Fattoria Armena

We were blessed to spend a week at the farm in mid September. Stefania, Alessandro and their family are the most gracious and generous hosts you can imagine, making you feel like visiting family instead of a customer. Would highly recommend hiring Giulio and Stefania for a special dinner as they are incredible chefs. If you are active and enjoy walking, I Would also recommend asking about a hike from the farm to Chiusure (“About 5 miles”) on a fairly easy ridge trail with beautiful views of the country side. Beautiful place, people and experiences!

A little corner of Heaven! If you're looking for traditional rustic Tuscan charm coupled with an amazing infinity pool, look no further! Our family (two adults and two children aged 8 and 10) couldn't have enjoyed our two week stay at Fattoria Armena any more than we did. Everything about the accommodation and surrounding area exceeded our expectations. Stefania and Alessandro were the perfect hosts; generous and welcoming, they gave us our privacy and space but were very quick to help if needed. Stefania welcomed us like old friends when we arrived and even presented us with a delicious freshly-baked crostata still warm from the oven! Armenia is situated in a truly beautiful spot tucked away at the end of a 2km gravel trackway up in the hills above Buonconvento. It has heaps of rustic charm and could not be more peaceful, with just the sounds of the horses, cicadas and the bee eaters to keep you company as you relax by the infinity pool, which offers incredible views down the valley opposite the property. Our two-bedroom apartment was very well appointed with a well equipped kitchen which made self-catering very straightforward. The beds were comfy and a good number of fans were provided to help cope with the warmth. Located just 15km from the renowned wine center of Montalcino, Fattoria Armena makes an excellent base for exploring the wider Siena Province; Pienza, Montepulciano and Siena are all within an hour's drive. Fattoria Armena was the perfect place to spend our precious summer holiday - we have missed it dearly every day since we left and we WILL be back. Huge thanks to Stefania and Alessandro!

I've stayed in over 50 Airbnb's and this was one of the best experiences I've ever had. The place is perfect if you're looking for a quiet place overlooking the rolling hills of Tuscany. Dinner as the sun was setting was serene and majestic. The place itself is spacious (can fit 5-6 people), clean, check-in was a breeze, and you have views from almost every window. The location is perfect. Montalcino is about a 15 minute drive, while Montepulciano is about 40 minutes and Pienza is 30. The Comune of Buonconvento is small but has everything you need - restaurants, a supermarket, and a train station. The absolute best part of this stay were the owners: Stefania and her husband Allesandro. They were extremely engaging, full of historical local knowledge, always willing to help with whatever you need, and Stefania is an amazing cook. I highly recommend getting dinner at her place. She'll set you up on the outside table overlooking Tuscany as she serves five amazing courses of homemade Italian food. We washed it down with some of her wine. Stefania provided warm hospitality Italy is known for. She treated me as a friend, wanting to ensure my stay was as good as it could be, not simply a guest renting from her. The place is amazing and there's no doubt I will stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay very much. The pool and the view is incredible. The owners are super-friendly and helpful. Our apartment was spacious and perfect for 6 people. The kitchen is well equipped. Bagno vignioni and Montalcino are close. We will come again.
