At the border of the town of Montepulciano, in an extremely convenient location 100 m from the San Biagio crossroad (which is a necessary point of passage to reach Val d’Orcia), we find this 27-key hotel with restaurant and wellness center.
The hotel allows easily moving throughout Tuscany, visiting the region’s most beautiful and renowned towns and cities: Montepulciano (380m; 2’), the papal Pienza (12km; 15’), Montalcino with its Brunello wine (34km; 40’), the Etruscan town of Cortona (34km; 45’), Tuoro sul Trasimeno (36km; 40’), Castiglion Fiorentino (40km; 50’), Siena (63km; 1h), Orvieto (67km; 1h), the turreted San Gimignano (108km; 1h 30’), the Renaissant city center of Florence (112km; 1h 35’), Volterra (115km; 1h 45’), Lucca (190km; 2h 15’) and Pisa with its famous leaning tower (193km; 2h 25’).
A notable point for the property is the presence of A1 junctions nearby: Valdichiana-Bettolle (15km, leading north) and Querce al Pino (25km, leading south). The closest train stations are Montepulciano Stazione (9km) and Chiusi (25km).
The most convenient airports to reach the property are Perugia Sant’Egidio (76km; 1h 5’), Grosseto Baccarini (95km; 1h 30’), Firenze Vespucci (129km; 1h 35’), Roma Ciampino (189km; 2h 15’), Pisa Galilei (190km; 2h 15’), Roma Fiumicino (204km; 2h 10’) and Bologna Marconi (211km; 2h 25’).
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDING
The hotel (2,516 sqm – 27,072 sqft, 27 bedrooms and 34 bathrooms) is laid out onto four floors, all linked together by an elevator.
- Basement: here we find a beautiful wellness center made up of an ample pool room (90 sqm) with whirlwind tub, a three-module Sasha Jacuzzi (sauna, Turkish bath and emotional shower), brine grotto, chromo-therapy stone cave, Kneipp cure facility and relax area. The floor is completed by an ample garage, cellars, storage rooms, three bathrooms and technical rooms.

The building was completed in 2000 and is in excellent structural and aesthetic conditions. Interiors are modern and provided with all the 21st-century comforts. Bedrooms are all equipped with balcony/terrace where one can enjoy a wonderful view over Val d’Orcia.
EXTERIOR
The hotel boasts a small garden (roughly 800 sqm – 0.2 ac) accessed from the wellness center and a small parking lot located just next to the building (in conjunction with an indoor parking area located underground).
Just outside the parking lot is located a bus stop for the Pollicino bus service which can be used to reach the historic centre of Montepulciano, right in the Piazza Grande.
USE AND POTENTIAL USES
Up until now, the restaurant and the wellness center have been exploited exclusively in conjunction with the hotel, limiting their use to the guests of the structure. The restaurant, in particular, is mainly used as a breakfast room. It is however possible to make the two services available to external customers, potentially increasing the income generated by the property.
What’s more, the hotel could also be a starting point for enogastronomic tourism, thanks to the many wineries producing Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG wines and Chianina breeding farms on the surrounding hills.
Right next to the hotel is located a building plot (zoned for commercial use), with possibility of building approximately 300 sqm of buildings, but currently exploited as a parking area for the hotel. Price for the plot is 400.000 €.
