Pienza hotellia

Plussat: Fred is nice host.. place is clean and location is very peaceful..

Plussat: A short drive from Pienza and Bagno Vignoni, also well-situated for Montepulciano and Montalcino (for wine fans). Beautiful views across the countryside, abundant and tasty breakfast, a friendly welcome and facilities for cooking simple meals. Own produce (olive oil) also available to buy.

Miinukset: No complaints at all!

Plussat: Staff went out of their way to help and spent time answering questions we had about the area. Impeccably clean and good breakfast. Beautiful panorama and centrally located to a number of wonderful hill towns in Tuscany.

Miinukset: A bit far away from restaurants, groceries etc.

Plussat: The view and the host. Absolutely amazing location.

Miinukset: No

Plussat: We adored this amazing agriturismo! The two brothers were incredibly helpful, warm and accommodating. Our apartment was kept clean and was more than large enough for us. We had a fully-stocked kitchen next to the garden overlooking the beautiful town of Pienza. They gave us lots of recommendations in terms of restaurants, local pools, vineyards and so forth. We gladly ate breakfast there every morning; it's more than worth the 6 euros. We would stay here again in a heartbeat if ever we are in the region. Thanks for the wonderful stay!

Plussat: It is set in a beautiful setting on top of a poggio (hilltop). It is close to nature, quiet with spectacular views. It was stunning during a thunderstorm. Don’t expect to be in a town or city, you will stay in a love farm in natural and farm surroundings. Breakfast was wonderful and only 6€ daily. Great deal. The owner was a great man, humble, funny, helpful and kind. His English is good and he enjoys telling you about the region, local and national politics, or he just leaves you be when you want quiet. Access to great towns is easy. All in all, a wonderful place to chill out and enjoy the beauty and flavors of Tuscany.

Miinukset: It as perfect for what it claimed to be.

Plussat: wonderful, nice and amazing place. huge and cozy room.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Located about 1km from the main road, the location is amazing, being close to many attractions in the area but at the same time in the middle of nowhere. The owner was one of the most helpful and amiable I have ever met. The whole setup is fantastic and you feel very welcome but also having your own space. Our apartment was spacious with a comfortable bed and a nice bathroom. Being on the ground floor on a corner it had glorious views across the surrounding area. Breakfast was fantastic, everyone should have it!

Miinukset: I am being very picky here but best to be honest. The quality of the rooms and fittings didn’t really justify the price. The price should have included breakfast particularly as the equipment in the kitchen was very basic. Our stay was over new year so it was a bit nippy, making the heating a necessity. However it would have been good to have some control over it for the night and during the day when the heat wasn’t needed as there was no timer.

Plussat: Frederico and Marco were so nice and helpful. Very comfortable and clean. Everything felt brand new. Beautiful location! We didn’t want to leave.

Plussat: the view of the landscape

Plussat: Frederico was very friendly and helpful, directing us to great activities and restaurants in the region. The food we had the one night was some of the best we had on our entire trip. And the solitude and scenery plus size and cleanliness of the Tubruk was just what we wanted.

Miinukset: Nothing really. Probably should clarify that there is no restaurant, but rather dinner may be available upon request (FYI - plenty of great restaurants nearby). Also would be good to have better description of location on English website. Otherwise, great, great find.

Plussat: Very kind people, you feel as amoung the best friends, but without everyday duties,excellent kitchen, very nice area.

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: No refrigerator, no bath items, no glasses, small room, no swimming pool, no outside territory

Plussat: Staying at Agriturismo Poggio Tobruk was definitely a highlight of our 15days Italy trip. This place is a GO to everybody who's tired of bastle of big city and just want to have quiet days off with beautiful scenery at the center of Val D'Orcha. This place is just 10 minutes drive from the city of Pienza. Federico, the owner of this property's brother, was very welcoming us with huge hospitality. He spoke good English, fluent French and said he was to study German as well! He helped us for giving much information of places to visit around there. Out of his recommed places to visit, "Vagno Vignoni", a hot spring 10minutes drive from the agriturismo was just great! Thanks Federico! We'll definitely come back to Poggio Tobruk next time :)

Miinukset: One thing that we couldn't extend our stay there :(

Plussat: Lucia could not be more helpful, and friendly - as well as Kristina who cleaned our room daily. Although we had to leave crack of dawn on the last morning, Lucia insisted getting us breakfast. The rooms were always so clean - even with mini bar - cork screw/ bottle opener and wine glasses. It was 20 mins walk to beautiful Pienza (10 mins by shortcut). I will be back

Miinukset: Absolutely nothing

Plussat: Everything!! Great location, beautiful farm specially if you are with kids. Good breakfast and fabulous host.

