Everything is well discribed.

A very nice hotel in Tuscany.
Very quiet, but after all well situated, near to Montepulciano city, and not so far from a lot of sights in Tuscany.
A very good breakfast, and an affordable kitchen for dinner.
(The reduction for hotelguests is very sympathic)
The swimming-pool is well situated and well maintained.
The rooms are very nice, with airco and a nice bathroom.
A place to recommend.

Our stay couldn't have been better. Louisa, the receptionist/owner and her husband, the restaurant owner were very welcoming and accomodating for our stay. They made suggestions as to what towns to visit, how to get there and Louisa helped translate to the Taxi driver for us, and to the restaurant on what we'd like to eat. The rooms were exceptional, the pool was a bonus, the breakfast and dinner was delicious... etc... We would recommend the place to anyone wanting to stay in Tuscany. We visited Montepulciano and heard that it is the best wine in Italy! Thanks for the experience!
...
It's not within walking distance to any towns. It's a $15 taxi back and forth. Very well worth it. Or rent a car.
...
Just as I explained, above, in the comments about our stay.

The appartment (suite) was large, very clean, additional blankets and pillows were available, a fridge was also available, our room was cleaned during our breakfast (1/2 hour), everything was class 1 and over
...
We had a free «degustation» of the wines and olive oils, plus very keen advices on the area and roads to take to get to the interesting points. Excellent touristic information. A very good and convivial restaurant on the site is available and very convenient. As compared to other agro-tourismo adresses, it was not 4 km off the town on a gravel, tortuous road. Very accessible.
...
A very good agro-tourismo adress that I would not be afraid to recommend.

A very enjoyable experience was made even better by the helpful and friendly staff - especially Louisa.
We would recommend this place to anybody without hesitation. A peaceful and relaxing stay in the heart of beautiful countryside. The avaialability of a fine restaraunt on site was welcome and the food and service here was again exemplary. All aspects of the accomodation and the facilities (including the pool) were excellent. A lot of nice touches - eg. decent crockery and pans for self catering. We all loved the place.

This was a great spot that was very conveniently located in Tuscany. The restaurant and their wines were quite good. The owners have a lovely St. Bernard with whom we fell in love. I would recommend.

The value was great. We were all quite please witih the bill.

It is located a little close to a highway, so if possible, request a room toward the back.

We had a very warm welcome by the owner who spoke perfect English and made us feel at home.
...
The room we stayed in was large and well maintained. The property at the villa was beautiful and attention was paid to details such as nice flower pots and trees planted.They have done a beautiful job of renovating this very old property.
...
the resturant is a lovely dining room and the staff made you feel comfortable. the food was average and I would have wanted some better reasonable priced and simple local foods instead of what was served. We ate there 2 times and would have difficulty recommending it over a local resturant in the neareast town.
...
Generally we thought this was an excellent place with lots of ambiance and well run by friendly and courteous owners. It was a good value and we would recommend it to others. Good location.

There is a very bussy road in front of the property.
This makes sleeping with the windows opened (because of the heat)almost impossible after 5 am.

The property is close to a main road.

Excellent value for your money.

When we arrived nobody was in the reception area - the owners were busy in the restaurant.
When they realized we had arrived, everything went smoohtly, but it was a bit confusing for us for a few minutes.
...
The description includes 'Bed sofa in the kitchen'. It was actually a chair.
...
I expected to pay more for the heating.
...
Villa Nottola is in a very convenient location. It is not in a remote area. It is adjacent to well-travelled paved roads. It is very easy to start any journey - the roadway is very near. As a consequence of its location, there is some traffic noise most of the time. It did not bother us, but others might prefer a quieter setting.
...
I highly recommend Villa Nottola. The accomodations are very good; the people are friendly and accomodating; the location is excellent for travelling to most places in Tuscany. The on-site wine store and restaurant are additional positive features.

There were quite a few large bugs in our room and that was rather disturbing. This was probably causes by leaving the windows open.
...
The farmhouse did not feel like a true farmhouse. It was a bit too modern compared to other farmhouses we had visited. The staff were rather cold and did not smile much.

Everything we read on the website was correct but when we were there, the feeling was better. The quietness, the beautiful rooms, the great food and wines...

The road near Villa Nottola is a bit noisy and people drive very hard there. We didn't not really have a problem with it but there were guest who didn't like the busy traffic in the early morning.

The facilities, the staff and the surroundings are great. The food and wines were delicious. We really had a wonderful time. The owners work very hard, are helpful and friendly. They really make you feel like wanting to come back!

Our baggage was lost by BA. Luisa handled all communication with Roma airport and delivery company. Her attention to this matter allowed us to erase the bad feelings and begin our vacation on a postiive note:
THANK YOU LUISA FOR THE HOSPITALITY AND CARE!

The restaurant was exceptional. Many locals were dining with the guests. Wholesome food and warm, friendly service from the staff and owners.

More info about the Tuscan villages and sites nearby the Hotel (ie Montepulciano). Proximity to Siena.
Note: car is a must.

The amenties are modern with a touch of antiquity. Great views of the Tuscan countryside. Active winery and olive oil production on site.

