Traditional Tuscan farmhouse with breathtaking views 19 Minutes from Montalcino

Wonderful place. Rustic, country farmhouse with beautiful views of the countryside and sunsets. Angela and Alessandro were very welcoming and helpful. Great location for day trips but we loved coming back to spend the evenings enjoying the view.

Wonderful apartment with views of the Tuscan hills - such a peaceful setting! Wish we had more time than our 5 days to just relax at the property while exploring the medieval villages close by. Angela and Alessandro were wonderful hosts and waited at the property for us to arrive after dark with flashlights to guide us! A bit tricky to find as it was 1-2 miles up the gravel road past where our GPS ended. Hubby got lost one day and they met him and led him back to the property - sooo kind and helpful!! Angela communicates using WhatsApp. You'll ejoy your stay - we will be back!! ❤️❤️

The views from this VRBO are spectacular… the house is comfortable and clean. Look no further. I highly recommend this place! If I were to create a hilltop villa in Tuscany, this is what I would build. This VRBO is a quiet beautiful comfortable hilltop home. It is so comfortable, quiet, and serene. The drive up to the villa is slightly challenging only because after traveling a few kilometers north of Torrenieri and taking the left turn onto Strada Castelverdelli, the road is gravel, narrow, windy, and at the 1.2 km point, the road seems to end at the castle. It doesn’t though, keep going up the hill to the left of the castle, and after another 1 km, you will see a small hand-painted sign, “Montechiari!” Take this right fork and travel 0.8 km further and you will find this wonderful Montechiari home. There are five window views in all four directions of the compass. Each one has spectacular views with the everchanging Tuscan light. Golden light! Even after sunset, the stars above and distant lights of Montalcino from the living room window are simply amazing. This home dating back to 1700, has hand-hewn exposed beams supporting vaulted ceilings. Form and function are perfectly balanced with modern conveniences added over the years. As a home renovator and careful observer of architecture, I found the details extraordinarily interesting. One evening, the hosts, Angela and Alessandro visited to ask if everything was okay – we gladly replied that all was perfect. They offered us a glass of wine and we sat together on the veranda enjoying some Italian/English conversation while the sun set on the landscape below. We speak English. They speak Italian. We made it work. This total immersion is what international travel is all about. We thoroughly enjoyed this. As hosts, they were great – attentive and mindful. They received our visit, showed us the rental, gave us the key, and left us to explore and enjoy their hilltop villa. The other two apartments in this structure were unoccupied during our visit. So we essentially had the entire villa to ourselves. So relaxing and wonderful. After several day trips to nearby Montalcino, Pienza, and a longer 90-minute drive to the Tyrrhenian Sea – I realized that the hilltop views from this VRBO are so impressive that it isn’t even necessary to go anywhere else. The local supermarket in Torrenieri has everything we needed. Just be aware, that familiarity is hard earned, so arrive in daylight. Cheers!!!

Good experience. Highly recommended

This apartment is situated in a typical toscana style house on one of the most beautiful hills of Toscana. The incredible 360 view ist just amazing and you feel like „heaven on earth“. The apartment is very well equipped and furnished with love. This apartment is ideal to forget the daily stress and to enjoy real life. Enjoying a glass of wine in the beautiful garden, hiking in the fields, mountainbiking or visiting the beautiful cities around Montechiari. All popular Toscana places are quite close, we stayed one week and visited Siena, Firenze, Montepulciano, Pienza, Montalcino and the amazing Bagni San Filippo. We had a very warm welcome from the hosts Angela and Alessandro who informed us about possible trips and all the things you need. We highly recommend this apartment and will come back for sure. Many thanks Angela and Alessandro for the splendid holiday we had, one which stays in our heart

'Montechiari' is a wonderful converted tuscan farmhouse at the top of a hill near Torrenieri. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful or peaceful location and the 360 views were stunning. Angela and her husband were lovely and made us feel very welcome. It was a great location to explore the Val D'Orcia with its hill top towns and vineyards. We had everything we needed and would highly recommend this as a perfect get away. Thank you so much!

Wonderful hosts, and the location couldn't be more picturesque. We stayed for four days, and the family made us feel welcome and comfortable. Peaceful and quiet, and close enough to all the major sites. Book with confidence!

We really enjoyed our stay at Montechiari. Angela's daughter Adele met us with a smile and was very helpful, cheerful, and informative. They helped us with information on a wine tasting, restaurants, etc. Angela and her husband were very kind and happy. This place has beautiful views over the fields of Tuscany. It is in a great location outside of the touristy areas, yet only about 5 minutes to a small town for supplies/coffee/etc. It was easy to tour the towns of Montepulciano and Montalcino in about 20 minutes from here. If you would like to stay away from the busy tourist area in a beautiful place, I HIGHLY recommend staying here! We also shopped for food at a nice supermarket in a nearby town and cooked breakfasts and dinners. We can't wait to come back and share this amazing spot with more friends. Thanks Angela and Adele!

Montechiari was not the easiest to find since it’s away from the offical street with only a small and winding gravel road leading towards it but once you find it it is like finding a tiny and cozy paradise. Angela and her husband greeted us so lovely (with selfmade cake!) that we immediately felt at welcome and at home. The apartment itself is just perfect for spending relaxing days in Tuscany. It is very beautiful and contains everything you need, every piece of furniture fits together, creating an atmosphere of rustic luxury you often see in interior magazines. But the best thing is the amazing view into the tuscan landscape and the solitude and quietness of the apartment. Even though there are 2-3 more apartments on the property there is enough space you will feel like you’re alone there. From Montechiari it is only a 20 minute drive to the scenic town of Montalcino and maybe a 40 minute drive to Pienza and Montepulciano. But there are other nice places to discover all around and Angela and her husband have a list of tipps for you. We spend such a nice and relaxing week there and couldn’t have wished for a more beautiful apartment or more lovely hosts! We would gladly return any time. Many thanks and best wishes from Germany!
