Our Quiet Tuscan Getaway
Castiglione d'Orcia was lovely. Right in the town square you become immersed with those who live there. The little grocery store which has it all is right next door and you can grab a cornetto and caffe at any time.. We were lucky enough to see a concert from our balcony. Our host was wonderful and so helpful!

On the town square in Castiglione d'Orcia
This two story home is directly in the middle of this medieval town. The seating for the locals bar is in the square in front of the door, the small but outstanding grocery store is literally next door. The citizenry do spend the evenings at the bar until 10 pm, but closing the windows captures the noise. This home has a fully equipped kitchen but no oven. The main bathroom is huge by Italy standards and the bedrooms are comfortable. And there is a terrace overlooking the square where you can sit and eat or drink or hang out your laundry like you live here. We have been coming to Val d' Orcia for 20 years and this is where we will stay when we come again. The only drawback is it is up a winding road that we do not recommend after a dinner out with a bottle of wine. The road requires 100 percent attention.

Excellent place to stay
We loved being in the heart of Val D’Orcia with easy access (via car) to all the surrounding towns. There is a grocery store right next door to the property and several places to eat and have coffee or wine! The Enoteca right across the piazza is excellent. The service and responsiveness by the owner and caretaker was fantastic. AND when you are bone tired at the end of the day, you can look forward to a shower with hot water and great water pressure!! Thank you Fulvio and Laura for your hospitality!!

3 weeks in Tuscany
The house was delightful. Its location is one of the best features, in the main square in a medieval village. Right next door is a market with all the food essentials. A gelato shop opened in mid-June in the village. A minor inconvenience was the electrical adapters. The Italian plugs.take a 3-in-line plug, and we had no adapters for this configuration. There were a few in the house. There are several excellent restaurants in the village. We had another couple join us for a week and there was plenty of room. All in all, it was a great house in a great location. A place from which to take day trips to places in south Tuscany.

THIS HOUSE IS WONDERFUL
If you have always wanted to stay in a typical Tuscan home, this is the one. I have been to Tuscany several times and always stayed in an agriturismo. This home was a very pleasant surprise for my 2 companions and I. The owner is very responsive to all inquiries and very helpful. The house is clean convenient and well equipped. . Parking and shopping for groceries convenient, though the staples are well provided for by the owner. The town is a delight and now one of my favorites in Tuscany.

Tolle Toskana-Tage
Wir hatten einen angenehmen Aufenthalt mitten im Zentrum von Castiglione, umgeben von pittoresken Straßen, manchmal von etwas lauten Barbesuchern und einer ausreichenden Infrastruktur. Inzwischen kann man auch die große Burgruine im Ort besichtigen.

Super
Fantastische Lage direkt an der Piazza neben dem Lebensmittelladen und der Bar , also mittendrin im italienischen dörflichen Leben . Sehenswert ist auch der Teil Roca d´Orcia mit seiner Aussicht und der tollen Atmossphäre des Dorfes . Wir haben von hier aus verschiedene Thermalquellen ( Bagno di Vignoni , Saturnia (!!!), Petrioli )besucht . Für Kunstliebhaber lohnt sich der Ausflug nach Seggiano zur Fondazione di Giardino de Daniel Spoerri .

Wundervoller Aufenthalt
Wir hatten tolle Tage in diesem wunderschönen toskanischem Haus. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt und es war alles vorhanden, was man sich vorstellen kann. Vor allem der Balkon mit dem Blick auf den Brunnen hat uns jeden Abend beeindruckt. Wir wollen uns auch bei Laura bedanken, die uns super empfangen hat und alles gut organisierte und stets als Ansprechpartner vor Ort war. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen und können das Haus mehr als empfehlen, vor allem auch an Familien mit Kindern, da dort sehr viel Platz ist. Vielen Dank nochmals!

zeer aangenaam verblijf in Castiglione d'Orcia
Veertien dagen genoten van het huis, het stadje en van Toscane ! Gelegen aan een heel gezellig pleintje. Heel geschikt voor 4 mensen, voor 5 iets te beperkt, lijkt ons.

Kongelogen i teateret Castiglione d Orcia
En fantastisk lejlighed der overraskede både i beliggenhed og kvalitet og renlighed. Vi boede midt i byen med udsigt til torvet fra vores altan og deltog om aftenen i livet på den lokale bar. Huset havde et lille køkken, men der var mange muligheder for at få noget godt at spise.De øvrige værelser var fine og vel indrettet og to meget flotte toiletter. Alt i alt en meget positiv oplevelse til en rimelig pris. Ros til Fulvio der altid var hurtig til at svare En helt igennem positiv oplevelse i vores elskede Orciadal

Un bel weekend!
Siamo stati per un weekend ospiti nella casa del Sig. Guido. Eravamo 2 coppie di amici. La casa è molto accogliente e grande ed è situata in un grazioso paese, molto tranquillo e ben tenuto. Castiglion d'Orcia è situato alla giusta distanza dai posti che volevamo visitare (le terme di San Filippo e Bagno Vignoni, San Quirico d'Orcia) ed offre al turista vari servizi . Davvero un bel weekend!
