Guest Reviews

• Marissa (10/5): La Corte Segreta is located inside the walls with easy parking. The space was great for our purpose and Marco was helpfu - Inside the walls with easy parking nearby, great location. Room was well-furnished and Marco was very helpful in giving recommendations for tours, places to eat, etc. Nothing. All was great.
• Daniela (10/5): Unbedingt empfehlenswert - Sehr schicke Austattung und bsd. Architektur (wir hatten die Suite gebucht) mit direktem Zugang zu eigenem kleinen privaten Garten mit toller Aussicht auf die Umgebung! -
• Hazel (10/5): Beautiful suite in heart of town - The suite is beautiful and the location perfect.
• Centorame (10/5): - La struttura è stata essenziale,per le due notti trascorse a Montepulciano, molto carina con un bel giardino che purtroppo non abbiamo potuto vivere per via del tempo un po' bruttino, Marco padrone di casa fantastico, grazie per averci fatto sentire accolti e per averci consigliato quel ristorante veramente eccezionale....lo consiglio a tutti....poi veramente a due passi dal corso principale 😍

• Elisa (9/5): -
• Marco (10/5): Top -
• Luca (10/5): Relax, comfort e un vero e proprio tuffo nella storia! - Struttura accogliente e con un’atmosfera incantevole. Situata nel cuore di Montepulciano a pochi passi dal Caffè Storico Poliziano è un punto comodo per raggiungere a piedi ogni punto del borgo! Pulizia impeccabile e dotata di ogni comfort. Il Personale è Gentilissimo e disponibile per qualsiasi Richiesta!!! Davvero meraviglioso!
• Alessia (7/5): -
• Paola (8/5): - Struttura in pieno centro. Molto pulita. I proprietari sono stati gentilissimi ed accoglienti.
• Alessandro (9/5): -
• emanuel fabio (9/5): Abbiamo soggiornato per una sola notte ma ne è valsa la pena. - Tutto perfetto Nulla
• Matteo (7/5): Soggiorno in una struttura molto caratteristica, curata e con una vista su valle che rende l’esperienza fantastica! - Carattestica, vista su giardino curato e su valle, situata in pieno centro e con un Host (Marco) super gentile ed accogliente! Cattivo odore proveniente dal bagno, quando si entrava in camera lo si avvertiva in maniera molto forte, assenza di acqua naturale a disposizione degli ospiti.
• Marco (9/5): -
• Alessandra (10/5): -
• Linda (10/5): Spacious home - Location was very central and easy to get to from the bus station.! Very good communication with the owners and we were able to check in early. Great recommendations in their little booklet - we did a wine tasting and hired e-bikes. The loft was very spacious and had a fantastic view. Plates and cutlery needed a clean but everything else was super clean.
• Luana (10/5): - Struttura fantastica situata in centro, con parcheggio a 2 passi. La Suite Deluxe una meraviglia, valorizzata ancor di più da un arredamento sobrio ma ben curato, ampi spazi e cabina doccia eccezionale! Marco ci ha accolti all'arrivo solare e cordiale, ci ha subito fornito indicazioni utili per il nostro soggiorno a Montepulciano con preziosi consigli che abbiamo seguito, rendendo il nostro weekend davvero indimenticabile. Consigliatissimo!!
• Paolo (7/5): -

• Andrew (10/5): -
• Macyat (9/5): - Die Lage des Zimmers war sehr gut, da wir die Sprachschule besuchten und nur 3 Minuten zur Schule gehen mussten. Marco war sehr zuvorkommend und hatte uns Stadtplan und viele Informationen schon vor unserer Ankunft zukommen lassen. Die Parkplatzsituation ist etwas schwierig in Montepulciano, wir hatten jedoch durch den Gastgeber gute Tipps erhalten. Leider war es auch etwas anstrengend das Gepäck in die Unterkunft zu bringen. Super fanden wir, dass wir mit Codes ins Haus und ins Zimmer kamen. Brauchten uns keine Sorgen um den Schlüssel zu machen. Das Zimmer und das Bad waren entzückend dekoriert. Wir fanden es etwas schade, dass von unserem Zimmer zwar einen schönen Blick in den "corte segreto"hatten, jedoch nicht hinausgehen konnten, da das große Fenster, welches zum Garten führte, nicht zu öffnen war. Im Herbst nicht so ein großes Problem, im Sommer sicher eher.
