“Pienza, Montepulciano, Montalcino, and Val D'Orcia Home Base Nestled Among Olive Groves”

We stayed in the Granaio cottage and it was great. Spacious with lots of room. The surroundings were well kept and the breakfast was excellent and tasty. We had dinner next to the fireplace one night and it was terrific. We walked among the olive groves and purchased some homemade extra virgin olive oil. Livia and the rest of the staff were very friendly and gave us a warm greeting.

The bathroom window lacked a covering so we had to hang up a towel for privacy.

“Beautiful views at rustic location”

Close to multiple towns, stunning views, beautiful large pool, delicious on-site dinner

Despite offering experiences like wine tours and sailing, our inquiries went unanswered until day of, which was then too late (when we had emailed with things we wanted to do, we were encouraged to book activities when we arrived). I would recommend going into this stay as more of a house rental where you should expect to do everything yourself (including replenish supplies like toilet paper).

Commentaar van de Eigenaar

Commentaar van de Eigenaar Good morning, we are sorry if we are not able to comunicate that some activities are posssible only if the meteo is ok. Sailing is a nice experience if there is a good meteo. Actually we are not able to have sure prevision of the meteo in advance. We are not a guide for Wine tour but we propose some many vinery easy to visit. We are in the center beetween the best wine of Tuscany and in few km you can arrive. Then if you need a driver we could have a conctact with a service with driver. our warmest regards Giacomo

“Lovely property in an unspoiled corner of the Tuscany”

The staff and property were so lovely. The pool was perfection. We had several meals at the restaurant and they didn't disappoint. Peaceful and pleasant. Highly recommend.

We had the little cottage Granio. Overall just adorable, comfortable and well maintained. The cottage's garden area was a disappointment, however, as it was not maintained, had no flat surface for the table and chairs, and had old plastic chairs. We've written this to the owners as well as everything else was just lovely. I'm sure they'll correct this as the rest of the property's landscaping were gorgeous.

“Wonderful place close to beautiful towns and wine areas”

Very beautiful surroundings, nice terrace to the Lippo Vanni and great pool with many deck chairs. Large apartment with big kitchen and lots of kitchen wear and cutleries. Nice restaurant at the premises and a good wine card at reasonable prices. Andrea is very helpful.

As the restaurants in the area requires a car and therefor a designated driver, it's great to eat at the premises some nights and was also one of our requirements for choosing agriturismo. The downside is that there's only a fixed menu at between 35-45€ which is on the high side. Especially comparing to the prices at the restaurants in the area. When you have kids who don't eat that much and would settle for a pasta it would be great to be able to order a'la carte.

“An excellent place. The innkeepers were friendly and accommodating. Beautiful surroundings and the buildings are wonderful.”

Location and grounds are excellent. Dinner was great. Friendly staff. Andrea and Giacomo are wonderful hosts. This is one of the best places I've stayed in the world.

The Internet access could be a bit stronger but given the vacation aspect of this trip we didn't really find this a problem. No real negatives. Great place.

“A quaint cottage, lovely view and nice owners”

8.1 Lees hier de complete beoordeling

Friendly and helpful owners. There was a very nice view of a lovely valley and hills from the cottage we were in. We didn't cook, but there were plenty of cooking utensils, bowls, plates, cups, etc. if we had decided to cook. Although it cost extra, the buffet breakfast was worth purchasing. It was excellent with fresh local foods and freshly made breakfast pastries.

When it rained a small amount of water leaked through the sliding glass bedroom door which got items on floor near the door a little damp, and also seemed to bring in ants. There were other benign insects as well in the cottage, particularly in the evening, but it is a very rural agricultural location and the cottage is adjacent to fields, so insects are really not that unexpected. One just needs to be prepared for the fact that there might be some.

Commentaar van de Eigenaar

Commentaar van de Eigenaar Buon giorno Eric,grazie per la recensione e per l'opportunità di poter precisare che il prezzo per la degustazione di olio che facciamo qui in azienda è di 20 euro a persona.La nostra non è un semplice assaggio ma un corso accellerato di degustazione che dura almeno 1,5 h facendo assaggiare numeri olii (i nostri 7 olii prodotti nella nostra azienda sia monovarietali che blend) ed insegnando a riconoscere gli olii difettati rettificati e deodorati.Il proprietario non è un operaio ma un esperto Dottore Agronomo e gli olii che vengono proposti sono il risultato una un lungo lavoro di selezione varietale. Tutti gli olii vengono presentati con analisi chimiche e descrizioni accurate provvenienti da Pannel test.Circa metà dell'Olio venduto nel mondo è con un etichetta che riconduce all'Italia (1.500.000 ton). L'italia produce al amssimo il 15-20% di questo olio.Noi cerchiamo di dare le basi fondamentali per riconoscere e capire la differenza tra un olio di qualità superiore e un olio industriale.

