ステッレ ディ モンテ

I stumbled upon this small family owned hotel while researching our 10th anniversary trip to Italy. We wanted to spend some time in the Tuscan hill towns, and chose Montepulciano as our base. WOW!! I cannot say enough about this hotel. Nathalie and Igor have a slice of heaven here. They greeted us upon arrival and Igor gave us a thorough tour with history of the property and it's restoration. They poured their heart and soul into this place and it does not go unnoticed. Every detail is amazing! The views of Montepulciano cannot be beat and we enjoyed sitting out back and relaxing to take it all in. The room was by far the nicest with comfortable bed, spacious bath, shower and tub. There is in room coffee and they provided a bottle of wine for our stay. Breakfast is included with room rate and it is amazing with fresh juice, coffee and pretty much anything you would want. If you go, DO NOT MISS the dinner that Igor prepares, as it was the best dinner we had in all of Italy!! The hospitality shown by Nathalie and Igor made us feel like family. I would not hesitate to book this hotel every time we go to Italy.

We stayed at Stelle di Monte for three nights at the tail end of our Italy tour and it was by far the best experience we could have asked for. Let me begin by saying how absolutely lucky we are to have found this gem, all of the five-star reviews are well deserved and more. The love and attention the Nathalie and Igor pour into this property is overflowing and can be felt by everyone who stays here. The hotel itself is in one of the most beautiful areas of Tuscany, with gorgeous views from every angle, but truly the best part of our stay with the hospitably provided and how we were treated not just as guests but as friends. Prior to arriving at the property Nathalie was always easily reachable and communicative though the booking process, she also provided us a list of recommendations for restaurants, wineries, and activities to do in the area (absolutely must use there are so many great recommendations on this). Once we arrived Igor greeted us personally with a glass of wine in the cellar and walked us around the property, explained the history of the renovations, and showed us to our room. We had dinner on site the first night there and it is a must do while staying here! The food was delicious (lots of truffle!), and they had many local wines on their wine list, some of the vineyards we got to visit later on in our trip! Nathalie and Igor also personally ran the dinner and breakfast services and were always available to chat about anything you needed. At the end of our stay Nathalie also helped us with organizing our return taxi to the train station and even waited with us while they were running late to ensure we would make our connection on time; truly amazing hospitably to the very last minute we left. I truly cannot recommend this hotel enough, it is a must stay in Montepulciano! Hopefully one day we will be lucky to return; best of luck on all future endeavors to Nathalie and Igor and Stelle di Monte!!

Stelle Di Monte is truly one of a kind! This place is right out of a storybook. Our room was gorgeous, with an area outside to sit and enjoy the beautiful view of the Tuscan hills and Montepulciano. Nathalie and Igor are such gracious hosts and highly recommend making dinner reservations. We had dinner both nights and I can honestly say they were the best we have ever had. We look forward to staying at this magical place again!
