"Every corner of Tuscany has its partisans, surely, but there’s no place quite like Montalcino, famous for the walled hilltop city, its idyllic surroundings, and the region’s coveted Sangiovese Grosso wines. And to that list of attractions you can add at least one extraordinary place to stay. Villa le Prata - Residenza del Vescovo is a scant five minutes’ drive from the city walls, and it’s as pure an introduction to the delights of Tuscan countryside living as you could possibly ask for." - Tablet Hotels
