Hotel Description
In the highest and oldest part of the old city of Montepulciano, Italy, a historic boutique hotel shines in the glamour of days gone by. Precious antiques, a romantic ambience, and an intimate atmosphere turn the bed & breakfast hotel La Locanda di San Francesco into the perfect hotel for your vacation in Tuscany.The La Locanda di San Francesco
The romantic hotel La Locanda di San Francesco sits at one of the prettiest squares of Montepulciano, a magical and historic little town in the southeast of Tuscany. The Piazza San Francesco is the typical square of late medieval times: most of the buildings on site stem from the Renaissance, even though the history of Montepulciano goes back to the year 715 BC. Fitting to the historic character of the place, the Hotel La Locanda di San Francesco is full of Italian history – this goes for both the building and the furnishings. The palazzo of the La Locanda di San Francesco rises from the old wall encircling the oldest part of the old city and used to be connected with its neighbor and namesake, the San Francesco church. During the careful restoration of the building, one discovered old gothic church portals, secret rooms, and antique bell towers. Choice antiques and authentic furnishings turn the La Locanda di San Francesco into a historic hotel par excellence.
The rooms in this bed & breakfast in Tuscany
La Locanda di San Francesco offers just four rooms, all of which are in the first floor of the building. Even considering individual layout and interior, all have the same amenities. This romantic boutique hotel offers air conditioning, a mini bar, safe, and telephone on the one hand, on the other also modern comforts such as a 21 inch LCD monitor, a television with satellite reception, and internet connection. The historic structure is present in all the rooms in the La Locanda di San Francesco in Montepulciano and has been integrated into the interior. This also includes the “secret room” discovered during the renovation work in the suite—what romance! There are the old walls and archways left over from the old church, assuring a romantic and historic ambience throughout.
A wine shop with inbuilt art gallery
The La Locanda di San Francesco also includes the wine shop “…e lucevan le stelle.” Housed in the same building as this bed & breakfast hotel, it offers spectacular views of Tuscan sunsets, historic ambience (two walls show antique windows and archways from the 14th century), and, of course, tasty wines. To accompany this, you are served a couple of various culinary delicacies here.

One wall of the spacious room is common with the Church of San Francesco and reveals much about the history of the building, such as the brickwork arch behind the bed that is a vestige of the large stone arches of the church. Inside the suite we find La stanza segreta, brought to light during the
restoration and reached by a spiral staircase. It has a common wall with the church and has been turned into a pleasant sitting room with an unexpected glimpse of the Val di Chiana. The access hatch to the bell tower is now covered by a plate of glass built into the terracotta floor. The king size bed (1.9 mt wide) in the master bedroom was crafted by a
local artisan. The bathroom will take your breath away. You will be struck by the gothic brick arch, portal of the church of San Francesco and brought to light during restoration, which is reflected in the mirror covering the opposite wall. The large circular shower, the double wash basin embedded into the arch, and the splendid window that dominates the Piazza make this room unique.
