Ask a questionAbout Lars Godell
I'm a well-traveled, well-educated, wine-loving European with a Norwegian passport, with more than 21 years of telecom industry experience. After a University of Chicago MBA I have further nourished my curiosity by living in the diverse but wonderful cities of Amsterdam and Belgrade, as well as in my home town Oslo. I have the experience of owning or renting apartments in all these countries, triggering an appreciation of good quality and design. After more than 20 visits to Montalcino in less than the two years it took to complete the renovation and to make the apartment available for rental, I now enjoy the company of and invaluable help from some nice local friends in Montalcino. Both I and my very well-connected local network of friends are aware of the needs of quality-conscious international travelers. Valuable and constructive feedback from very satisfied guests collected during the first rental season (2014) has led to some apartment improvements and adjustments for the 2015 rental season.
Lars Godell purchased this apartment in 2011
Why Lars Godell chose Montalcino
As a serious wine-lover and in love with Tuscany since my first visit in 2000, the choice of Montalcino was easy. The number one reason for ending up in Montalcino is the wonderful Brunello wine, and after a complete apartment renovation job since 2011 I have realized my old dream of having a local wine cellar (unfortunately, access to the wine cellar is not available as part of rentals; I can just help you with advice on where to get the best deals and advice on sampling and buying wine). The spectacular views from the roof terrace was the number one reason for choosing this particular apartment inside Montalcino. I have rented and stayed in nice places in the Tuscan countryside since 2000 but I chose to be inside the town walls of Montalcino also for some important convenience reasons: Being able to walk to the bakery and grocery store, and being able to walk home after a nice lunch or dinner with some great wine. There are no taxis in the Tuscan countryside or smaller towns.
What makes this apartment unique
Relaxing on the terrace with a glass of wine, enjoying the unique view of the town, Crete Senesi, and Val d'Orcia. Walking home from a nice lunch or dinner without worrying driving under the influence. Fetching grocery and deli supplies in a minute.