The moment we drove up to the place we were in heaven. The views are so stunning with olive trees, nature and wild horses in the distance. The Farmhouse was beautiful and stuck in time while the amenities were up to par. The staff was so helpful and fun and invested in us having the best Tuscan experience. 4 days and they already feel like old friends!

Only negative comments would be that the internet only worked outside by the main house but not in personal spaces. Also the cottage we stayed at was close to a main road so cars would drive by but it was barely noticeable.

Dinner at the farm house is nice but comparable price to what you would spend in one of the towns. Recommend cooking at home one night! Don't hesitate to ask host family for anything you may need...they are more than willing to help you out!

Good location. Excellent dishes in kitchen stocked with plenty of bowls, serving platters well equipped etc. Very authentic

The ping pong table was warped and rickety. The bikes were in very poor condition-only 2 seemed rideable and safe and we were a family of 4 so could not use them as we had planned. Internet only available in the common room and not in our accommodation which was a short walk away-this was a little inconvenient.

Everything cost extra-including AC which the website stated it had (but not at a cost.) No iron in the cabin. 1 towel each for 1 week. Min stay is a week and I feel that laundry (1 or 2 free loads) or providing one afternoon to each guest should be supplied. Instead there is a cost for this. The continental breakfast did not include cheese and cold cuts-you had to pay extra for this. We've travelled extensively through Italy and Europe and have never ever encountered this. The Truffle hunt which my husband and 2 sons went on was 10E each and the tour guide didn't speak English! They simply followed the man with the dogs searching for truffles. No translator, no no tiny taste of truffle. Very disappointing for the cost. Olive Oil tasting was also offered but we and other guests were hesitant because the lack of information of what it entailed. Their menu of activities should specify such as "a 2hr event which starts in the olive groves examining different trees and olives and ends with sampling some of the farms most popular oils". We were worried that it would end up being just us in the kitchen tasting different oils and would have no educational component. Overall, the place is lovely. The owners are nice. Well located property to explore the region. Just be prepared to pay above average prices for things that may normally be included elsewhere.

Commentaar van de Eigenaar The client would like all everything without paying anything.Allow me to point out that we offer our customers:2 towels per person,we do laundry (at a cost of 8 Euros per washing machine 8 kg),the air conditioning have a price because in the past some customers have abused. The price is the same that we pay Energy (â‚¬ 0.22 to Kwh). Just about on bicycles, we have 10 bikes that let free to customers. Unfortunately that week (august) some were under mechanical repair. Regarding the truffle hunt I think it's a unique and unrepeatable day which ends with a rich truffle-based dinner. You had booked for this dinner but when you came back from searching with dogs you said that you don't like it and involved also another guest in the farmhouse, this is not fair. You also booked for the tasting oil but without showing up, this is not fair, especially if you also criticize without participate....You must try before criticize...

“A place anyone just wants to stay forever...just perfect”

Besides of the fantastic surrounding, accomodation and else, we enjoyed very much the company of the owner family. We felt as being part of this place. The location is great, quick at any famous town, still a bit remote to enjoy the peaceful and quite landscapes. The owner organized several home-cooking which were definitely a highlight.

No negative aspect at all!

Though it is already sometime, we keep remembering our wonderful time at your place. We hope all is fine, especially all the best to Rosella. May make a full recovery. Many thanks for everything and hope we catch up again in near future. We are certainly planning to go back! Greetings from Hong Kong

“Stunning setting looking over olive groves”

We loved our stay at the Pienza 1928 farm. It was perfect for our family. The apartment was even nicer than it looked online (and we looked at some other apartments on the property too and they were all fantastic: large, airy, with great furniture and accessories.) We were looking at other apts since we hope to go back at some point with friends. The olive oil tasting was great, the bbq looking over the hills as the sun went down was just amazing, and the entire place exceeded our expectations in every way. Giacomo, Rosella, and Laura were welcoming and lovely.

There was nothing negative about our stay (with, perhaps, the slight exception that it would have been great if the pool had opened earlier).

“Amazing get away! Would go back in a minute.”

The house we stayed in was perfect for a small family. The owners were wonderful. They made us feel at home so much so our four year old did not want to leave his friends. The breakfast always had good variety and everything had personal and homemade touches. They also gave a tour of thier olive oil production that we loved.

Make sure you ask their opinion on what to do. Thanks to their advice we feel we had all the best experiences.

“ Delightful!! ”

What a charming olive farm and delightful hosts. Just by chance we arrived on time for the harvest and witnessed the process from the picking to the pressing. We were invited to pick the olives and watch the process of pressing and bottling some of Italys finest olive oil. Our hosts passion about the product was amazing, as was his knowledge of every aspect!! Our hostess was gracious, kind and helpful and an excellent cook! Even the dog and cats made us feel welcome as they came by the cottage often to warm a lap or get a cuddle. Our stay was simply delightful and we added 3 extra nights that were available.

“Fantastic Location and fantastic people!”

