Il Tosco

The check in was easy. We arrived with an assigned parking spot. Short walk to the hotel. The room was clean and modern with an amazing view. Fresh pastries made by the owner. Great location to everything. The next morning a nice breakfast was prepared. We were able to leave are suitcases after checkout to explore the city more. Would stay again for sure.

The architecture and furnishings of this small boutique hotel are beautiful--the common areas felt like we were in a palace. The room and bathroom we stayed in were large and had every convenience that made our stay comfortable. It was quiet, clean, and felt like home. The kitchen was always open to the guests to enjoy a variety of pastries and drinks. A bottle of wine and fresh water was provided in our room. The towels and bath products were lovely. The bed linens were exquisite (who expects that?). There was always candy, fruit, and bar items in the living room. Parking was available, even though it was a climb up to the hotel (we were told we could get a permit to drop off/pick up luggage). Breakfast always delicious, with individually prepared egg dishes available. Dining reservations were made for us. It was a lovely stay. Angelina was a delightful and gracious hostess and made our stay memorable.

Angelina kind and helpful. We had trouble with our key not working after hours, and Angelina came within 15 minutes to remedy the problem. Breakfasts delicious. Made-to-order poached eggs and omelettes. Our room was large, with a huge bathroom. Quiet. Fresh air from windows that opened. Very clean place to stay. The ceilings and furniture were beautiful. Always fresh pastries and cake in kitchen. Carafe of water daily and opportunity to refill from the kitchen at any time. Helped us with dinner reservations and wine tasting.

A fantastic place! The friendliness, the service, the room in classical style with everything, a luxurious bathroom, beautiful breakfast, location - everything was just perfect! A hidden gem of the highest quality! This is a 10 of 5 if possible. We look forward to coming back - thank you! Morten og Åse, Norway

Heading to Montepulciano, book this place. It's a small, boutique guest house, in the heart of the old town, with just a handful of rooms and located within a grand former town villa. It's rare that a hotel comprehensively exceeds my expectations. Il Tosco did just that. For example, on arrival you're taken in to the kitchen, shown a wide selection of freshly baked cakes and told to help yourself, for free. Same goes for coffee, tea, sparkling water (from a tap), dried fruits and even a selection of spirits. The breakfast is served in the dining room, where your sit around a grand table with other guests, making it a communal experience. And the selection is great. The rooms are very well appointed. When large chains, even at the 5 star end are going cheap on toiletries, it was great to see that Il Tosco offered Salvatore Ferragamo products. It's a detail, but it aligns with the Tuscan theme and demonstrates that the owner really cares. Il Tosco was the perfect start to our Tuscan adventure.
