About The Experience
If you and your family have ideas of strolling through the Tuscan countryside, visiting hilltop towns by day, and maybe relaxing by the pool by night, this villa rental is for you. A short walk from the medieval village of Monticchielli but still secluded enough to allow privacy, this self-catering accommodation in Tuscany is surrounded by magnificent views. Day trips away from this villa in Tuscany can include Cortona and Siena!
Location Description
The farmhouse is located 700 meters from the nearest village of Monticchiello, which is home to a couple of restaurants, food shops, and bakery. If you're looking for a town that has restaurants, markets, shops, banks, a pharmacy, post office, and gas station, visit Pienza which is located five kilometers from the property. The history of Pienza (or Citta di Pio) is closely linked to Pope Pius II, known as the great humanist. In 1458 he transformed this ancient town, his birthplace, into a perfect example of architectural and urban design. Judging by the attention this gorgeous town still gets today, his ambitious project was a success, attracting visitors from all over the world. The main attractions include the Palazzo Piccolomini and the Duomo. Great day trips through the region are to the hilltop town of Cortona or the culturally rich city of Siena.
Siena: 55 km
Cortona: 35 km
Pienza: 5 km
Monticchiello: 700 meters

    Customer Reviews

    Overall:
    Excellent experience.
    Enjoyed Most:
    The view and the friendliness of the hosts. Also, the fact that it was in a central location and convenient to nearby destinations.
    Unpleasant Surprises:
    The hot water in the shower had a tendency to get cold and then get hot.
    Surrounding Area:
    The beautiful scenery, the food, and the friendliness of the people.
    Nearby Events or Locales:
    Monticchiello was the nearest town and was quite a walk. We did not walk, but drove.
    Tips or Restaurants:
    Definitely La Porta in Monticchiello. Excellent food, great service, and a good wine selection. We recommend making reservations.
    Directions:
    The town of Monticchiello was not on our GPS. We had to have the owner come and get us in Pienza and lead us to the property.

    Richard, October, 2011

    Overall:
    Wonderful. The couple were very friendly and helpful and the views were unbelievably lovely. You could see several hilltop villages from outside the front door of the property.
    Enjoyed Most:
    Its location and beauty.
    Unpleasant Surprises:
    Difficult to say as it was so lovely. Maybe the nearness of the small gravel road with occasional farm vehicles.
    Surrounding Area:
    Easy to reach the local village and nearby towns. The sunsets!
    Nearby Events or Locales:
    Montechiello. You could walk there in 20 minutes, but it is uphill on the way back, so didn't try it.