Had a fantastic visit to Pienza 1928. We unfortunately were quite late at arriving but were welcomed enthusiastically by Giacomo (the owner) who actually arranged a fantastic dinner despite us not having requested this in advance. The location was super and allowed for great day trips all around the region and the owners gave us excellent advice for places to go and see. We stayed in the cottage and loved the accommodations and took advantage of the swimming pool every afternoon. Giacomo, Rosella and Laura were great hosts! We just had a fantastic time there and Pienza 1928 really was a highlight of our Italy trip. Would go back in a second!

“A lovely week.”

We had a great week here. The farm is in a beautiful location overlooking the Val D'Orcia and Mt. Amiata. The view from the pool was amazing. Giacomo, Rosella and Laura made us feel very welcome and we enjoyed some excellent meals in the evenings. The common room with the billiards table was a nice way to meet other guests and our kids really enjoyed this social side. One evening Giacomo took us truffle hunting and in the evening we had a meal based around this which was really special. I hope we get back here some day.

In the area we visited Siena, Montepulciano, Pienza and San Quirico. All lovely places to visit and still feel like there's so much more to see. A beautiful part of the world.

“The most enjoyable week in Toscana”

The farm is in impeccable state, lovingly cared for by Giacomo and Rossella. The grounds are picturesque. Giacomo and Rossella are great, fun, caring hosts. The room we stayed in was well appointed and served great as our home base. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner of Florentine steak and house specialties and seriously considered buying another suitcase to bring the farmhouse's olive oil in volume. I would happily stay there another week.

Very pretty location. Convenient to Multipulciano, Siena Rosella and Giacomo are welcoming hosts. Rosella gave our wives cooking lessons, very fun.interesting to hear about olive oil production.

Only thing to suggest is send a local map to the location. Very hard to find after dark, and we did not have a detailed map. But we made it

We got back late after Florence and giacomo suggested montefulciano for restaurants. Small town that we never would have visited but fine restaurants there.

7.4 Lees hier de complete beoordeling

We stayed at this place with a large group of friends and occupied nearly all rooms over a weekend for our wedding. Rosella and Giacome are great hosts and very friendly. Their property is amazing and extremely scenic and they continue to improve.

During check out there were a lot of hidden charges of which not all were expected (not communicated). When I arrived home I realized that I was not credited back my 1,000 euro deposit that I made. I outlined the issue in an email and never received a correction or even acknowledgement to my request to credit this back which has obviously upset me.

Great area, great property, but would not recommend any future stay based on my experience.

Commentaar van de Eigenaar We are very sorry for this comment happened from the fact that Mr. Michiel had booked the entire hotel for 4 nights for his wedding. Marriage was made in our farm, and it was very nice. The problem of the last bill it's becouse many guests arrived 1 day later and left 1 day before of the originally booked (the 4 nights ) We have agreed at the end on an friendly bill of 1000 Euros instead of 1395 Euros. ----------------------- We are very sorry that Mr. Michiel after staying 3 nights in april 2013 (apartment Duccio, brekfast, lunch and Dinner) free of charge, after all the help and attentions, after the many changes in the organization in the last minute, it also allows us dishonest. Mr. Michiel would not recommend us. We do not recommend the hoteliers to have him because he's an impossible customer .....

“Fantastic Spot, Incredible Family!”

The family dinners were incredibly delicious and so memorable! We also loved the olive oil tasting, and will be ordering a bunch of olive oil after the next harvest. The Granaio Cottage was perfect for us and the entire property was beautiful! We will definitely be back and highly recommend this property to anyone!

We were hoping for a bit more help coordinating activities such as a cooking class with Rosella, a wine tasting at a local winery, fishing, etc. We definitely enjoyed a relaxing vacation and were able to do a number of fantastic things in the region, but since the family was so knowledgeable and knew many other people, we were hoping to get a bit more help. We also did a great 20K bike ride but the bikes on the property were very old. It would be nice to have newer bikes and helmets to ride when we return in the future!!

Eat dinner with the family every night! There is NO better way to experience Tuscany in our opinion! Be sure to do the olive oil tasting as well, it is wonderful and very informative! If you can, stay in Granaio - it is beautiful and so peaceful.

“Very helpful and hospitable owners who want you to have the best holiday possible”

Guacamo and Rosella, as well as Andrea, Laura and Sylvia could not have been better hosts. They gave us a load of information about the area and went out of their way to make us welcome. Their recommendations of places to visit was very helpful. Rosella's meals were delicious and set in the beautiful courtyard. There was too much to eat! Guacamo told us a lot about the cultivation of olives and gave us a tasting of his range of oil. He organised a truffle hunt for anyone wishing to go, and was very generous with the truffles at the shared meal afterwards. The risotto with truffle was the best thing I ate during our holiday, and I am not a great fan of risotto! Thank you to the whole family for making this an unforgettable holiday.

We said to Guacamo that a toaster in the Granaio would be a great help, and I am sure one will be there soon.

