    A bit tatty and the usual clutter loved by Tuscans! Not minimalist in any way …

    Very good location in Montalcino, close to the centre of things. Good comfortable bed, excellent shower, great breakfast, easy and subsidised parking.

    Excellent location, public parking very close (at a good price). The house is great, we could see the attention to all details. Guests can enjoy coffee, water and a small sweets in the kitchen. The breakfast is available at a bar nearby and we loved it. There are plenty of choices (both sweet and sour) and you can stay in a room with excellent panoramic view. Fulvia is super nice and helpful.

    This property is like a home away from home. So many homey touches in addition to well thought out perks for a traveller. The room we had was large with wonderful antique furniture, a sparkling modern bathroom with a great shower and high end shower products. Very quiet and central. If that wasn’t enough, our hostess, Fulvia, provides a completely stocked kitchen available for guests and fruit, cookies, cakes, and drinks. Amazing generosity! Good bar breakfast provided also.

    Would have liked a firm chair to sit in for my tired back. Although if I had asked for one I’m sure I would have been provided one.

    Quiet, flexible host allowing me to stay until the afternoon to catch my bus when leaving. Very responsive to things that came up. The location was a bit more residential which allowed me to be more into the community as a tourist. And at the same time, right in the middle of stores: wine, groceries, restaurants, etc.

    Nothing - it was perfect!

    We had a party of 6 so we rented the entire guethouse which was amazing. Very cozy and authentic guesthouse with big rooms, each with own bath. The host provided also bottled water, coffee and tea, and a big assortment of amazing pastries/cookies for us to enjoy. Location is amazing - right in the heart of the city. We rented with breakfast included, which was a charming outdoor cafe right across the street. Our host Fulvia was amazing - always available for questions/advice.

    If possible, I would rate Idolina with more than 10. The room is very clean and cozy decorated, right in the center of Montalcino. Great cookies were waiting for us in the kitchen. We had a great dinner at IL Moro restaurant, based on Fulvia recommendations. We highly recommend Fulvia's cozy accommodation. Breakfast was a good one, in a restaurant with an amazing view.

    Room was darker, smaller and older than it looked in the photos.

    This place was very authentic, comfortable and quiet yet centrally located. Parking was fairly close by, free, and clear instructions were given. The owner was lovely and keen to make sure we had everything we wanted. We liked the Free breakfast at the cafe in the park and extra pastries available.

    Nothing!

    Such a beautiful and authentic property. When we stayed there were no other guests so we had the kitchen to ourselves. It is just above a lovely shop of the owner and the beds are comfy. It’s in an excellent location and breakfast was in a choice of two places. Belvedere had an incredible view, and the other is in a gorgeous garden next door. The host is so lovely and accommodating- she met us on our arrival and brought us tea and other bits. She kept in touch with us throughout and was so lovely. She also left us a fruit pie for our arrival.

Very yummy pastries upon arrival are available in the living area. Breakfast was included and served in the cafe of your choice: garden In the summer or in front of a stunning view inside in winter. Possibility to store bicycles. Central location. The perfect place to stay, highly recommended!
