A beautiful apartment, ideally situated allowing you to explore the various sites in the Tuscany region. Breathtaking vistas as you drive between towns and attractions. The apartment is attractively designed and furnished. If I had one suggestion, it would be to better equip the kitchen so it is a little easier to prepare your own meals.

Tuscany Dream
House of Alice was amazing. The beautiful village of Castelnuovo Del’Abate was like a fairy tale. Perfectly situated for day trips all over Tuscany. The house itself was beautiful, and met every expectation.

Nice Stay Away from the Crowds!
This place was so pretty and away from the touristy areas. We were able to see San Giamigano (sp?). Siena, Montepulciano, Montalcino was very close by. This place is in the middle of the prettiest part of Tuscany!! The place was very nice but could use some racks or hooks for your towels and a place to put your shampoo etc. by the shower. 😁

Lovely Tuscany apartment!
This apartment is a gem. Lovely, cozy, and well-appointed. Beautiful view of the Tuscan countryside from one of the bedrooms! Check-in was seamless and the owner was very responsive. Be aware that Castelnuovo dell’Abate is a small village with one small grocery store and restaurant; for more options you will need to drive to Montalcino (9 km away). This apartment was an excellent home base for exploring the area. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

This rental property was fantastic. The property manager was such a gracious host. Visiting Castellunovo dell’abate, Montalcino, and, Montepulciano were the most favorite part of my trip to Italy. I will definitely come back.

Wonderful Apartment
It was our first visit to Tuscany. The apartment has been professionally renovated. The hosts are very prompt to answer questions and made check-in very easy. It is a bit of an uphill hike from the parking space to the apartment. We suggest pulling up as close to the apartment as possible to unload, then, go park the car.

Amazing Stay and Comfortable Beds with a view
The hilltop apartment was magnificent. It has been beautifully remodeled, clean, uniquely decorated and comfortable beds. The master bedroom has a window that opens up to a 180 degree view of Tuscany, while lying in bed that's what you wake up to! Francesco was a fantastic host. The property has a few more units that, I'm sure, just as beautiful

Great Spot!
Loved our stay at House of Alice. It’s very centrally located in Tuscany. Francesco was wonderful and took care of reservations and recommendations for us. The village itself is very small. The house was clean and well appointed. Small recommendations are; it could have used more efficient seating in the living room, a few more kitchen items, larger coffee maker etc. Also the bathrooms could use hooks and a shelf. Overall a wonderful and charming place! I would highly recommend!

We spent 13 days in the House of Alice. The pictures were completely accurate as shown on VRBO and our hosts were great. Very attentive and helpful with questions and requests. The stay was very comfortable for both couples. The location was perfect for day trips around Tuscany. We would highly recommend The House of Alice. Thank you again, to our wonderful hosts!

Stunning & Magical Apartment in Montalcino
During our two weeks traveling Italy, The House of Alice was our most treasured stay. The medieval apartments have been tastefully renovated in the beautiful style of the region, and the views are absolutely stunning. The apartments are comfortable, cozy, and airy, the family who runs the place were so lovely, and we were sad to leave. Heartily recommend; The House of Alice will not disappoint!

Pretty apartment
Casa di Alice is a pretty and comfortable apartment. The decor is stylish and appealing. The air conditioners in the bedrooms are necessary for good sleep in a heat wave. The bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen are well equipped for a short stay. The location is quiet and scenic, overlooking the beautiful Tuscan countryside. The reception staff are pleasant and helpful.

Beautiful apartment
A beautiful apartment with a homely feel and well furnished. Very clean and comfortable to stay in with lots of character. A toaster and a few additional bits in the kitchen would be handy when eating in. Free parking nearby and lovely surrounding countryside to explore. The village is low key and peaceful but with a useful little shop for groceries. We would happily return.

Pictures don't do it justice. Charming set in a small medieval town. Clean, comfortable and felt like I was in a castle bedroom. Francesco was extremely helpful in getting us settled and checked in. He also set up reservations for us for some wineries in the area. Only sugesstion is that you need your own car to get there and get around. Wonderful stay!