• Laura Aurora (10/5): - La decoración es increíble y la bienvenida insuperable,descalzo y con una copa de vino, que más se puede pedir?. Me encantaría vivir aquí, además,el propietario súper atento a cualquier cosa que necesites, hasta nos hizo de taxi, increíble.realmente insuperable
• Joe (10/5): Satisfied all expectations - Perfect location. Excellent accommodations. Very clean. Great bathroom. Marco was an excellent host— he was always promptly available if I needed anything
• Paula (10/5): - Perfect location to enjoy the town and many wineries. Clean and everything you need plus a beautiful view of the sunrise every morning.
• Vittoria (9/5): -
• SOLINVICTUS (8/5): CENTRAL LOCATION. PLAN ADDITIONAL PARKING EXPENSE. - WELL POSITIONED IN THE CENTER OF MONTEPULCIANO SOME NOISY NEIGHBOURS UPSTAIRS. AS USUAL IN ITALIAN OLD TOWN LOCATIONS PEDESTRIAN ACCESS WITH NEARBY TOLL PARKING. COUNT 20€ PER DAY OFF SEASON. 100% ON LINE REGISTRATION/CHECK IN/PAYMENT: MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GOOD PHONE CONNECTION AND WHAT'S APP.WHEN YOU ARRIVE ..!
• Wilma (6/5): Great location. - Position excellent. Comfortable bed. Right in the centre of village. Owner not available when we arrived. Did send the door codes after second or third phone call but I hadn't found it. Eventually arrived after 45 mins. Pleasant person. No cups for real or coffee only a kettle.
• Dawid (10/5): Mega - Porzadek Nic, wszystko git
• marco (10/5): -
• Steven (8/5): Good location. Clean. - More storage space for clothes
• Stephenson (7/5): Great for a one night stay.but would have been nice to be given breakfast across the road that they own. - Great location It says BB but you didnt get breakfast.
• Phebe (10/5): Loved our stay here in Montepulciano. Our host was incredibly helpful - Very comfortable, great view and amazing location Nothing!
• Cristiano (7/5): Assistenza via cellulare perfetta ed immediata ma da rivedere fase check-in almeno per un benvenuto! - Posizione, Vista dalla camera, assistenza seppur solo al cell. La mancanza di presenza fisica di staff all’arrivo. Tutta domotica e via whatsapp. Per il prezzo che comunque in centro storico ci può stare, consiglierei che almeno all’arrivo ci sia presenza o che data la totale assenza di personale, la camera e le dotazioni siano perfette.
• Hendrik (9/5): Mittendrin statt nur dabei - Super Lage und Größe, riesige Dusche, süßer kleiner Garten mit Blick in die toskanische Landschaft. Alles ist tipptopp sauber und macht einen neuwertigen Eindruck inkl. der gut funktionierenden und sinnvoll platzierten Klimaanlage. Handtücher/Laken werden alle 2-3 Tage gewechselt. Einfache und unkomplizierte Kommunikation mit dem herzlichen Host Marco via WhatsApp, er ist aber auch oft persönlich anwesend, da er aktuell mit seiner Familie über dem Apartment wohnt und reagiert umgehend auf alle Anfragen oder Wünsche. Sehr feine Frühstücks-Option im Angebot u.a. im 2min entfernten Palazzo Avignonesi (Dolce dort sind unwiderstehlich). Wir fanden es super! 🤩 WLAN Netz ist leider öfters auch mal instabil. Kleiner funktionierender Kühlschrank wäre noch toll gewesen, aber das ist Kritik auf hohem Niveau.
• Karin (6/5): - Klimaanlage ging nicht, mussten Fenster aufmachen, daher die untere Straße sehr laut. Beim Vermieter gemeldet, Antwort einfach anmachen. Am nächsten Morgen hat er selbst versucht, und es ging nicht! Für den Spiegel im Bad musste man 1.80 sein! Bei dem Preis noch nicht mal eine Wasserflasche vorhanden!
• Duilio (9/5): -
• Elisa (7/5): - L'appartamento è arredato in maniera approssimativa .Sul sito sono presenti per lo più foto dell'altro appartamento gestito dallo stesso host che ha un look decisamente piu accattivante. In compenso la posizione è buona nel centro del paese
• IBAbooking (9/5): - Excellent emplacement. La Suite est splendide. La Room est parfaite. L'accès à la terrasse arborée est vraiment un plus. Les deux chambres sont en RDC aisément accessibles. Le loft au 1er étage dans l'immeuble mitoyen est agréable et très bien équipé (produits de première nécessité, vaisselle, etc.). Le petit-déjeuner à deux pas dans une excellente pâtisserie est délicieux. Climatisation. Bonne isolation des fenêtres (malheureusement la route en contrebas des remparts est très fréquentée) permettant de dormir au calme. Marco est très réactif et donne de nombreux conseils pratiques utiles pour que le séjour soit une réussite. A recommander sans hésitation !
