“Elegant simplicity” are the best words to describe this apartment… (Canada)
Perfect week! Hit all restaurants in the book and loved them. Did the ferry to Isola Maggiore (lake Trasimeno) and loved it. The view from the apt. is great and we loved the garden. Internet was great too! And having the stack of tourist info was perfect. I’m sure we’ll be back! (U.S.A.)
Abbiamo passato una settimana magnifica a Montepulciano! L'appartamento era una casa e una base per noi. Die zentrale Lage und der wunderbare Garten gefielen unseren Kindern... Ganz herlizchen Dank für das talle Ambiente und die Liebe zum Detail... (Schweiz)

…Thanks so much for your apartment, I was impressed by the views! (China)

Grazie per questa occasione di ritrovarci, e per la vostra squisita ospitalità in questo incantevole luogo…
… è stato un incontro bellissimo con voi, con la vostra straordinaria affettuosità e con questo straordinario paesaggio…
Grazia, natura, bellezza, simpatia, affetto, tutto mi ha reso proprio tanta gioia. Matrimonio epocale! (Italia)
Séjour inoubliable dans l’appartement idéal, et dans cette ville qui est un vrai petit paradis: nous regrettons seulement de n’avoir pas pu tout visiter, mais nous espérons pouvoir le faire durant notre prochaine visite! (Suisse)

オーナーのご夫婦もとてもいい方で

思い出にのこる日々となりました。

…“Our home” here has been perfect. Montepulciano is a wonderful base for exploring other areas, but also a fascinating town in its own rights: and our beautiful apartment has been the best location… (U.S.A.)
... The location of the apartment is perfect: it is close to everything and has easy access in/out of town to explore the countryside. The apartment itself is beautiful, and I loved waking up every morning to the beautiful views… Our girls loved  running around in the grass and exploring the garden… We hope to be back to visit soon! (U.S.A.)
Nous sommes, sans doute, tombés sur un des plus beaux appartements de Montepulciano… Quel contraste entre les rues étroites pleines d’ombre et la vue panoramique qui s’ouvre à vos yeux par les fenetres… Le jardin, joliment établi sur des terrasses, est dominé par un magnifique cèdre centenaire... (Nederland)
 We used apt. 2 and 3. They are great, beautifully appointed and with wonderful views… We love Montepulciano and keep coming back, and now it will be all the more tempting as we’ve found such a delightful accommodation right in the heart of the town! (England)
Thank you for a splendid week in this perfect house! We have enjoyed the time every minute, and will recommend it to our family and friends… (Denmark)
Today is bittersweet… We have so enjoyed the apartment and Montepulciano! Being here with friends and family was incredible: none of it would mean anything if we couldn’t share it… (U.S.A.)

In America we say there are 3 important things in real estate: 1) Location; 2) Location: 3) Location. You definitely have all 3! It was a freat spot for day trips N-S-E-W. We visited vineries and coastline, ate chocolate from Perugia and cheese from Pienza. Thanks for everything! (U.S.A.)
We’ve had a faboulous week in Montepulciano! It is a truly beautiful place and an excellent base for day trips. We fitted in Rome, Siena and Monticchiello even without a car: Your beautiful apartment made us feel home from home (U.K.)
Dank’al esperanto, ni konis tiun tiel ĉarmegan domon, en kiu ni ĝuis la kvietan etoson (kaj eĉ kelkfoje la muzikon de niaj muzikistaj najbaroj! Montepulciano estas vidinda loko kaj la domo neforgesebla! (France)
We have loved every moment spent here. It was truly like a home away from home... We cannot wait to tell family and friends about our time spent in your lovely apartment, so they too can allow their minds to wander-wondering when they might stay in Montepulciano in such amazing accommodations! (U.S.A.)
... We are overwhelmed with the beauty of this place and its surroundings, and over all with your talent in turning this mansion into such charming apartments while conserving the flavour of its past... (Canada-Iraq)

What a fabulous two weeks in Tuscany, and in this lovely apartment. We’ll be back! (Australia)

Jerima Kasihi! Kita suha sehali ini rumah! The accommodations surpassed everything we expected. We enjoyed our stay here tremendously! (Indonesia – Canada)
We stayed last summer in apt.4, this year in apt.2, and we have loved both apartments... This is a lovely part of the old town, and quite convenient. Bella Toscana will be in our thoughts and dreams until we return in July 2005... (U.S.A.)
Great tour & lovely apartment, both made for a wonderful vacation... (U.S.A.)
... Excursions to Siena and Orvieto, and evening strolls up to Piazza Grande. Great food, wine and ice-cream. Excellent apartment in town, but still a very quiet location. Add to that a large beautiful garden with friendly cats! (Sverige)
Your apartment exceeded our expectation! The beautiful view, peaceful garden, comfort, and much appreciated modern conveniences were great. But your hospitality was what made it all extra special. We will be back! (U.S.A.)
Thank you for a truly lovely stay and for the quality of this apartment. The fact that so much effort has been put into making it a home means that the guest who passes through can really feel treasured. I hope to stay here again soon. Saluti affettuosi (England)
The charm of the hillsides, the vineyards and the old town centres made our stay in Tuscany most enjoyable. We appreciate your graciousness as hosts and look forward to telling our friend of your apartment in Montepulciano! Thank you! (U.S.A.)
La restado ĉi tie estis agrabla kaj konforta, kaj precipe frapis min la personeco kaj la etoso de la apartamento: en la meblaro, en la ornamaĵoj, en ĉiuj detaloj oni perceptas la elegantan stilon kaj la kulturan heredaĵon familian de la proprietuloj. (Italia)
Six days of sun, one day overcast. Six days of biking and hiking. Re: biking - smooth pavement, courteous drivers, some wind at your back side, or front. Hills are great going down, but be prepared to work going up. Of course the reward going up may be a town at the top for lunch! Our experience: about 50 km/day average, 2 flats, 1 spill (wear your helmet!), great lunches, no weight gain, great sleeping at night. We used racing bikes, although we thought about hybrids. I believe racing bike is better, especially for hill climbing. Very comfortable apartment. (U.S.A.)
Great place to stay – meaning both Montepulciano and this apartment. Everything is well worth recommending to others interested in a good holiday! (Sverige)
Pensiamo con molto piacere a il nostro soggiorno nella sua casa. Nous espérons de vous revoir bientôt! (Deutschland)
... Nous sommes malheureusement déjà à l’heure du départ! Des images plein les yeux, de la musique plein les oreilles, des goûts plein les papilles nous repartons... Merci mille fois pour cet appartement meublé et décoré avec tant de goût. Un séjour inoubliable! (France, Deutschland)
Nur por kelkaj tagoj ni pasis en tiu ĉi lando de ni nekonata. Vi tial bonkore ricevis nin, ke ni reiras hejmen kun fortika mem-promeso reveni ĝui la italan vivmanieron, amikecon kaj pejzaĝon. La apartamento estas ja tre ĉarma kaj elstara. Multajn dankojn! (U.S.A.)
Many thanks. Fantastic! We will recommend the apartment to our friends. (England)
“Ci avete dato il piacere, vi regaliamo quello a cui più teniamo: il ricordo” (Socrate). (Italia)
