We stayed in Florence, Siena, and Castiglione d'Orcia. This stay was the highlight of our trip. The unit could not have been better located and affords views that are incredible. This property is a jewel and is highly recommended.

Our Quiet Tuscan Getaway

Castiglione d'Orcia was lovely. Right in the town square you become immersed with those who live there. The little grocery store which has it all is right next door and you can grab a cornetto and caffe at any time.. We were lucky enough to see a concert from our balcony. Our host was wonderful and so helpful!

Our stay at here in Castiglione d'Orcia was simply fantastic. The proximity to Pienza, Montalicino, Montelpucciona, Siena and local natural hot springs is beyond convenient. The square right out front of the home is enjoyable for morning coffee, chatting with the locals or enjoying a vino at the end of a day of adventures. The unit itself had everything we needed. Once we figured out the light switches, it felt like home away from home. Once interesting note, the master bedroom does not have a window to the outside. This was odd at first but after the first night, we didn't even notice. We can strongly recommend.

The location was fun and interesting. The house had everything needed except maybe a couch. There were 2 tables instead. Lots of kitchen appliances except toaster. Beds were comfortable and the bathroom is a good size. Even though the town was located on top of the mountain and seemed isolated it had everything you needed. A great cafe a few doors down that had a good selection of baked goods and coffee and it was also a bar in the afternoon. 3 or 4 very nice restaurants. Gelateria. Next door was a grocery store for daily needs and a 2 minute walk to a bigger grocery store. We enjoyed just walking around the streets and sitting on the small balcony. A short drive to hot springs and cute towns. Beautiful area. Alessandra was very nice but does not speak English but she is as helpful as she can be.

3 weeks in Tuscany

The house was delightful. Its location is one of the best features, in the main square in a medieval village. Right next door is a market with all the food essentials. A gelato shop opened in mid-June in the village. A minor inconvenience was the electrical adapters. The Italian plugs.take a 3-in-line plug, and we had no adapters for this configuration. There were a few in the house. There are several excellent restaurants in the village. We had another couple join us for a week and there was plenty of room. All in all, it was a great house in a great location. A place from which to take day trips to places in south Tuscany.

On the town square in Castiglione d'Orcia

This two story home is directly in the middle of this medieval town. The seating for the locals bar is in the square in front of the door, the small but outstanding grocery store is literally next door. The citizenry do spend the evenings at the bar until 10 pm, but closing the windows captures the noise. This home has a fully equipped kitchen but no oven. The main bathroom is huge by Italy standards and the bedrooms are comfortable. And there is a terrace overlooking the square where you can sit and eat or drink or hang out your laundry like you live here. We have been coming to Val d' Orcia for 20 years and this is where we will stay when we come again. The only drawback is it is up a winding road that we do not recommend after a dinner out with a bottle of wine. The road requires 100 percent attention.

Disliked: Location

Not a friendly town.

The place was as advetised but we had three major issues with the place: 1. No couch on the first floor. And there is no AC. So the kids couldn't escape the heat on the second floor to anywhere on the first. 2. The doors to the bedrooms wouldnt close or open without making a ton of noise waking up the whole house. 3. The Town hates tourists. They did not want us there and ripped ua off at the restaurant and the pharmacy. Only stay here if you speak Italian - otherwise, don't give em any time on your vacation.This is the first bad review I've given to a VRBO but this is just to help others before they book this house to align your vacation priorities.

Tolle Toskana-Tage

Wir hatten einen angenehmen Aufenthalt mitten im Zentrum von Castiglione, umgeben von pittoresken Straßen, manchmal von etwas lauten Barbesuchern und einer ausreichenden Infrastruktur. Inzwischen kann man auch die große Burgruine im Ort besichtigen.

Super

Fantastische Lage direkt an der Piazza neben dem Lebensmittelladen und der Bar , also mittendrin im italienischen dörflichen Leben . Sehenswert ist auch der Teil Roca d´Orcia mit seiner Aussicht und der tollen Atmossphäre des Dorfes . Wir haben von hier aus verschiedene Thermalquellen ( Bagno di Vignoni , Saturnia (!!!), Petrioli )besucht . Für Kunstliebhaber lohnt sich der Ausflug nach Seggiano zur Fondazione di Giardino de Daniel Spoerri .

Excellent place to stay

We loved being in the heart of Val D’Orcia with easy access (via car) to all the surrounding towns. There is a grocery store right next door to the property and several places to eat and have coffee or wine! The Enoteca right across the piazza is excellent. The service and responsiveness by the owner and caretaker was fantastic. AND when you are bone tired at the end of the day, you can look forward to a shower with hot water and great water pressure!! Thank you Fulvio and Laura for your hospitality!!

Wundervoller Aufenthalt

Wir hatten tolle Tage in diesem wunderschönen toskanischem Haus. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt und es war alles vorhanden, was man sich vorstellen kann. Vor allem der Balkon mit dem Blick auf den Brunnen hat uns jeden Abend beeindruckt. Wir wollen uns auch bei Laura bedanken, die uns super empfangen hat und alles gut organisierte und stets als Ansprechpartner vor Ort war. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen und können das Haus mehr als empfehlen, vor allem auch an Familien mit Kindern, da dort sehr viel Platz ist. Vielen Dank nochmals!

zeer aangenaam verblijf in Castiglione d'Orcia

Veertien dagen genoten van het huis, het stadje en van Toscane ! Gelegen aan een heel gezellig pleintje. Heel geschikt voor 4 mensen, voor 5 iets te beperkt, lijkt ons.

Kongelogen i teateret Castiglione d Orcia

En fantastisk lejlighed der overraskede både i beliggenhed og kvalitet og renlighed. Vi boede midt i byen med udsigt til torvet fra vores altan og deltog om aftenen i livet på den lokale bar. Huset havde et lille køkken, men der var mange muligheder for at få noget godt at spise.De øvrige værelser var fine og vel indrettet og to meget flotte toiletter. Alt i alt en meget positiv oplevelse til en rimelig pris. Ros til Fulvio der altid var hurtig til at svare En helt igennem positiv oplevelse i vores elskede Orciadal

THIS HOUSE IS WONDERFUL

If you have always wanted to stay in a typical Tuscan home, this is the one. I have been to Tuscany several times and always stayed in an agriturismo. This home was a very pleasant surprise for my 2 companions and I. The owner is very responsive to all inquiries and very helpful. The house is clean convenient and well equipped. . Parking and shopping for groceries convenient, though the staples are well provided for by the owner. The town is a delight and now one of my favorites in Tuscany.

Un bel weekend!

Siamo stati per un weekend ospiti nella casa del Sig. Guido. Eravamo 2 coppie di amici. La casa è molto accogliente e grande ed è situata in un grazioso paese, molto tranquillo e ben tenuto. Castiglion d'Orcia è situato alla giusta distanza dai posti che volevamo visitare (le terme di San Filippo e Bagno Vignoni, San Quirico d'Orcia) ed offre al turista vari servizi . Davvero un bel weekend!