• sabine (9/5): - Nette Unterkunft mit Blick nach Osten. Mitten im historischen Kern. Einfach nett, professionelles Service. Schöner Aufenthalt!
• Petra (8/5): - Sehr schönes grosses Zimmer an perfekter Lage. Netter Empfang des Hausherrn. Zummerreinigung erst auf unsere Nachfrage hat uns etwas irritiert
• Sara (9/5): - Camera arredata deliziosamente, host disponibile
• sama (3/5): False advertising- not a hotel, barely functional AC, and bug problems. - Great views from the windows in the room. Room is exactly as pictured. This isn’t a hotel its basically run like an airbnb. The room they gave us was up a dark staircase, the light would take a while to turn on so we had to use our phones flashlights. The air conditioning was off when we arrived and even with it running all night it barely made the heat tolerable. We opened one window in the bathroom for a minute to take in the views and a good amount of mosquitos got inside and were eating us alive. The duvet on top of the bed was stained and i found a bug under the pillow. When we arrived we wanted to take a shower but the water wasn’t coming out of the faucets so we had to wait 20min for it to be started up and then there’s a time limit on how much hot water you can use. The wifi is also touch and go. We ended up canceling the rest of our stay and booked a true hotel in Florence. The host was nice but not the most helpful in making local suggestions or answering questions.
• Nisso (9/5): Superb -
• Ivana (8/5): Very good -
• Dominik (10/5): Exceptional - Loved staying at this place. Very comfortable bed. Beautiful morning sun and amazing views over the valley.
• Cheryl (10/5): Exceptional - Everything here was exceptional, the room is like a large suite. It was very clean, spotless. With the beams and arches it really felt authentic and made us feel part of this ancient town. The shower was so big and very clean and was lovely after a long day exploring. The host was excellent and quick with communication. Our complementary breakfast was at the best coffee shop, cappuccino was great with awesome views of valley. The location is great a few steps away from the main street going up through Montepulciano, close to shops and restaurants.We really can't recommend this place enough it really made our holiday special ❤️ Grazie! We wish the owners every success they deserve it. Absolutely nothing everything exceeded our expectations. If we come back to Montepulciano we would definitely book here again. If I had to find anything constructive to say would be the table and chairs in the garden being metal have been affected by the weather. Maybe wood or rattan would make them more appealing to use.
• Fabiana (9/5): Superb -
• John (10/5): Exceptional -
• Oonagh (10/5): Exceptional -
• Katherine (10/5): Exceptional -
• Luigi (10/5): Memorable -
• Herika (8/5): Amazing location. Amazing view. - The studio was very clean and the view and the location were amazing! I need internet due to my work and it was very unstable
• Lucinda (10/5): Perfect Tuscan Stay in the heart of town! - Wow! Just amazing and the room is huge!!!!! Super bathroom and huge shower!! Super central and so glad we stayed here… Nothing! It really is lovely!
• Walesa (10/5): This place was our favorite from our entire 2 week trip, a must! - The location was amazing! To be able to get up and walk just down the street for a cappuccino and croissant was so nice. The owner gave us help tips on restaurants that were amazing. He met us with wine and cheese and was always available for any questions.
• Sharon (10/5): Lovely accommodation in a stunning area - The room was lovely with a garden view. The owner was great as at 11pm we got locked out by a guest who had locked the main gate in error. The owner came immediately and let us in. Having to walk up the big hill to the accommodation but we managed!
• Valentina (8/5): Very good -
• Janita (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely amazing 🤩 nothing bad to say None
• Tracey (10/5): perfect apartment, would stay again - The apartment was wonderful, incredibly spacious and opened into the garden. The host was lovely and so helpful, the location is also fantastic
• Tiffany (10/5): Exceptional - We really had fun staying here with funny tortoises outside the window and it was so great to be able to return to rest and refresh and walk the town again. Marko was awesome!
• Darren (3/5): Property had the basics but wasn’t very comfortable and didn’t seem to be a good value. Most photos of the property must - Location was good and also close to parking. Odor in the entryway, uncomfortable (couch, bed, chairs), noisy birds every morning, outlet didnt seem secure to the wall. Door lock didn’t seem very secure.
