is one of the most celebrated hill town of Tuscany. It combines breathtaking views of the quintessentially Tuscan countryside dotted with vineyards and olive groves with a history that stretches back to the pre-Roman Etruscans .

Montepulciano lies on a hilltop in a panoramic position and is surrounded by the 15th century defensive works by "Antonio da Sangallo" a renowned XV Cent. architecht. Throughout the centuries, the town has preserved many Renaissance jewels and artistic treasures along side the natural beauty of the surrounding countryside..

It is in such a quaint and cosy town that travellers can feel "at home" almost immediately and welcomed as a part of the community rather than an anonymous tourist in a crowded city.

Yet Montepulciano is a central location for day-long field trips to cultural and historic centers as Arezzo, Florence, and Siena or to numerous other classic destinations of central Italy.
What is the best way of living the town and its rythm other than staying in its historical heart?

are two private self contained apartments located in the most central and oldest part of Montepulciano. The name derives from a famous Renaissance scholar and poet (Poliziano) who was born in a building next door . From this position the apartments enjoy an impressive view over the surrounding valleys and are at walking distance to all major cafés, restaurants, shops, wine cellars and all major attractions.