Plussat: We had a most pleasant stay at Il Colombaiolo, the hosts were absolutely welcoming and even bought vegan products for us for breakfast! We enjoyed the fabulous view over the Orcia valley and having the opportunity to live in a wonderful Toscan brick house. Our room with adjoining bathroom is absolutely perfect and super clean and breakfast was rich in its variety and delicious. We will definitely come again!

Plussat: Everything is perfect! The house, the breakfast, animals...I already missing the days there. And Lucia is so kind, she makes every detail wonderful! ;)

Miinukset: Nothing needs to be improved, all perfect!

Plussat: The view from the property was beautiful and room itself was very clean.

Miinukset: Lucia or anybody else on the property doesn’t speak much of English which caused us problems in communication with her. We weren’t notified that cleaning lady will clean the apartment every day so we were still in our apartment in the morning when she entered in and we were asked to leave so she can clean the apartment. There is no do not disturb sign to hang on the door which would help a lot in cases like this. Also, please be aware that air conditioning is not included in price (additional 5 EUR if paid in cash or 10 EUR if paid by card). The location is great if you would like to spend time on property, but if you would like to go to Pienza and spend time there (like we did) the routes are not so good - one option is walking by the steep main road w/o pedestrian part and no night lights and other is through gravel olive plantation (private space, also not lightened and very steep). If you intend to walk to Pienza prepare for sweaty 15-20 min walking with either option. The property itself has numerous rules which you must obey. Also, we forgot something in the apartment and asked the Lucia to mail it back to us with shipping on us where she asked us for additional EUR 5 for her services (and shipping was EUR 10). All in all we didn’t feel welcome from the very first moment. We will for sure get back to Pienza, but will not stay in Agroturismo Il Colombaiolo.

Plussat: The location is beautiful, very close to the city, quiet, beautiful view from the window and from the garden. Breakfast is perfect, as in the best restaurant. Service at breakfast was organized at the highest level. The hostess made the best cappuccino that I drank in my life.

Miinukset: Everything was amazing

Plussat: We loved being close to the Pienza township..lovely surroundings, wonderful host and amazing breakfast. Perfect position to explore the surrounding villages. Host recommended the best restaurants !!!!

Miinukset: Nothing.. maybe an extra pillow

Plussat: the breakfast was great and my wife's gluten intolerance was well catered for. It was great to be on a working farm directly below one of Tuscany's most beautiful cities less than five minutes away with beautiful dramatic views over to Monte Amiata and the surrounding Tuscan countryside. A most relaxing and welcoming place to stay.

Plussat: This is the second time we have stayed at Il Colombaiolo, and both visits have been exceptional. Pienza is an excellent base for touring the area, and is itself a lovely town. Il Colombaiolo is very convenient to Pienza, and is spacious, comfortable, spotless, and full of amenities. The breakfasts are outstanding, and varied across the days. During our previous visit, our breakfasts were on a patio with a beautiful panoramic view of the Val d"Orcia; this time, because it was colder, breakfasts had moved inside (to a very pleasant room).

Plussat: The landscape. Very Toscana.

Plussat: Lovely location and views of the Tuscan countryside. Very clean and good facilities.

Miinukset: A bit further away from Pienza than was stated and steep walk up a hill so need to be relatively fit. If you require breakfast make sure you request it in advance of your stay.

Plussat: Location of farm and very high standard of accomodation.

Miinukset: Should have tea/coffee making facilities in room.

Plussat: Lucia was very welcoming and made our stay a superb experience.

Plussat: Beautiful setting. Room was large and clean.

Miinukset: Some restrictive rules, such as no eating in room.

Plussat: Warm welcome and wonderful breakfasts looking over one of the best landscapes in the world (Val d'Orcia). Lucia the owner could not do enough for us. Peace & tranquility. We will definitely go back.

Miinukset:

Plussat: The owner, Lucia was fantastic. Friendly and cooperative, she was willing to communicate with the guests and help in any way possible! Fantastic views! Wonderful breakfast. Perfect place to relax on our honeymoon!

