Borgo San Vincenzo
Contemporary Classic with a wine-country soul. Rustic Tuscan bones — exposed brickwork, ceramic tile floors, ceiling beams — dressed up with Frette linens, Acqua dell'Elba bath products and Nespresso machines. Approachable luxury with a strong sense of place rather than hotel-chain polish.

Why It Matters
Named after St. Vincent, the patron saint of winemaking, and sitting literally in the vineyards — not just near them. It made Travel + Leisure's 2023 IT List, is listed in the Michelin Guide, and is the only boutique property of this calibre on the Strada del Vino Nobile. No spa, no gym, but the wine programming and food culture more than compensate.
An 18th-century farmstead on the Strada del Vino Nobile, Borgo San Vincenzo is a 21-room boutique hotel spread across honey-coloured stone buildings surrounded by Montepulciano's most prestigious Vino Nobile vineyards. The whole place is organized around a wine obsession: rooms are named after oversized bottle formats, the bar is called The Flying Monk, and the experiences team will happily book you wine tours five days running. American-owned and opened in 2022 after a full renovation, it landed on Travel + Leisure's IT List for Best New Hotels in the World almost immediately.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Balthazar Suite
The top one-bedroom option with the most outdoor space — each has a terrace with views of the Tuscan countryside. Two Balthazar suites exist and they can be connected through the balconies, making them ideal for two couples or a family wanting privacy plus togetherness. Upper floor only, so stairs are required. King bed, separate living room, kitchenette, terrace.
King · 40 sqmImperial Suite
The classic one-bedroom suite with a fully separate living room — the key upgrade from the studios. Built to showcase the historic 18th-century architecture: exposed brickwork, ceramic tile floors, ceiling beams. Each has a unique feel based on its position in the building. King bed, separate living room, kitchenette.
King · 38 sqmJeroboam Studio
The entry-level option and the only room on the property that can convert to twin beds. Ground floor only, each studio is unique in layout. Good for solo travelers or a couple who doesn't need a separate living area. Comes with king bed, sitting area, and kitchenette with cooktop.
King (or twin on request) · 30 sqmMethuselah Deluxe Studio
A step up from the Jeroboam with more generous proportions across both the living area and bathroom. Still a studio format — no separate living room — but the extra 70 square feet make a real difference. King bed, sitting area, kitchenette. Each Methuselah has a unique configuration.
King · 36 sqmNebuchadnezzar Two-Bedroom Suite
The only two-bedroom suite on the property, best suited for families or close friends travelling together. Two separate bedrooms each with an en-suite bathroom, plus a shared common space with sitting area and kitchenette. A covered outdoor patio adds al fresco space. Couples travelling together are actually better served by two individual rooms — the layout is designed for families.
