getting us there as the gps doesn’t quite get you there - The setting was lovely The breakfast and the staff were very accommodating We booked for a week and didn’t realize the room was so small
• Frank (9/5): Beautiful Gardens, wonderful breakfast! - Beautiful location, close to the Old City, but some stair climbing to get there. Lovely Breakfast delivered to our room so we could enjoy it outside on our little private Terrace. Very friendly Owner and great Parking. Very good directions given to us, but something worth mentioning the roads are very narrow.
• Travis (10/5): Their recommendations made our visit perfect! - Such an amazing place to stay. Absolute 10/10! No matter what you're interested in doing in the area, the hosts are able to make specific recommendations to make sure your trip is exactly what you're hoping for. The winery recommendations were extremely helpful because there are so many to choose from. Everything is clean, comfortable, up to date, and simply beautiful.
• Marie (10/5): Portacastellano had the upmost in Italian charm, comfort and hospitality - beautiful place & beautiful people! - Lovely grounds and garden; beautifully decorated room with exposed brick, comfortable bed, and crisp monogrammed sheets; quiet private location, yet just a short walk to the town center. Delicious breakfast served in the garden . . . Annalisa and her son were welcoming and helpful with recommendations for area sites and restaurants. Loved everything about it!
• Jacob (10/5): Exceptional - Annalisa and the team at Porta Castellana made our stay in Montalcino so enjoyable! Their property is absolutely beautiful and we truly felt we were staying as a guest of the family, not a guest of generic B&B. Breakfast each morning on their terrace was a great start to each morning and we thoroughly enjoyed their recommendations on dinner restaurants during our stay. I would recommend this B&B to anyone traveling to Montalcino and look forward to the next time we can stay on the property. While Annalisa and her team did provide clear instructions on how to get to the property, I would recommend arriving during the day if you are driving. The roads were very difficult to navigate in the dark, even with the helpful photos.
• Vincent (10/5): Highly recommended! - Great rooms, great staff, and great location & breakfast. The beds and linens were very clean and crisp. The Wi-Fi was strong and consistent. Everything was perfect. We were even able to park our rental car right by the room. I stayed with my wife in December of 2023 for New Years Eve. The proprietors are family based, very nice and very helpful. The weather was great while we were there, celebrations in the central piazza were fun and even though we arrived without a restaurant reservation with some tips from the owners were able to find a table and eat dinner out. Based upon the cleanliness and location alone I would stay there again but the ownership and assistance put it all over the top. Highly recommended! Hope to visit again one day.
• Pamla (10/5): Exceptional -
• Charles (10/5): Exceptional - Great location just a short walk to the main town square. Beautiful garden, lovely breakfast, free parking. Owners are very helpful with navigating the town. The accomodations were extremely spacious.
• Anonymous (10/5): Wonderful find…….a special place indeed! - Outstanding manicured property! Lovely room with breakfast served outside on the patio if you like. Hostess was so helpful with advice on what to see and where to eat!
• Vicente (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lais (10/5): Perfect stay!! Loved it - Annaelisa is a special person! She takes care of everything during your stay. Gave us a lot of nice tips from the city and surroundings. Porta Castellana is very well located in the city, 5 min walking you are inside Montalcino. The room we stayed wasn’t too big, but we can accomodate ourselves properly, it has a good space for lugagge. Unfortunately I twisted my ankle during the stay, but Annaelisa and her staff helped a lot, bringing me ice! :) I would definately return. Recommend this place! I have a suggestion for breakfast, they prepared the table for breakfast in front of our room, with a lot of varieties. And there was somethings that we didin’t eat. So, to save waste, I think it will be nice if they prepared like a “menu” and the guests choose what to eat.
• Tammye (10/5): A very nice place to stay. - The room was spacious and very comfortable. The breakfast was great. The hostess was friendly and helpful with tips about the town and area. We could walk into Montalcino and only had a short drive to wine tasting vineyards. Because the property is within the walls of the old town, driving in and out on narrow, old, one-way roads can be tricky.
• Darlene (10/5): Wonderful stay. - Everything. The grounds and landscape. The beds & pillows were very comfortable. They made breakfast to your order. AnnaLisa was most helpful with anything I needed especially coming to the location of my car to guide me to the B&B since the GPS takes you down streets that cars are not allowed.
• Terence (10/5): Lovely location, wonderful staff, the owner is just amazing so helpful and can’t find enoyfor the guest. - Beautiful setting, lovely apartment 10 minutes from centre. N/A
• Elaine (10/5): A great place - Annalise and Massimo were superb. They were kind thoughtful and most knowledgeable. These two went above and beyond. Our next trip will definitely be at Porta Castellana!!!
• John (10/5): My wife was very sick with flu so we didn’t get to enjoy Montalcino sights. We did get to experience Annalisa’s beautifu - The apartment was very comfortable & cozy and allowed us a very relaxing stay. It was very quiet & peaceful with only the church bells heard in the distance . It was close enough to village Centre to walk even though there were some steep climbs. All in All, it was excellent. We highly recommend Annalisa’s wonderful B&B There was only 1 drinking glass & 1 coffee cup. But really no problems
• Matei (9/5): Superb -
