Where Casa Franci Montalcino is, and why the location matters
Casa Franci Montalcino, also listed as Drogheria & Locanda Franci, is a bed and breakfast at Via Ricasoli 27, in the historic center of Montalcino. Hotels.com lists 11 rooms, from classic doubles of about 20 sq m (215 sq ft) to rooms with valley views, plus an apartment and a three-bedroom villa, along with two restaurants on site.
The location is the draw for anyone here for Brunello. The Montalcino Fortress is about a 1-minute walk, roughly 100 m (110 yards), and Piazza del Popolo about 3 minutes, roughly 300 m (330 yards). The Biondi Santi estate at Greppo is listed at about a 5-minute drive, around 3 km (2 miles), so a tasting does not require a long drive back.
Getting there
- By train: Buonconvento station is about an 18-minute drive, 10.8 km (6.7 miles), as listed on Hotels.com.
- By car: there is no on-site parking, so plan to use a public lot and confirm the nearest option with the property.
- Arrival: check-in runs from 2:00 to 8:00 p.m.; after 8:00 p.m., contact the property in advance.
- Times and distances are as listed on booking platforms on October 20, 2026.

Who it suits, and who should look elsewhere
A good fit if you want to walk to wine bars and enotecas, value a free breakfast (served 8:00 to 10:00 a.m.) and travel with a dog, since dogs stay free.
Look elsewhere if you need an elevator (there is none), want parking at the door, or prefer a countryside estate with a pool. For that, Capanna Suites is about 6.6 km (4.1 miles) outside town.
What to do from Montalcino
- Drive to the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore, about 20.2 km (12.6 miles) away.
