We loved it, stayed in a beautiful house with a great kitchen and good coffee available all the time, we loved the lady taking care of us, we were disappointed because the breakfast we were paying for was not breakfast (cookies, coffee and tea) but we would go back with pleasure, knowing all the above!

arrived there by mistake and felt like we were the luckiest couple in the whole universe

Just a lovely little place, tucked away behind an old stone wall. Swing open one of two large green doors and you're in a pretty little garden facing some of the most charming lodging in the area. My husband and I enjoyed a ground-floor camere for one week, which had its own little kitchen. We took advantage of the Friday... More

We spent an autumn week at this self-catering flat in Pienza with another couple and truly enjoyed the stay! In fact, I would say that any of the negative reviews might have arisen from misunderstanding, e.g., self-catering (at least in the many places in which we have stayed) means just that, i.e., you provide your own meals.

We just returned from spending a little over a week at II Giardino Segreto in Pienza which we used as a base for traveling around the area. My wife and I had a room on the second floor which was clean and airy and consisted of a small sitting room, a good sized bedroom and a nice bathroom which included... More

Pienza is quite small, so our room was a short walk from the bus stop and everything we wanted to see in town. The decor was charming and everything was perfectly clean.... More

The room was nice, clean, very roomy with a second sitting area and the bathroom was quite large for Europe. The included breakfast was a little skimpy, but a short walk away were several places to get croissants and... More

I just came back from two delightful weeks at Il Giardino Secreto. It was exactly what we were looking for: a home base to explore Val d’Orcia and it fit perfectly. From the beginning we knew that it was not a hotel, but an apartment building, and therefore no concierge at all. However, Rossella was there every morning and afternoon... More

Pienza was a wonderful town to stay in! You probably could find lodging with the same amount of charm as Il Giardino and with much better service. The owner was difficult to contact and not very friendly or helpful when we checked in; our interactions were moderately more positive with her over the next couple days. But as other reviewers...
