How many people can say they’ve stayed in a 15th-century convent? You can if you book Relais Chiostro di Pienza, a charming hotel set right in the heart of Pienza.

The staff was excellent and friendly, accommodating last minute requests. The dinner was the best meal of the trip. Pici, a local pasta with pecorino cheese and shaved truffles, and the BEST sautéed spinach of my entire life! (I enjoy a lot of spinach at home and while traveling!)
Also, the view from the dining tables was spectacular!
Only 492 feet from the center of Pienza, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Piccolo Hotel La Valle offers a rooftop terrace with panoramic views of the Val D'Orcia valley, where you can enjoy breakfast.

The location of this property and the view were spectacular. A 2 second walk into town and a stunning view of the Tuscan country side. Couldn’t ask for a better position. The rooms were clean and enough space for a one night stay. The breakfast was cute and had everything you needed except bacon etc. but we didn’t care as the pasties and salami alone were delicious as were the plethora of cakes and desserts. If you are looking for a massive hot food spread you will not find it here except scrambled eggs. But honestly it doesn’t matter. It was perfect for us.
Located in Pienza, in a building dating from 2016, A440 in Tuscany features a bio lake and guestrooms with free WiFi.

Very good location, 10 mins walk to Pienza town center, no need to worry about the ZTL. Not just the interior is quite neat, the view from the place is amazing. Don’t forgot to check the pool and enjoy overlooking the orcia valley.

Pienza is small but has an excellent selection for dining. Sight seeing in town is somewhat limited but affords terrific views over Val d'Orcia. If you like Pecorino cheese, you have to visit the shops in Pienza. Quick bite, try Pizzeria Pummaro near gate into old center. For charm and quality meal try Pane Vino & Zucchero. For all round the Trattoria la Buca Delle Fate is good. For a good hike outside of town, don't stop at the spot where they shot the Gladiator scene, keep going.

Pienza has one main street which means it can feel crowded when a relatively small number of people visit. There is limited free parking which is also used by residents.
There are a variety of small shops which mostly sell typical regional products. There is an abundance of Pecorino and hams. It is possible to buy a range of different quality of jewelry. There are also a few clothes shops.
There is a beautiful panoramic walk on the entrance from the North.
The town is blessed with a variety of restaurants and bars which are mostly tradition Tuscan food. There are also at least two ice cream shops.
The market takes place on Friday. In October there are a number of events such as the chocolate festival which means it gets very crowded on the weekend. There are limited public services such as clean bathrooms.
I limited the amount of time that I visited the town during my week long stay mainly due to access to parking. You have to pay 24/7 which is a problem for evening meal when travelling alone in the dark at a parking meter.

We utilised Pienza as a base from which to explore various towns within the Val D'Orcia, a world heritage area. We could have stayed longer to visit more towns and explore mountain biking trails. Pienza in itself is clean, beautifully restored, has chic dining spots and it was a privilege to have visited.

Pienza is now one of our favourite destinations in Tuscany. We have visited San Gimignano, Siena, Monteriggioni. Montepulcino whilst travelling by car and have found Pienza to be so pretty and enjoyable to be in. Parking was easy to navigate and the laneways of Pienza were quiet and so charming. The walkway/lookout side of the town provided vistas that you would hope for. Pienza is also quite close to those classic Tuscan scenes/photos that you may have seen previously.

