Where to Stay in Montalcino

WHERE TO STAY in and NEAR MONTALCINO for 2022

Sean Finelli Last Updated: November 8, 2021

Do you love wine, beautiful countryside views, earthy foods, and friendly people? If so, you likely already know about Montalcino which is a town & wine region near Siena in Tuscany. Personally, I love Montalcino and have visited countless times. Here are my recommendations of where to stay in Montalcino including the BEST HOTELS.


Our Partnership with Booking.com. If you like our content, please book by clicking on our Booking.com links. The price is the same for you and we get a small commission that helps support our blog. We’ve partnered with Booking.com because they have the most options, great prices, and a solid loyalty program. Just about every hotel is on Booking so our recommendations are not incentivized.

Where to Stay in Montalcino Including Hotels, Agriturismi, & Vineyards!

Montalcino is both a town and a wine region which makes it a little complicated to plan out where you should stay. Luckily you found our article and we are not only local experts for Montalcino but experts at organizing online content to make your decision-making processes easier. We’ve broken it down between staying in the village of Montalcino and in the countryside.

How long should you stay in Montalcino? I personally try and limit my visit to Montalcino to 2 nights. Why? If I stay any longer I will spend all my money on wine. Also, you basically drink the entire time you are there which can be taxing more than a couple of days.

The Village of Montalcino

Part of the draw to Italy are these mountaintop medieval towns that appear to be built on the same foundation. This is part of the reason Montalcino is such an attractive place to stay, but more so than that is the amazing wine producers in the area who create Brunello di Montalcino. It is an earthy wine that is dark and rich with flavor.

If you are looking to visit, you probably already know that. The town itself is gorgeous, walkable, and fun. If you are looking for inexpensive accommodation and lots of options, staying in Montalcino is likely for you. The key to a great stay is a great view, which is admittedly difficult to avoid. The hotel recommendations I have here are mostly focused on just that.

Why I love it

  • People go to Montalcino to drink so it is nice to have many walkable restaurant and bar choices instead of driving.
  • You can wake up and get breakfast at a local bar which I prefer over a hotel breakfast (cafe, fresh orange juice, e cornetto).
  • Lots of hotel and acccommodation choices.

Attractions Nearby

  • Fortress of Montalcino (has a cool restaurant)
  • Palazzo dei Priori
  • Belvedere di Montalcino

Best Restaurants

  • Boccon Divino (Personally favorite – amazing views)
  • Osticcio (Increedible)

Le Chiuse is one of my favorite vineyards in all of Montalcino. The estate is quaint and rustic. You can rent an apartment for 90€ – 100€ per night pay in cash at arrival. The apartments mostly have two bedrooms but you can see the details on their website. It’s not in “Montalcino town” but about a 15 min drive away.
