You can see from the design and detail of the place and from talking to them that they have truly put all of their passion into making this Guesthouse a wonderful place to stay. The rooms are extremely spacious, clean and filled with mod cons yet have a warm homely feel about them. The outdoor areas also have that modern but homely feel and the place oozes character whilst keeping you relaxed. Upon check in I was a little earlier than I had communicated but this was not a problem for David and Toby and they gave me a warm welcome. I was shown around the property and then left to relax with a complimentary beer. The breakfast made by Toby each morning has a variety of cooked foods, meats, cheeses, pastries, yogurts and cereal. Everything I had was delicious, the cinnamon rolls were a particular delight which I mentioned to them both and when I returned later that day they had left a couple of extra ones in my room! They both greet you like you are family and talk about the day ahead and your plans - all these nice...

Upon check in I was a little earlier than I had communicated but this was not a problem for David and Toby and they gave me a warm welcome. I was shown around the property and then left to relax with a complimentary beer. The breakfast made by Toby each morning has a variety of cooked foods, meats, cheeses, pastries, yogurts and cereal. Everything I had was delicious, the cinnamon rolls were a particular delight which I mentioned to them both and when I returned later that day they had left a couple of extra ones in my room! They both greet you like you are family and talk about the day ahead and your plans - all these nice little personal touches make the experience extra special.

Communicating with the guys before arriving they kindly booked dinner for me in Montepulciano for both nights and didn't hesitate to help when I asked one to be changed. They both know the area and restaurants extremely well and can give you many recommendations.

You will definitely need a car to stay here, I did the walk into Montepulciano one night as I had driven all day and whilst pleasant going past the nearby vineyards it took around 35 minutes with some hills included which could prove difficult for some. Driving into Montepulciano is quick and easy from the property though and David and Toby can happily recommend the best car parks to use.

Overall I had a fantastic stay at this mind-blowingly beautiful property with superb and conscientious hosts... and I've not even mentioned the views which deserve their own review!

If you ever go to the beautiful town of Montepulciano, make the Fonte Martino your number one place to stay. More read less

The attention to detail in each suite from USB ports, high end branded shower gels, crisp clean sheets and additional touches were fabulous. The place was spotlessly clean. We even received welcoming drinks at our door. The hosts, David and Toby, are incredibly welcoming and helpful, providing great recommendations and bookings for the beautiful Montepulciano. Tobys quiches are not to be missed! I would highly recommend this place. read less

We hebben een paar nachten doorgebracht wat een feest op zich was. Prachtige vergezichten en een zeer comfortabele accommodatie. David en Toby bezorgen je een paar fantastische dagen waarbij niets teveel is. Adviseren je de beste en mooiste plekjes in Toscane en Umbrië. Zij weten in ieder geval wat de hemel op aarde is.

Eine sehr ruhige Lage zum Abschalten und relaxen...Toby& David sind zwei sehr herzliche, aufmerksame und nette Gastgeber, sie machen alles selber und geben Tips für Restaurants, Ausflüge oder Sehenwürdigkeiten. Dazu haben sie einen tollen Geschmack, die Gebäude und Zimmer sowie der parkähnliche Garten wurde von ihnen ausgestattet bzw. geplant. Die Anlage hat etwas sehr beruhigendes und Spirituelles. Die Einrichtung der insgesamt 3 Suiten ist sehr geschmackvoll und sehr wertig, es fehlt wirklich an nichts! Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und es fiel uns schwer, abzureisen. Es gibt absolut nichts zu beanstanden! read less
