My wife and I just left Casa Delle Valle and must say it was a great place....very comfortable, well equipped, and very clean...each day we took a day trip to surrounding cities...including Siena, Lucca, Pienza (great place), Collodi (home of Pinochhio), Lucca....and even Deruta near Assisi (famous for ceramics)....a bit of advice....for longer treks take the Autostrada...the little country roads can really get bogged down with traffic

We had a spectacular time in your apartment, in San Quirico d'Orcia, in Tuscany, and throughout Italy. Your town is quite beautiful; we spent many hours walking, exploring, and enjoying it. It was one of many great surprises in our wonderful trip to your homeland. Thanks again. Take care. God bless you. Peace, Joe

We are two fifty something couples and very much enjoyed our stay here in the heart of beautiful Tuscany and the Val d'Orcia area. A short stroll into a charming town with great restaurants and easy access to other wonderful villages to visit. We even managed a day trip to Assisi. Loved your check in procedure permitting us to arrive anytime and not having to worry about meeting someone. Bedrooms were separate allowing privacy and I enjoyed having a bath tub! Relaxed with wine and some local cheese on the terrace before strolling into town for dinner! A wonderful, but too short, stay in Tuscany. Looking forward to returning. Would have liked to have had computer access to email home but certainly understand why it's not for guests.

It was soooooooo GREAT staying at your place in the Val d' Orcia region of Tuscany..........THE MOST BEAUTIFUL REGION OF ALL!!!!!!!!! We had a fantastic time, visiting 13 villages in just 8 days and saw soooo many beautiful places, ate delicious food, drank great wines, visited gardens, abbeys, thermal baths and even went to the PRADA outlet outside of Florence!!!!! And of course, we got to meet your WONDERFUL ANNA and her delightful MAMA and PAPA!!!! What an AMAZING location you are in Giacomo....centered in the heart of an exquisite little village with easy access to everything in Tuscany! We absolutely LOVED our visit there. Anna could never find us because we were always off having fun until after midnight every day!! She was so welcoming, helpful and caring in every way possible!! You are lucky to have her! Thank you again for giving us the opportunity to stay in the stunning San Quirico d'Orcia!! We will definitely return one day!! Ciao for now!!!"

Our family really enjoyed our stay in the charming town of San Quirico. The property is extremely comfortable, convenient, and clean. Giancomo made the booking process very simple and the on site manager Anna is very friendly and gave us many sugestions for exploring the area. We highly recommend this property.

My wife Lynne and I had a great stay at the Pagano's home in beautiful Tuscany. Anna was there to help us get the lay of the land. It was like having our own tour guide. She also arranged a super cooking class with Enzo and herself. The location of the Pagano home couldn't be better. It was right at the center of the best places to visit. The Adler Spa was only 10 minutes away and an incredible place. I highly recommend it. Finally, as a runner, I have to say a real highlight was getting up early in the morning and jogging along the country roads just outside the Pagano home. Thank you, Giacomo and Enzo, for a wonderful stay at your charming home. Lynne and I will never forget the great time we had.

We enjoyed our stay at your condo in Tuscany very much. It was located close to where we wanted to be and not too far from the center of town. It was a short walk. If we return to this are in the future we would consider renting your condo again. The accomodations were better than staying in a hotel room. Also, we found your manager Anna very helpful.

This is a wonderful condo if you're looking for an authentic view of Tuscany. I stayed for a week this past July and enjoyed every minute of it. The apartment has all the modern conveniences and is very clean. I liked it because I prefer newer condos, and this is a newer development (though it retains traditional Tuscan style). It's just a five minute walk outside the historic center of San Quirico. We loved the back patio, as well as the two other outdoor spaces on the balconies. The town is small, the pace of life slow, and it's centrally located to many of the most famous Tuscan hill towns. Montepulciano, Pienza, Montalcino are all very close. We especially enjoyed taking a dirt road down to the thermal baths at Bagno Vignoni. We never had to drive more than an hour our entire stay, and often we enjoyed exploring San Quirico itself. We spent several nights relaxing at the Bar Centrale on the Main Piazza, and there were other quaint wine bars and restaurants to visit throughout. It's also a great value, and plenty spacious. When we were there, the property manager Anna was very attentive, and so kind to us in suggesting places to go and visiting with us. She is a real gem!! Thanks also go to Giacomo and Enzo for helping us have such a great vacation. Best, R

"The condo was great for our family. San Quirico is a perfect base for exploring Tuscany -- straight shot up to Siena, close to Piensa, Montepulciano, Monticiello to the east.....Montalcino, Sant'Antimo to the west, Bagno Vignoni a few minutes to the south."

We just returned from a week in San Quirico where we stayed in this beautiful condominium-apartment. It was the ideal accommodation! New, nicely furnished and decorated. It was wonderful to return each day to our "home." The village is wonderful and the location is fantastic for exploring Tuscany. We would return tomorrow if we could! I recommend it highly!!

"The Casa della Valle property in Tuscany was wonderful! It had all the comforts of home, was extremely clean and was close to the main town, where you can dine in the authentic Italian restaurants and shop for unique gifts. I highly recommend staying at this property!"
