Farmhouse Val d’orcia 1

"Though my beautiful new wife might roll her eyes at my writing style I'm going to keep this really simple. We dragged two families and a load of friends from across the globe and hired out this farmhouse for a week to celebrate our wedding and never ONCE doubted that we had made the right decision. Everything was first class and I am still in awe. The crew are world class and will do simply anything in their power to make your stay as comfortable as ever. Though the families stayed at the farmhouse, we had friends in neighboring accommodation that were looked after with the same ease and professionalism. We knew we'd made the right decision and only wish we can relive it all again.

My wife has written about this farmhouse numerous times and so I won't go on about Dave's food, the veiw, the rooms, the pool, the service....its worth every bit of press. We love the whole thing and are already planning our next trip!"

"We loved our first trip to the farmhouse a couple of years ago so much, we just celebrated our daughter's wedding there. The week leading up to the wedding was delightful, with great meals all week long, a well researched, engaging (and delicious) brunello tasting session with the owner, cooking class by David and a fantastic wood fired pizza night. The wedding and reception went off smoothly with great skill by the staff, our 65 guests felt they had experienced a truly unique event in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Can't say enough about what a special place this is, or thank the team of the farmhouse enough for their great charm and professionalism."

"It is difficult to describe with words how amazing this place is. It was our second time visiting, and while we rarely ever go to the same place again, we loved it so much we booked again this year. We were so eager to stay here that we planned our trip around the availability we found here. And it didn't disappoint. On the contrary, we are looking forward to coming back soon.

There are so many special things about this farmhouse. First, we absolutely love the views. It is perched on top of a hill, amidst farmland, you see herds of sheep grazing the fields nearby, and you are gifted with almost 360 degrees of uninterupted views of rolling tuscan golden hills. The views are breathtaking, and the sunsets are exquisite!

The farmhouse is restored with a modern feel, white furniture and clean lines while still achieving to be "tuscan". There is free WiFi and the rooms have air conditioning. The shower rooms are very spacious with all modern fixtures. It has just a few rooms,  seven or eight, and a big plan open kitchen and communal living area. There is no 'reception' as such but there is always someone there responsible to make sure all guests are tended to. Everyone working here is super friendly and polite. However, if you expect a 'service' by the pool' place, this is not for you. The service and hospitality is subtle, understated. You are left feeling more like you are staying at someone's house, with the extra benefit of knowing that someone is in charge, that your room is professionally cleaned and michelin star quality alfresco dinners await for you.

The farmhouse is also beautifully located to explore some of the most beautiful towns/villages in the area, such as Pienza, Montalcino, Montepulciano etc. We are just in love with this place. One of our favourite places in the world!"