Miinukset: Swimming pool would make the place perfect! I beleive one is planned

Plussat: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Il Colombaiolo! Our hostess was delightful and she worked very hard to make everything perfect. The breakfast was delicious, the best we had in Italy, and the setting was beautiful, looking out over the valley. We highly recommend Il Colombaiolo to anyone looking for a special place to stay in Italy. We will stay again.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Pe3ac peacefull beautiful wiew

Miinukset:

Plussat: Wonderful food, nice host. Beautiful view from the pool. Sunsets

Miinukset: For me as I’m looking for a very quiet places this facility was a little bit too close to the road so you could hear the cars in the morning. Otherwise location was great.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Hot tube in the room was for extra price

Plussat: The location was beautiful and close to Pienza. They are a small facility offering a peaceful escape with beautiful wine countryside to relax. The 3 bedroom apartment was spacious and came with a clean and luxurious offering of supplies.

Miinukset: It is great that the costs are split up, reducing the base cost; but be careful of what things add up to.

Plussat: Spectacular views and magical area! Close to Penza and Montepulciano! Great places around in case you are interested in making some great shots or videos! Calm and perfect location to rest and enjoy all the best from what Tuscany offers!

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Location was perfect. wanted a house on a hill.

Plussat: There are free parking lots outside of the hotel, quite convenient for those travel with a car.

Miinukset: It's okay if only for a short stay. Not that value for money/

Plussat: Ystävällinen aamiaispalvelu

Plussat: Any parking issues were immediately managed by the friendly staff.This could have been an issue in busy Pienza but was not.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Loistava henkilökunta

Miinukset: Parkkiongelma

Plussat: Parking situation poor. Breakfast buffet weak amenities in room. Poorer

Miinukset: Food, parking and room amenities

Plussat: This was my 3rd stay at the Hotel Corsignano and yet again it didn’t disappoint. Excellent accommodation, spotlessly clean, wonderful staff and a great breakfast. The location is very convenient for a walk into Pienza. I would stay here again without hesitation.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Breakfast was buffet style with a great selection of hot and cold foods. Espressos and cappuccinos were delightful. Well appointed room and hotel. Staff was friendly and engaging. Walking distance to the old town and easy to access by car. Definitely stay there again but for a week not 3 nights so we can do more day trips to the surrounding wineries.

Miinukset: Nothing. everything was what I expected.

Plussat: Great location convenient to the gates of Pienza but still quiet and a block away from the southern wall with great views of Val D' Orcia. I booked two rooms and got one with a great view and the other close to the deck with hot tub.

Plussat: The breakfast was very good. The staff was very attentive. The location is walking distance to everything. The was friendly and answered all of our questions. We enjoyed our stay.

Miinukset: No problems.

Plussat: Beautiful place and people!! You should not miss this place:)

Plussat: Perfect location for walking into the city center. Very nice room.

Miinukset: Parking was very limited but the staff was helpful

Plussat: Very friendly host!

Plussat: The room was very spacious, the garden and building were nice

Miinukset: The staff does not speak English which is hard especially when you need information

Plussat: Lovely and silent. The lady is very kind and helpful

Plussat: Cozy little apartment. Very comfortable bed and great shower much appreciated after a long hot day bike touring. Easy to find. Convenient location.

Plussat: Excellent location right in the center of Pienza, with a pretty garden. The apartment we rented was charming and the staff helpful and nice. We really enjoyed our stay.

Plussat: It was all gorgeous. Everything we could need in our room,breakfast available in the morning and a lovely clean place. Couldn't have asked for more.

Miinukset: Nothing.Beautiful guest house in a beautiful place.

Plussat: We really loved staying at Il Giardino Segreto. The room was very cozy. The owner has a great sense for details (full fridge with orange juice, yogurt, biscuits; and access to coffee) which renders your stay very comfortable. Moreover, she is very attentive and helpful (e.g., she let us do laundry although it is not a service provided by the hotel). The hotel is right in the city center with a beautiful garden that invites you to stay and enjoy the day.

Plussat: Location cannot be better. Price and value are spot on.

Miinukset: Breakfast is very basic and sweet only (which is not uncommen in Italy :-)

Miinukset: It was noisy in the room on the ground floor. Especially in the morning and late evening (breakfast and dinner time)

Plussat: The property is lovely. The room overall really nice. Pies and tarts ar breakfast really delicious. The food for dinner was ok.

Miinukset: If you open the window, you can hear all cars that pass on the busy road - in the summer this is definitely an issue. The windows are not very sound proof. You can hear the noise from the bathroom of the other room. A baby bed was outside the room on the halway - it looked very out of place.

Plussat: Our new home in central Italy ..

Miinukset: Leaving!

