Brilliant for Adults
The property is beautiful and large inside. Very rustic, full of history and very comfortable. Location is perfect for Pienza and surrounding areas. Alessandro was very prompt and helpful. The grounds and pool are disappointing. The pool is shallow and plastic, surrounded by uneven plastic grass. (Grounds not suitable for children and adults with walking difficulty).

Early September near Pieza, Val d'Orcia
We had a great time. Excellent location on a hilltop with all rooms having views across the Val d'Orcia and the courtyard areas looking across to Pienza itself, a delighful town. There was a professional-standard kitchen which was very well equipped and there was plenty of room to eat/relax both inside and out. There were only 4 in our group but it could accomodate many more very comfortably. I would characterise the property as rustic and authentic rather than luxurious and also historic given it was built on the remains of a much earlier monastic building which must have offered accmodation to travellers on the nearby pilgrimage route. Also very private given it was about 2km off the nearest main road and plenty to do in the areas. Alessandro was pleasant but English not his first language but emails were all answered very promptly.

Life changing experience…
My wife and I were joined by four long time friends for our first vacation in Tuscany. We didn’t know what to expect but we all were blown away by the experience of staying in this villa. Its rustic authenticity and historic charm was balanced with cleanliness and a charming host (Alessandro) making sure we had everything we needed. He took great pride in sharing with us the history of the property and surrounding area all the way back to the Etruscans. We had hoped for A view from the villa but were stunned by views in every direction. We woke up every morning with espresso and finished every evening with wine enjoying the view of Pienza from the patio courtyard. The villa was perfectly located to visit Pienza, Montalcino, Montepulciano, Bagno Vignoni, Monticchiello, and (a little farther) Siena. We visited them all! Alessandro enabled us to arrange a Tuscan cooking class within the villa from a Pienza restaurant owner/chef and her daughter. The kitchen felt more like a commercial kitchen in size and food prep areas. We had eight people all working on dinner comfortably with room to spare. Each room is individually accessible from the courtyard and has its own bathroom. The rooms are spacious and clean. It’s so difficult to capture the essence of why this place is so amazing but suffice it to say that it stole our hearts and no one wanted to leave.

Perfect get-away in beautiful country side
The house is a perfect home away. It is very clean, very well equipped. The best mattresses we had in a vacation home. Very comfortable seating area. Amazing well-equipped kitchen. All in all just a perfect home in a wonderful location. Airconditioning and windows with screens. Shade to side outside for every hour of the day. The 5 minute car drive to the village is easy.
