Make the Fairy Tale Real!
A slice of Paradise! This is a spectacular Villa with gorgeous grounds that include an amazing pool and hot tub. They have a very lovely restaurant in which they service breakfast and dinner. We took advantage of their romantic dinner for 2 in their private room. The most romantic evening my wife and I have ever had. The staff were wonderful. The villa is less than a Kilometer from Montapulciano and a number of wonderful wineries that make Vin Nobili. (Villa Cicolino also make it - and it is delicious) If you want to have the fairy tale of a Under the Tuscan Sun vacation become reality - Stay at Villa Cicolina

Nice property
Beautiful property with amazing views of the Tuscany countryside. Close proximity to downtown Montepulciano - convenient. Delicious free breakfast buffet. Pool area is wonderful with gorgeous views and lots of shaded spots if desired to rest, read, play board games. Room could be more comfortable. Air conditioning unit is to small for the space it is expected to cool. A ceiling fan to circulate the air would help. Mattress on the bed is very firm. As side sleepers this was uncomfortable for us and we woke up in pain each day.

Amazing place! Staff is friendly and always there to answer our questions. Restaurant is delicious! Rooms are spacious. The only comment I have is the pool was not heated neither the spa. So unfortunately, we couldn't use it during our stay.

This was a very special place for my husband and me. We felt relaxed and pampered in a perfect Italian countryside environment. A friend recommended it to me and she was spot on! The grounds were beautiful, the rooms were special, and the separate dining room made you feel like you were in the heart of Tuscany....because you are! You are 2 miles from downtown Montelpulciano, 40 min from Montalcino, 40 from Sienna, and close to the most wonderful vineyards. We ate and drank our way through the region, talked with winemakers and restaurant owners and loved the relaxed and beautiful scenery. You must stay at Villa Cicolina!

Lovely stay at Villa Cicolina
Vila Cicolina is a great choice / base for exploring Tuscany and the beautiful Montepulciano. The food in the restaurant is great, and there are options nearby if you fancy somewhere else. The junior suite was huge and really lovely, though some of the furnishings (even soft) a little dated. The grounds and views are gorgeous, and great for a day relaxing by the lovely pool. My only comment would be this hotel lacked the 'service' experience, and would benefit from drinks service at the pool (for example) or a more present concierge. Overall, I enjoyed my time here.

Thank you very much for your kind review, we are happy that you enjoyed your stay. We don't have somebody at the pool for drinks because we respect our guests' privacy and we don't want to be a hassle for our guests that we want to sell food and drinks, as you could see, if anybody needs something, he can simply come to the reception and ask for and there is always the staff available to accommodate. It is a choice, not a lack of service experience. Best regards Sayed Villa Cicolina

Lovely grounds, staff, and location
Great location just outside of the main village of Montepulciano. Service was excellent and super friendly. Restaurant was superb, one of the best dinners we had in the area. Breakfast was wonderful with lots of options. The views and grounds are stunning though just good to know that the pool and tub are not heated.

Great little stop just outside Montepulciano.
Amazing little spot just outside of Montepulciano. Definitely a drive-in & out of place as its a 2km walk to other points of interest. However, if the intent is to just chill out and relax there, its really nice. The service was outstanding, very helpful and friendly throughout.

Amazing property!
What a beautiful villa overlooking the Tuscany countryside! The staff is amazingly friendly and the cooking class was so much fun! What a great break in our busy travels. The grounds were immaculate and the suites are so comfortable and very well appointed. Thought went into every detail of this property inside and out to make it the perfect retreat! Highly recommend!

A hidden gem.
Quiet and somewhat secluded the grounds were nice and the staff very polite and helpful. The best part is having breakfast or dinner in the hotels restaurant. It is a beautiful experience with great food and the privacy of a exclusive restaurant with 8 tables and excellent service.

Beautiful Hotel in Tuscany
Loved, loved, loved this hotel. We booked one of the Junior Suites and was planning to only stay 2 nights. The minute we got into the room, we extended our stay by another night. The location and property is absolutely gorgeous, they have an on-site restaurant with an abundant breakfast buffet every morning and one of the best dinners in Italy we had. The staff are super-freindly and wecloming and they handled our dietary restrictions very well. Would definitely come back.

Great villa.
Beautiful place, gorgeous room, amazing view and pool, great staff. The only thing I did not like was the bed: very hard mattress. Otherwise, a great villa to stay. Also, make sure you get a specific address that your GPS recognizes as it does not recognize their address.

Great Hotel with Great Price
The grounds of the hotel were beautiful. It was early May and everything was in bloom. The staff take very good care of the grounds and you can tell. The room was very large and beautiful. Hotel staff are all very friendly and eager to help you. Meals were also excellent and the setting for dinner was quaint and elegant yet comfortable. Location is great unless you do not have a car, otherwise you will be walking or taking a cab. We were able to get around by taxi without a problem, but cost does rack up. We were within walking distance to the wineries we were touring and you are not far from Montepulciano. I think the hotel is worth the price. Pool area was pretty, not sure if the hot tube is a true hot tube, it was cold when we were there; however it was a bit before the season. We were able to call a day before our stay to see if we could book another night, luckily we were and they were happy to have us. The Hotel's website does not do it justice, pictures lack true beauty and elegance of the hotel. Its really a gem. I would highly recommend this hotel to my friends. We were a couple, amongst other couples, however there was another couple with older teen sons whom seemed to be enjoying themselves. I would not really recommend this hotel for children. We enjoyed every minute of this hotel!

We loved our stay at beautiful Villa Cicolina! It was wonderful -- the grounds were so well cared for with lovely flowers and views at every turn. The staff were very personable and professional. Both the service and food were excellent. The pool alone merits at least another stay there -- and we do hope to return! (It was a bit hard to find, but then we got lost everywhere in Italy; it was worth it when we arrived.)

Villa Cicolina -- I'd return in a heartbeat
Villa Cicolina was one of the most pleasant, pretty and friendly placed I have stayed in a long time. The location was great - accessible and close but not in the heart of the old town crush. Everywhere you turned you saw attention to detail and little touches that just made it more special than a generic Inn or hotel. The service was top notch -- warm, friendly and helpful.