• Michael (7/5): Good location in Montepulciano but needs more attention to cleanliness. - Great central and quiet location. Paid parking garage a block away. Nicely outfitted bathroom. Decent bed and linens. We felt a bit misled by the beautiful photos of the property. There are two units at the location and the owner lives above. Our unit was the smaller unit, a room with double bed described as rustic decor with a garden view. I have posted a photo of the garden view. The foreground is littered in pet poop. The other main complaint was the state of the shower floor which is pretty grim with black mould. See 2nd posted image.
• Luis (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alda (9/5): I had the best sleep after a long ride. - Design Bathroom smell
• Bethany (10/5): Perfect stay in Montepulciano! - This property was so ideal! It was within the fortress gates just a few steps from the shopping strip but down an alleyway so you also felt removed from it. The locations was absolute perfect, the suite very clean and SO unique - a perfect mix of old mixed with all the modern necessities you’re used to. The host, Marco, made it very easy and was always a text away if needed. The included breakfast was a short walk away and was so lovely that we ended up booking dinner reservations multiple nights during our stay. I would absolutely stay here again! I can’t think of anything we didn’t like!
• Benki (10/5): Very Inviting and we will be back - Beautifully decorated and very spacious and comfortable. Very Clean. Location is great. Marco is amazing and had very good recommendations There is nothing not to like
• Nicole (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic location! Right in city center and amazing view!
• Mary (10/5): Wonderful suite within walking distance of everything! - We loved the suite itself. Very large, clean, fabulous shower, well-appointed, direct access to the garden. There was also a small refrigerator and a hot water kettle. Owner was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was at a local cafe--excellent! Nothing at all.
• Mylinh (9/5): Very confortable and well located loft with amazing views - Great and helpful host, the loft was well equipped, confortable and with an amazing view. The wifi was too weak in the loft therefore we couldn’t connect to it.
• Dinuksha (9/5): Superb -
• Richard (9/5): Great hill town - Great location with a great view
• Tracy (8/5): a great spot for a short escape. - Absolutely the most beautifully designed apartment set in the historic centre - so great location. The bed was quite comfortable and the room was very spacious. The host who live upstairs with their 3 children were also very helpful and friendly. It is a great place for a couple getting away for the weekend. We also loved the little turtles in the courtyard garden. We ate at some great restaurants, toured the historic places and visited the museum and did a wine tasting during our 3 days. Our accommodation came with breakfast vouchers at a great Cafe where we sat outside each morning in a small verandah with great views over the countryside and met new people each day. The apartment we stayed in is designed more for couples getting away for a short escape. There are no kitchen/cooking, microwave, washing facilities for those that are travelling or want to stay for longer periods. To be fair to our hosts, this apartment was not designed for this. La Corte Secreta do have an apartment with kitchen etc that would suit extended stays - it just wasn't available when I booked.
• Costanza (10/5): Exceptional - Apartment is modern, spacious, well furnished and the location is perfect. It is in the city centre while being close to two parking areas (one in ZTL where you are allowed to enter after 8pm). Host was very friendly and left us with many useful tips regarding places to visit. Much appreciated! Not accepting cards, unless you pay the fees. But host was flexible to let me avoid cash.
• Stefano (9/5): Superb -
• Mariana (8/5): Very good -
• Caz (8/5): comfortable apartment in great location - great location. Easy check in. Had to pay cash which we didn’t know. kids were in a separate apartment. lucky they had kitchen facilities as our room didn’t have any kettle or coffee facilities which it said on booking. com.
• Stefan (9/5): Superb - beautiful property couldn’t get air con to work
• Gabriele (9/5): Superb -
• Miis (9/5): Superb - Location, decoration, terrace (it is realy a secret court) and view
• Sari (10/5): Exceptional - magnifique place , spacious, made with a very good taste nothjng
• Karolien (10/5): Perfect place for a city trip and beautiful Val d’Orcia. - Wonderful loft right in the center of Montepulciano. Nothing
• Jennifer (5/5): Passable - The location of this apartment is great for a stay in Montepulciano and has a wonderful view. The first challenge is that the door to the apartment doesn't actually close or lock. Although the door to the building locks and I was the only guest during the stay, it is odd to have to keep chairs in front of the door to keep the apartment door closed. The host was out of town and sent a friend to take a look but he agreed the host should fix the issue. Additionally mid-way through my week-long stay, the host asked me to pay full in cash for the property. I thought this was odd as one usually pays at the end of a stay and not in the middle. Also, it is not really clear on booking.com that you need to pay in cash at the property and it is a considerable amount of money to get from an ATM. It would be good if that policy can be in bold when you book the reservations. Given that I stayed in a few apartments while I was in Montepulciano that I felt were better managed, I probably wouldn't return here.
