Residenza Fabroni

The amazing views from the Rosso room are only surpassed by the views from the rooftop terrace! Ah-mazing! Be warned there are 83 steps to get to the room but most are wide marble, just the last few are a tiny wooden staircase. It took us a minute to figure everything out but once we did we loved it. SO helpful to have a video to figure out where the parking is! The parking is covered and easy and an additional 10 euro per day. The included breakfast is a voucher for a restaurant for coffee, pastry and juice. For an additional 5 euro pp per day it is a full breakfast with eggs, etc in a beautiful setting. Great deal, just be sure to get the voucher from Natalia or the other lady. There is a mini frig in the room under the desk! Once we found it and plugged it in it was very handy. There were exterior metal shades that kept the morning sun out. The view from the bathroom is also amazing. There is a jacuzzi bath tub but it is possible to shower. There are multiple interesting common rooms but the panoramic rooftop terrace is absolutely magical! Natalia was responsive to our questions on Whatsapp. Everything was clean. Just be prepared for a historic building without many outlets, etc

Stayed for a couple nights in the Rossa Suite. This is lovely guesthouse, with our Suite being on the top floor of the building having stunning view of the countryside and other buildings in Montepulciano. Rossa suite was large with plenty of space. What I really liked was the communication from the owners. The day before I received a whatsapp message asking when we will be arriving and giving us general directions to the hotel. During the stay they would also message you to make sure everything was OK. Other points to note: - Location is about 100m from the bottom of the hill where the main entrance of the old town is. - The hotel is on the top floor, so you need to walk up 3 flights of stairs to reach. The Rossa suite is up another very narrow staircase. We were travelling with 2 large suitcases. It was OK for us but it is worth noting for anyone who may have issues with this. - Our suite did have an aircon unit but didn't seem to be working as the control on the wall did not operate it. When we were staying in June the temp was generally cool, but i imagine it could be an issue in the heat of summer. We did not ask if there is a separate remote control for the aircon unit. - There is a nice rooftop balcony that is available for all guests. Good views and there a chairs if you fancy a late afternoon drink. - Small kitchen area on the main floor. - Breakfast was at a cafe about 100m from the hotel. Its a nice historic cafe. The standard breakfast is just drinks and pastries. Through the hotel we paid an extra 3 euro each to include a hot option that was basically eggs and piece of bacon. - There are plenty of places for lunch in town but they do get busy with large tour groups and day trippers. If you are having dinner we strongly recommend booking in advance as not all places are open in the evening, particularly on Mondays as we found to our peril!

Unfortunately we did not like this residence. We got the green room, also called Suite Verde. It was incredibly hot in the room, with zero chance of cooling down (air conditioning or fan). In addition to this, there was an incredible amount of noise towards the street. Cars, people and the heat kept us up all night. All of the above made us leave one day earlier than we had booked. We are pretty suprised to see all the positives rewievs, because this is not what we experienced! Otherwise, I think it is worth mentioning that the room was clean and that there was good information to get before we arrived.

This is a time machine accommodation in the center of the city. The rooms are really spacious, they are kind of apartments for four people with two separate bedrooms. The decoration is absolutely vintage with many old used items. Such an original place. We had breakfast at Caffe Poliziano with an extra cost. Don't forget to visit and have a city view on the terrace of the building. I have to mention that because of the type of the building there is no air condition.

Montepulciano is absolutely beautiful with the Val d Orcia area to be explored and photographed for those iconic scenes of Tuscany with rolling hills, cypress trees and lone tuscan villas sitting atop small hills. Residenza Fabroni is inside the old town and a lovely old house, giving you a flavour of a different era. There is a rooftop with stunning views where we took wine and cheese and had a gorgeous evening. there is a little reading room up some narrow wooden stairs, right out of a storybook. They will pick you up from the train station for a reasonable fee and David who collected us and checked us in was lovely. Helped with our bags and gave us all the info we needed. We had the blue suite which was massive and can easily accommodate a family with kids, although we were just two. They also include breakfast at an absolutely lovely cafe nearby with a fantastic view!! Book Residenza Fabroni. We will be back!

Great location and super cool hotel! It’s an old building with lots of charm and incredible views. We were in the Suite Blu which would be perfect for a family (there are two separate rooms, one with twins and one with a queen). David was so nice and helpful! We were even able to get picked up from the train station. Would definitely visit this hotel again! The room was really comfortable and full of cool, authentic, Montepulciano artwork. Location is really unbeatable - right in the center of the city! And you get free breakfast at the iconic (and delicious) Cafe Poliziano!
