Great guys running the place. Comfortable bed. Perfect area. Music school next door provided piano and string instrument music through the windows. Amazing. Breakfast was nice, with type and volume of food huge! The apartment was mostly clean, with gorgeous windows and lots of space. Fairly dated furniture, which is fine for wood pieces, not so much for the sofas. Attention to detail lacking. A thorough clean and update, especially the sofas, curtains, accessories etc would do a lot for the place. We had a view out the front, which was ok. The views out the back are gorgeous.

We loved our time in Montepulciano at the Osteria del Borgo! The view from our room was amazingly beautiful and its location on the main piazza was perfect! Continental breakfast at the restaurant helped start our day and the lunch and dinner choices were very good.

Lovely stay at Ostia del Borgo
We had a wonderful stay at Ostia Del Borgo in apartment Ricci. The apartment is huge, well equipped and located right on the main square, so great location. Dinner on the terrace is also highly recommended, as it has stunning views over the surrounding countryside. Thanks so much for looking after us so well!! We will be back

This property is right off the main Piazza in Montepulchiano. It is located over a restaurant with a side entrance and parking can be arranged down the street. The restaurant is actually very good and provides breakfast each morning. The room itself was nice size and well-appointed. I honestly thought the view out the window was photoshopped when I saw the online pictures, but I'm here to tell you that it's absolutely as fantastic as you want it to be! We enjoyed our stay very much and would happily stay again.

Montepulciano Views
This Osteria has a great restaurant and is in an excellent location. The property and our room have amazing views and sunsets. They have 3 free parking spots about a 5-minute walk down the hill and we are able to get one. The property is very clean, but could use some updating. Mattress was bouncy and we didn’t have an electric kettle which was disappointing. The staff was pleasant and we would stay here again if spending the evening in Montepulciano.

We stayed 2 days and one night at this beautiful hotel and would definitely return in the future. Giacomo’s service made us feel welcome and was very helpful providing us with directions to get to the hotel and finding the parking. This place looks like an apartment with kitchen, living room and bedroom and a cozy fireplace. My favorite part was the beautiful window facing the piazza where you can feel part of the community. The hotel has a terrace where we enjoyed an incredible sunset. The breakfast was really delicious ; prosciutto, Italian baked sweets, great coffee and water. The hotel has also a restaurant with delicious food where we enjoyed an amazing local dinner.

Property situated in the heart of the Montepulciano castle town. You couldn’t be more central! Restaurant attached to hotel was delicious and had fantastic views of the countryside. We were so lucky to get a charming one bedroom apartment with a small terrace looking over the walking street. It’s an old building but if you want an authentic and spacious option, this is the place. Apartment includes kitchen, living room and dining table.

Hilltop Apartment
A 700 year old building, hence no elevators. The apartment had an amazing view and a large living room. The bed was hard, old, and not so comfortable. We went to the restaurant for dinner twice and sat on the patio with breath taking views. The food is not excellent but good.

Right off main piazza with wonderful breakfast!
I stayed here for two nights with my husband, parents, and sister. We all had plenty of comfortable space. From the living room window, we could see right into the main piazza. There were plenty of toiletries and towels. The staff was very friendly and so helpful! Francesco organized a taxi pickup for us the night before we had to leave because we would be leaving early. He even packed an amazing breakfast for us since we would miss it the next morning! You must have dinner on the back patio and enjoy the gorgeous sunset (**and amazing food**)! I hope to return, and I'd recommend this place to anyone.

Lovely site that needs updating.
Montepulciano is a beautiful town and Osteria del Borgio gives one the experience of a traditional Italian stay. The owners are kind and receptive and the restaurant serves delicious food. The apartment we rented is in great need of renovation, however The furniture, cupboards, bathroom tiles, etc., are quite outdated, and the mattress springs could be felt when sleeping.

Eagle's View, lovely people
Montepulciano was amazing, and the Osteria del Borgo was wonderful. . . Tough for the physically challenged, however (no elevator), but the same could be said for Montepulciano in general.. We were given a beautiful apartment with incredible views, all for a very modest price. The service and the restaurant were top notch too.

