Searching for hotels in Montepulciano (Italy) or Montepulciano accommodation?  The enchanting city of Montepulciano can be found in the Valdichiana in Italy. Its location in an area formerly settled by the Etruscans and the Romans lends the town to an intriguing collection of Etruscan and roman architecture and historical attractions.

The Piazza Grande, an attractive cathedral built in 1619, is beautifully located on top of one of the town’s hills and offers splendid views of the surrounding area. The entertaining Cantiere Internazionale d'Arte arts festival was produced by the German composer Hans Werner Henze and is held from July to August each year. The Bruscello is another colorful festival held annually on the 14th-16th of August. Here, actors reenact scenes from the town’s opulent history. Another festival, the Bravio delle Botti, on the last Sunday in August, features an exciting parade through the streets followed by a barrel race and a magnificent banquet.

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Rosso di Montepulciano are guaranteed to make your experience in this town a tantalizing one. The church of the Madonna di San Biagio, planned by Antonio da Sangallo in the 16th century, is another interesting sightseeing spot.

You can take a tour to the Tarugi palace and the Contucci palace also designed by Sangallo and the fourteenth-century Palazzo Municipale, which houses a fine gallery of Sienese and Umbrian art.