Plussat: What a lovely property. Right in the middle of Tuscan countryside, away from the hustle and bustle of towns but still a stone's throw away from Motepulciano and Pienza on either side. The property itself is pretty decadent, with tastefully decorated room displaying a rustic charm. But, probably the highlight of our stay was the food - homegrown ingredients, full of flavor awesomeness. At the end of the stay, we wished we would have stayed longer and resolved to return.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staff went over and above to be helpful with our future travel plans. The property was beautiful, the food was wonderful. Breakfast is included in your stay.

Miinukset: When booking, make sure to ask for a room that is all on one floor. With ours, the bed was upstairs from the dressing area and bathroom. This might be difficult for some.

Plussat: The staff was very accommodating and welcoming. Breakfast had a nice variety of foods. We ate dinner here every night and enjoyed every meal. It was so relaxing to go back after a busy day of seeing the countryside, have a drink and a wonderful meal, with no drive home afterward.

Miinukset: Our room had steps from the sleeping area down to the bathroom. Navigating the steps was especially challenging during the night.

Plussat: This is a stunning place. The rooms are delightful, and the grounds are beautiful. Our hosts looked after us in every way. We ate at the restaurant both nights that we stayed, the food was delicious, and the wine was fab. The view of Pienza from the pool was stunning. We loved our stay.

Plussat: Loved the location, the pool in the garden and the possibility to have breakfast in the garden.

Plussat: Staff were great. Location was great.

Miinukset: Room was not made up the entire time I stayed

Plussat: Nice people and good breakfast.

Miinukset: The bed creake and made noise for the slightest movement. The most importent element in your hotel investment is the bed and the sleep.

Plussat: Location, parking and Lucca, the owner was very attentive.

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Love the place. It's a very central location. There's easy parking on the property. The staff were great. We had a lovely stay there.

Miinukset: We didnt have a flask in the room and therefore didnt have any hot water to drink.

Plussat: Food

Plussat: location was excellent and parking on site. lovely rooms and friendly staff. loved the little pool at the side... a bonus!

Miinukset: nothing really!

Plussat: Very nice location. Beautiful building in a natural area. Nice breakfast. The staff was nice and helpful.

Plussat: The view there was amazing.

Miinukset: No wifi in the room

Plussat: The location is amazing! Very beautiful. The staff were very nice and helpful.

Miinukset: Very small shower

Plussat: Ystävällinen henkilökunta. Oikein hyvää lähiruokaa ja juomaa. Upeat maisemat. Hyvin hoidettu pihapiiri.

Miinukset: Hyttyset hieman kiusasi. Sisäsiisteys oli ihan ok mutta ei parasta mahdollista.

Plussat: Location, atmosphere, breakfast, staff and service are very good. We like the place and we enjoy our staying although we only had a short stay. Very close to Pienza. Lovely.

Miinukset: Shower room at downstair could be improved.

Plussat: Great view, great staff, good for families.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The renovated monastery is located in the beautiful Tuscan countryside. Very peaceful. We stayed two nights and decided to just enjoy the surroundings. We walked behind the hotel passing the tall pine trees, had our very own picnic and it was so much fun enjoying the outdoors. Restaurant food was delicious. The rooms suites have awesome views.

Plussat: It's a great view around the hotel

Miinukset: Dinner is not value for money

Plussat: Big size of room, super clean, great foods

Plussat: The property was fantastic. Found in the heart of Pienza, Italy, the property is recently updated, expertly manage, and located in a quiet area just a few feet from one of the best restaurants in town. Very well appointed with thoughtful, 'extra touches' and services we don't often find in other properties. Highly recommended!

Miinukset: There was an 'old food' smell in the entry hallway during the second day.

Plussat: Location is perfect, right in the middle of Pienza one of the prettiest town in Tuscany. Apartment was very clean, kitchen well equipped, bathroom as well. Breakfast each morning was a really nice. Very good contact with great and helpful host.

Plussat: Excellent stay. We stayed for 2 days, the bed was really comfortable, good breakfast serves in the room, great location. Really happy with this reservation.

Plussat: Perfect location, spacious room, flexible check-out time, lots of info on the city given at check-in.

Miinukset: Bathroom roof is very low - I’m 1.65m and had to crouch to take a shower. Room is on 3rd floor with no elevator.

Plussat: We loved this place, wished we could stay longer and would love to return for a longer stay. Very spacious room. Cozy and home-like feeling. The building itself is very impressive. Pienza turned out to be one of our favourite spots in Tuscany. Excellent restaurants round the corner. Breakfast served in the room was an unexpected special treat which we really enjoyed.

Miinukset: Being rather tall people, we hit our heads a couple of times until we got used to the low ceilings! :) But our 3-yr-old son loved the attic roofs... so it was still great!

