Albergo Il Giglio

We had an unplanned stay in Montalcino as our hire car broke down nearby one Sunday and we were unable to arrange recovery.until the following day. We were rescued by a Montalcinan vineyard owner who kindly drove us to Il Giglio. We were quite stressed but the hotel was lovely and comfortable, the view amazing and the town very beautiful. Lovely as the town and hotel are, what was even more impressive were the efforts of Michele and his Mum (from the hote)l in translating phone calls, helping us to arrange recovery of our car and driving us out to meet the recovery vehicle. They could not have been more helpful. We arrived in Montalcino during a festival and had a fabulous stay. It ended up being one of the highlights of our Tuscan holiday. The town itself is stunningly beautiful but we were so much more impressed by the kindness of its residents. A truly lovely experience. I can't recommend the town, the people we met or the hotel highly enough

Nothing it was lovely.

Great location in Montalcino with a beautiful view! The breakfast included was delicious, and the staff was friendly and let us bring breakfast up to our room. Staff helped us with a map and places to stop on our drive through the Val d’Orcia. The AC was strong. We loved reading about the property in the card in the room.

The only (small) issue was that small fruit flies congregated in the bathtub. We were able to wash them down the drain, and the bathroom was very clean but I think the humidity brought the small flies.

Our experience at this hotel was one of the most enjoyable parts of our trip. It is just the type of place you imagine when you think of wine country in Italy. It was an absolute highlight for us, and we enjoyed our stay immensely. The hotel is quaint and romantic with beautiful views over the surrounding countryside. We were fortunate to be able to dine at the on-site restaurant on the one evening we stayed. It was an absolutely memorable meal in every way. The extensive wine list will please even the most discerning wine lovers. The breakfast looked and smelled amazing, but unfortunately, we had to leave before it was ready in the morning. We were able to enjoy an espresso and some biscotti before departing, however. We are excited about returning to this hotel and Montalcino very soon!

It seems petty to even mention this but the beds were quite hard, as most beds in Italy seem to be. Despite that, we were able to get a good night's sleep. The church bells in a nearby tower chimed throughout the night which was soothing to me, but some may not enjoy that.

Location is excellent. Hospitality is highly pro - gentility and thoughtfulness towards guest needs. The hotel owners and staff are attentive, discreet/low-keyed, and welcoming. I had small single room with 140cm bed - very comfortable bedding, quiet, classic Tuscan deco (quality), well-appointed small bathroom (shower/bidet/sink/wc) with window. Breakfast room - beautiful views from large bay windows.

I liked everything about the hotel. I would gladly return there.

Good location. Old building maintained well and kept in the classic style..which is good. Had everything I needed. Clean and comfortable. A/C worked. Owners kind and helpful. The hotel restaurant ( dinner only) is very good. Good wine selection. They parked my car for $5.00! I enjoyed my stay. I slept in so I missed breakfast. Can’t comment.

Everything was good! Oh, they could use newer towels.

The property is a delightful reflection of this beautiful town of Montalcino! The location is excellent and all of the furnishings and amenities were perfect. Staff was most accommodating and facility has everything needed. Valet parking offered within this zone restricted location - that deserves a 10 right there!!! My only regret was staying for one night.

The location of the hotel can't be beat, and the views from the outward facing rooms are amazing. The breakfast was generous and delicious, with a huge selection of cakes. Overall it's a lovely little spot with an elegant but homey vibe.

It can be difficult driving around Montalcino! Best to bring the car to the hotel and let them park it.

The location was perfect! We drove into town and the owner parked our car in the garage for us. We did not need the car again until we departed. The town is very walkable with lots of restaurants, wine bars, and shops nearby. We booked a taxi to visit several nearby wineries and they were able to pick up / drop off right at the door of the hotel. Breakfast was very good with beautiful views from the dining room. We traveled with our dog who was also welcome in all areas of the hotel.

great service from the staff they were ALL very nice and it’s great to see they work very hard. the room I was given was beautiful and had the most fantastic view. dinner in the restaurant was great and our waiter informed us of the regional speciality. car parking is off site and the management will move the car to and from for you. i would definitely stay here again

the bed was a little hard

The location was superb, our hosts were warm, friendly and very accommodating. We arrived late on a Wednesday night but they assured us that we could put our luggage away and then come down to the restaurant - where we proceeded to have one of the best meals of our holiday accompanied by a great bottle of Brunello recommended by our host. Breakfast was lovely, the rooms were simple with everything we needed including air conditioning.
