Perfectly located property with secure off-street parking, clean and comfortable apartments, friendly and attentive hosts, near great dining options, and amazing views.

This property is next door to the fortress at the top of the hill in Montepulciano. We were able to drive to and from the apartment with ease. It's also easy to leave town and explore the area outside the city walls. The route avoids all ZTL restricted zones. This is perhaps the only off-street parking available in Montepulciano and in addition, the parking space is secured by an automatic gate. The apartment was clean and comfortable, and the host was very attentive and friendly. Highly recommended!

This property was everything and more than advertised, Great location, great layout, best views, private parking, very clean, very comfortable, nicely appointed. Be prepared to walk up and down hills. The hosts Raffaella & David could not have been more accommodating. We highly recommend staying here.

We love this villa - great location , beautifully furnished , comfortable , very friendly & helpful hosts, & beautiful views from courtyard . We loved sitting in courtyard for morning coffee & evening limoncello . We hope to return & stay longer . Ty’s town of Montelpulciano made a great home base . On-site parking is big bonus .

Excellent communication before + during visit (Davide and Raffealla are fantastic). Beautiful space. Incredible to have parking spot. Wonderful bedrooms each with their own bathrooms. While not shown, great little kitchen. Great location but restaurants nearby are very touristy with not great food - recommend finding dining a little further away (avoid Osteria del Borgo + del Conte- really average/poor food- created for tourists I think- does not represent Italian cuisine very well. Nearby Monticchiello has great restaurant: Fra Paolina.). This is the best Arbnb we’ve ever had the pleasure to visit.

Davide and Raffaela were lovely hosts. The space had everything we needed: two rooms with firm mattresses, plenty of pillows and covers, a bathroom for each room, a parking space big enough for our car, and views for days. The home is on the highest point of Montepulciano, so you can’t beat the views, the quiet, and the sun. The town is easily walkable, but be ready for steep hills. The parking space was a little tight to get into, but we rented a jeep with four-wheel drive, so parking on a hill wasn’t that bad of an experience—just new—AND they have a plug for electric cars! You can hear the family upstairs, but they don’t make a lot of noise. The kids go to bed pretty early. We were very happy during our three days in Montepulciano. It was a perfect home base for exploring Tuscany. Would definitely try to stay here again if I come back. <3

Absolutely a wonderful stay. There is a say in the real estate business. Location, location, location meaning it is about as perfect spot as you can find. In the center of town, in less than an hour drive you can visit the best Tuscany has to offer. Our host was just wonderful and available for whatever we needed.

Our hosts Davide & Raffaella greeted us upon our arrival and helped us organize restaurant reservations for each day during our stay. An exceptionally clean and well-equipped unit very near restaurants and sights. We were most comfortable for two couples, and the views from our unit spectacular. A most pleasant stay exceeding our expectations. Thank you so much for your support and kindness .

From start to finish this was an amazing vacation and our hosts were a big part of it. From a restaurant reservation assist the first day to great communication through the stay. The location is beautifully appointed and just steps from the heart of the city. The vistas nearby were a bonus for breathtaking pictures of the countryside. All in all we were wowed and plan to return! Thanks for the memories…

Perfect rental home in historic Tuscany!
Best possible location next to Fortezza (with wine tasting and beautiful patio), and near restaurants and wine cellars.
Beautiful views from every window! Flowers blooming in garden with comfy lounge chairs.
Ground floor apartment is in a 3 level private home, owners live above.
Large light filled living room/dining room and 2 large bedrooms. Full stocked kitchen.
New stylish and clean bathrooms (2) with showers. Linens and soaps provided.
Private parking spot inside gated yard is a HUGE benefit in old historic hilltown!
Owners are warm and welcoming, very responsive, gave us good recommendations and made reservations for us at local restaurants which were great, and they even gave us a nice bottle of local wine!
We would absolutely stay here again! Best stay in Italy! Thank you Davide and Rafaella!

Amazing property with stunning views
Raffaella and Davide's property was perfect for our stay in Montepulciano. The apartment is the entire 1st floor of their house, with private entrance and gated parking space. The apartment was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. Walking around Montepulciano was easy from the apartment and the views at the top of the hill where the house is located was absolutely beautiful. Communication with Raffaella was very easy and she met with us at our arrival to show us the property and give recommendations on her favorite food spots. Overall, a great stay and we highly recommend this property!

Very nice place
The two bedroom apartment on the bottom floor was a very nice place and well appointed. The private garden and parking spot were also very nice. Good place would be perfect if it had air-conditioning. We were there in late June and it was 85 to 90°. It cooled off a bit at night but the one room is next to the road which is one of the few exits of the city walls. There was a decent amount of traffic and too noisy with the windows open. The place was perfect otherwise!

The garden is really nice and the view is great too. This apartment would have been a little cozy for 4 adults.

Beautiful and convenient - what a combination!
My family and I had a wonderful stay in Montepulciano. Raffaella and Davide were warm, hospitable, and flexible, and provided excellent recommendations for local activities and restaurants. The apartment itself is clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, and ideally located just steps from the fortress and park (to the delight of our toddler) and from the piazza (to the delight of the adults). Easy car access and parking on site is a fabulous bonus and extremely convenient. We hope to be back to Montepulciano soon and would absolutely stay here again.

