We stayed at Albergo il Marzocco in April 2003. We had a lovely triple room , with a balcony overlooking the hillside (beautiful). At the time , price was 122 Euro with breakfast.

There are several good restaurants in Montepulciano, but if you are only going to be there one night, I would agree, Trattoria Diva e Maceo is an excellent choice. Great food at a reasonable price. <b>Have your hotel make a reservation</b>.
I still have the receipt:
2 Pane - Coperto 4 Euro
1/2 litre of wine - 6 Euro
1 bottle of mineral water - 2 Euro
1 Antipasti - 3.5 Euro
1 Primi Piatti - 5.5 Euro
2 Secondi - 18 Euro
Total: 39 Euro -- It was our first dinner in Montepulciano, and it was a memorable one.
I have mixed feelings about Caffe Poliziano. We walked past it every night, and one night stopped in for a gelato -- it was not very good, and the place didn't give me that warm & fuzzy feeling.
Be sure to stop in the copper shop near the top of the hill. He has some excellent hand-made items.
For wine tasting, there are a few in the area of the Trattoria, but my favorite was Crociani, near the top of the hill, a couple of blocks up from the copper shop.
You'll definitely enjoy your time in this wonderful village.

I highly recommend Osteria dell' Acquacheta. In my opinion the best food in town. It's very casual and inexpensive, but don't let that fool you- the food is outstanding. Be sure to order the pici pasta with wild bore sauce. You will not be disappointed.
