"Casa Sarteano" is your home away from home. Overlooking the Orcia Valley in southern Tuscany, recently made a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Sarteano is strategically positioned, and all the world renowned treasures that have made Tuscany famous and a MECCA for travellers, are a short, scenic and unforgettable drive away.

I stayed at Casa Sarteano for one week with my husband and our two children (ages 12 and 10) July 2010. We absolutely loved the apartment, the town, the food, the pool and the surrounding area. It was easy to rent a car in the nearby town of Chiusi and it was very easy to get around. The restaurants in town are all FANTASTIC. Can't say enough good things are Sarteano. Hope to go back to Sarteano one day and actually stay at Casa Sarteano again.
Recommended for:Tourists without a car, adventure seekers, sightseeing, families with young children.

We and some friends stayed at Casa Sarteano in June, 2008 for a week. It was a wonderful place from which we went exploring everyday. The town is quaint and charming, but has everything you need, including outstanding restaurants. The apartment was lovely, comfortable, and very clean. Perfect for 4 adults! We really enjoyed our stay there and would love to go back some time. We would highly recommend this property to anyone.
