Description
The Locanda (small hotel) San Francesco, a wonderfully refurbished 14th century palazzo, sits above the historical centre of Montepulciano looking onto one of the most beautiful squares in town, the  Piazza San Francesco.  The views from the hotel extend out across gorgeous Tuscan valleys to the Lakes of Trasimeno, Chiusi and Montepulciano.

This small "hotel" has just 4 rooms - two suites and two superior doubles, all of them light filled, and luxuriously furnished.

La Locanda di San Francesco occupies what was once the Oratorio di Sant’Emidio e della Misericordia, rising above the ancient city walls that surround the oldest part of Montepulciano. It is attached to the 14th
century church of Saint Francis and dominates the square of the same name.

Careful restoration, commissioned and supervised with great passion by the present owners, has brought to life the historic gothic portal of the church, secret rooms and ancient bell towers, giving new life to the
building and the whole square.

The rooms are situated on the first floor and are fitted with independent air conditioning, bar fridge, 21” LCD satellite TV, telephone and internet connection. Beds are queen or king size and each room is personalised by sophisticated and exclusive furnishings. High quality parquet and elegant fabrics complete the atmosphere.

The '…e lucevan le stelle' wine bar-bistro and La Locanda di San Francesco are under the same ownership and situated in the same building that faces onto Piazza San Francesco. Enter through the two magnificent wooden doors to an extensive  panoramic terrace to enjoy the Tuscan sun from early morning and to admire unforgettable sunsets over
the Val D’Orcia.

Taste prized Tuscan wines, well-know Italian and French wines, and some of the best specialities of the local cuisine in the wine bar whose stone walls reveal  traces of ancient windows and 14th century arches, the perfect setting for periodic art exhibitions.
