“grazie mille- thank you so much for a lovely stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2010

we stayed at the Arca for 2 nights. our room was lovely, very clean and warm. Breakfast overflowed with choices of cheeses, meats, yogurt, pastries, jams,cereals and beverages. We arrived very late the first night and our hostess's parents were there to greet us and show us our room. Although they spoke no English, we had absolutely no problem getting settled in our very comfortable room. No problems parking our car on the street and we were just a few steps from the town ( literally). Pienza was centrally located to the hill towns in Tuscany and we traveled the roads easily. The whole staff at the Arca were friendly and helpful. Gloria helped us with maps and directions and umbrellas for the rain. We would absolutely recommend this hotel/B & B.

“Pretty Pienza!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 October 2010

We thoroughly enjoyed Pienza. It is a neat little place and the Arca di Pienza is in a very convenient location for visiting Pienza and a good place to stay. The Owner,Gloria and her Parents are very gracious and welcoming but the best thing about the place is John, the very kind young Man who takes care of everyone at breakfast as well as cleaning your room to perfection. He works very hard and wants to be sure that you are well taken care of. Gloria is extremely fortunate to have John as an Employee. I hope one day that John has his own place. I think he would be great at running a B&B or Hotel. His English is great which makes it very easy for English speaking Tourists who have a question or a comment.

“Wonderful experience ...gracious hostess.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 July 2010

We spent three nights at the Arca in May. We had one room and our friends/family had two others. the location was perfect and we spent time in town and visiting other nearby hill top towns. the rooms were quite comfortable and we really enjoyed the owner and staff. We bought cheese and wine at a local winery and shared them with the owner at night in the main lounge. the breakfasts were a great start to our day and we especially liked having capuccino;s.

“Pienza and B&B are A+”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2010

Pienza is our favorite location in Tuscany and we twice have used it as our base for travels. Gloria & her folks are wonderful hosts. Gloria is dedicated to making your visit to Pienza memorable. We did ballooning from this B&B. http://www.ballooningintuscany.com/ A+++
We ate at Latte Di Luna. Gloria secured reservations when we booked the B&B; turned out to be a smart move! Great dining!! Can not say enough about Pienza. A small hill town and not crazy with tourists & bus groups!!!
