“Family R. "a perfect place to relax"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 20, 2013

We discovered Fattoria Armena in 2004 and we have been drawn back, occasionally as a couple but mostly as a family group, almost every year since. Fattoria Armena works for us as the perfect place to relax because it offers something for all the members of our family. There are a number of different sized apartments, all tastefully conceived and well equipped providing space, both inside and out, to allow the children to be themselves. There are private areas for family meals with plenty of shade and a tastefully designed pool in a 'holiday brochure' setting complete with stunning views of the Tuscan hills. The children particulary enjoy visiting the animals every day and having opportunities to make friends with other children.
The Saraceni family, Alessandro, Stefania, Jacopo and Giulio are the most considerate hosts, never intrusive but always warm and friendly and ever helpful and supportive should the need arise.

“Home away from home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 18, 2012

My family has travelled to Italy many times. When we are in Tuscany, the only place we stay is Fattoria Armena. Stefania and Alessandro are great hosts. They make you feel like part of the family and are always helpful. We love staying there. This year we took our four year old daughter for her first trip. She did not want to leave. She asks if we can live there now! If you want to truely experience Italy and not just see tourist sites, do yourself a favor and stay at Fattoria Armena.

“Truly magical!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 6, 2012

My husband and I got married at the magical Fattoria Armena, surrounded by the beautiful landscape, the farm, the gorgeous 15th century architecture and most importantly, the warmth and hospitality of Stefania and Allessandro, our gracious hosts that made every minute of our stay special (including the most delicious food we had during our whole trip in Italia!) Buonconvento truly embodies the beauty of Tuscany and Fattoria Armena is the best possible place to stay, whether it is an intimate wedding, a special occasion or whether you just want a get-away. You are welcomed by the olive groves, vineyards, horses, goats and the overall authenticity of the hosts who truly love what they do! We definitely hope to return on a regular basis, and make it for one of our upcoming anniversary celebrations!

“Perfect balance”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 23, 2012

Our second visit to Fattoria Armena was as wonderful – if not more so – than the first. This well re-stored Tuscan farm comes complete with olive groves, vineyards, fruit trees, typical farm animals and show horses. The three comfortable, charming units were perfect for our vacation party, which included adults and families with children. Hosts Stefania, Allesandro and family (and Mirando!) are warm and accommodating – and meals prepared by the family are a delicious experience not to be missed; it’s an added treat to savor products, including wine and olive oil, which they produce. The views are enchanting, particularly the countryside as enjoyed from the pool. The location is very convenient for day trips to Sienna, Montalcino, Pienza, Montepulciano and other Tuscan hill towns. A visit to Fattoria Armena provided a great balance of relaxation and the Tuscan tourism experience.