Visit the terracotta museum in the beautiful nearby village of Petroio. Have a delicious lunch at the little restaurant in Castelmuzio. The ragout is delicious. It is well worth making the trip to see the Duomo in Siena.

“Волшебный вид, прекрасное место.”

Действительно захватывающий вид. Тишина, чистый воздух. По настоящему семейное предприятие, что вызывает уважение. Действительно любят то, чем занимаются и любят эту землю и приятно смотреть на этих людей - они замечательно выглядят! Хозяева говорят на английском и французском языках. Хорошие номера, обставленные и декорированные с большой любовью и вкусом, с использованием антикварных элементов. Хороший бассейн с лежаками. Достаточное количество лежаков, столиков и стульев в общественных зонах. Очень приятные хозяева Розела и Джакомо, стараются сделать все возможное, чтобы отдых был комфортным. Нашей дочке особенно полюбилась девушка сына хозяев Сильвия - она готовила очень вкусные завтраки и была необыкновенно внимательна к нам! Она всегда помнила кто какой напиток предпочитает и ее кофе был великолепным! А омлет, который она готовила, был очень вкусным! Завтрак в этом месте запомнится нам надолго - очень вкусно, наш дом на вершине холма, веранда на которой мы завтракаем над долиной, окутанной утренней дымкой, сквозь которую проступают силуэты городов и башен замков, но до них прекрасные поля. А позади вас стоит старинный дом, где на втором этаже живут хозяева, и Розела, высунувшись в окно, машет вам рукой, а из соседнего окна из сын Андреа здоровается с вами...Это стоит увидеть! В первый день мы посетили барбекю, которое устраивали хозяева для всех гостей. Для нас было дороговато, но надо отдать должное, это было замечательно!!! Была чудесная компания -постоянные гости - приятнейшие бельгийцы, хозяева и мы.Такого вкусного мяса редко можно встретить! Было неограниченное количество местного вина, кстати, очень вкусного. Когда гости разошлись, мы остались с хозяевами и еще долго сидели и очень сердечно разговаривали, это было замечательно! Джакомо имеет высокую занятость, сам выполняет многие работы, мы видели его и сына на тракторе. Не смотря на занятость, всегда есть кто-то из членов семьи, готовые помочь. Собственная продукция - вино и масло. Все очень вкусное! Для нас дороговато, но никто не навязывал и мы рады что решили купить масло. Просто великолепное масло. Уезжая, мы уже мечтали вернуться!

Мы не нашли отрицательных сторон. Есть только пара небольших замечаний Если у вас аллергия на кошек, будьте внимательны - на ферме живут много котов. Для нас это не было проблемой, наоборот - ребенок был доволен, коты не агрессивны. Нам хотелось бы чтобы меняли полотенца. Мы не поняли как часто их меняют и постеснялись попросить. Мы были всего три дня и, возможно, просто не застали смену.

Номер "Мирт" в котором мы жили и номер "Лаванда" имеют общую крохотную гостиную, в которой есть холодильник и диванчик. Пока не приехали соседи нам было комфортно, с соседями уже тесновато. В следующий раз я бы выбрала номера на террасе. Вообще помимо нас были еще французы, австрийцы, немцы и бельгийцы. Я была удивлена что такие замечательные, культурные и просвященные народы как австрийцы и французы имеют таких напыщенных, невежливых и даже хамоватых представителей. Они всем своим видом показывали свое превосходство и натурально кривили лицо при нашем приближении. У нас соседи были приятные немцы, но в следующий раз я бы предпочла не рисковать и не жить в таком тесном соседстве. Барбекю достаточно дорого, но один раз стоит попробовать - это настоящий шикарный итальянский ужин - сначала закуски (никогда не ела таких вкусных помидор с моцареллой), потом паста и потом (если еще останется место) вкуснейшее мясо нескольких видов. а еще сыры... Обязательно купите сыры в фермерской лавке около Монтельпучано (Джакомо подскажет) - они великолепны и недорого. Там же вкусное мясо. До Флоренции и до Сиенны примерно полтора часа и сорок минут соответственно. Оба города обязательны к посещению! Пьенца не показалась интересной, а вот Монтельпучано понравилось. Вообще все очень близко, но из-за холмов дорога петляет и детей может укачивать. Недалеко от места есть аутлет (шоппинг центр) - не тратьте свое время там совсем нет ничего интересного! лучше останьтесь днем в бассейне! Вообще, в следующий раз мы планируем больше оставаться и выезжать только ближе к вечеру.

“Comfortable and welcoming family farm in Tuscany”

Excellent food, very nice pool, beautiful views, very nice family and very helpful with information.

Not much negative at all - it's a rustic farm, but the location, view and nice family, food & pool make up for the basic somewhat rustic accomodations.

Have at least one meal here...the food is fresh & delicious! We also recommend the "pizza making" class. Ask for info on the towns nearby to visit - Montepulciano, Montalcino, Pienza, Castelmuzio & Montefollinico. No TV in our accomodations, but there was a communal TV, but we never used it. Wifi signal was not very strong for our kids iPads to download, but this is the country & you are on vacation so just know that.

