On the grapewine...
The many friends and fellow travelers who stayed at the Politian apartments liked the perfect location in town, the friendly relaxed ambience and of course the good value. Word of mouth is most reliable of references, if you are still wondering read below.
Here some recent comments:
"Pleasant suprise was the size of the apartment, roomy and spacious. High summer whilst we were there, but shutters and windows allowed for air flow. Location is ideal.
The landlords were most accommodating, pleasant and easy to deal with. Both spoke good English. The web site gave a fair and accurate portrayal of the apartment. Giacomo (the landlord) also provides helpful and accurate information regarding transport and the township at the apartment web site.

"We arrived in Montepulciano at 17:00 and found our apartments in the south end of town. Be sure you have good driving directions, which we did thanks to the thoughtful owner, Giacomo. We had both of his apartments that are side by side in one building. This may be one of the best values in all of Tuscany. The views are terrific and Giacomo is a big help. Both apartments also have internet stations. "

"On then to Montepulciano. The apartments are fantastic!! They are large and comfortable, the view is simply wonderful and they are right in the main street. We settled in, had a light dinner (Vino Nobile, Est!Est!Est! some mortadella di Toscana two different sorts of pecorino and some fruit ). The evening was filled with the candle lit street procession for the Bravio. Very photogenic!"

"We stayed in the Politian Apartment in Montepulciano in June. We had traveled from Rome and had spent many days walking all over Rome, so when we arrived in Montepulciano we were just ready to have a few days of pure relaxation. The apartment was absolutely amazing. I had seen pictures on the politian website, and they seemed almost too good to be true. But when we arrived, it definitely met if not exceed my expectations. The view from the living room (and bedroom) was amazing, hills of Tuscany."

and I had the most wonderful time in Italy! I’m sending you this
photo of the full moon outside the window (such a view!) of the
best place to stay in all of Tuscany. Honestly, when people ask
me what the best part of my trip was, I say “walking into our
apartment in Montepulciano and realizing that the internet description
and photos were not only accurate but they could not begin to
capture the warmth of the interior and the beauty of the view.”
In other words, after months of obsessing over this trip, I was
profoundly grateful that it was going to be as fabulous as I had
hoped."

"We
will definitely be staying there again, and have already told
many of our friends we are planning to bring them back with us.
We adored Montepulciano, and the apartment was absolutely perfect..."
Brooks and Jean from NYC
"...we both want to thank you for making Montepulciano the
very best part of our vacation. It was, unquestionably, the highlight
of our trip, and we're already planning to return in either the
fall of next year or the Spring of 2007. On that trip we hope
to be able to stay with you for an entire week. It's hard to imagine
a more perfect combination -- a spectacular apartment, in the
middle of one of the world's most beautiful settings, presided
over by a gracious and generous host. It was just great, and we
truly enjoyed our stay with you."
Tom and Kim from Vancouver, WA USA.
