Agriturismo I Roseti in Montepulciano, among the orchards
Agriturismo I Roseti is a property set among orchards on the edge of Montepulciano, in Tuscany, with air-conditioned rooms and apartments and private parking. It has a 5 rating on Google, and guests praise the owners. I think it's ideal for couples and anyone looking for quiet a few minutes by car from the centre.

Where Agriturismo I Roseti in Montepulciano is
Agriturismo I Roseti is on Via di Totona, at the foot of Montepulciano, among the orchards. Guests describe it as a peaceful oasis close to the centre. One review says it's a couple of steps from the town, another says five minutes by car, and I take the second as the realistic measure.
From the older listing I can pick out a few distances: the Terme di Montepulciano are 4.3 km away, Bagno Vignoni 20 km, and Perugia airport about 79 km. You'll need a car to get around comfortably, even though the town is close. Parking is private, and in Montepulciano that's no small detail.
What the rooms and apartments are like
The listing mentions air-conditioned spaces with free wifi, and rooms with flat-screen TVs and a bathroom with a bidet and toiletries. There's also a fridge, minibar, coffee machine and electric kettle, handy for a coffee or tea without going out.
Several reviews talk about an apartment, not just rooms. One guest describes it as a perfect little house in Tuscany, with everything needed to cook using products bought locally. Another mentions spotless rooms and a bottle of the house red wine as a welcome gift, to drink on the terrace at sunset.
What guests say
On Google the agriturismo has 5 out of 5 from 40 reviews. The common thread is the owners, Gianni and Maria, described as friendly, helpful and great experts on the area. The house's two dachshunds appear in several comments too, adding to the family atmosphere.
- Quiet. Orchards, nature and silence. Anyone wanting to escape the chaos of the city will find it here.
- Cleanliness. The rooms and the apartment are described as spotless by several people.
- Local products. One guest appreciated being able to buy something from the area, and the house wine comes up in several accounts.
Some reviews go back several years, but recent ones point in the same direction. To me that's a good sign of consistency.
What to know before you book
There are no criticisms in the reviews, and a full five out of forty reviews is rare. To be honest, the drawbacks are the usual ones for a country agriturismo, and I'm working them out from the location and the data.
| Strength | Keep in mind |
|---|---|
| Peace among the orchards, terrace at sunset | You're not in the centre, and without a car you'll struggle to get around |
| Apartment with everything you need | The equipment comes from the older listing, so ask what your accommodation has |
| Owners present and attentive | The welcome is very personal, so write ahead about your arrival time |
There's nothing in the data about breakfast or a restaurant, so don't assume either, and ask the property before you book.
Who it suits
I'd pick it for a couple who want quiet, nature and a host who knows what to recommend. It also works for anyone who prefers to cook for themselves, since guests talk about a well-equipped apartment. It makes sense as a base for seeing Montepulciano and the surroundings without the bustle.
It isn't the right place if you're after hotel-style services or nightlife a few steps away. You come here to slow down.
Things to do around Montepulciano
The first stop is the town of Montepulciano, a few minutes' drive away. According to the listing, the Terme di Montepulciano are 4.3 km away and Bagno Vignoni 20 km, so a day of relaxation is easy to plan. Guests say Gianni and Maria know the area well, and I'd use them as your guide.
If you widen your trip around Tuscany, also look at Agriturismo Corvaia Val d'Orcia in Radicofani, La Magica Torre in Pitigliano and Agriturismo Crocino in Chianti at Lecchi in Chianti. If you push on to Umbria there's Agriturismo La Vite E L'ulivo in Baschi.
