Si Montalcino Hotel & Restaurant

the pool and the view is great. close to the Montalcino center, nevertheless to walk I think it's too far. about 35 mins walk per direction and hills. parking spaces are available. the restaurant is permanently closed. breakfast is nice but the staff feeled a little bit overwhelmed when asking for something, even though it was not full and busy at the time we where there. reception service is very good. they called for us the wineries and helped with reservations for the tastings and tours. we received recommendations when checking in and my result is the recommendations have been perfect 😊

unfortunately all the room balconies have not the nice view on the valley s but the street

The multi-storied Si Montalcino Hotel (air-conditioned; served by an elevator; on-site parking) is located up on the hillside at the quiet south end of the quaint hill-top town Montalcino, the center of the Brunello Wine Country. It is only a short 5 minute/1 mile drive from the hotel to the Parcheggio Piazzale Fortezza (free after 20:00 hours), close to the town's center. Our nice & clean room faced the hill, the french door opens to a small, walled and private terrace which we took advantage of. The bed was comfortable, the spacious bathroom was clean and offered an awesome view of the country side. The excellent breakfast with myriad choices will satisfy everyone. We extend special thanks to the staff at the reception desk who checked us in quickly and with a smile, then spent a great deal of time not only to point out restaurants which best would meet our expectations, but also to make the reservation for us. This was not expected, but very much appreciated since the hotel's restaurant was closed because of lack of staffing. We enjoyed an al fresco dinner at the Osteria di Porta al Cassero at tables set up in Via Ricasoli, only 150 ft/46 m distant from the Parcheggio Piazzale Fortezza.

The hotel is located on the hill due to which there is an absolutely stunning and breathtaking view, which can be admired from both the pool or a breakfast table. The breakfast was rich with a variety of both sweet and savory options. The room had a perfect size and the backyard garden was lovely. Also, you can walk to the centre of Montalcino and it takes no longer than 15 minutes, which gives you an amazing opportunity to taste a variety of local wines. Lastly, I would like to highlight the fact that there was a mosquito net, which was really appreciated.

Absolutely nothing, everything was truly exceptional.

Hotel is spacious, rooms are very comfortable, perfectly clean and the staff will assist you with whatever you need. We received lots of advice about the area, suggestions where to eat and even encouragement to try some of the local delicacies. Breakfast was exceptional- we never needed lunch, and because we were checking out really early, the staff gave us a “take-out” breakfast for the journey. The hotel is perfectly located to visit all of the “tourist” Tuscan towns. But in my opinion don’t do it! We loved Montalcino (we walked from the hotel but it’s a steep climb on the way back). We also went to Bagno Vinoni an ancient hot springs, and great visit, and the Abbey of Sant Antimo (free to visit with a cute monastery shop where you can buy herb liquors and other curiosities and we loved Buonconvento a real Tuscan town where people lived. We also visited Montelpuciano and San Gimignano (long drives and crawling with tourists like us, don’t do it! unless you like wall to wall shops and tour guides and gelateria).

Lovely view from the room. Very comfortable bed. Pool very clean. Lots of clean pool towels every day. Breakfast excellent, plenty of choice. Staff very friendly and helpful especially when our shower wasn't working properly. They were also very helpful with information about restaurants and booking them for us also suggesting some great places to visit.

Our shower was cold for 2 days but the owners went out of their way to get it fixed as quickly as possible.

Where do you start, there’s so much to love about this hotel. It really is a gem. The views from the pool area and hotel rooms and balconies across the Val D’Orcia are to die for. But it was the whole experience from check in and the amazing hosts through to check out, they couldn’t have been more helpful. The breakfast was wonderful - rate 10/10 - and staff were so friendly and helpful. Rooms were a good size, spotlessly clean and well equipped. It was a beautiful, relaxing stay in a beautiful hotel just a stone’s throw from Montalcino, with other places just a short drive away.

Nothing! Everything was perfect!

Lovely little place on the outskirts of Montalcino with a great swimming pool. The staff were fantastic, it was my birthday and they unexpectedly gave us a bottle of Prosecco which was a lovely surprise and totally appreciated. Our room had a great little external terrace and it was an enjoyable 20 minute walk into town.

Breakfast was lovely but a little chaotic and there was not much selection for the later arrivals. Frustrating when people monopolise the pool loungers and then disappear for hours at a time leaving their clothes and towels draped over them. It was only a small area and difficult to find a spot under these circumstances.

What a beautiful hotel just outside of Montalcino! We enjoyed lounging by the pool after a day of driving and wine tasting, and even had a small terrace off our room. The rooms were comfortable and the bathroom was well appointed and beautifully lighted from the outside. The breakfast options were the best that we encountered on our three-week trip in Italy.

The beds could have been a bit more comfortable.

We enjoyed our stay here. Although it's in need of some updating, the hotel made the perfect stay & we would recommend it. Big windows which opened to a beautiful view. We had a car so access to town was easy, parking was always available. Great pool area, after a hot day sightseeing. Breakfast was good (not included), and they made a great coffee!

No kettle or access to tea/coffee or hot water

We really liked the location, in a quiet area but still close to centre. The hotel as well is very nice, spacious bedroom and very good breakfast with plenty of choices to choose from. Homemade cakes were amazing!! We arrived earlier than check in time but the room was ready which we really appreciated. The staff was very polite and kind throughout our stay.

We used the pool in the afternoon but it was dirty, it wasn’t pleasant; full of flies and hair. Also, I’m not sure if is mentioned when booking but the restaurant is closed for lunch and dinner. When we arrived we hoped to eat something there but it was closed therefore we had to take again the car and go to the centre which the receptionist recommended few places.
