Podere Val d'Orcia - Tuscany Equestrian

This spot is absolutely beautiful.. breathtaking views. Highly recommend!!!

We loved our stay here. The owners are awesome, we really enjoyed chatting with all of them. The resort is stunning. Views like a postcard. Originally we were hesitant on booking here because we thought we would want to be near Montepaulciano, but it didn't matter. Anywhere we drove was a beautiful journey. We liked that this resort had activities that we could book, as well as dinners on site. We ended up eating dinner here every night. They have a rotating tasting menu, so there's something different every night. The convenience was terrific. They accommodated any time we wanted to show up and eat. What really made them stand out was how helpful they were in our planning. Leading up to our stay, I had conversations back and forth with Sandy for itinerary advice in the area. We also went to their recommended attractions while we were there. We couldn't get a reservation at the time we wanted at one of the wineries, and Sandy texted her contact there, and got us in! It's really top-tier service at this place. We traveled all over Italy during our trip and this was our favorite part. We hope to be back someday!

The scenery was breathtaking, the suites were stunning and the excursions were top notch. But what made our stay unforgettable was the hospitality - not formal or stuffy but warm and welcoming. Sandy, Phil and Selene and the entire staff made us feel like special guests at their home.

We visited this beautiful, beautiful property about a week ago. It’s quite remote, however 100% worth it. The view of Val D’Orcia is spectacular - we traveled a lot and this is the best in Tuscany! The hotel and property is gorgeous, and the accommodations / rooms are absolutely perfect - up-to-date , warm, cozy with modern technology and a rustic ambience. The horses are beautiful, the food was wonderful. And the hosts were lovely. We would highly recommend but be aware. It’s quite a drive from the local town which has the best pizza :-) it’s a great location to tour Tuscany or to spend a relaxing few days.

From the moment we arrived to when we left we received first class service. It was a pleasure meeting Sandy and Phil. Very nice and friendly, they can’t do enough for you. Wonderful cooking class,great accommodation (very comfortable),helped us plan our day and recommended things for us to do. The food was delicious. You can’t go wrong staying here.
