From the minute we walked in, we felt so welcome! Lovely friendly reception staff. Our room was amazing, the bed was super comfortable and plenty of space around to store luggage, clothes etc. Bathroom was huge with plenty of soft, fluffy towels and everything worked well. There is a fridge but no kettle in the room, but the staff were more than happy to give us hot water if we wanted to make our own tea or coffee. Breakfast was included and had a good selection of pastries, eggs, bread, fruit, yoghurt as well as tea and coffee.
Location was good, we found it was an easy walk up through the bush track into the old town and we even hiked down to the famous Gladiator shooting spot (not an easy hike though so be prepared). Parking available near reception.
The gardens and pool area are beautiful and well maintained with plenty of chairs to relax on.
Thank you so much for making our stay such an enjoyable one, we loved Pienza and A440

Pienza is a beautiful village, the Val d'Orcia is breathtaking. We were welcomed by Paola, who is a magnificent ambassador for the property, she really made us feel incredibly welcome. The restaurant was also excellent, we had a fantastic dinner. We came off season, (March) which added to the tranquility. I think you would come here to enjoy a quiet, peaceful retreat, and it is a nice base to explore the Tuscan wine region.

Wonderful little town, not so crowded but much nicer than other hyped destinations like Siena or San Gimignano. Lot's of plants on the street,, endless restaurants, that's exactly what we like. Also e-Bike Tuscany by Steffi is recommended to try. Scenery is unbelievely amazing.

Pienza is small but has an excellent selection for dining.
Pienza is small but has an excellent selection for dining. Sight seeing in town is somewhat limited but affords terrific views over Val d'Orcia. If you like Pecorino cheese, you have to visit the shops in Pienza. Quick bite, try Pizzeria Pummaro near gate into old center. For charm and quality meal try Pane Vino & Zucchero. For all round the Trattoria la Buca Delle Fate is good. For a good hike outside of town, don't stop at the spot where they shot the Gladiator scene, keep going.

Pienza has one main street which means it can feel crowded when a relatively small number of people visit. There is limited free parking which is also used by residents.
There are a variety of small shops which mostly sell typical regional products. There is an abundance of Pecorino and hams. It is possible to buy a range of different quality of jewelry. There are also a few clothes shops.
There is a beautiful panoramic walk on the entrance from the North.
The town is blessed with a variety of restaurants and bars which are mostly tradition Tuscan food. There are also at least two ice cream shops.
The market takes place on Friday. In October there are a number of events such as the chocolate festival which means it gets very crowded on the weekend. There are limited public services such as clean bathrooms.
I limited the amount of time that I visited the town during my week long stay mainly due to access to parking. You have to pay 24/7 which is a problem for evening meal when travelling alone in the dark at a parking meter.

We utilised Pienza as a base from which to explore various towns within the Val D'Orcia, a world heritage area. We could have stayed longer to visit more towns and explore mountain biking trails. Pienza in itself is clean, beautifully restored, has chic dining spots and it was a privilege to have visited.

