Palazzo Mosela Alla Porta was a lovely, cosy accommodation for my stay in Montepulciano. The room was delightful, characterful, comfortable, and within walking distance of everything in Montepulciano. Being at the entrance to the town it’s easy to find. But the outstanding element is the service. Valentina and the staff were quick to engage with me via WhatsApp and went to great lengths to make sure I had a great experience. Valentina was wonderfully friendly and helped reserve great restaurants and suggested wonderful cellars to visit. The level of support and hospitality here makes this accommodation really outstanding.

It was very difficult to find. It would’ve been helpful to have instructions on the parking situation. The room smells very strongly of a heavy perfume. It was almost unbearable. Was very cold the heater did not work, and there was nobody to help. We had somebody from a nearby restaurant actually follow us to the hotel room to try to figure out the heater, unsuccessfully. Staff is only there for short period in the morning. Ludo when he was, there was friendly and helpful

Our room had a nice little balcony with a great view of the Tuscan hillside. Although this hotel is inside the walled city parking is OK just outside the wall and a short walk. Most of the time there are no office staff here. So your keys may be left in an envelope at reception.

2 couples had rooms 3 & 4. We stayed in Oct from Tues-Friday. This Hotel is convenient, Ludo was responsive, the room is large, had good air conditioning and shower had great pressure. This hotel is affiliated with a couple restaurants and enotecas. The good news is that they were amazing. The Porto di Bacco enoteca is directly across the street and has amazing wine expert. They are also a restaurant. We are at Antica di Trattoria Marzocco which was also delish. (Need reservations) the free breakfast is up the street at Pilazzo Avignonesi. They open before 8 and the service is exceptional. Selection of pastries was extensive If I had to pick this hotel apart it will be because 1) the mattress pad is vinyl which made it hotter than necessary and 2) the hairdryer for long hair is small and cheap. A few $’s from the owners could solve these issues easily. These is no elevator. But the town itself doesn’t either. The hotel is on the street. We are heavy sleepers so the nighttime dinner crowd did not bother us. I had no problem getting to sleep. Room 4 has a nice sitting area and if you open the windows you’ll get a cross breeze. Overall, this place was inexpensive and perfect for us.

Mrs. P.
Check in and check out poor. No orientation. Confused because we thought we were above or attached to winery. When we found winery ourselves, we were treated poorly, not offered tastings. No tables available. Not given info on where to go to breakfast, none of other guests were either. We were all looking for “envelope” with vouchers which weren’t there. We all wandered around, finally cleaning lady let us know where to go but venue wanted vouchers. Worst was we were told we needed to book taxi day ahead to ensure service, and she would book for us. Turns out it wasnt booked but she said she could get a taxi half hour before our train was leaving. Must have been a friend not taxi, passed a taxi stand on way with plenty of taxis, her “friend” charged us $25 Euro’s to go 4kilometers. Loved the location and room. Service poor or non existent.

Good location
The hotel has a great location however we had a bad experience getting to the hotel and there wasn’t anyone there to greet us. We had to look in automated emails from the hotel for instructions telling us that the girl that works there was at a different restaurant etc etc I wish they at least had a note at the hotel letting guests know about that I’m English because it is a very touristic area and we do not speak Italian. They give you a coupon for breakfast at some other restaurant that we could t use because they weren’t opened yet. Besides that the location si great and we were lucky enough to find parking about two blocks from the hotel for 10€ x day

Great location but lots lacking.
Really average stay, considering the price tag! Great location and view, but all else lacking. Small room, no bedside tables at all - nowhere to place water/phone etc next to the bed. Nowhere to put suitcase in the bedroom except on the floor. Only one place to plug in phone charger, near the door, sharing the fridge powerpoint. No surface around the bathroom vanity. No iron. "Breakfast included" was quite a joke... a voucher for the cafeteria around the corner, with very little ambience and no mobile reception. The voucher included a croissant (selling at €1.10) with one coffee and one small bottled fruit juice. No water included. Really below expectations when you pay €160 per night 'including breakfast'! The website pic of coffee with a view is certainly not the breakfast room as there isn't one on the property. Reception lady was very helpful (in approving a refund for the second night) but reception was mostly unmanned and hard to reach... I saw other guests often waiting for assistance as well, until someone showed up.

Location is great, wonderful view and just inside the arch as you enter this beautiful town. However, there are many steep and narrow steps to get to rooms and no elevator. And the breakfast that comes with the room is at a restaurant half a mile or so away _ not at the hotel. No coffee available in the room or at the hotel, not even instant coffee. These negatives would have made me rethink staying here.

Just inside the wall and close to everything.
Pros: Friendly service and assistance provided. Clean, modern bath, comfy bed, great location. Cons: Parking (try the lot outside the gate by the pharmacy- between white lines is free). No lift and some rooms on third floor. Room 3 has a set of creaky wooden stairs into the bathroom. Overall, the location wins.

A great stay in a great location.
Ideal location to visit a remarkable city. Hotel is just inside the city wall at a main entry. Parking is difficult to find. Try the pay lot by the tourist info building. Parking between white lines is free. Our room was on the third floor with no elevator. The bed was comfortable but other furniture is dated. Modern washroom. Room 3 has creaky wood steps up into the washroom. Service was friendly for both checkin and room cleaning. There are a multitude of fabulous restaurants, shops, wine bars, etc. within a minute’s walk. We would definitely come back!

Meat Locker in Montepulciano - Terrible Service
The heating unit in the room is not adequate enough to heat the room properly and our room stayed around 50 degrees F during our entire stay. The WiFi stopped working. Our neighbors were definitely smoking in their room. We had a cold shower and we could not figure out where breakfast was served. Unfortunately we also could not find any staff to help us with any of the issues we were having within the hotel and through email we were consistently told how to operate the heater, which we were already doing properly. I spent the entire night freezing and left the hotel one-night early due to the rude staff when I complained via email. I travel often and never have found staff so unhelpful or rude.

Dear Guest, we are sorry you found our staff "unhelpful or rude". We checked with a technical the heating unit but he found it perfeclty working, also when our cleaner went in your room, it was heated. The WiFi unfortunately that night had a problem that we fixed in the morning before. About your neighbors, in our property smoking is forbidden and they left the palace before we could warn them. We do want our guest to spend a beautiful holiday in Montepulciano and we would like you to use the night you left free of charge. Best Regards

Tuscan gem
We found this hotel excellent value for money, the staff, Martina was extremely pleasant and helpful. The room was a typically Tuscan but very clean, spacious with an excellent bathroom and first class shower, good pressure and good supply of hot water. The bed was comfortable and spacious. Breakfast was off site about a 5 min walk, basic continental breakfast but adequate. Location was good at the bottom of the hill of the main street in montepulciano 2 good restaurants located within metres of the hotel. Car parking good for an hilltop city, use P1 free all day if you park in the white lines not blue ones.
