Cantina di Montalcino Tours and Activities

The hotel is just off from the buzzing city street and night time can be noisy. You really need ear plugs to be able to have a good night sleep. The location is right near Uffizi Gallery and walkable to everywhere. One thing lucking about the hotel is that there is no kettle and there are no facilities to have hot drinks in the room, which was disappointed. The hotel room is very clean and spacious. The shower time can be a tricky; the hot water is supplied by a tank water system. If one person has shower evern a quick one, next person gets a warm cold shower.... so its best to think who gets shower first or timing between if you are staying more than 2 people. Breakfast is very basic and average, not funcy. I personally don't think this hotel classes as 4 stars, it's rather 3 stars. Be prepare to pay for a city tax on your arrival in cash. We didn't know (there was a note in the details but it was easily missed as it was wrtten in the hiding and expanding sections) and luckily we had cash with us, it was a very surprise cahrge and it wasn't cheap.

This is a beautiful location and the facilities are stunning. Really everything is picture perfect and you are only 20 minutes from Montepulciano and 30 minutes from Pienza. Both are amazing to explore and offer excellent dining options. The concierge recommended Tuscan Sweet Dreams to take us to a vineyard and through the Val d’Orcia. This was truly memorable. I recommend it without hesitation. The hotel experience is absolutely top tier. The restaurant is not at the same level of perfection as the hotel stay.

This is a little gem of a hotel. On the lower level there is a spa that has a fabulous hot tub, sauna, and steam bath as well as relaxation room. A guest can use it for FREE for an hour and a half. Also a massage is available for fee. The breakfast is fabulous. And there are a couple of Indian restaurants within a couple of blocks in case you get tired of Italian food. It is not right near the Duomo but maybe half hour walk away.
