Lees meerMy husband and I were fortunate enough to have been gifted a stay at Fonte Martino for our honeymoon. I say "fortunate" not only because the Guest House is *the* most luxurious stay we've ever had, but also because we probably would not have found Montepulciano on our own. It's a smallish hilltop town steeped in Medieval and Renaissance history; it has an urban flair but is still very much in the hands of the locals, so we knew that we were getting an authentic Tuscan experience. The Guest House is a short drive from Montepulciano, but we (avid hikers) were happy to walk roughly 30 minutes whenever we wanted to go into town. If it weren't for the beautiful views of Montepulciano right outside our door, there would be no reason to leave the suites. The suites are spacious and warm with both rustic and modern touches. The beds and pillows are comfy, making sleeping in all too easy, and the showers are big enough to land a small plane in. Some items in the suites testify to David and Toby's attention to their guest's needs, from the umbrellas available in case of rain to the lint roller in the closet. Breakfast was served each morning buffet-style and homemade, including hot quiches with different veggies each day and fresh pastries. I loved the zucchini bread so much that Toby even shared the recipe, which has been in his family...

David and Toby are the perfect hosts. They received us warmly and showed us around the property, which includes a pool, yoga deck, and bocce ball court, all with stunning views of Montepulciano. Their enthusiasm for their work is clearly evident, and they are eager to share their favorite spots in and around Montepulciano. From them, we received dinner recommendations (and David's assistance making reservations since we don't speak Italian); parking advice (in Cortona and Siena as well as Montepulciano); and local tips (like other hilltop towns in the area that we could explore, or where we could see Etruscan ruins). I also secretly asked David and Toby if we could do something special for my husband's birthday, so they ordered a cake from a local bakery that was as beautiful as it was delicious.

If there is a problem with Fonte Martino, it's this: all of our future holidays will pale in comparison now that we've stayed here. More Lees minder

Toby and David are amazing. They have turned this estate into an elegant, while at the same time comfortable retreat. They are wonderful hosts, and attend to everything you need. The rooms are stylish and immaculate, and the view is like none other. When we checked in, we asked for suggestions on dining and necessities. By the time we had gotten to our room, I received 5 links from Toby with all of our questions answered. The breakfast was to die for, and we felt safe and well cared for. Please, don't go anywhere else...and we will be back. Lees minder

Lees meerDreams come true… Fonte Martino is a wonderful place with an amazing view of Montepulciano. Everything there is perfect. David & Toby are special hosts, so nice and kind in each situation. Our Siena Suite was magical, romantic and fantastic in each detail. The breakfast is really yummy, everyday we had new recipes to taste. Fonte Martino is an elegant place to be in peace and relax, it was a great stay for us and we will come back for sure. Fairy tales still exist! Lees minder

Possibly the best place to stay in Tuscany!!! Wow!! I cannot say enough great things about Fonte Martino! It starts with David and Toby. Such amazing people/host!... Lees meerWow!! I cannot say enough great things about Fonte Martino! It starts with David and Toby. Such amazing people/host! They both went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They helped us secure dinner reservations, gave us things to see, and were always open to sit down and just chat about anything and everything. They really make you feel like a friend and not just a guest.

The property itself is gorgeous! To get there you travel down a farm road then arrive at a beautiful gate. But the real beauty is up the hill. They both have created a resort style feel at their home. The rooms are very large and amazing, with everything one could need. They also have a beautiful pool and sitting areas around the property for anyone to just enjoy themselves and relax.

And last, let’s talk about the town, Montepulciano! Forget driving to Florence or other bigger towns nearby, because this town is remarkable. It’s very lively with tons of food and shopping, and the views are like no other.

The only bad thing about this place was having to leave. The rooms, the pool, the town, and the hosts were just amazing! When my wife and I return to Italy, we we’ll be returning here.

Thanks for everything David and Toby! More Lees minder

Lees meerMy boyfriend and I stayed a couple of days at Fonte Martino in beginning of august. We loved every minute of it. Toby and David were the perfect guest, very loving and welcoming. It felt like home immediately! David and Toby went out of their way to accommodate us. They booked our restaurants for day of arrival and made sure we went to all the right restaurants and wineries the rest of our stay. I didn’t need to book 1 thing!
As the perfect hosts, they have just the right balance between being present and available for a talk and giving you privacy.

Breakfast; plenty of choice, homemade sweets and lovely warm dish that changes every day

Location: amazing, amazing, amazing

The rooms are amazing, full of details (little sweets every afternoon, prefilled ironing machine, enough coat hangers, nice music to welcome you to the room) great beds & shower.

What more can you ask for!

Definitely staying here again when we’re in Tuscany. In the meantime, recommending it to everyone I know! More Lees minder

Lees meerFantastic find, one of our favorite stays on our trip through Italy. The property is absolutely gorgeous, the rooms are private, plush and quiet, the view of Montepulciano looks straight out of a movie, and David and Toby are the consummate hosts. I will add, as wonderful as it is to immerse fully in the Italian experience, being an American it was great to have American hosts who have tailored this property for the expectations and comforts we expect in a 5 star resort. We can't wait to come back. Lees minder

The entire layout of the estate on the top on of those typical Tuscan hills, the landscaping with the serpentine driveway and the most gorgeous view of Montepulciano once you have reached the Guest House are nothing but breathtaking.
And you might find yourself holding your breath a couple of times more - like when you check out the new, top notch, lavishly luxurios and sqeaky clean suites, like when you´re in the pool looking at Montepulciano during the day or the stars during the night (no cannonballing into the pool though). And it goes on and on when you discover the hidden Yoga-place, the not so hidden Boccia-area or the greenhouse, where the owners of Fonte Martino grow their own fruit and veggies.
But probably the most breathtaking experience might be how unbelievably friendly, hospitable and charming Toby and David are, indulging every guest every day!
So be warned - once you´ve been to the paradise of FONTE MARTINO, you:
1.) are most certainly spoiled for any other location!
2.) you might not wanna leave again and therefore
3.) you might rethink your life hwo to change it to make Fonte Martino you permanent residence.
We certainly did! More Lees minder
