Montepulciano: 5 smart tips before booking

1) Pick the right area for your travel style

For the true village vibe, stay inside the historic center (note: steps and limited access).
For easier logistics, consider just outside the walls or properties with simpler access.

2) Always check parking and ZTL rules

Montepulciano has a limited-traffic zone (ZTL) that can be confusing.
Make sure you know where you can drive, and where the nearest parking is. Clear instructions are a game changer.

3) Confirm access details (self check-in / timings)

Ask in advance about:

• Check-in / check-out time

• Whether self check-in is available and how it works

• Luggage storage options before/after your stay

4) Double-check what’s included (and what isn’t)

Look for key details such as:

• Heating/air conditioning (season matters!)

• Reliable Wi-Fi

• Linens and final cleaning included

• Any extra fees (pets, additional guests)

5) Book early for peak dates

Weekends, spring/summer, harvest season and holidays sell out fast—book early if your dates are fixed.
If you’re flexible, you can often find better deals mid-week.