Plussat: Our host, Andrea, was extremely helpful and hospitable. The property is perfectly located. The bed was very comfortable. The shower is small but with excellent hot water and water pressure. I would return and I highly recommend it to others.

Miinukset: The kitchen could use some measuring cups and measuring spoons for cooking. Otherwise it's very well equipped.

Plussat: Breakfast was good, especially the coffee. The location of this apartment was perfect, with nearby free public parking, shopping street, lots of restaurants.

Miinukset: We stayed in the small atique house on the top floor. I did not like three things about this property and host. 1. The shower was too short(I'm only 171 cms), I could not stand and shower. It was very inconvenient. There is no picture of any of the bath rooms in booking.com advertisement. 2. HOST WAS VERY RUDE. There were a few monster(believe me they were not a normal mosquitos) mosquitos in our apartment, my 3 yr old son got really scared and he did not want to sleep in the room. My wife felt uncomfortable as well. I asked the host politely, if they have got another room available for me. Read my full full conversation with the host. me: "Hi, sorry for bothering you at this time. I was wondering if you have some other room available." host: "For this night no we are full here.I have an apartment 200 meters far. Do you need another room for you?" me: "There was this big insect in the room. My wife and kid feels a bit uncomfortable here. Sorry. If you have something we would like to change." host: "It is only a fly! Kill the fly and go bed. Now you can' t change the room because it is in another building." There was no politeness from the host's reply. That was very rude. Me and my wife felt like "someone told us to shut the f*** up and sleep". We did not expect the host to provide us the alternate place to stay but a polite reply. 3. Kitchen usage is charged at 10 € per day which is not mentioned in booking.com. Really is not matching the advertisement.

Miinukset: Marvellous location. Breathtaking view. 5 star restaurant. Historical location

Plussat: The best place to travel around Tuscany. Nice breakfast with mountain view.

Plussat: Sijainti täydellinen, luostariympäristö oli hieno kokea, edullinen majoitus, hotellilta sain hyvät ohjeet parkkialueista etukäteen kun pyysin, rauhallista.

Miinukset: Hotellin ravintola oli tosi kallis ja annokset pieniä ja mauttomia. Emme saaneet viinilistaa ja saamamme viinilasilliset olivat pullon hintaisia kun vertasimme. Turisteja käytettiin hieman hyväksi. Mahtoiko kyseinen ravintola edes kuulua hotellille, mutta sitä respassa suositeltiin ja sinne menimme. Palvelu oli kyllä hyvää.

Plussat: Hotelli on mielettömän tunnelmallinen ja sijainti täydellinen.

Miinukset: Suihkusta tuli vain kylmää vettä.Aamupala vaatimaton.

Plussat: The location is excellent, this is a thoroughly modern hotel, and we were expecting something a little more historic. Parking was extremely difficult and we spent a stressful hour and a half getting our car parked for the night.

Miinukset: Having booked only a standard room,, we were put in a corner of the hotel where access to the stairs passed a rolling laundry cart. When checking in and trying to get our bearings, we were directed away from the main part of the hotel by the staff and told the separate stairwell was our area. Only the next morning when we went to breakfast did we discover the terrace and pool area. We felt we were treated a bit like second-class citizens, and it made for a disappointing stay.

Plussat: best breakfast during our trip in Tuscany :) outstanding view of terrace we could feel the atmospfere from the past recommend this hotel for everybody

Plussat: The hotel's location is excellent. Right in the center of the old town of Pienza. The structure itself is also very charming, as it is an old convent. The room was extremely quiet and warm. The restaurant terrace offers an amazing view.

Miinukset: The hotel facilities are very outdated including shower, bathrooms couch + chairs in the room and bedding. It could definitely use a renovation, and lower its star rating as well as prices until such renovation is completed. The breakfast options were largely focused on sweets and cakes, which tailors the Italian taste but not necessarily foreign ones. The breakfast/dining room can also get quite crowded during breakfast times, which might be a bit unpleasant. The staff at reception during check out was not very professional.

Plussat: This is a great family run hotel that I have stayed at before. The people are wonderful, the breakfast good, and the location is hard to beat!

Miinukset: I have no complaints about the hotel at all. I'll stay there next time I'm in Pienza

Plussat: Exceptional kindness of staff

Miinukset: No

Plussat: Very friendly staff, excellent breakfast, clean and comfortable room. Our stay could not have been more pleasant. Owner takes great interest in our comfort and care, being very helpful in anything we needed.

Miinukset:

Plussat: friendly staff, good breakfast

Miinukset:

Plussat: Well located -

Miinukset: Parking is somewhat confusing -