“Heartwarming hospitality, beautiful views, great food, perfect location...”

We stayed at Pienza 1928 for a full week at the end of May. We were a bit unlucky with the weather. It was cold for the time of year, with some rain and wind. But we had a great time and enjoyed it very much. On our way back home we were already discussing going back to the property with a bigger group. The hospitality of the family is heartwarming. The family is really doing all they can to make sure you enjoy your stay. There was another couple where the heather initially didn’t work. When they reported it, the family made sure the problem was solved in a few hours. Only this couple mentioned it on their 2nd or 3rd day. Don’t hesitate to let them know. They want to help! Ask them where to go, what to visit.. In the morning then you can let the family know if you want to join for dinner. We did that at least 3 or 4. They serve great food from fresh local ingredients. It’s not cheap but they go for high quality and fresh local ingredients, every day. And realize you’re a guest on a farm in operation. This is not a 4 or 5 star hotel with all its luxury. You’re on a farm dating from the 13th century. Some of the equipment is basic but more than sufficient. And it comes with 5 star hospitality! Staying on a farm like this gives the opportunity to experience the Tuscan culture and lifestyle. If you want you can really get in touch with the family. The primary product of this farm is olive oil. And they’re proud of it and passionate about it, and rightly so. It’s super olive oil and of course they will try to sell you some. They successfully did to us and we’re still enjoying it! It extends our vacation, still tasting the flavors of the place back at home. The location is perfect in a beautiful part of Tuscany, Val D’Orcia. Very close to medieval towns like Montepulciano, Montalcino, Pienza, and only an hour drive from Sienna, thru the astonishing countryside (you can also get to Sienna faster via the highway, but don’t). The farm is at an altitude of 600 meter overlooking the beautiful valley. We stayed (as a couple) in the La Tabacchiera, a beautiful little house, approx. 50 yards from the main farmhouse. It has a living room, bathroom and kitchen downstairs and two bedrooms upstairs. Bathroom and kitchen are basic but sufficient. On the front and back you have something like an acre of grass land and it overlooks the olive grove. We want to go back and we will go back!

Make use of the opportunity to have dinner! Don't forget to ask the family if there is any issue (they will help)

“Pas tout à fait conforme aux attentes. Quelques déceptions.”

6 Lees hier de complete beoordeling

Gîte "Granaio" très coquet et propre. Sanitaires en bon état et lit confortable.

Malgré l'annonce d'une connexion internet WiFi, ça ne fonctionne pas. Ni dans notre gîte ni dans les bâtiments principaux. Très décevant quand le gîte a été choisi en fonction de la possibilité d'avoir accès à internet. La cuisine ne comprend que les commodités de base; pas de micro-ondes, de lave-vaisselle, de cafetière. Dans un contexte de vacances, il est peu intéressant de ne pouvoir réchauffer rapidement un repas pour ensuite consacrer le plus de temps possible à explorer la région. Réchauffer un simple plat préparé acheté au supermarché prend tellement de temps (autant pour réchauffer au four que pour ensuite nettoyer tout) que le fait d'avoir accès à une cuisine perd son sens sauf pour de petits en-cas froids. Il est toutefois possible de manger (souper et petit déjeuner) avec les propriétaires dans leur maison avec d'autres touristes. Informez-vous des coûts de ces repas pour éviter les surprises au final car les propriétaires ne le font pas d'emblée. Pour un touriste d'un pays extérieur une invitation à venir partager un repas avec eux peut être interprété comme "sans frais", ce qui n'est pas le cas. Aussi, il est décevant que le vin servi au repas soit uniquement du vin rouge. Si vous ne buvez que du vin blanc, aucune alternative mais vous paierez le même prix que les convives qui boivent du vin rouge toute la soirée!

Vérifier à l'avance les commodités selon vos besoins avant de réserver et assurez-vous que ce qui est proposé fonctionne (ex: connexion internet).

“Bliss”

Giacomo and his family really go out of their way to ensure you have a great time. We arrived early in the morning and Giaco was kind enough to give us a tour of the estate and a very detailed summary of the surrounding landscape and what landmarks were visible. It is a truly beautiful setting. Giaco and his son Andrea were always about to answer questions and make suggestions for places to visit. Giaco even took us to his freind's vineyard to learn more about the wine making process. We were a little lazy and opted to have dinner at the farm house a couple of evenings and it was delicious - they are very modest about their home made wine, but it is very good.

The perfect place really - if I have to pick one thing, it could be the lack of transparency on prices. We found we always had to ask how much things (dinner, breakfast) would cost so we could plan our budget. It doesn't need to be a secret though as is it very good value!

We used the free bikes, and from the farm were able to do a round tour through Petroio, Castelmuzio, Montisi and then back again. The return leg is tough going, but well worth it. Get some sandwiches made up for you in the little shop in Montisi - amazing!

