Thank you Sandra for your review. Im glad you and your family had everything you needed for your stay. I have set up my apartment to be as comfortable as possible for my guests. Air Conditioning is not listed as an amenity in our Property Description. We do have ceiling fans in the apartment which we find to be very helpful. We have not found it necessary to have air-conditioning. Unfortunately you stayed during a period of extreme and unusually high temperatures in Tuscany. With regards to the noise, our description states that the apartment is located in the historic center of Montepulciano. It is a beautiful Medieval town which has the Church bells ringing and people strolling through the town. The town is active and has several restaurants, cafes, and beautiful shops. People come from all over to experience this exquisite town living where you can walk to the local cafes, restaurants, shops, Churches, and Wine Cellars. It is a relief to be able to walk everywhere and not have to use a car. It is not in the middle of the countryside where it may be quieter.
