Palazzo Colombi - Montepulciano

This 17th-century palace, tastefully renovated with meticulous attention to detail, is located in the heart of Montepulciano’s historic centre, 250 metres from Piazza Grande on Via del Poliziano, next to the birthplace of the great poet Angelo Ambrogini, known as Il Poliziano. The property is available for rent as a holiday home, and although it is in a central location, it is particularly quiet.

Already a prestigious hotel in 1876, the palace owes its name to the student who was born there, Cesare Colombi, a young university hero who actively participated in the famous Battle of Curtatone on May 29, 1848, and where he died. But many other notable figures also came to Montepulciano: from Garibaldi to Giuseppe Mazzini to Silvio Pellico. On the last Sunday in August, the famous barrel race, the “Bravio,” takes place—an event you can enjoy by looking out the windows of the property.

The apartment offers high-speed Wi-Fi and a smart TV. The numerous summer events, the Christmas markets, and the thermal baths in winter, along with Montepulciano’s Nobile wine and exquisite cuisine, as well as its proximity to the Val d’Orcia, Pienza, Cortona, and Lake Trasimeno, make Montepulciano a sought-after destination year-round.