“Fantastic place, can not say more about the owners, they were wonderful. This will be the place we stay at when we go to Tuscany from now on. Rosella and Giacomo made us feel at home. Their food and vino were terrific ”

Everything about this place was wonderful . The grounds are beautiful and it is so peaceful there. We were with another couple so we had the whole upstairs to ourselves with two full bedrooms and bathrooms,kitchen and living room. Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!

None what so ever

Ask the owners about going to some of the small villages in the area. It's priceless and you see how the real Italians live. You don't see hardly any tourists in these villages. It's so unique. One of our highlights of our trip. We loved it all and the owners made you feel like family, we had a great time.

“Hospitality galore! Loved the cottage accommodation.”

The owners, Rosella and Jacomo, are gracious and friendly hosts. They made us feel like part of their family, inviting us to dine with them and enjoy late night conversations over a glass of their own wine. We enjoyed the private patio and gardens. Easy access to Pienza and hilltop towns of Tuscany.

Don't hesitate to ask Jacamo to show you his wine cellar, tucked away under the 13th century cottage. Wish we had had time to take a cooking class from Rosella. Take your flyrod and ask Lucca to show you the fishing lake across the road.

The accommodation and food were great, the setting wonderful and our hosts made it special, offering a great combination of freedom to do what we wanted and support and help when we needed it.Before arriving, we were asked if we would like dinner which was very welcoming. On arrival our hosts were very friendly and accommodating and provided all we asked for, including taking us to another winery to see the operation. We could not have asked for a better holiday or a nicer palce to stay

Cant think of any

Lots of wonderful places to visit in the area. The navigator is helpful but beware of heading into the old towns- in a bigger car!

Commentaar van de Eigenaar

Commentaar van de Eigenaar Premettendo che le recensioni sono un mezzo importante, dove il cliente esprimendo le sue valutazioni sul posto dove ha soggiornato, oltre che far comprendere meglio ad altri potenziali clienti pregi e difetti della struttura, permette a noi gestori di capire se c'è qualcosa da migliorare per far stare meglio i nostri cliente. E quindi ringraziamo per la segnalazione circa il letto che ''cigolava'' e ci scusiamo per non esserci accorti del problema prima dell'arrivo del Sig. Lasnier e di nostro malgrado non essere stati in grado di risolvere il problema perchè a metà agosto le fabbriche e i negozi in Italia sono tutti chiusi. Ora il letto è già stato sostituito con uno nuovo. Per quanto riguarda gli altri appunti di viaggio del Sig. Lasnier dobbiamo obbiettare e precisare circa le sue affermazioni. Il nostro è un agriturismo improntato sulla familiarità e cordialità, dove cerchiamo di prestare attenzione alle esigenze dei clienti e di fare del nostro meglio per rendere piacevole il loro soggiorno, di certo può capitare di non accontentare in tutto tutti. Il Sig. Lasnier, alla fine della vacanza, sottolineando tutti i disagi della vacanza, pretendeva uno sconto sul prezzo concordato in fase di prenotazione e ricattandoci diceva che se gli facevamo pagare l'aria condizionata, avrebbe scritto un recensione negativa su di noi. Ci spiace se non è stata di gradimento il cottage TABACCHIERA, che è scritto chiaramente sul sito essere per 4 persone,e non per 4-6 persone . Inoltre sempre scorrendo sul sito c'è scritto chiaramente che il climatizzatore è un extra opzionale in base al consumo effettivo al costo di 0,23 Euro/Kwh (costo della corrente). Circa gli altri appunti precisiamo che la cucina è molto grossa e arreddata con cura per 4 persone con camino, e con un simpatico tavolo rotondo dove possono sedere comodamente piu' di 8 persone. La caffettiera in dotazione non è per 1 persona, ma è una tipica caffettiera bialetti per 4 tazze di caffe' all'italiana. Il primo giorno su segnalazione del Sig. Lasnier abbiamo fornito un' altra caffettiera bialetti da 8 tazze. Potevamo fornire anche la macchina per caffe' all'americana ma non ci è stata richiesta. Per cio' che riguarda la connessione internet con wi-fii (gratuita) . Sappiamo che nel cottage Tabacchiera, come in alcune stanze del antico casale il segnale non arriva in modo efficace, ma abbiamo tre sorgenti che ripetono il segnale in tutti gli spazi comuni, nel piazzale all'ingresso, nella zona piscina e nella zona Bar e in molte parti degli appartamenti. Comunque abbiamo già in programma a fine stagione di potenziare il segnale con un'antenna sul tetto. Circa la televisione mancante nel cottage, abbiamo preferito metterne una grossa satellitare nel grosso salone con biliardo, spazio comune a disposizione di tutti i clienti. Ultimo appunto di viaggio è la critica circa la cena a barbeque che contestiamo vivamente: infatti non capiamo come possa il Sig. Lasnier fare una critica gratuita alla cena circa il prezzo e la qualità, se non vi ha neppure partecipato. Il prezzo richiesto di 45 EURO a persona adulta,comprendeva: aperitivo in piscina con un particolare prosecco non filtrato, con 4 tipi di bruschette, assaggi di salumi e pecorini Toscani. Sotto il gazebo vicino al barbecue, dove c'è una lunga tavolata abbiamo servito: piatto di pasta, grigliata di salsicce di cinta e chianina, costoline di cinta senese, e una tagliata fatta con le mitiche bistecche Fiorentina di razza Chianina di ben Kg 2,5, con contorni di verdure grigliate del nostro orto, il tutto accompagnato da vini a volontà presentati dal nostro vicino e amico produttore Sig. Marco Capitoni, che è venuto a farci una degustazione dei suoi eccellenti vini. Alla fine Vin Santo con cantucci fatti in casa, caffe' e grappa e tanta ALLEGRIA....

