The views are fantastic.  Looking out the kitchen window, you may find yourself thinking you are looking at a painting – except it’s real!

There are showers in every bathroom.  We took great care to enlarge the rooms and bathrooms throughout the house, as well as to make the showers as large as we could.  The house is very spacious; in fact, we reduced the house from 8 bedrooms when we purchased it, to 6 bedrooms.  That means bigger bedrooms and bigger bathrooms!

Every bedroom and living room in the house has air conditioning.  All the windows are screened, something we found lacking in most Tuscan guest-lodging when we were tourists to the area.  So if you want to open your windows, you can.  If you want air conditioning, you will be very comfortable.

The villa is luxurious.  We strove to make it a five-star property.  But, there are stairs (the house is over two hundred years old!), and if you have difficulty going up and downstairs, this may not be the villa for you.  Montepulciano itself is a hilltop town, so you can expect a few hills.
