Tuscany is made for love — from its golden hills and historic villages to its food, wine, and slow rhythms. And if you’re planning a romantic weekend escape, few places are as magical as Montepulciano.
This Renaissance town, perched on a ridge overlooking vineyards and cypress trees, is the perfect base for a couple’s getaway full of discovery, relaxation, and fine dining.
Slow Mornings and Scenic Views
Wake up in a cozy boutique hotel or agriturismo. Enjoy a cappuccino with fresh pastries before setting off on a slow walk through Montepulciano’s cobbled streets.
Don’t miss:
- Piazza Grande, with its cathedral and town hall
- Hidden panoramic spots for photos and quiet moments
- Small artisan shops with handmade ceramics and local perfumes
It’s not a checklist — it’s about being present, together.
Afternoon in the Countryside
Rent a car or a Vespa and explore the surrounding Val d’Orcia. Pass through charming villages like Pienza and Monticchiello, stop for a glass of wine at a hilltop terrace, or simply get lost among olive groves and vineyards.
Spring and autumn are particularly romantic, with warm colors and gentle weather.
Dinner for Two at Osteria Fra L’Altro
As the sun sets, return to Montepulciano for the highlight of your day: a candlelit dinner at Osteria Fra L’Altro.
This refined restaurant, located in the heart of the historic center, offers a quiet, elegant space for intimate dining. Chef Paolo Arnetoli crafts a seasonal menu that blends Tuscan tradition with gourmet precision.
Expect delights such as:
- Homemade pasta with truffle and pecorino
- Slow-cooked meats with Chianti sauce
- Delicate desserts with local fruit and Vin Santo
Pair it all with a bottle of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, and you’ll understand why this place is a favorite for couples.
The Perfect Romantic Getaway
Whether it’s your honeymoon, anniversary, or spontaneous retreat, Montepulciano delivers the right mix of charm, flavor, and emotion.
