Reviews of Podere Fontecastello

The place is idyllic for relaxing in peace and enjoying nature and the scenery, with just a short walk from the center. The owners do everything with love and always with a big smile, especially the delicious breakfast on the terrace. Highly recommended, we are already looking forward to returning.

Nothing to highlight here.

The property is in a fantastic location, within easy walking distance to the town. We really appreciated the communal kitchen, which made it easy to prepare lunches and snacks, and the breakfast each morning was excellent. However, we were disappointed to find that our room didn’t have a balcony—especially frustrating after travelling so far, when most other rooms did. The grass around the pool area was quite overgrown, and the walls were very thin—we could even hear someone coughing from two rooms away. Overall, a mostly pleasant stay, but a few things could be improved.

It was a beautiful property, breakfast was fresh and amazing and the shared kitchen space was convenient

This villa was one of the highlights of our 4 week trip around Europe. Set in the stunning, purely authentic Tuscan countryside, this villa provided the revival we needed after a hectic few days in Rome. All of the facilities were fantastic, our room had a lovely balcony and huge doors and windows letting lots of light into our room. The staff were all incredibly friendly and welcoming, and we loved the dogs Welma and Thor.

Only downside is being located down a hill, so we copped a decent walk before we secured a scooter

Pool, staff,

I would have liked to cook. No stove

This was a beautiful property!! Absolutely amazing location! Easy walk into the beautiful town. Peaceful and quiet. The pool area was stunning and a wonderful place to relax. Thank you for the delicious breakfast! Everything about our stay was perfect !! The hosts were so kind and helpful and even picked us up and dropped us off at the bus station. Thank you !!

Our accomodation was set in a rural location a short walk from the town of Montepulciano. The room was of sufficient size and comfortable. There was a pool which was very much appreciated as some days during our stay were quite hot. The staff were amazing and very accommodating. The breakfast that was included was a particular highlight.

The setting and location are dreamy! The accommodation is rustic yet tasteful, and the surroundings feel like something out of a movie set. The hospitality was truly exceptional. The owners have created a very homey and welcoming environment. They are warm, easygoing, and make you feel right at home. The atmosphere is serene, and they give you the freedom to relax however you like—whether it's roaming the grounds, enjoying the pool, or unwinding in the beautiful common areas. The location is just a 10–15 minute walk to town, and Montepulciano definitely lives up to expectations! I would absolutely stay here again.

Bathrooms are really basic and small.

Antonella was lovely and made us feel right at home in this stunning estate. Such a dream stay with a large comfortable room and stunning pool. The AC was very useful to have in the 30 degree Tuscan heat but due to the big windows in the room we didn’t need it.

We absolutely enjoy our stay. Location is perfect. Manageable to walk to the old town, bus station and big Conad supermarket. The stone house is very cute, renovated the old furniture in new usage. I like the classroom study desk in our room. The host family is very welcoming and friendly. Antonella is very helpful to give us recommendations of sighting and restaurant. Breakfast is home-made traditional Italian breakfast. Enough varieties and choices. Highly recommend to stay at least 2 nights. We got no time to enjoy the pool and the peace there.

Amazing location on the edge of town (only a short walk into the hustle and bustle). Beautiful pool area and generally great place to base yourself to explore

Breakfast could be improved - maybe a choice in the savoury / sweet options?

Really nice people who were very welcoming and helped to create a very relaxed atmosphere. Great pool. Great view out our room, and they made us a special breakfast when we needed to check out early after our 5 nights with them.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Breakfast was in an outdoor courtyard with many options. The room was comfortable and well decorated. The pool and gardens well maintained. Great views over olive groves & and the property is straight onto a lovely walk along vineyards! 10 minute walk (uphill) to the centre of town, which always felt completely safe (we even saw loads of glow worms!). Easy parking. Lovely birdsong the whole time. I’d recommend staying here.

Nothing, everything was perfect

Loved the charming Tuscan buildings, the views, the feeling of calm & relaxation amongst the walnut & cypress trees. Our room had a balcony & also opened out onto a shared kitchenette which was a bonus as you could prepare a picnic/teas/coffees. The house-made olive oil from the farm!! Loved the pool, the breakfast on the terrace & the proximity to the historic centre of Montepulciano (a stroll up the hill maybe 10 mins). The whole atmosphere was so chill - the ladies of the property were all super friendly and helpful, and the way that the different rooms were laid out meant you had your own personal space but could also meet other guests and chat if you wanted to.

Lovely staff, very good breakfast, comfy beds, gorgeous garden and pool. 10 minutes walk to Montepulciano

Setting was stunning, we had planned it as a base but ended up going back early to enjoy the pool and surroundings as it was so peaceful. Beautiful breakfast again in a lovely setting. Their own produced wine is excellent.

Nothing

Felt very at home during our stay and it made a great base for us to explore Tuscany. Breakfast was lovely and homemade. Our hosts were lovely. Views are beautiful and walking around the vineyard among the olive trees is nice. You can walk or drive to town. Parking available on site!

N/A

The pool and grassy area were so nice. The property is beautiful and lots of trees and plants. We really enjoyed exploring.

Nothing.

Peaceful family atmosphere Close to the city with the feel of wine country living So memorable! Excellent breakfast Ciao

The stay was to short😀

Podere Fontecastello is in a beautiful location, and it’s also a great location to visit Montepulciano and the Tuscany region. Lucrezia and Antonella are very nice and very helpful, ensuring that we had everything we needed. The breakfast was excellent, and the room was simple but large and comfortable.

Location, interaction with the family that owns the place and with other very satisfied guests.

We were sorry we had to leave after one night...I would have loved to stay longer.

Amazing quite location 30 min outside of the city by foot. The pool surrounded by olive trees allows you to fully relax.
