Walking through that gate you enter a magical place. Dreamy. The welcome we received from the staff was exceptional. At least as helpful and kind as they are. The rooms are spotless large and with everything you need to spend a stay in full comfort and relaxation. The pool area is well maintained as well as all common areas. Mozart's La Taverna restaurant is the icing on the cake. Delicious food and impeccable service. The Val d’Orcia is more beautiful now that we know there is such a place. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

We stayed at this fantastic Resort for a few days. Everything around us seemed made to make us serene and happy. The landscape is postcard; the premises, the room and the restaurant convey peace and tranquility. The staff, everything, is prepared, welcoming and available for any request. You eat and drink very well and at absolutely correct prices. From there you can reach such a quantity of places that you should stay a month. Congratulations to those who have been able to create a working and receptive environment of such value.

This is a truly magical place that is made even more special by the staff and the great countryside location. The accommodation is beautiful, I stayed here for 5 nights with my husband on a two week trip around Italy and this was by far my favourite. Marika, Inder and Marco go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need and helping us with making plans and reservations (greatly appreciated with my patchy Italian!). The room was very rustic but still spotlessly clean, a very minor bit of feedback would maybe be some nicer seating outside room 5 to be able to sit out in the sun with a coffee but we were very happy hanging out around the pool area. We even saw some deer running through the fields while have our breakfast!
Thanks all for a wonderful stay!

In short, it was a perfect Tuscan vacation. My girlfriend and I arrived at this amazing resort surrounded by Tuscany's endless green hills. The host was extremely lovely and welcoming, informing us that we had been upgraded to a suite. The room was clean, spacious, with a vintage village design, and many windows overlooking the beautiful turquoise pool and the nearby hills.
Upon arrival, we booked a table at the restaurant 'Taverna di Mozart,' which is known for its Tuscan products and ingredients. We especially recommend the Pici with duck Ragout, which was rich in flavor and just delicious.
The pool is amazing, and since the resort is small, we were there alone most of the time. Reading a book by the pool with the sun on our faces was pure joy.
Everything about this vacation was perfect – the hospitable and kind hosts, the local and traditional food at the restaurant, the lovely suite, the pool – and the price is extremely fair and worth it. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

It seems to be inside a painting, wonderful location. We stayed in the Inn but the heating did not work and considering the low temperatures (8 degrees) we were forced to sleep with the fire burning which caused smoke at night forcing us to open the windows while we slept, also the wi-fi did not take in the room and neither did the telephone operator. The worst thing was the lack of interest from the staff who did not deign to repay us in any way by making us pay everything down to the last penny. We give two stars just for the wonderful location. We recommend taking better care of the relationship with guests and the substance of the dishes in the Tavern.

Laid back atmosphere. Cosy rooms and attentive staff. We were warmly welcomed by the team on arrival and shown to a lovely stone built room with its own outdoor area overlooking the stunning valley. Throughout our stay everyone was extremely helpful and accommodating; making reservations at restaurants for us and helping us with ideas for things to do in the local area. We had an issue with the air con unit making a lot of noise; someone came to fix it within half an hour of reporting. Very happy with that. Tea and coffee facilities in the room were available once we asked for them. A bit basic, but more than adequate. The buffet breakfasts were amazing; as was the restaurant food in the evenings. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable (especially with recommending wines to pair with food). A highlight was the 5 course, wine pairing evening with two brothers from a local winery. Very enjoyable and romantic with gorgeous food and wine. Definitely recommend.

Staying in this beautiful stone building is like being transported to another world. Nestled in the Tuscan countryside, this charming Inn offers absolute tranquility, away from the hustle and bustle. The staff is attentive, ensuring a careful and attentive service that makes your stay unforgettable. The swimming pool, surrounded by picturesque scenery, is perfect for relaxing under the Tuscan sun. The cuisine is simply exquisite, each dish is prepared with care and refinement, highlighting the local flavors. A haven of peace for lovers of beauty, calm and good food. I highly recommend this property.

Beautiful location fully immersed in Val D'Orcia. Great location of the pool and dining area. Very good breakfast. Unfortunately a very negative part was the air conditioning system which was very noisy and inefficient and certainly did not promote the best rest. I don't know in other rooms. I would recommend installing mosquito nets that would save a lot. I must say that the furniture was really poor despite the stylistic effort. Cabinet unusable due to its precarious condition and presence inside the mini fridge in addition to the lack of a chest of drawers. As well as the pool loungers, however aesthetically appreciable, were now proven for use. Another serious aspect is the lack of the bidet (truly incomprehensible) and the absence of any alternative system but the shower. Friendly and welcoming staff but not fully trained. The feeling is an excess of economy not justified by the prices charged.

I stayed in this hotel after getting married so I could relax a bit. On Instagram it appears like a wonderful place, in fact it is immersed in the true sense of the word in the hills of the magnificent Val D'Orcia. The service is unfortunately of a medium low level, there was a very unpleasant smell in our room and they were unable to find a solution. There is no reference figure to whom you can turn for any problems. On a structural level, however, the idea of placing the swimming pool in front of the restaurant, which is also open to the outside public, did not seem very functional to me. Most of the rooms are above the restaurant, in the evening and in the morning the noise and people's voices disturb.
Having said that, it remains a very nice and pleasant place, it would be enough to solve these small problems.
Thank you Christina
