About this property

Beautiful Residence in the Old Town

This beautifully restored and professionally decorated residence is located within the walled city, the historic center of Montepulciano, an important hill town in southern Tuscany.

Situated on a small lane just off the main commercial street of the town, 'the Corso,' it offers ready access to the cultural life of the town, restaurants, coffee bars, shops and the wine bars, tasting rooms and cellars where you can sample the famous wines of Montepulciano, yet the apartment is so quite that an alarm clock will be needed if you don't want to sleep away the morning.

At the foot of the lane is a small plaza overlooking the medieval wall of the town with a breathtaking panoramic view of vineyard-covered hillsides, clusters of farmhouses and the Lake of Chiusi in the near distance, Lake Trasimino and the town of Cortona in the middle-distance and the spectacular Appenine Mountains beyond.

The precise age of the original house is not known but the cellar contains the town's only remaining ceramics kiln and certainly predates the 17th century addition that is now a separate residence for the owners.

Although completely renovated, the residence retains its original character - hand-hewn chestnut beams, handmade terra-cotta floors, travertine marble door frames set in thick stone walls with panelled wood doors and hand forged iron hardware. Even the copper and wrought iron light fixtures were made by a local craftsman. The bathrooms and kitchen are thoroughly modern and equipped to meet the expectations of discriminating visitors. There is also a central heating system and a working fireplace for the comfort and pleasure of winter visitors.

Idyllic town with terrific location, space and owner
Montepulciano is a welcoming and classic town in the heart of Tuscany and this location and it’s owner Royce are just as friendly as the town. A walled city on a hill, be prepared to do some steps and the incredible panoramas will not disappoint. Lots of space, two bathrooms make group touring very comfortable.

Wonderful Apartment
The apartment was very nice, clean and roomy. Owner greeted us at our car and answered all our questions. He was a gracious host. The apartment is right in the center of the Village and walked to all our sites and restaurants. Thank you, Royce, for your hospitality!

In the heart of the historic area
The historic home has been appropriately restored with modern conveniences but maintains loads of character. Its location is excellent, splitting the upper and lower parts of the historic center, and just down the walkway are some of the most breathtaking views of Tuscany. Royce was responsive to questions and is a fantastic host!

A wonderful spot from which to explore Tuscany
Royce’s apartment is in a fantastic location and was a great home base for our stay. We could easily explore Montepulciano on foot and keep our car close by for exploring the countryside and beyond. Royce was responsive and provided a great guide to the town.

About the host

Hosted by Royce Lanier

Host profile image
I'm an American (now also Canadian) architect living in Toronto but spending about 4 months a year in Montepulciano.

Why they chose this property

It was an architect's dream ... a very old property with a lot of character in a great location in the perfect Tuscan hill town. And it was in terrible condition - so I could transform it into the lovely place it it is today.

What makes this property unique

It's in the center of town, but off the main street, so very quite
