Home Away from Home
Gessica and Bernardino have created a wonderful space for guests. Bernardino was so gracious to save us a spot in the public parking lot when meeting us for check-in, and he transported our luggage to the apartment while we walked up the stairs to town - it became a well-worn path during our stay. We were first struck by how incredibly clean and well-appointed the property was upon check-in; and the sunrise view...simply wonderful. While cozy, the kitchen had everything we needed to be comfortable. We left town nearly every day to explore the region, but returned each evening for apertivos (highly recommend visiting Victor at E Lucevan le Stelle) and dinner (Rosso Rubino Trattoria, practically across the street from the apartment, has the most AMAZING in-house prepared gnocchi). You will not lack for dining options when staying here. Frederico at De' Ricci Cantine Storiche provided a wonderful cave tour and tasting; be sure to visit Talosa to see their cave as well; definitly stop by Enoteca Consorzio Vino Nobile to see the ruins discovered ruins during it's construction, relax while watching the sunset, and enjoy a variety of wine from the region. Thank you, Gessica and Bernardino, for opening this family property to us for part of our 2024 FRamily Winecation. We truly enjoyed our stay and hope to see you again in the future! With Appreciation, The Wetmores and Gales

Staying inside the walls of Montepulciano is an experience in itself. Montepulciano is simply magical. The apartment is in a prime location with easy access to the many restaurants, shops and historic sites in the town. If you have a vehicle it is also reasonably close to your parking area which is outside the walls. The apartment was very clean and nicely equipped. The view from the terrace was breathtaking. The pictures on VRBO are accurate, but you really will be amazed at the style of the apartment. Gessica and Berardino were very good hosts and very nice people. The only suggestion our adult party of four would make is that they really should consider another comfortable chair in the living room. It was a bit of a tight squeeze for our liking. Apart from that it is an excellent place to stay.

The Best of Montepulciano
This place is amazing in every aspect. Upon arrival, the hosts (Gessica and Berardino) are gracious and accommodating, splendid people. The apartment is very smartly designed with an artistic look that is elegant. The bedrooms are comfortable, the bathrooms clean, the kitchen well stocked, and plenty of room to relax. The very best, however, is the patio that looks east to the hills of Tuscany. You can find plenty of restaurants immediately outside your door and no shortage of wonderful Vino Nobile de Montepulciano. It doesn't get any better than here.

Gessica & Berardino are top of the line hosts! We were in communication before arrival & Ber met us and took our belongings to the apartment. The apartment gives you the best of both worlds. The stunning Tuscan countryside and a lovely Montelpulciano street on the other side. Everything is at your fingertips & all within walking. The apartment is relaxing, very clean and has all amenities you need. This is the place to stay. Our family is in Montelpulciano every few years and we will always stay here from now on!!

Terrific Tuscan New Year
Everything I read in past reviews was spot on. Bernardino greeted as you would a dear friend. He gave us a walk thru of the beautiful apartment and great information about what to do in Montepulciano. The apartment is very well appointed and with all the amenities one could want. We truly felt we were coming home each night. The view from the terrace is absolutely spectacular. Thanks again for making our stay so memorable. We couldn’t ’ t think of a better place to ring in the new year!

Wow! Amazing view. Great apartment. Excellent hosts
My husband and I stayed at gessica and Berardino’s place for five days during our honeymoon in Italy. We can’t say enough about how great it was. The place was gorgeous and gessica was very responsive and able to give us advice when we needed it. Berardino was very helpful when we signed in. He told us everything we needed to know, and gave us a tour showing us where everything was. He made us feel at home right away. This apartment is right in the middle of everything in the historic centre of Montepulciano. Well worth the climb up the hill. We can’t stop talking about the view from the balcony. We loved our stay and would love to go back again! Thank you so much.

What a joy to stay in this beautifully restored home! Gessica and Berardino are perfect hosts- they respond quickly and provide excellent advice. A highlight for our guys was expresso and good conversation with B at his bike shop! As others say, the location can’t be beat. Good food and shopping right out your door. And be sure to experience all 3 ancient wineries in town. We highly recommend Montepulciano for a Tuscany stay. So beautiful. So memorable.

Words fail! Perfect place !
This is a true story. We told ourselves we had to stop just walking around the spacious apartment admiring it’s beauty and get out to see the town and surrounding countryside Speaking of that..our host suggested a 3 day itinerary which we followed. It was delightful! And so was the bottle of red wine waiting for us ! We so enjoyed meeting the couples sweet new baby and Gessica’s father. Check out her art gallery and Gerardo’s Urban Bikery. You wont be disappointed. If this review sounds effusive it’s because it is. We were so sad to leave. We cant imagine a better place to stay. Also.. a special thanks to Gerardo for insisting on carrying our very heavy bags !!

Fabulous Apartment in Great Location
This was definitively the best property we stayed at during our two weeks traveling around Italy. The apartment is beautiful and the owners went above and beyond with taking care of us during our stay. Upon arriving the owners met us at our car and took all of our luggage into the apartment for us. After traveling all day it was so nice to have the help. The apartment is in the perfect location to explore Montepulciano and neighboring areas. It is gorgeous inside and beautifully decorated. Even prettier in person then the pictures show. There is a really nice back patio with an amazing view overlooking the hills of Tuscany. We loved just sitting out on the patio at night and enjoying the beauty of the area. Hosts are so nice and so helpful and always willing to help us out with anything we needed. They recommended great restaurants to eat at, wineries to visit, areas to explore and things to do in the area. We absolutely loved them and I can not say enough about how much they did for us. I would highly recommend this apartment for anyone planning a visit to Montepulciano.

Perfect in Tuscany
Our dream two-week Italian vacation is in the books and I can’t say enough about our lodging in Montepulcino, Tuscany. Cerca D’ Autore is fabulous. Located on a clean and tidy avenue the apartment is spacious and gorgeous only two blocks from the main Piazza. A light and airy place with all the essentials for two couples was perfect. And Montepulcino is a great jumping off point to explore the Tuscan towns and countryside. Our hosts, Gessica and Berardino were terrific and quick to help if we had any questions. It just couldn’t be easier to give this lodging 5 stars.