I loved absolutely everything about this place.
I loved absolutely everything about this place. From location, to comfort, to the friendliest host (Tommaso) ever. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to explore the Tuscan country side. It is close to Pienza and many other attractions and is just a gem of a place.
My wife and I had an amazing couple of nights here during our honeymoon.. Federico was incredibly hospitable, generous and gave us great tips about the area. Breakfast was perfect. Beds were VERY comfortable. 10min drive from Bagno Vignoni, Montecchielo and Pienza makes this a really special, well situated spot worth visiting any time you're in Tuscany. In fact, we were so impressed by the service and so moved by the view thay we ended up staying an additional night. Highly, highly recommended.
Everything.
OgniVolta is a beautifully apartment - made even more so by the care and consideration of Sandra, the host/owner. The location is in the village, but still very accessible by car, with a large paid municipal parking lot close by. The apartment is clean, spacious and modern with all the facilities for a long stay - full kitchen, starter fruits, pastries and juices. Pienza (and Orvieto) were highlights of our 3 weeks in Slovenia and Tuscany. Cannot recommend more highly.
Peaceful, beautiful grounds around the hotel. Staff and very attentive, booking a wine tour at a local winery with added discount :) Breakfast was delicious, especially the juices :) made with all local products. Ate dinner every night during our 3 nights as was easy to enjoy wine without driving home. Be sure to get some wine, cheese at local town in Pienza, 15 min drive and enjoy on hotel grounds by the pool while watching the sunset, spectacular!
Wonderful castle hotel in Val d'Orcia. Check in was comfortable, the lady handed us a paper with recommended restaurants and activities in the area. The castle has a big garden with swimming pool. It was easy to visit some towns in the area from here (like Pienza and Montepulciano). Breakfast was awesome. The castle produces its own vegetables, fruits, wine, wheat, etc which are sold at the shop located on its property. Would recommend!
Alice and Simon were so helpful with everything. Although the apartment is on three floors, we didn't have trouble navigating the stairs and Simon helped us with the luggage. The property is right in the heart of Pienza and it's a delightful village. You can see the church tower from the bedroom window. (The bells do toll several times a day but I loved it.)
We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay while visiting Tuscany.
The location could not be beat. It was the most breathtaking location for a hotel I’ve ever ever been at. We felt like we were in a castle surrounded by velvet green hills made of vineyards and olive groves. I love photography and this was just a dream come true. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind. Breakfast was delicious. They even gave us fresh flowers to celebrate our anniversary.
The Val d'Orcia is one of the most beautiful areas of Tuscany. Pienza is one of the most beautiful towns in the Val d'Orcia. And La Corte Antica is one of the most beautiful apartments in Pienza - right in the historic centre. So we were well pleased. Alice and Simone are perfect hosts. Everything was made easy for our stay. Perfectly located. Everything you need, Spotlessly clean.
This charming hotel is in a former cloister. The setting is absolutely stunning - we ate an excellent dinner on the terrace and watched a glorious slow sunset. Breakfast in the morning was very good with a good selection. The room was much larger and more comfortable than I expected and the bathroom was nicely modern. The staff were friendly and helpful.
We finished our honeymoon in this charming place! The Inn is cozy clean and so beautifully decorated, and the staff is amazing!! We enjoyed all the food and wine and the property itself (the pool is great) It’s so close to Pienza which is a cute little town and the rest of the main sites to visit in Tuscany. We’d love to come back soon! Thanks Giuseppe!
Stunning views in a remote area of Pienza. Washer onsite. There wasn’t really a place clothes to hang clothes to dry, but we made it work. We visited in November, so the pool was closed (expected). It looked like a great little pool though. Easy parking for rental car. Amazing location for a local farm/cooking class 2km away!
Beautiful castle in the Val d’orcia. Good base camp to visit Pienza, Bagno Vignoni, and San Quirico d’Orcia. Room was spotless, staff was great, breakfast very well done, nice sunset view garden in the back. Great authentic pasta restaurant next door.
The room (108) had a superb view to south on the Monte Amiata.
As the terrace of the Hotel as well.
The breakfast was really good and had a very good variety.
The hotel is located in Pienzas old town simply at the best location.
Beautiful spot in Tuscany. Because this family also has a farm in Pienza you can park there for free and walk around gorgeous Pienza. An added bonus. Loved the Family Dinner on Thursday. True Farm to Table.
A fantastic small hotel in the heart of the town. Perfect for a short visit and everything in the room etc. was of a very high standard and quality. Would absolutely stay again if ever in Pienza.
The most beautiful view from a hotel room we have ever seen. Great breakfast, polite staff, parking. Everything you need for a great, relaxing time in Tuscany.
