With air conditioning in every room, a kitchen, and two bedrooms with private bathrooms, it is located on the ground floor and is accessible to people with disabilities (with a specially equipped bathroom). It also features a private garden and parking. Right along the Via Francigena, it is just a stone’s throw from treasures like Pienza, Montepulciano, Montalcino, and renowned thermal towns such as Bagno Vignoni and Bagni San Filippo. From the private garden, overlooking the famous rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside, you can enter the kitchen/living area, furnished with a beautifully restored and repainted solid wood kitchen, finished with perfect country-style details. The space includes a drop-leaf table with four chairs and an antique sideboard that once belonged to my great-great-great-grandparents. The two bedrooms are accessible from the kitchen/living area: To the right, the larger bedroom (Betelgeuse) features a built-in wardrobe niche, a double bed (or two single beds), a writing corner, a smart monitor, and a spacious bathroom also equipped for people with disabilities. To the left, a slightly smaller bedroom (Bellatrix) has two single beds (not convertible into a double), a smart monitor, and a bathroom with a large, comfortable shower and a sink made from an antique copper basin. All bedside lamps are equipped with USB/USB-C sockets for charging phones and electronic devices. The private garden includes a table with an umbrella and, in the evening, offers an incredible starry sky—often revealing the Milky Way—where the Big Dipper and, of course, Orion dominate the eastern horizon for most of the year. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Wheelchair-accessible parking available ### Food and drink - Hob - Microwave ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - In-room accessibility - No lift (single-level property) - Single level property - Smooth flooring in public areas - Stair-free path to entrance - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118190000/118188200/118188115/e353531b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Terrace over poetry Toscana - Pet-friendly [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-21&endDate=2026-01-22&selected=118188115&PinnedHotelID=118188115&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/93000000/92440000/92435900/92435835/31bb8e34.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Farmhouse 'Il Greppo - Appartamento Sangiovese' with Shared Pool, Shared Garden and Air Conditioning Montepulciano - Pool - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning - Parking available 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-21&endDate=2026-01-22&selected=92435835&PinnedHotelID=92435835&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34360000/34353700/34353617/17e2a90c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Amazing Panorama in Monticchiello Monticchiello - Kitchen - Air-conditioning - Outdoor space - Parking available 10 Exceptional 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-21&endDate=2026-01-22&selected=34353617&PinnedHotelID=34353617&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/125000000/124120000/124117300/124117285/w2400h1799x0y0-de5fdc44.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Finestra Dell'Angelo in Pienza – Elegant Apartment with Stunning Views Pienza - Kitchen - Microwave £104 includes taxes & fees 20 Jan - 21 Jan [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-20&endDate=2026-01-21&selected=124117285&PinnedHotelID=124117285&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/23000000/22030000/22024100/22024086/w2042h1302x4y0-50da29d6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Pet friendly home in Montepulciano SI Montepulciano SI - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly - Parking available 6.0 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-21&endDate=2026-01-22&selected=22024086&PinnedHotelID=22024086&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96030000/96029000/96028973/9bd72ff8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Casa gli Ulivi: New cozy apartment, a few kilometers from Montepulciano.
