Fattoria San Martino

Perched on a gentle hill just 800 meters from Montepulciano’s walled center, Fattoria San Martino overlooks the Val di Chiana. Steps from Colonna del Marzocco and a short drive to Piazza Grande, this Tuscan farm stay is about an hour from Florence. Pet-friendly and family-friendly, it mixes rural calm with town access.

The pale-yellow, three-storey villa was restored with lime, wood, stone and beeswax for a natural, lived-in feel. Four large guestrooms, decorated with handmade wooden pieces, local antiques and upcycled finds, include touches like Frette sheets, down comforters and some rooms with private pools. The working five-hectare farm produces olive oil, vegetables and fruit and supplies much of the house's organic breakfast.

Swim in a seasonal outdoor pool or slip into a private guest plunge pool. Relax on the terrace and in the gardens, book a massage, picnic on the grounds or arrange local tours at the desk. Wedding services, babysitting (surcharge), free self-parking, complimentary Wi‑Fi and multilingual staff round out the practical perks.

A 646 sq ft (60 m²) meeting space and a small conference room make the property event-ready. Guests also benefit from express check-in/out, luggage storage and complimentary wireless internet.

On-site restaurant serves breakfast and dinner with farm-sourced ingredients and organic touches. Al n. 3 Cucina di Verdure offers vegetarian plates, a bar/lounge and garden-side alfresco dining; room service is available and a complimentary continental breakfast is served daily.
