Hotel Dei Capitani

This was a fantastic place to stay while visiting Montalcino. Spectacular views from our room and from the breakfast area and pool deck. Staff was very hospitable, and the breakfast buffet was really good. Mimosa’s restaurant recommendations were on point😎. I picked this place somewhat randomly for me and my dad and did not regret it. Walking distance to great restaurants and gelato. Rooms are not elaborate, but you’re not there to stay in your room. A couple of suggestions: - if you put this place into Apple Maps or Google Maps, IT WILL SEND YOU UP A GRAVEL AGRICULTURAL ROAD WITH 20% GRADE, the Strada Communale Del Canaliccio. OMG, my heart was in my throat driving up this and we narrowly avoided an accident. Instead, ask Maps app to take you to Via Pietro Strozzi, then to the hotel. We made it safely, but there was some stress!! - there is very little permanent parking at the hotel. Drive there, drop your stuff, and they will give you a parking pass and directions to parking. - this may not be the place for those with severely limited mobility. The cobblestone roads are pretty steep. - if you need suggestions for wineries, there are so many, but Col D’Orcia won’t let you down. Book ahead.🍷

The room is very clean and cosy. The view is stunning. The staff are nice and friendly. I highly recommend it!

The Hotel is conveniently located at the entrance to the city center which is really the best location in Montalcino. Just a few blocks away you have incredible restaurants, shops and phenomenal sights. Talking about sights both our room and the Hotel pool area and restaurant provided breathtaking views of the country side since the Hotel itself is on a hill. Breakfast at the hotel had a large variety a d with excellent quality. The hotel manager Maria Angela attended to our every need and was simply phenomenal

HIghly recommend this property. I had a magnificent view of the valley, the sunrise and birds singing will be unforgettable. The staff is helpful and friendly. Nice breakfast with quality food included. Montalcino is a cool hilltop town. If you plan an overnight, make this your hotel of choice.

Lovely! Amazing view. Comfortable accommodations. Good breakfast. Great location. Don’t follow Google maps to get there!

Hotel to expensive for what it has to offer and rooms are very basic for the price paid

We loved our stay at hotel dei Capitani, would highly recommend. Montalcino is famous for truffles, wild boar, wine, and beautiful views, especially from this hotel. It is on top of a mountain and in the country so you can expect to see bugs in your room like spiders, mosquitos, stink bugs, but they are mostly all harmless and more of a nuisance than anything. When looking for food to eat I recommend “Il Moro SNC di pellegrini Alessandro”, extremely clean kitchen, family run, delicious homemade local food. Don’t trust any of the restaurants hours posted on their websites, the city pretty much closes down once it’s past 8:30 you’ll have a hard time getting food anywhere. Also, the roads are very tight so if you are driving a car I recommend something small. Walking on the walls of the castle was another great highlight of the trip. If you want to visit any wineries make reservations ahead of time. Again, can’t recommend it enough! And thanks to the hotel staff for being so welcoming, hospitable and helpful with recommendations. We loved the whole experience.

Montalcino is a place to come back!

Beautiful hotel in a charming old building. Staff is amazing and goes the extra mile to help you out. Breakfast is okay but nothing amazing considering its Italy.

This hotel is on the edge of town and has magnificent views. An added plus is a swimming pool which is welcome after a day of travel. It’s a bit of an uphill walk to the town center but if you are mobile it should not be an issue. The morning breakfast is great and is served on an outdoor patio with great views (indoor is also available). Rooms are comfortable and provide all that is needed. Found the staff to be pleasant and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and recommend.

Staff in general was awesome

This hotel was a pleasant surprise. Our room has the most amazing view of the area. The hotel was a shot walk to restaurants and shopping.

Loved it

PROS: The staff were great & gave nice dining recommendations, got us a taxi. Very walkable area, close to restaurants /shops. Breakfast croissants are delish! Room was comfortable and spacious. The bed was 2 twins put together. It was cool enough to not use the A/c but it was good to have in case. There is a fridge with free bottled water. The balcony view was spectacular. Felt like a safe place to be CONS: An older property (like most hotels in the area) and that is part of the charm but the walls are paper thin. I could hear my neighbors snore at night (didnt bother me but I know some people are light sleepers). The parking lot for the hotel is small (5 spaces) and the walls are a very tight squeeze for an SUV to enter into the lot. However, the hotel also provides a parking pass for public parking lot further into town (a bit of a walk up a small hill or two). Even though there is an elevator, there are small sets of stairs on the floor where some rooms are so you will need to carry your luggage up and down about a flight total put together (not many but just sharing). It is rare (if ever) that you will find screens in hotels in Italy so beware of bugs when opening the balcony door and leaving it open for some time - the mosquitoes are huge. It would be nice to have a screen to enjoy the fresh air without this worry but not a dealbreaker. They do not have "Do not disturb" signs for hanging on the door so advise the front desk if you do not wish for cleaning

Great service and very clean rooms

the view

The view was amazing. The breakfast & servers a great way to begin the day. The room was ok - could hear people on either side of us. We were able to park close and walk to restaurants. Much was closed in early November. Great location for winery visits. In nice weather, the pool would be inviting.

Nice hotel and location. Friendly staff. Rooms are small and breakfast is just adequate.

Hotel is in a great location, very clean with friendly helpful staff. Rooms very small with little or no soundproofing between rooms or hallways

It is not great. It is old and needs upgrading.
