Montecchio was an amazing experience for my wife and I and are two kids. I highly recommend it for a great Italy/Tuscany experience - food, wine, enjoyment, history, and more. For us, three things stood out - the house & grounds, the broader location, and the services. Starting with the services, we had a full time concierge who was fantastic. She had booked great places prior to our arrival, balancing travel, good food, relaxation, etc - is was the perfect balance. And as some of our plans changed, she was readily available. In terms of the place, the house and surrounding greats were simply amazing. The house is beautiful with all the necessary supplies, and the yard, wildlife, and pool were fantastic. Upon approaching the villa, you drive through a long road surrounded by Cypress trees. The location was great...Montecchio is within 10 minutes drive to 3 great villages all of which have great restaurants including michelin star high end ones and more casual settings. Further, there is a really good winery literally within a 5 minute walk of the house, highly recommend this. You are in the heart of tuscany with many great wineries very close by, and being less than 30 minutes from Siena was a major selling point for us. If you are visiting Italy and want a brilliant experience with all that Italy has to offer, stay here - you won't be disappointed. Ryan
My Response
Thank you so much Ryan! You really have summarised exactly why we bought Montecchio 15 years ago! We are spoilt foodies, who have been fortunate enought see many beautiful parts of the world, and Montecchio, in it's setting, on the highest point of an historic wine estate, compares with anywhere.
We offer our guests the opportunity to share our "dolce vita" for a time, and you clearly made the most of it. Thank you for realising that Rita, who provides our Complimentary Concierge, really is 5 star!
Do come again!
