I spent hours looking for an authentic, peaceful place to stay that was also clean and beautiful. Pianciano did not disappoint at all. We knew we were off to a good start when we had to open the gate to get to the property. It just sets the tone for the privacy and beauty of Pianciano. Our cottage was fantastic... More

This was our second trip to Pianciano, which included our grown children. They loved it!! The villas are lovely, and the location is beautifully situated on a secluded hillside surrounded by olive trees and is also easily assess-able for touring nearby hill towns. The villas are beautifully decorated and fully appointed with wifi, tv and modern facilities, all in a... More

We have travelled Italy the last 20+ years and last year we stayed at Pianciano in July 2010. For the first time ever we went back to a place. It didn't disappoint us. Everything was as great as the previous year (please read our review from July 2010), maybe even better as the owners had improved the WiFi (it is... More

just back from lovely-lovely week, with my parents (75/80), husband (50) and two -- VERY active -- boys (9 and 11) and it was just wonderful for all of us, each finding the place itself beautiful beyond description -- let alone expectation -- and totally satisfying in terms of activities/relaxation. The hosts, too, were beyond kind and generous, showing us... More

The last 20 years we have been travelling in Italia and visited lots of places. Pianciano is the best place we've stayed in so far. Everything is great: The houses, the position, the pool, the surroundings, the view, the breeze, the domestic animals and the people. Normally we always go to a new place in Italy every year. But for... More
