We stayed at the Agriturismo Merigge for 14 days in Aug/Sep of 2023 and quite simply had the best 2 weeks of our Italian holiday. The accomodation sits amongst the rolling hills just outside of Montepulciano and is a little slice of heaven on earth. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome by our hosts, Tiziana and Raffaele. Nothing was too much trouble for these guys, from recommending the best local restaurants and activities, to booking daily adventures and farm experiences on our behalf. Evrey time we inquired, Raffaele or his assistant Philipo seemed to know exactly what we were looking for - from local wine and olive oil tastings, to specialty dining experiences at various local farmhouses - they seemed to point us in the right direction every time where we had some of the most amazing days of our lives. The Agriturismo surrounds are maintained immaculately by a team of dedicated gardeners and on a daily basis you could watch them tending the onsite vegetable gardens, lavender fields and beautiful pool area. We spent several days just lounging around the large pool, with the gorgeous sunshine melting our cares away. Our room (1 of only 6 on the property) was perfectly comfortable and situated just outside the pool area. It had everything we needed to make our stay a memorable one. They have an onsite Chef (Carlotta) who was so friendly and meticulously prepared our breakfasts every day while we chatted to her about the local area. In fact, we enjoyed her company so much that we also decided to do a cooking class with her where she showed us how to make a 3 course meal using locally sourced produce. By the end of our 2 weeks, Tiziana and Raffaele made us feel like members of their family and we cannot speak highly enough of time at the Agriturismo Merigge. If you can, go and stay there because you'll have the time of your life !! We can't wait to travel to Italy again, where we will be sure to call in there again very soon. This place was simply superb in every aspect.