We arrived late due to traffic problems through Florence, but even though they advertised they closed at 7:00, both Louisa and Guiseppe were there to greet us when we finally arrived around 9:00.....and the garden restaurant served us a much-needed and lovely dinner even though we arrived so late!
...
We LOVED Villa Nottola and wondered why we hadn't seen it written up in more 'online' info, i.e. trip advisor, etc.....I would highly highly recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in this area. It is so lovely and close to Montepulciano, and within driving distance of so many other popular areas. Luisa and Guiseppe were wonderful hosts.....the room was fabulous, the pool divine after a hot day of sightseeing, and we enjoyed our garden dinners the most of all our dinners in Tuscany! I would definitely stay here again in future and recommend it to anyone.
...
No problems with checking out, other than being sad to go!
...
Most of the information was provided as far as I can tell.
...
As noted above, our hosts were wonderful and helpful and anticipated our needs. The rooms were well-equipped and modern/clean. The pool was lovely and the gardens/grounds kept beautifully. We loved the fact that Montepulciano was only about 5 minutes away, so we could 'pop' into town anytime, and that Villa Nottola was within driving distance of so many other popular areas of Tuscany, i.e. Cortona, Montalcino, Pienza, etc., and is in an area that is so beautiful it looks like pictures you see in a magazine!

Directions to Villa Nottola are a bit confusing. Coming from Rome, they should indicate that you go to Montepulciano rather than towards it. We turned before the town on a road that was marked Aquaviva and got a bit lost.
...
Our room at Villa Nottola was very spacious and the bathroom was huge! The room was very clean and comfortable. The orange walls were a bit bright, but the decor in general was tasteful. The breakfast offered a good variety of choices, including breads, cakes, muffins, yogurt, fruit, juices, coffee, etc. We also enjoyed the restaurant for dinner on two evenings.
The owner was very friendly and helpful. A huge breakfast tray was delivered to our room on our last evening because we had to leave at 6:00 AM the next morning to drive back to Rome for our flight home.
We visited in March, so the pool was not open, but the grounds were very attractive.
We highly recommend the Villa Nottola.

We checked in smoothly.
The master of Villa Nottola guided us to the room. He showed us the room, restaurant and
office building kindly.
He also explained us the hours of breakfast,
lunch, dinner at the restaurant.
...
We drove to Villa Nottola by a rental car.
Villa Nottola has a large parking lot and
we did not feel any parking problems.
In general, in Tuscany areas, especially at
hotels in the center of old towns, many
hotels do not have their own parking lot.
So, at Villa Nottola, we did not worry about the parking problems at all.
...
We checked out smoothly.
...
The restaurant as well as the wine were
excellent. We enjoyed tasting the tuscan
foods and Nobile de Montepulciano at Villa
Nottola.
Employees at the restaurant were kind and
very polite (speaking in English).
We had dinners at Villa Nottola every night.
...
We like Villa Nottola very much.
People at Villa Nottola are very kind and
nice. Our room was very clean and quiet.
Surrounded by charming vineyards and hills,
not far from Montelpuciano.
We recommend friends to stay at Villa
Nottola, especially for those people who love
Tuscan vineyards and farm views.

They were very nice and spoke english or italian and clearly explained everything. A nice sheet with times of restaurnant, breakfast and cleaning clearly indicated.

Great location at a cross roads. Only thing I would improve is the comfort of the mattresses and a key on an outer door to the hall leading to the rooms took us 5 minutes to get open. We were worried we would not get it open before everyone left for the night.

wine and olice oil tasting is 16:30-18:30, reservations are recommended for dinner. no screens on the windows,

We approached from Montepulciano (not the
A1) so we did overshoot and doubled back
but was then easy to see. We tried coming
back on the A1 from Sienna one day and
could not find the exit and once again
travelled back. Perhaps a slighly more
detailed map would help but we managed
nonetheless.
...
The room were lovely with gorgeous views
of the vineyard and beyond. They were
clearly recently renovated and in
immaculate condition with huge bathroom.
The rooms were always made up whilst we
had breakfast so we came back to made
beds and clean towels. The staff went to
great lengths to find me a needle and
thread when the need arose.
...
I cannot recall all the details on the
site but it should be mentioned that the
restaurant offers silver service with a
smile for very reasonable prices. The
food was delicious - the best that we
sampled during our 2 week visit to Italy.

Highly reccommended. Definately the best
place that we stayed in Italy. Lovely

Our room (35) was fantastic. A beautiful suite... large bedroom, sitting room, dining area & bath.

Wish we would have spent more time there. The place was located in a perfect location to take day trips to Cortona, Montelcino, & Montepulciano was only 4 km away. Would have loved to have had dinner there in their restaurant. Our next trip to Tuscany will definitely include Villa Nottolla!
...
A private tour of their wine production was offered to us. It was very nice. You should say that tours of the working winery are offered there.
...
Spacious suite, rustic atomosphere... just as you would expect in the Tuscan countryside. Beautiful grounds & a wonderful staff. Perfect place to stay as a base to tour Tuscany.

On the whole the area around Montepulciano was busier than I'd expected with a major hospital just across the road but the service and friendliness of the staff & the clean spacious rooms as well as the fantastic breakfasts (included in the accommodation cost) more than made up for this.

Typically Tuscan - very friendly & welcoming. Great food; the restautant there served some of the best food we had in all of Italy.

Meals at the restaurant were rather tricky in a way that the chef has some fantasy that may harm the good name of the place. You don't serve rabit ( coniglio) for about 50% of the dish when the customer asked for nice lamb ( agnello). There is a difference ! and you can taste it. I had a rabit bone in the first bite I took, so no mistake !
A pity ! We went once but other nights went outside to have a meal. No second chance.
...
A good place to rest at the pool, rather quiet and friendly environment. Good pool.
Clean rooms with all facilities. Just at the right distance from Montepulciano.
