Set in a fourteenth century palazzo in the heart of the old part of Montepulciano, and with breathtaking views over the Val d'Orcia and the Val di Chiana, the Locanda San Francesco offers an exclusive destination for those who want a holiday with a difference in one of Tuscany's most beautiful hill-towns.
La Locanda di San Francesco offer 4 rooms and wine tastings.
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 San Francesco 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.
The Locanda has just four bedrooms, each of them decorated individually and furnished with fine antiques from the family collection. On one side the rooms offer panoramic views of the Val d'Orcia, while on the other they look over the rooftops of the town towards the Val di Chiana, and as far as the lakes of Trasimeno, Montepulciano and Chiusi.
The Locanda San Francesco is the ideal starting point for discovering Tuscany. By car you can reach Pienza, San Quirico D’Orcia, Chiusi, Cortona or Arezzo in half an hour, Siena , Perugia or Orvieto in less than an hour.

The wine bar - bistrot 'E lucevan le stelle' ('And the stars shone') is situated on the ground floor. A number of small seating areas are distributed around the long brass-topped bar, creating an atmosphere which is both intimate and open, even cosmopolitan, and where everyone can feel at ease. The terrace on the Piazza San Francesco is the ideal place for enjoying lunch in the Tuscan sunshine, or for savouring an apéritif in the warm glow of a summer sunset. Maybe a jazz concert will accompany your dinner, or you may simply relax on the sofas and admire the artwork on display while sipping a glass of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. The wine cellars are open from March to October.

Suite
Delight in the charming atmosphere of the suite. One wall of the spacious room is common with the church of Saint Francis and reveals much of 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 secreta, 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 and rope go are now covered by a sheet of glass let 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 Saint Francis 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 square make this room unique. Contact Details