Not suitable for seniors
We had a two bed 2 bath apt. 4 of the 5 of us are seniors. The steep stairs with no hand rails on some of the 4 or 5 flights up to the apartment, meant we could not bring up any suitcases. We opened our cases in the car and carried our overnite necessities in plastic bags. The restaurant does not open until 7, so if you like to eat early, you are out of luck.

Wonderful B&B in Mintepulciano
Loved our stay at this little B&B at the top of the old city. We were lucky enough to get the apartment with a view of the Tuscan countryside. Nothing short of stunning. This is in a 13th Century building so expect steps up to your room, but the hotel staff will take your luggage up for you. It is really big with plenty of room for my family of 4. Be sure to eat at their terrace restaurant. Wonderful food and views. We cannot wait to return to this family run B&B. Owners are amazing. English spoken fluently.

charming hotel with amazing views
we enjoyed our stay here. Great location for walking around town, wine tasting and eating, not to mention the amazing views you get from the hotel, your room and around. The restaurant and wine cellar are really good and have decent prices (remember to book a reservation early). Also, they offer easy parking options at no extra charge, important to explore other towns around. The only con was that our room did not have an attached bathroom and had to leave the room to access it. Overall, we loved our stay and will def come back.

The Best Small, Family Owned Hotel Ever!
We had the 2 floor penthouse suite in a 4 room hotel located in the center of an Italian Hill Town. The views from our windows were fantastic. The suite with it's living room with fireplace, kitchen and dining room and second floor bedroom and bath were made even better with a 2nd floor loft over the living room that you reached via bridge from the bedroom landing. The views from this level were even better that those from the living room. We cannot wait to return here in the future and would suggest the location to everyone who might be planning on staying in the area. We had a late lunch and did not eat dinner in their Osteria, but if the food was as good as their breakfast I am sure that is would have been great. The smells from the outdoor dining area that were wafting up to our room were mouth watering.

This is special, small gem of a hotel.
room was an apartment. large with living room, kitchen in the apartment (with full facilities), nice bathroom, comfortable bed. Located on 'main via' in Montepulciano. Very good restaurant attached. Great views from outside Terrace: sit outside if possible. Great wine selection, very good food. Excellent hospitality from owner and his family. Discount if you stay at hotel and eat at restaurant! we had a case of wine shipped home, too. They took care of all details. Very helpful. Made us feel at home. Our apartment overlooked main via but there is no traffic, especially after dark because this is small town so we opened windows for fresh air. Would absolutely return! Not pretentious but very nice and laid back.

Great getaway
The room was fantastic. Tons of space, clean, and beautiful. The staff was beyond amazing. They dropped everything to get us checked in and comfortably situated in our room. They got us reservations for what turned out to be an absolutely amazing dinner in their restaurant. One of the sons speaks excellent English and was there for our every need. The father and several other employees don't speak any English, but were incredibly patient and friendly as we stumbled through with our very minimal Italian. It was a little hard to find the location, but thankfully the gps knew were to go, you just have to trust it. Fabulous staff, fabulous hotel. We highly recommend it.

Excellent Hotel Suites - Highly Recommended
My wife and I recently stayed at Osteria del Borgo for a friend's wedding. The hotel, (big!) room suites, service, and location were all excellent. The staff was very friendly and helpful and even picked us up from the bus station late at night. The food downstairs in the restaurant was great and the terrace out back provided great food and wine with unbeatable views of the valley below. The room was huge and a great reprieve from the usual smaller hotel rooms. The room with a large kitchen and living room (in addition to bedroom) was all decorated in a Tuscan decor and made for a very relaxing stay (when the children weren't playing soccer in the neighboring square until midnight ;)). Cable TV was also nice to unwind with at night or catch up with news in the morning. All around, highly recommended.

don't skip montepulciano if you have the time
we loved montepulciano and the management at Osteria. we had dinner at their restaurant and it was superb. breakfast there was only fair though. the building itself and the village are charming and full of history. wine bars everywhere...wine cellars to visit...etruscan spirits everywhere! the apt we had was two story with a huge living room, full kitchen and 3 bedrooms! it was immaculately clean...and has wonderful medieval ambience with all the modern conveniences. only suggestion is that the beds are old and lumpy and not supportive...they feel a little like a sofa mattress. all 3 were that bad.
