Hotel La Terrazza di Montepulciano, Montepulciano

This friendly little two-star hotel in Chianti offers simple, welcoming accommodation right in the heart of medieval Montepulciano. Famous for its Vino Nobile, Vin Santo and brittle cantuccini biscuits, Montepulciano is Tuscany's highest hill town and is surrounded by some of the most stunning countryside in the area.

Gently rolling hills clad with shady olive groves and burgeoning vineyards are interspersed by areas of dense woodland and sleepy, ancient hamlets. The climate is sunny and temperate here and all Tuscany's major cultural centres are within easy reach. The Hotel La Terrazza di Montepulciano is a family-run hotel with a welcoming, informal atmosphere: nothing is too much trouble for the enthusiastic owners, who welcome guests like long-lost friends.

There are just ten rooms at this Chianti accommodation, all with colour TV, bathroom, direct-dial telephone, satellite television, a hairdryer and a well-stocked minibar. Some rooms also have a personal safe, internet connection point and fax facility. Breakfast is included in the room rate and a choice is offered between a sumptuous full English version or a lighter Italian continental-style breakfast.

Pets are accepted here and this Chianti hotel has a lovely garden with an outdoor play area for the children. There is also a cosy lounge/bar with a roof terrace shaded by trees. A babysitting service is offered and there is free parking for cars and motorbikes.
