About this property
Independent house in the historic center
Detached house 105 sqm, townhouse,, ground floor: living room, kitchen, bathroom; floor 1: 2 bedrooms, 1 wardrobe, 1 bathroom and hallway. House part of the old city walls, beamed ceilings. Fully autonomous house with independent heating, double exposure and a splendid view over the roofs of the village of Castiglione d'Orcia, Pienza and the hills of the Val D'Orcia. 600 metres above sea level enjoys milder temperatures and cool winds in the evening. Quiet Unesco heritage village, with about 850 inhabitants; it has two bars, a museum, a playground, a Punto Sma minimarket, a grocery / bakery with typical and organic products, a Coop supermarket, a Pharmacy, two Banks, the Post Office and some useful shops. Also in the village there are a Vineria / starter (il RitroVino), a restaurant (il Cassero) and a restaurant / pizzeria (Le due Rocche). All services are easily reachable on foot in a few minutes. The house is located 20 metres from the high street of the village in a Limited Traffic Zone, so even in a low traffic density area, the house is far from normal traffic roads.
Located in Castiglione d'Orcia, this holiday home is in the city centre. Fortress of Tentennano and Piazza delle Sorgenti are local landmarks, and the area's natural beauty can be seen at Historic Centre of Pienza and Garden of Daniel Spoerri.

This apartment is in a lovely medieval town. The apartment itself was very nice and well-equipped. There was plenty of room for the three of us. It can be a bit difficult to locate but Sergio and Mimosa were very helpful. Parking is offsite and a bit of a walk but you can unload your luggage nearer to the house. Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful time - beautiful home in a sweet small village.

Liked: Communication, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in
We stayed for 7 days. First of all be aware that despite what the listing says, there is NO ON SITE PARKING. You have to find a public parking spot in the town. There are a couple of spots with 5-10 minutes walking distance from the house.
The house is quaint, but beware it’s very rustic. There is no AC, WiFi is very spotty, especially on the main floor. Barrooms are small and essential, with hot water coming and going when showering.
Maintenance could be better. Window screens are mostly ripped or missing for example.
Checking in experience was very poor. Mostly because of the lack of parking. It was difficult to communicate with the person in charge of it and find a spot that was not too far. Then carry the luggage through the town to the house. Once got in, first impressions were quite negative. It was extremely hot. It was clear the place had been locked and unused for a while and no effort was made to prepare it for new guests. The couch and chairs on the main floor were covered with a dusty cover. It was clear the place was left untouched for a while and not really prepared for new guests. The garbage was half full already maybe from previous guests.
When faucet in the bathroom was open, brown water came out and had to let it run for few minutes before taking a shower.
Once we got passed all that, we managed to still enjoy our stay. Hopefully the host takes this feedback and puts more effort in preparing the place and the check-in process.

Charming home
Overall was a very nice space; it was clean; kitchen and bathroom updated and well-appointed. Check-in was seamless (except for some difficulties finding the address). Sergio was prompt and responsive to questions/needs. The town was charming; hilltop location afforded fantastic views!
Some drawbacks: spotty WiFi, parking was a hike from the home. Overall, however, it was a pleasant stay.
Sehr schöne Unterkunft im Herzen der Altstadt von Castiglione
Das hochwertig renovierte Haus bietet eine einladende Atmosphäre, angenehm große Schlafzimmer, und eine sehr gute Ausstattung (Spül- und Waschmaschine, viel Geschirr und Küchengerätschaften, Fliegengitter, kleine Bibliothek, Kinderspielzeug). Der kleine Platz vor dem Haus bietet die Möglichkeit, im Freien zu sitzen. Als Gruppe von vier Erwachsenen hatten wir ausreichend Platz und genossen einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt. Wegen der ortstypisch schlechten Internetvrbindung empfiehlt sich ausreichend Datenvolumen auf dem Telefon ;-)

Casa fantastica, comoda ed accogliente, con una vista spettacolare sulla Val D'Orcia
In una valle così eccezionale come la Val D'Orcia, non si poteva trovare soggiorno migliore! Ottima posizione, sistemazione ancor più bella, dotata di ogni comodità e arredata con buon gusto. Altrettanto ottima comunicazioni con i proprietari, che si sono mostrati gentilissimi e disponibili. Ci siamo trovati benissimo, proprio come a casa.
