About this property

Boutique apartment with balcony, pool & valley views in idyllic hill-top village

The apartment is on the top floor of a lovely old stone building in the heart of Montone, voted one of Italy's prettiest villages. The interior has been completely restored to provide light-filled, spacious and elegant accommodation for up to four people.

Apartment is fully furnished offering the same comfort as a hotel, equipped with everything you need to cook with, glasses and plates to olive oil & coffee, fresh bed linen and towels for the pool.

Sustainability & the planet: All our products are now organic, plant based and Vegan friendly. The toilet paper, kitchen paper, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, hand wash, soap, dish washing machine liquid, sink dish washing liquid, washing machine powder, and even the cleaning products our cleaners clean the apartment with. These are all supplied by local Italian company Winni's (winnis.it)

There is a master bedroom with a luxury marble-lined ensuite bathroom and a second bedroom with private bathroom. From every window there are wonderful views out over the buildings of Montone to the surrounding countryside. The living area opens to a little terrace, perfect for breakfast or evening drinks. Several excellent restaurants, cafes and bars are within strolling distance as are various food stores - grocery, butcher, bakery - and services including a post office, pharmacy, bank and newsagent.

The apartment is reached by a flight of stairs from the ground level main entrance but the apartment itself is all on one level.
The apartment is comfortable year-round, even in mid-winter, thanks to central heating, controlled by a Nest thermostat, a cast-iron wood-burning fire and underfloor heating in the bathrooms.

Montone is a perfect base for exploring Umbria and Tuscany - if you can tear yourselves away from the gentle pleasures of Montone itself and the comfort of the apartment.

The nearest town is Umbertide (ten minutes by car), a typical working Umbrian town, where you will find supermarkets and small food stores, two weekly produce markets, restaurants and services, including pharmacies, banks, and a hospital.

The nearest city is Perugia, which has an elegant pedestrian centre lined with shops and cafes and the National Gallery of Umbria.

Places to visit within an hour's drive of Montone include: Gubbio, Lake Trasimeno, Sansepolcro, Cortona, Assisi, Spello, Deruta (for ceramics) and many smaller towns. Florence is an easy day trip, especially if you drive to Arezzo and take the train from there to the centre of Florence. In under two hours you can reach the wine areas of Montepulciano and Montalcino, Orvieto and Siena.

Fabulous boutique accomodation in stunning hill-top medieval town
The property is impeccably designed, with everything you need. We loved the log fire and the most spectacular views down into the valley. Breathtakingly beautiful. Montone is also a stunning, hilltop town with loads of character. A great choice of restaurants which meant we ate somewhere different everyday. Amazingly people don’t know about it! Daniela was more than we could hope for, fabulously knowledgeable and gave us a couple of brilliant tips to places we would never have found without her. We loved it and hope we will be able to come back soon!

September get away
Enjoyed our stay in Montone, loved the main piazza and the bakery! Hotel pool was a great treat. Daniela met us upon arrival and was very informative. Only negative was the mattress on the pullout couch.

Hidden secret
Montone is a perfect hilltop village. Very quiet during the day but with very good restaurants comes alive in the evening. The apartment is well positioned with lovely views. The apartment is styled to a high level with excellent bathrooms . With a welcome bottle of prosecco and the kitchen and bathroom providing all the basic things required/ shampoo, Olive oil and kitchen roll etc. The only requirement we felt was missing was air conditioning. With the high temperatures during our stay the fans were just not enough . A shame, other than that the apartment was everything we had expected.

Malerisch !
Wir haben soeben einen erholsamen Aufenthalt in dem historischen Bergdorf Montone gehabt. Die Wohnung ist wunderbar und voll ausgestattet (einziger Minuspunkt wäre die unbequeme Matratze) und hat wunderschöne Ausblicke in die Landschaft und in die verwinkelten Gassen. Die Hausverwalterin Daniela gibt viele hilfreiche Tipps und ist allzeit erreichbar. Gute Restaurants sind in unmittelbarer Nähe, herrliche Wanderungen rund um den Ort bieten sich an. Auf der zentralen Piazza treffen sich immer wieder die wenigen Dorfbewohner. Wir waren sehr angetan von der absoluten Ruhe, denn Autos und Mopeds müssen vor der Stadtmauer bleiben. Innerhalb der Saison ab Ende Mai bis zum September kommen jedoch viele Gäste aus der ganzen Welt, da wird es wohl nicht ganz so beschaulich sein. Besonders zum Filmfestival im Sommer kommen viele prominente Filmschaffende in den Ort. Montone ist wahrlich einen Kurztrip wert und die schöne Wohnung mittendrin ist einfach nur zu empfehlen.

Wonderful, relaxing stay
Beautiful apartment with all up to date fixtures, and stunning views. Me and my husband loves sitting on the patio with a glass of wine. Montone was a beautiful quiet town, close to a lot of wineries and things to do in the neighborhood. Would love to stay again.

About the host

Hosted by The Apartments Montone

Host profile image
We love Italy and especially Montone. In 2016 we decided that we would buy an apartment in this beautiful historic hill-town. With our talented architect we transformed the top floor of an historic building into two luxurious apartments. Both apartments have two bedrooms and two bathrooms each. We designed Apartment 1 into a spacious luxury apartment for 2 people but with a hidden frosted glass sliding wall so that we could also accommodate 4 people. The glass wall transforms the apartment into having two totally private bedrooms each, with ensuite bathrooms.

Why they chose this property

The apartments are right in the centre of the medieval hilltown of Montone and everything is just a short walk away. You will find most shops here, including a bakery for fresh bread, pizza and pastries, two mini-supermarkets, a post office and a pharmacy. The seven restaurants and two bars of Montone are all within a short walking distance from the apartments, so although the apartment kitchens are very well-equipped, you could choose to eat locally at different restaurants for each night of your stay. Markets are in abundance, from a farmers market on a Saturday in the nearby town of Umbertide, where you can buy organic vegetables, cheeses, honey, olive oil and wine to the enormous antique market the first weekend of every month in Arezzo. We are fortunate to have many festivals and events in and around Montone. You can see a list of them on our website. Local ones not to miss, are the Umbrian film festival held in the main piazza every July and the Festa del Bosco held throughout Montone in the autumn

What makes this property unique

The whitewashed beams and light stone floors give the apartments a light and airy feel. Both are lovely and warm in the winter with state-of-the art heating and wood burning stoves. Ceiling fans in the bedroom to keep you cool in the summer. Included in the price is electricity, heating, firewood, linens, towels and swim towels. We provide complimentary access to the local outdoor pool & sauna for 1 day, payment is required for further days. Free wifi is available throughout the apartments that can stream Netflix in HD. We wanted to give ourselves, and others something very different. We have created modern boutique style apartments, stylish but most importantly, informally relaxed and comfortable. The views from the windows are stunning; you look out over the rooftops of Montone, the rolling hills and far distant mountains. The sunsets are dramatic and beautiful. Watching the sunset over the hills with a glass of wine is one of our top recommendations!