Pienza is now one of our favourite destinations in Tuscany.
Pienza is now one of our favourite destinations in Tuscany. We have visited San Gimignano, Siena, Monteriggioni. Montepulcino whilst travelling by car and have found Pienza to be so pretty and enjoyable to be in. Parking was easy to navigate and the laneways of Pienza were quiet and so charming. The walkway/lookout side of the town provided vistas that you would hope for. Pienza is also quite close to those classic Tuscan scenes/photos that you may have seen previously.
Everything.
OgniVolta is a beautifully apartment - made even more so by the care and consideration of Sandra, the host/owner. The location is in the village, but still very accessible by car, with a large paid municipal parking lot close by. The apartment is clean, spacious and modern with all the facilities for a long stay - full kitchen, starter fruits, pastries and juices. Pienza (and Orvieto) were highlights of our 3 weeks in Slovenia and Tuscany. Cannot recommend more highly.
Absolutely great place! The best stay in our 2 week journey across Italy. Everything was just perfect! Dinner in the garden overlooking sunset was unforgettable. Views are fantastic! May be just one thing - breacfast basket contained only some "plastic" food, nothing local, in my opinion it is better not to serve it at all, because everyone travelling in Tuscany have bags full of fresh Tuscany food right from market, so it was a bit unnecessary.
Alice and Simon were so helpful with everything. Although the apartment is on three floors, we didn't have trouble navigating the stairs and Simon helped us with the luggage. The property is right in the heart of Pienza and it's a delightful village. You can see the church tower from the bedroom window. (The bells do toll several times a day but I loved it.)
We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay while visiting Tuscany.
A wonderful place to stay in beautiful Tuscany. All the beauties are within walking distance. Shop, café, laundry service are also close by. The hostess is very welcoming, although we didn't see her. Helped us to get from another town as we didn't catch the last bus.
The hotel is in the centre of the town. The room is clean and there is a coffee machine. We were very happy with it. I hope to return to wonderful Tuscany one day!
The location could not be beat. It was the most breathtaking location for a hotel I’ve ever ever been at. We felt like we were in a castle surrounded by velvet green hills made of vineyards and olive groves. I love photography and this was just a dream come true. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind. Breakfast was delicious. They even gave us fresh flowers to celebrate our anniversary.
This charming hotel is in a former cloister. The setting is absolutely stunning - we ate an excellent dinner on the terrace and watched a glorious slow sunset. Breakfast in the morning was very good with a good selection. The room was much larger and more comfortable than I expected and the bathroom was nicely modern. The staff were friendly and helpful.
We finished our honeymoon in this charming place! The Inn is cozy clean and so beautifully decorated, and the staff is amazing!! We enjoyed all the food and wine and the property itself (the pool is great) It’s so close to Pienza which is a cute little town and the rest of the main sites to visit in Tuscany. We’d love to come back soon! Thanks Giuseppe!

Andrea was an amazing, responsive and personable host who took the time upon check–in to give us loads of advice about things to see in the local area. His lovely, recently renovated apartment is in a super location in Pienza and is well–equipped, cosy and delightful. We loved our stay here and the time we spent in this beautiful part of Tuscany.
what a place! we had incredible two nights here. Beautiful panoramic views over the val d'orcia facing the sunset. The whole team was very welcoming and kind but the real discovery was the dinner in the restaurant - it was incredible! one of the best food experience we had during our 2 weeks trip in Italy. we would definitely come back again
Stunning views in a remote area of Pienza. Washer onsite. There wasn’t really a place clothes to hang clothes to dry, but we made it work. We visited in November, so the pool was closed (expected). It looked like a great little pool though. Easy parking for rental car. Amazing location for a local farm/cooking class 2km away!
Staying in this family run b&b was the highlight of our trip to Italy. The hospitality was beyond amazing. The host did everything to make us feel at home. The grounds and property were beautiful and our room was very comfortable. The breakfast spread each morning was so delicious and of the highest quality! Bravo!
The setting of this farmhouse looks like a movie, it is absolutely breathtaking! The room was just as you would envision a Tuscan farmhouse. We had amazing breakfast served every morning and we were treated like family during our stay. Definitely the highlight of our Italy trip.
We loved everything about this place. The location is in the middle of nature, tipical Tuscany farm, but easy to get to surrounding cities like Pienza, Montalcino, Montepulciano.
The host is lovely and very helpful. We had an amazing breakfast with local products.
Beautiful castle in the Val d’orcia. Good base camp to visit Pienza, Bagno Vignoni, and San Quirico d’Orcia. Room was spotless, staff was great, breakfast very well done, nice sunset view garden in the back. Great authentic pasta restaurant next door.
Beautiful spot in Tuscany. Because this family also has a farm in Pienza you can park there for free and walk around gorgeous Pienza. An added bonus. Loved the Family Dinner on Thursday. True Farm to Table.
Very comfortable, quiet modern hotel. Parking on-site and easy. A short flat walk into the old part of Pienza. The breakfast buffet was good. Pienza is a cute, small old town and the walking is flat.
