I can't say enough about our stay at La Bandita this past week. It is set in the most gorgeous Val d'Orcia and has spectacular views of the country. The house - rooms and common areas - was as we hoped it would be, modern, chic and cozy! Amazing staff and owner with great recommendations for area activities and restaurants.... More

Blown away is right! I stumbled upon La Bandita through Black Tomato and I couldn't have asked for more. This little gem is exactly as advertised (check out their website) and more. The owner is so helpful and informative while helping you plan your stay, the house staff are absolutely wonderful, the rooms are cozy/modern/rustic/well-appointed all at once, and the... More

Blown away by La Bandita. The hotel is beautiful and the food alone is well worth the stay. The owner provides you with an amazing packet of information that you should follow when planning your visit. The suggestions for food and wineries will not let you down - stick to that list! The on location chef will blow you away... More

I attended a beautiful "destination wedding" celebration at La Bandita. The wedding party took over La Bandita and the guests (about 90) stayed elsewhere, many of us in Pienza, about 20 minutes away. The ceremony was in the afternoon at La Foce, an estate with formal gardens. The cocktails, dinner and dancing were at La Bandita with small tents set... More

Wanting the true "Tuscan" experience, with rolling hills, yellows and browns, and sheep (!), we discovered the region of Val D'Orcia not too far away and found La Bandita through terrific user reviews. What a stroke of luck! The staff - from John (the... More

We had a great 4 days at La Bandita in September....it's a very special place. The staff were both helpful & enthusiastic, nothing seemed too much trouble. Our room was fresh and bright, furnished simply with great views. The evening meals were lovely (pizza night was never ending!) Each evening was very different from the previous. The wine tasting with... More

The staff was AMAZING and took GREAT care of us. The food prepared by their chef was incredible. I cannot wait to... More

A truly wonderful experience staying at La Bandita. A fabulous team running the house making everyone incredibly welcome with great recommendations on local food places and things to do. The whole team could not have been more helpful. The house is beautiful as is the location and there is so much to do in the area. The dinner parties are... More

We stayed here as part of our honeymoon trip to Italy. There is no doubt but La Bandita has allot going for it; beautiful views, relaxing setting, friendly staff however it did not quiet live up to expectations. We stayed in one of the 'deluxe' rooms- it was an OK size, nicely decorated and the bathroom was nice but nothing... More