You'll LOVE Raphaella and Davide!
We had a wonderful week at Raphaella and Davide's...the apartment is in an ideal location in old town Montepulciano...and unlike most places in this Medieval fortress city, it has a private back yard, gazebo and porch! I loved having coffee out there in the mornings, listening to all the birds in the adjacent park. The apartment is very comfortable and clean...the hosts thoughtfully provided numerous conveniences and personal care products. This is very unusual for a HomeAway rental. And one of the apartment's best perks is its private, gated parking lot. I never saw another one in all of Montepulciano! We had a wonderful week there--took off most days to explore the beautiful countryside and other cities, but we were always happy to come "home" to our apartment in Montepulciano. We would love to go back!

Simply Amazing
First of all, David & Rafaella are amazing hosts! They greeted us upon arrival and set up all our dinner and lunch reservations which was so helpful. Each restaurant was wonderful and had it's own unique things we loved. The apartment is beautifully decorated, old world charm but modern touches and very clean! The location is excellent for walking to everything and right next to a beautiful park. We definitely will be back! Thank you again for an amazing time!

Perfect Location
An amazing location in a simply beautiful town. Our stay could not have been better. Perfect accommodations with two terrific and thoughtful hosts. We were met with smiles from David and Raffaella as well as a delicious bottle of wine to start our stay. The apartment was perfect for two couples and the kitchen allowed us to cook our own meals, although there was plenty of restaurants to keep us eating out for weeks. Montepulciano is a charming and historically beautiful town which we would go back to if ever in Italy again. The Pileggi's were the best. We all highly recommend their rental and thank them again for such a great stay.

Perfect place for two couples or a family.
Davide and Raffaella’s apartment in charming Montepulciano was perfect. It was spotless and Davide greeted us upon arrival. The only hitch in getting there was a street that was blocked for construction. Even though we were in the historic part of town (very historic), the apartment was very modern and well- designed. We would love to return to this beautiful area and would definitely stay here again.

Gem Above The Clouds
Our family of four completely enjoyed staying in Rafaella and Davide's guest quarters! They have done a beautiful job renovating the bathrooms and decorating this perfectly situated mountaintop retreat. It has all the charm one could hope for as well as modern amenities. The beds were very comfortable, the showers hot, toiletries were available as well as bottled water and espresso. We were greeted at the gate, gifted a lovely bottle of local wine and they generously made reservations for us at a local restaurant. Our only disappointment was that our stay was so short.

Wonderful Montepulciano
We had a wonderful stay in Montepulciano, the apartment was just as nice as the website promised it would be with beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces. Raffaella and Davide were the perfect hosts and gave us great local tips and advice. We would certainly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Tuscany.

superb location, modern convenience, and old world charm.
Our stay in Montepulciano was the highlight of our trip to Tuscany. This apartment is in the BEST location, adjacent to a beautiful public garden, with birds chirping and the corso (main street) AND Piazza Grande only a block or two away. And the parking space was a Godsend. Davide and Rafaella went above-and-beyond the call: when we needed a can opener... Rafaella ran to the store to buy one so I could complete my ragu! The apartment was a great combination of modern convenience (kitchen and baths) and beautiful old-world decor and charm. There were four of us (two mature couples) and we were quite comfortable with plenty of privacy. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Way Exceeded our expectations. Amazing property. Hosts were WONDERFUL!!
This turned out to be by far our best accommodations in our two week trip. Our hosts were wonderful and so friendly and helpful. They even took some of our laundry to a dry cleaner and picked up for us. The apartment was immaculate and the beds were very comfortable with great pillows. The location is next to a quiet park with huge trees surrounding it. The views from the property were very good. The outside seating and yard are great and the parking a huge plus. It is really more of quaint, personal B & B type experience with the decor and special touches. Bathrooms are modern and very functional. I would come back here in heatrbeat.

Charming Tuscany Destination
This was our first visit to Italy and we we loved Tuscany and Montepulciano. It was our favorite destination in our three weeks of travel in Italy and Davide and Raffaella were the perfect hosts. Our only regret was that we did not stay longer at their lovely home and town. The old town section of Montepulciano where the property is located is charming with numerous restaurants and shops all within an easy walk. The onsite parking was great and a real plus in the old city. The property was immaculate and beautiful. We will definitely return for a longer stay with Davide and Raffaella.

Clean, amazing location and excellent hosts
First, the photos don't do this place justice! It seems the entire apartment was recently remodeled, however they did maintain the rustic ceilings in some of the rooms. The Bathrooms are well appointed, larger showers and plenty of hot water. The beds were comfortable and clean. The location can't be beat...everything is an easy walk. There is even an area (gated) on the property for your vehicle, so no need to worry about parking and carrying luggage. My only regret is we didn't stay longer. We were only able to enjoy one afternoon in the garden, and we would have loved to enjoy more. Our host family were so sweet, but unobtrusive. We will be staying here again on your next trip to Montepulciano!
