Antica Dimora Patrizia

We came across this hotel at the last minute after being disappointed with other accommodation we had booked. So we travelled to the hotel to check it out and immediately saw that it would make our last three days in Tuscany memorable and booked the only available room there and then starting that night. Francesca is a wonderful host making us feel very welcome and with excellent recommendations for restaurants and wine tasting. Perhaps some of the electrical and bathroom fixtures and fittings are in need of some attention but these small issues are easily overlooked because of the gorgeous rooms and communal areas including a very nice loft area to relax with lovely views. Breakfast was another highlight, cereals, yoghurt, breads, meat, cheese, eggs and especially a large variety of home made cakes. Montecarlo is a very pretty small village in the heart of a wine growing region with several very good restaurants, a tourist information office and a few nice shops. We plan to return.

Part of one of our periodic three day trips around mainland Tuscany with our two Beagles. Montecarlo is a charming little village with an ancient fortress and this beautiful historic hotel owned and run by Francesca and Flávio. A great experience from start to finish. Thank you both !

Perfect for when you want to 'get away from it all', but still be close enough to everything. The house is gorgeous, the rooms lovely. the homemade cakes for breakfast were the best I've had in Italy. I wanted to try them all! The welcome is very, very warm, and Aphrodite (spelling?) was so kind. She even made us a "celebration muffin" for our anniversary :)
