Podere Monti is a 16th century farmhouse nestled between woods and olive groves. It has been turned into a residence of refined charm that retains its atmosphere of informal welcome. The guest rooms are few but exquisitely furnished; each one has its own unique character and is named after one of the many artists who contributed to the rich cultural legacy of Montepulciano.
Podere Monti provides a high quality Bed & Breakfast service in the spirit and atmosphere of a private home.
The farmhouse has been meticulously restored and furnished with every comfort. There are two floors of living quarters and plenty of space both inside and out.
Guests can choose to relax in the shade of oak and cypress trees in the large garden surrounding the house, or they can bask in the glorious Tuscan sun beside the swimming pool, which is also equipped with hydromassage jets.
The beauty of the farmhouse, the quality of the furnishings, the warmth and hospitality of the owners and the tranquillity of the surroundings combine to make Podere Monti an exceptional “agriturismo” where guests can savour the art of living well naturally.
Breakfast
Breakfast is served in the bright, attractive dining room with its original Roman stone floor, discovered during the restoration of the farmhouse.
The owner serves breakfast personally, introducing you to the flavours of the region with food that is prepared from the finest quality, organic ingredients.
There’s freshly squeezed orange juice, homemade apple juice, a selection of the best local honey, fresh sheep’s milk ricotta from Pienza served with different flavoured honeys, and wonderful, homemade preserves of local plums, blackberries and figs, all prepared without sugar.
The bread is homemade using the finest whole grain flours and a long, slow leavening process.
There’s a delightful choice of teas and a selection of the finest quality coffees.
Homemade tarts and cakes round out this healthy and delicious breakfast.
Meals
At Podere Monti only breakfast is served unless requests are made in advance for other meals.
However, there are many good pubs and fine restaurants in the area and we would be delighted to advise you in your choice. Should you wish to have other meals prepared for you, our Italian-French chef, Maurizio, offers a range of dishes from traditional Tuscan cuisine to new and innovative approaches to gastronomic interpretation.
Te Wine Cellar
Podere Monti offers guests an impressive selection of the fine wines of Montepulciano. The owners are well acquainted with the wine growers of the region and their wine cellar comprises the very best of the local production. Guests have the opportunity to savour these fine wines, most of them from relatively small producers, while sitting in the garden or under the wisteria arbour – perhaps meditating on the sunset....
The landscape and environment of Montepulciano are among the greenest you can imagine, offering a life that is serene, relaxing and completely liberating. Nature in its pure abundance dominates every aspect of life here.
Soft, rolling hills delight the eyes and soothe the soul, beckoning visitors to wander, on foot, by bicycle or on horseback, "...where it is sweet to be shipwrecked."
The hills and valleys are dominated by olive groves and vineyards. Cultivation is still done using traditional methods therefore, the wines, oils and produce of the region are healthy, flavourful and worthy of being savoured.
Perched on a hill and nestled between woods, olive groves and a splendid countryside, Podere Monti is only 500 metres (roughly a third of a mile) from Sant Albino di Montepulciano in the heart of southern Tuscany. It's an excellent location from which to explore all of central Italy. The village of Montepulciano is only five minutes away by car and the nearest exit from the highway is only 15 minutes away.
Pienza, Montalcino, Bagno Vignoni, San Casciano dei Bagni, Monticchiello, Cetona, Cortona, Siena, Perugia, Orvieto, Arezzo, San Gimignano all are only an hour away by car. Even Florence and Rome can be easily reached from here by car or train.
