Hotels with Breakfast in Monticchiello

Six of us stayed at this villa in monticchiello. the villa and grounds are absolutely beautiful. each room had its own bathroom. HUGE property. we used it as a home base as well as made dinner one night. we were there five days. Guido and his Aunt Sonia made us ALOT of coffee in the morning, we had yogurt, toast, pastries and eggs and bacon every morning. MOST importantly, our trip to this area could not have been as incredible without GUIDO helping us plan our itinerary, find drivers for friends dropping in, recommending villages, towns, restaurants, vineyards. We will miss this property but we will absolutely come back and visit these people. absolutely incredible place to stay.