“The owners were lovely and very helpful - every request was dealt with promptly and without complaint. The surroundings and view are superb and the swimming pool is clean, large and was a great place for the family to congregate and have fun.”

We loved the views, the rooms and the eating areas - particularly our terrace and the pool areas, both of which had fabulous views.

The kitchen could do with some reorganisation and refurbishment, but was perfectly functional.

Don't miss the owners' BBQs. The food and wine were wonderful and the atmosphere very convivial. The evening was great fun. Definitely a highlight of our stay.

“Wonderful Experience”

Absolutely lovely setting with a great view. Giancomo and Rosella were wonderful as is the whole family. They were very helpful, friendly, accomodating and so willing to arrange whatever we and others requested. Help and advice was readily given. Relaxed environment. Nice pool and common area with a pool table. We enjoyed the little bar they had overlooking a spectacular view of the countryside.

The beds in our unit "Tabachheria" were very squeaky and hard, but the rest of the house was charming and comfortable.

The ownders made every effort to make our stay comfortable and memorable. The owners put on a wonderful banquet meal for all the guests staying at Pienza 1928 complete with truffles and a visit by one of the local wineries for a tasting. They also arranged, on another evening, a visit for guests to another local winery and dinner at a local village hosting a drama festival. We had the best home cooked Italian meals at Pienza 1928! We asked for dinner on several occasions and had the most wonderful meals. Helpful advice on what to see and do and even assistance with making arrangements made our stay at Pienza 1928 special, interesting and relaxing. The owners were great about kids showed an interest in them. We had a lovely stay here and would recommend Pienza 1928 to anyone.

“Toscana íntima”

Cuando uno llega al lugar de vacaciones elegido en la web, normalmente se da cuenta de que han ofrecido la mejor cara o que han ocultado información. En el caso de Pienza 1928 la realidad supera a lo esperado. La casa, el entorno, las vistas y las instalaciones son de una belleza sobrecogedora. La guinda del pastel la pone la familia propietaria. Hacen que te sientas como en casa. Consiguen un equilibrio perfecto entre simpatía, afecto, disponibilidad y respeto por la intimidad. La comida típica toscana que ofrecen tiene la frescura de la comida casera con productos propios, y a un precio razonable. Pienza 1928 deja una huella que no se borra con el paso del tiempo.

Este lugar y esta gente me transmiten justo la sensación que siempre he querido experimentar al ver películas sobre la Toscana.

“Our stay at Pienza exceeded all expectations! ”

My husband and I stayed at Pienza 1928 on our honeymoon, and we couldn't have been more pleased. We ate dinner most nights with the family and other guests, and I would recommend anyone staying do this as well! Rosella, Giacomo, Andre, and Sylvia were helpful and so interesting to get to know. We stayed in Granoia cottage, which had a great kitchen that allowed us to cook our own breakfasts and lunches. Pienza 1928 was perfectly situated for viewing all the small hill towns, Florence and Sienna, but we found it hard to leave the farm everyday! We hope to return in the not so distant future...

Ask Giacomo and Rosello for advice on towns to visit. They are very knowledgable and happy to give tips. Also, ask Giacomo for a lesson in olive oil tasting. But fair warning: You'll never feel the same about your grocery store bought oil again!

“Wonderful!”

Giacomo and Rosella are such gracious hosts. They allowed our family to enjoy our time on their property, and yet were available when needed. On the first night, we enjoyed a family meal that Rosella made, that was perhaps our best meal together as a family. I am truly dissapointed to not have taken back more of Giacomo's wine, because after tasting wine in many regions of Italy, we all agreed that his wine was excellent. Lauryn (5) and Drew (1.5) thoroughly enjoyed roaming the farm looking for butterflies, and rocks of course for Drew. (I think I took have some Tuscan pebbles he collected in his backpack!) Great setting, beautiful mornings with the mist covering the hills. This location was great for visiting Florence, Siena, Montepluciano, Perugia, and others. The kids really enjoyed Tommy. Lauryn was very sad to leave! We really enjoyed making our own meals from locale produce, meat, cheese, etc,. picked up from close towns like Sinalunga, Montelpuciano, etc.

