Great location, quality people

DKB and TAK New York, NY
Review Submitted: August 10, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Paolo and his brother Stefano were gracious hosts, welcoming us with homemade wine and olive oil. Their hospitality was extended throughout the Mt. Amiata region, which is just south of the main tourist thoroughfares and is therefore less trafficked, less crowded, and less expensive.

Castel del Piano makes a wonderful base of exploration, relatively short (though very windy) drives to Montalcino, Pienza, Orvieto, Siena and La Marema on the coast.

Perhaps the best part about the home, however, is the Dorcia Valley itself, a deeply lush reserve where everything from wild fennel to blueberries grows in the open. If you walk down the path to the base of the valley, you'll even find a fresh-water stream that makes for idyllic bathing in the hot summer months. We joked about having our Adam and Eve moment, frolicking in the gentle currents amid a steep marble ravine.

We loved the home's wood-fired oven, and the big windows that swung out from the stone walls, letting in the sunlight and fresh Tuscan air. At night we could hear the clatter of goats and the occasional trundling cow.

This rural home is perfect for urban dwellers sick of traffic, noise and people. Just take a glass of Stefano's wine, climb up on the deck overlooking the valley, and enjoy. It's the Tuscan vacation we dreamed about and were lucky enough to experience.

Review Submitted: July 29, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We were absolutely delighted with our choice of accommodation. The views from each window were magnificant, especially those overlooking the stunning hill top village of Montegiovi. We really enjoyed our evening drinks outside on the raised terrace over looking the panoramo of olive groves and vineyards. We stayed for 10 night and the sunsets were equivally spectacular each evening.
The accommodation itself was very comfortable, clean and well equipped. The property had been lovingly restored and was decorated with local nic-nacs. The owners were extremely helpful and friendly, as were the local neighbours.
The trip would not have been complete without a short hike to the river gorge below in the valley and the wonderful traditional Tuscan food and wine in Castel Del Piano and the local Pizzeria on the road to Seggiano. The menus and prices varied but the quality of food was always very good and the service always relaxed and friendly.
We very quickly relaxed into the Tuscan way of life and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our stay. We will definately be coming back.
For those who are looking for accommodation with a pool then please note that Castel Del Piano has a super outdoor swimming pool complex. It costs 30 euros for a family of four, is good fun and is suitable for families with children of all ages.
We visited at the end of July and the weather was glorious. The evenings warm enough to eat outside.
The whole family was definately smitten with the location and as we said before, we will definately be back.

Steve & Luisa Beverley, East Yorks, UK
Review Submitted: June 22, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
We have stayed here twice and are about to stay for a third time next week. The property is very well stocked and furnished and the welcome we have received has been lovely. Best of all are the views and stunning sunsets. We love walking so being able to put your boots on and have an endless choice of walks on your doorstep is wonderful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to anyone.
Shopping for day to day items is great in Castel del Piano. Also within striking distance of many tourist spots e.g Sienna, Florence, the coast, Monte Amiata, Montalcino, Pienza etc (the list is endless)
We haven't had a bad meal yet in any of the local restaurants; our particular favourite is the restaurant at the back of Bar 60 in Seggiano.
