My husband and I have stayed at the l'Olmo about eight times over the last 10 years or so and is our all time favorite Italian Hotel.
The owners are charming, friendly and welcoming, the rooms are all immaculately presented with a touch of luxury. The views are spectacular and the location could not be improved, with Pienza, Montelpuciano, Bagno Vignoni and Quercia D'orcia being just some of the wonderful tuscany towns on your doorstep.
With all the rooms being appointed to a very high standard, this is no ordinary Bed and Breakfast , its a small luxury family run hotel.
Breakfasts are excellent, start the day with one of their cappuccinos, home made cakes and delicious pastries and if you book one of their special garden suites, the experience of taking breakfast on your own private terrace can not be beaten. A table is laid out with frette linen, beautiful white china and silver cutlery. The views of the countryside lit up by the morning sun are breathtaking and enjoyed so much more on the privacy of your own terrace. Lunch is served under their shaded gazebo overlooking the beautiful swimming pool and excellent light meals are available throughout the day until 10.00pm.
There are many restaurants in the area, but our all time favorite has to be La Grotta on the outskirts of Montelpuciano overlooking the wonderful San Bagio Church.
If you are looking for an excellent small luxury hotel in the heart of the Val D'orcia valley, full of romance and scenic beauty, this the hotel for you.

After staying here on 3 different occasions, I can say that it doesn't get any better. L'Olmo is as perfect a Tuscan inn as can be found and the experience is as close as a visitor can come to living in Tuscany. Set amid flowers in the fields and rolling hills of southern Tuscany you can visit the most authentic and beautiful hilltowns, Pienza, Montepulciano, Monticchiello, Montalcino, and still return every night to a good bed, a swim in the pool and genuine hospitality. At night, only the crickets chirping to lull you to sleep. Absolute heaven!

We spent 5 days at this wonderful place last spring and we are returning for a week in September. We have been to Italy 6 times in the last 10 years and L'Olmo stands out as our favorite place for all of the 200 plus nights we have been in Italy.
The rural setting amid the fields of grain with Pienza on a hilltop off in the distance is breathtaking. The rooms(small suites) are comfortable and cozy with large, well equipt bathrooms. The warm and inviting rooms of the villa are exactly what I idealized while trying to picture my perfect Italian retreat. Friendly and accomodating staff, great breakfasts comfortable beds, centrally located for many day trips-do yourselve a favor and stay here!
