Last year we stayed with Gio and Ivana, who took great care of me during a bout with the flu. I was so humbled by their caring that we had to go back and see them during our most recent trip. It was like coming home to family. Their B&B is charming, comfortable and welcoming. Ivana makes the most delicious... More

We could not have been happier with Meuble Il Riccio. The view from our room was incredible, and the town was wonderful, the staff friendly and inviting. I could not recommend the "Superior" room more highly!!!, highlight of our trip so far, it will be hard to beat! David from Perth Australia

I strongly recommend Meuble Il Riccio in Montepulciano, owned and operated by the Carota family. Signor "Gio" Carota is a jovial, gregarious gentleman; his wife la Signora Caroti is the embodiment of quiet graciousness and natural refinement. Together they manage this gorgeous small hotel with efficiency and skill. The hotel is perfectly located. Although the hotel lacks a restaurant for... More

We loved Il Ricco... Gio, Ivana and the staff were great. Our oversized corner room (35) had the most amazing view of the valley and the city. Gio proved to be the perfect host when we needed an emergency dentist visit. Grazia Gio. Ivana's home baked goods were the best. Their restaurant recommendations were perfect.

We learned of Meuble il Riccio from my brother who stayed and loved it two years ago. Rick Steves continues to recommend the B&B, and we even saw his picture in the breakfast room! The name means "hedgehog" and there are hundreds of hedgehogs throughout the lovely medieval home. Gio and Ivana are gracious hosts, and Ivana's homemade tarts on... More

Saw hotel on a Rick Steves' TV show, and read up on it. We made a good choice. It was a great place to stay in Montepulciano. We had a room in the new wing. The view from our room (and bathroom) was fantastic. Our hosts were very friendly. The hotel is more like a B&B. Great small town to... More

Il Riccio is situated in the heart of Montepulciano, a quick walk to anything in town you want to see or do. It is a lovely, old palace that has been lovingly and comfortably furnished by its caring owners. We were lucky enough to reserve one of the two superior rooms, and it truly was superior! The room had a... More

We stayed at Meuble il Riccio in October 2012, and had big expectations due to the good reviews on Tripadvisor. The hotel met our expectations in every way! If you are looking for a traditional Chain hotel like Premier Inn (we have nothing bad to say about Premier Inn, we like that Chain too!), keep looking. You will not find... More

Amazing guest house in a perfect location right off of Piazza Grande in the center of Montepulciano. This walled city located on a cliff is a tourists dream of Italy - and a tourist drivers nightmare! Gio and his staff were so welcoming that they even came to the other side of town to lead us to the parking lot.... More
