This was a great location for staying in Montepulciano--right on one of the main walking streets, Gracciano nel Corso. Our host Amadeo went above and beyond helping us get around, trying to park the car, with restaurant recommendations, etc. Our room had a quiet patio attached, which was pleasant at night. Rooms were mostly quiet. They only complaints we had were that the bed and bedding were harder and flatter than we would have liked, and that you really need directions to come to the gate on the lower end of town for parking. To his credit, Amadeo tried to contact me with directions, but there was an error in my phone number in Expedia. Driving in town is an absolute terror show for Americans used to wide roads, so make sure you know what you're getting into.
So--great central place to stay in what we thought was the prettiest Tuscan hill town. Only drawbacks were the beds, the parking situation, and that breakfast was an extra cost.
