Great small inn at the top of beautiful Montepulciano. We arrived without most of our luggage and Cinzia really went to bat for us. She spoke with the airline, helped collect our bags, and drove me into town to get a cell phone charger. She could not have been more helpful. The room was large, with great amenities. Good internet... more

We had a wonderful stay at La Locanda di San Franceso. The room was stunning and the amenities were first rate. Quiet location just off a secluded piazza. The one night we stayed, the adjoining wine bar/jazz club was deserted as it was off season for tourists so don't know if there would be a problem with noise. Senora was... more

Locanda San Francesco is ideal in many ways. It can be challenging to stay inside of a hilltop town, but here, it has been made possible. Directions were good and there is parking available. There are wonderful restaurants nearby and cooking classes and that extra special touch of personal care given to each guest that is more than appreciated after... more

A wonderful place to spend our honeymoon. Emails were promptly returned as we were planning our trip, and the staff kindly directed us to their family winery, wonderful local restaurants, and a Sunday wine tasting in Montalcino. Above and beyond, before we set foot in the hotel! We arrived during a festival and the staff helped us find parking. The... more

La Locanda lives up to the hype of the other TripAdvisor posts, and then exeeds the expectations. Cinzia and Luca are terrific hosts, but it's their attention to detail that propels this property past the rest. Like many other travelers, our 3 nights here our favorite stop on a 12 night Italy tour. The views alone are worth the price....and... more

We only stayed for 1 night. The views from our room and the bathroom were incredible! The room was very clean. The owner(s) was friendly and ran the bar/restaurant next door. We had drinks and dinner on the deck while watching the sunset. The food was good and priced well. Next time we are in Montepulciano, we'll definitely be back. more

Superb room with stunning views on the terracotta roofs of Montepulicano and on the surroundings. We immediately felt at home and spent a lot of time enjoying the "fare niente" on the terrasse of the wine bar attached, tasting local wines, and other delicasies. All this, with the warmth, hospitality and helpfulness of our hosts, Cinzia and Luca who made... more

I don't want to reiterate what everyone else has said, but they are 100% correct. Not only was Montepulciano the nicest and most quaint of all the hill towns we visited (Siena, Pienza, Montalcino, San Quirico d'Orcia), but the Locanda was out of this world. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. In fact, I asked Cinzia to call... more
