We loved our 10 days at Villa Arpicella and we would not hesitate to recommend it.Our host, Fabio, was everything you could wish for: excellent comms via WhatsApp, thoroughly pleasant and responsive, professional, helpful and a pleasure to deal with. He provided a pdf with excellent recommendations for sights and restaurants etc. He personally guided us to the property from Pienza and gave us a useful check in briefing. In addition to a complimentary bottle of (very good) Tuscan red, you can buy, at a modest price, samples of the wine, pasta and wild boar sauce produced by the property.The location: the Val d’Orcia is the most beautiful part of Tuscany, and Pienza is its jewel. The farm property is just a few minutes’ drive from Pienza, yet you can enjoy the quiet and the rural charm: deer browsing amongst the olive trees, hundreds of pheasants, wood pigeons, swallows; quite glorious.The villa has everything you need to be comfortable: excellent bathroom and shower, good cooking facilities (both upstairs and down, if you want to use it), washing machine and dryer, dishwasher and good AC in both bedrooms. Even though we were there during high temperatures, cool bedrooms made it easy to get by. Insect netting over all the windows was a very good feature.The grounds are large and there are recliners and outdoor tables. The view out over the Val d’Orcia from the villa is magnificent.An idyllic property in an idyllic place.