Do take up their offer of a meal. Authentic, passionate cooking. Do wander the olive groves, truly relax. I have read many evaluations of this and other agriturismos and would say be aware of your expectations to any place going in. Expect comfortable-rustic, not hotel-shiny if you stay in the Tabacchiera. Great kitchen, dishware, stove, fridge, all you need, and a strong shower. Exceeded our expectations. Thank you Giacomo, Rosella, and son, for showing us a little of La Dolce Vita! Molto Gracie. From our family to yours, we wish you many blessings!

The owners made us feel like a part of the family and welcomed us with open arms.

We were unaware that the food (breakfast and dinner) would cost extra. But, were not surprised that it did because otherwise the trip would have been an absolute steal and not fair.

The dinners served by the family and family friends are amazing! Classic rural Italian. Definitely have dinner there and then also ask them about other trips like wine tastings, bike tours, horseback riding, etc. They are very well connected and can get you good deals and get you to places that are special

“Beautiful retreat in rural Tuscany”

We loved our 4 days at Pienza 1928 (the Granaio cottage) and wish we could have stayed longer. It was a good central location from which to explore Montalcino, Montepulciano, Pienza, Cortona, etc. Just wish we had left some more time to relax at Pienza 1928 to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of vineyards and olive groves. Giacomo and Rosella were warm and helpful hosts.

Don't miss the opportunity to have dinner at Pienza 1928 if you would like to experience a traditional Tuscan meal. It was truly a memorable event.

Nice localization, beautiful swimming pool and view on the country, good dinner,

Just a detail: no guest book at our arrival in the room, you have to ask it to the boss. 1h30 if you want to go to the sea.

Above Montepulciano, Pienza ....Don't miss montefollonico, it's a small village near Pienza 1928. Even in August, there is nearly no tourist and we experienced here the real italian heart. The botta sienna is a very good restaurant on a small place. I deeply recommend also a 5 km walk starting near this village (starting at il rondia). Another remark: Don't forget to book restaurant every night, there is a lot of people in August and few restaurant !!!

“Spectacular Setting, Accommodating and Amusing Hosts”

Amazing location, on a little hill so less humid and buggy than other places in Tuscany, and breezy at night. Wonderful pool with plenty of chairs and umbrellas. The hosts (Giacomo and Rosella) were very accommodating including preparing two great meals for our large group.

Kitchens stocked a little sparsely; for example a toaster would have been nice.

The directions were tricky.... as you pass through Torrita di Siena you stay on the left of the old town toward Pienza and Montefollonico, then you go another 6km. The little town of Montefollonico was an unexpected treasure -- great cappucino at the little cafe bar at the town's entrance. Good pizzas at Il Botteghino and you can get super large American style pizza as well (but yummier of course). Don't hesitate to request a Tuscan meal prepared by the hosts -- they do a great job although it is on the expensive side. Overall a fabulous property.

The relaxing atmosphere tucked away in the Tuscan hillside is hard to beat, the barbecue Giacomo and Rosella cooked and the local towns which were so picturesque. We didn't need to go far and wide and found more than enough culture and beauty close to this place.

None.

Try the barbecue the family offer, especially if you have something to celebrate as they make a huge effort with flowers, appetizers and a beautiful set up over looking the valley. Take advantage of their local knowledge.

We travelled with 2 boys, who had a lot of fun in the pool. We stayed in the Tabacchiera, which is a single old house and seperated from the big farm building. One can have a quiet holiday up there or mix in with other guests and enjoy the great hospitality of Giacomo and Rosella. Giacomo makes his own olive oil and wine, which one can taste. Never miss the Tuscan dinners cooked by Rosella, using only self grown ingredients and meat from nearby farms. We thoroughly enjoyed staying there and will come back!

We were sorry to see that the farm cats were not sterilised and more lovely little kittens had arrived. The cats should be sterilised, or taken indoors. They were also very hungry, so we bought food at the supermarket to feed them.

There is no wardrobe in Genaio, just a coat stand. A robe would have been nice to have. Do visit Cortona when you stay here!

“Exploiting the treasures of Toscany”

Due to family circumstances we were very late with booking a vacation for the summer of 2009 but we had said that we wanted to visit Toscany with an emphasis on cultural and historical sites. The late submission lead us to the aforementioned address due to its flexible availability for our odd requirement. The offered stand-alone appartment turned out to be a very good choice with more than convenient services, especially the pool and the hospitality of the owners. Services and structures are good and owner supported all our additional requirements on the spot. We were and are very happy with the vacation address and are recommending the place to friends and others. Location of the selected address turned out to be beneficial for us due to its central location within Toscany. From this location we could easily and quickly reach our pre-selected tourist locations.

The only minor point would be the shower in the appartment, which is inconveniently combined with the only toilet.

The friendliest comments we would like to make are related to the unlimited hospitality of the owners and the absolute fantastic cooking skills of the lady of the house.
