It's an oasis of calm, much welcome after touring busy hill towns and driving winding roads. The apartment Basilico was charming, clean, spacious for 2. We cooked dinner in our apartment twice and appreciated that all the basics were there. This apartment has a private terrace with furniture, which was a comfortable place to relax or eat dinner. Pool area clean, beautiful greenery all around. Host Sandra was exceptional: inviting personality, knowledge of area and recommendations, and the most amazing home made breakfasts.

We wished there had been a good restaurant within walking distance. Otherwise this was a perfect stay.

Sandra is a gem. She waits for you to arrive and gives you the key and shows you a couple of things. Her breakfast is such a treat and the place is immaculate and tastefully decorated. We stayed for 2 nights during March and although the nights were cold (after coming from Florence), the heat worked well. We brought our college aged daughter who had a semester in Florence into the country for a couple of days and the 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment was perfect. Due to the weather we could not enjoy the outside apartment patio in the evening. Also note that during off season during the weekday, a lot restaurants are closed. We ate the second night at La Grotta, which was amazing.

The floors in the apartment are a little chilly for barefeet, so just bring flip flops or extra pair of heavy socks.

We enjoyed our stay in this wonderful property. Sandra is an excellent host, always ready to help, book restaurants and wine tours etc. The breakfast was delicious. A variety of different baking every morning. When we came back each day, we would find some cake in our room that Sandra had baked. It was always so good. It was a benefit having a lovely swimming pool at the property. The apartment was very clean and well decorated and had all the facilities we required.

When booking our stay, we could only get the 2 bedroom apartment which we didn’t need just for us two. It was very tastefully decorated with nice touches throughout, modern facilities but in traditional Italian decor. However we decided to sleep in the second bedroom upstairs rather than the main with the en-suite as there was not enough natural light in the main room and the window in the bathroom was covered which made the whole area very dark.

Sandra We greatly enjoyed our stay at Our hostess was extra accommodating when we arrived after hours due to an extensive traffic jam. Our room was clean and very charming with details making it feel like old world Italy. The hostess was a delight and prepared the most amazing and abundant breakfasts including homemade pastries and savories. She also placed goodies and water in our room for an evening snack. The property was quiet and had beautiful landscaping with gardens, olive trees and a large vineyard and ample parking for our rental car. Definitely recommend!

L'Orto di Panza is a little gem. The rooms are spotless and everything works. The breakfast is delicious and the little patio where one eats is charming. We spent the day by the pool and found it restful and relaxing. Our room had a hammock and outdoor seating area. They welcomed our pug without issues. Montepulciano is an easy 10 min drive and we also took in a concert and a garden tour at La Foce. The views from our room were just stunning of vineyards and countryside.

This is just personal taste, so it is not a negative but I don't have any other negatives! -- in the bedroom we could have used a luggage stand instead of the chairs at the foot of the bed. I really have nothing to report not liking.

The villa was beautiful and had everything you needed. The bedrooms had little balconies which you could enjoy an evening with a glass of wine looking out at the view of Montepulciano. The breakfast was amazing too, and the hosts were very welcoming and kind.

We found it difficult to get around without a car as the busses were quite infrequent and we were a little way out of any of the main towns/cities. But the hosts were very kind and dropped us off at the station on our last day.

Sandra’s hospitality, the homely feel of the accommodation, cleanliness, daily cleaning, hearty breakfast served in a beautiful setting- breakfast with a view, swimming pool and the area, airconditioning, bbq with sunset view, attention to detail, car parking facility, Sandra’s response to all queries. Sandra even bought a pack of ice for us late in the evening

Sandra was an excellent host! The property is beautiful & our room very spacious & comfortable. The breakfast each morning was amazing & delicious! Variety & many choices for all palates. We stayed for six nights and it is a perfect location to explore Tuscany. We even used the pool to relax one afternoon. Highly recommend this gem of a B&B!!

The stay was beautiful. Exceeded pur expectations. There were good eateries nearby and Montepulciano and Pienza were both just 15 mins away. The rooms were large and beautifully themed and thoughtfully designed. Sandra was very helpful and very generous towards us.

the location incredible for exploring the area, the room was so clean everyday with treats of fresh cake left daily, we had the pool to ourself most of the time, to sit in the evening on the bench by pool and see montipulciano lit up in the distance was wonderful, was given such amazing recommendations by Sandra on places to visit and found the most incredible little towns and villages to explore, scenery just incredible would defiantly recommend this place. only 1 pub nearby to park at at but food was really very good
