Drogheria & Locanda Franci

My husband and I recently stayed here to help celebrate a friend’s birthday. This is a charming B & B with an excellent staff. Prior to our arrival Sara was so helpful , making great recommendations for transportation, restaurants and a Tuscan cooking class/ lunch. The entire staff here are terrific and very responsive. Our room was well appointed and had a great, updated bathroom. The hotel is in a very good location right across the street from the fortress and near many good wine bars and restaurants. The breakfast is delicious with good variety. |This is an excellent choice if you are going to make Montalcino a base for exploring this gorgeous part of Tuscany

Amazing boutique hotel right next to the Fortezza. Sara is a wonderful host. I feel like I made a new friend. The views from our room “Castellana” were beautiful. The bathroom, with a bathtub and separate shower, is the size of a small apartment. Olive oil based beauty amenities were supplied.

Came here with my family for dinner on our last night in Montalcino and we absolutely adored everything. We had the best food (I need to recommend the Pici with boar ragù) and the service was exceptional! Emanuele, we love you and will be waiting to see you in Australia! His service was impeccable and he was absolutely incredible in his recommendations. Such an asset to this place! All the best🫶🏻

I came here with my family for dinner and everything was just divine. Service was impeccable and the attention to detail everyone puts in is really commendable. We were served by Emanuele and another one of his associates and we absolutely loved him 🫶🏻 Super courteous, exceptionally kind and funny. We’ll be waiting for you in Australia Ema!!! All the best in your wine endeavours ❤️

Everything about our stay at Locanda Franci was superb. We were greeted warmly and welcomed with sparkling wine and fresh fruit salad. The room was charming. The bath was beautiful and modern. Sara and the entire staff were kind and attentive, sparing no effort to make our stay wonderful. The breakfasts were delicious, as was the one dinner we ate there. The location cannot be beat. We can’t wait to return.

Really excellent experience from the moment I booked my reservation throughout checkout. Sarah was very helpful throughout and the whole team provided such wonderful, warm service. I was a great place to stay while visiting Montalcino - I look forward to returning.

We had a non-refundable booking that the hotel kindly cancelled free of charge without any hassle. This shows great customer orientation and very fair service. Thank you – we will be happy to stay here on another occasion.

What a pleasant surprise— found this restaurant basically by luck. Some of the nicest and most innovative food we’ve had on our trip (including Florence and Siena). Enthusiastic and knowledgeable service. Extensive wine collection. Well worth a side trip just to eat there.
