The Meublé IL RICCIO is located in Montepulciano's oldest street, just a short walk from the Piazza Grande, the heart of the old town centre. The Cathedral and the City Hall form two sides of the spacious Piazza, and the other sides are made up of beautiful Renaissance palazzos. The Meublé IL RICCIO offers guests elegantly furnished rooms, private facilities, colour TV, mini bar, telephone, safe, air conditioning and wireless Internet access, as well as a wonderful view over the Val di Chiana and the lakes of Montepulciano, Chiusi and Trasimeno. A grand fourteenth-century staircase leads to the rooms and the beautiful sun terrace, where guests can take the air at the highest point of the hill Montepulciano is situated on. The Meublé IL RICCIO is open all year round. Given the limited availability, guests are advised to book in advance. Small pets are permitted. For over 30 years the Meublè IL RICCIO has been recommended by Tripadvisor and the most eminent travel guides, including Rick Steves, Guide du Routard, Frommers, Lonely Planet, Lets' Go, and so on.

As a classic Montepulciano guidebook tells us, "the De Pucci were a noble Montepulciano family - their presence in the city is recorded in documents dating back to 1080, and their rich history boasts a wealth of illustrious names in the sciences, the military, the judiciary and the church. The family palazzo was situated in Via Tolosa, or Talosa, in the Santa Maria parish. The Santa Maria church was eventually demolished, and the city's magnificent cathedral was built on the site, but Via Talosa and the beautiful Palazzo Pucci are still with us to this day." The palazzo eventually fell into neglect, until it was bought by Professor Attilio Caroti in 1949. He began restoration work, and made it the seat of the prestigious Italian School of Mosaics. In the 1980s a completely renovated part of the building was opened to guests as a hotel, the Meublè IL RICCIO, run with love and care by Giorgio and Ivana Caroti. Every inch of the building is imbued with a deep sense of its illustrious history, especially the impressive entrance courtyard. The history of these walls has remained intact over the centuries, and today guests can appreciate all their charm and magic.

The Meublé IL RICCIO is the result of a careful restoration of the family palace with the enhancement of the original wooden ceilings, large windows and balconies on the Val di Chiana below with a view of the Trasimeno, Montepulciano and Chiusi lakes. The property is located a few meters from the main square "Piazza Grande" in the highest part of the city in the heart of the historic center.
