This property is outstanding in every way and we could not have hoped for anything more. The setting is breathtaking, and the view of SanGimignano is magical at any time of the day, but at sunset it is stunning and the perfect place to end the day is on the terrace with an aperitif watching the sun dip behind the horizon. We stayed on a half board basis and every meal was truly delicious and locally sourced and again was beyond our expectations. All of the staff are wonderful and it would be wrong to pick out one person as nothing is too much trouble, and you feel that you are being looked after by friends who really care about you. Il Segreto casts a spell on you from the moment you arrive, and I will certainly recommend this beautiful place and hosts to everyone looking for peace, total relaxation and a little bit of paradise that they will never forget.

Absolutely beautiful agriturismo situated in stunning gardens. Our room was really lovely with a comfortable bed, nice bathroom and plenty of room for suitcases. Our booking included half board which included a delicious buffet breakfast and three course dinner. The owners are very welcoming and the in-house chef is amazing. The location is only a few minutes drive to San Gimignano and 35 mins drive to Siena. We hired a car in Siena and did day trips each day. Stunning part of Tuscany.

Il Segreto di Pietrafitta is the definition of perfection. Simply an impeccable and wonderful stay. From the location, the accommodation (room), the building and the surroundings itself, the delicious food (breakfast & 3-course dinner = heaven.), the whole team around the wonderful and most warm & kind hosts Diego & Pedro - everything was just perfect. We have travelled the world, but this place and this team is high end. Thank you for making our Tuscany trip something we will remember forever. We will be visiting this place again for sure!!

We cannot fault this place.

Everything about this place is fantastic. Pedro and Diego were so helpful arranging our transport, and all the staff were so welcoming and kind during our stay - they could not do enough for us. The food was amazing, we loved having the set menus so we could try different things, everything was so fresh and delicious. The location was great, we didn't rent a car but could easily walk to get the bus into San Gimignano. This is a great town to explore as a tourist as there is plenty there but not too crowded. The views of the town and the surrounding countryside from the hotel were unbeatable. The room was super, it had a lovely rustic feel, but the facilities were also really modern and clean. We can't wait for our next visit!

IL Segreto di Pietrafitta is a perfect place for a beautiful, relaxing stay, and a great launching point for visiting Tuscany. It is meticulously decorated, and the staff go out of their way to accomodate guests. The meals provided are excellent and plated so nicely. I did think the evening dinners were portioned a little small and on several evenings a bit light on protein, but I would say they are not to be missed when you stay there.

Had the most fantastic time at Il Segreto di Pietrafitta. Pedro and Diego are amazing hosts and go out of their way to help. The rooms are excellent with great Tuscan style and ambiance, but very practical too with excellent bathrooms. The grounds are just totally amazing. The pool and terrace are brilliant and the views of San Gimignano are to die for. You can walk around and there are just amazing views from every angle. Breakfast and dinner each day were next level. The food is really fantastic and we looked forward each day to the amazing dinners. I just cannot undersell how great this place is. It was very bittersweet to leave and we’d love to return.

Leaving, we miss it already.

On the taxi ride over, you are greeted with a breathtaking view of Tuscan vineyards, and it only gets better from there. We were welcomed by the lovely Andrea, and he helped us get settled in and gave us a tour of the place. Once we got into our rooms, we were in awe of all the decor, and we almost fell asleep immediately because of how comfortable the beds were. Instead, we rested by the pool and got a few cocktails (I recommend the Hugo spritz and the Il Segreto). We were so relaxed, time flew by so quickly. Soon came dinner, and it felt like luxury to have so many courses be presented to you, and they all tasted delightful. The next day, we trekked to San Gimignano, which allowed us to see the beautiful views (or you can take the bus). If you plan to go on a Thursday, I recommend checking if Gelateria dondoli has gelato making classes. Otherwise, I recommend eating some Italian Garden gelato at their store. Be sure to check out the tower and cathedral as well. We were also greeted by the lovely Pedro and Diego during our second dinner, and they have been the best hosts I have ever met. They are so attentive, always willing to help, and if you need any recommendations or directions, they are very resourceful. I recommend asking if there are any cooking classes because we had so much fun making lunch. And I recommend going for the Florentine steak for at least one of the nights because it was one of the best steaks we have ever had. Overall, the staff are amazing, the food and drinks are delightful and the amenities you will love. It was the best part of our trip, and is now my favourite place in Europe. We'll definitely be coming back.

Wow, our stay was amazing with wonderful hosts. From the moment we arrived we felt at home in this breathtaking location. Dining on the outdoor terrace for breakfast and dinner was a highlight, each time it took our breath away. The food was amazing, one of the best fresh breakfast choices we have enjoyed. So relaxing by the pool, a beautiful, quiet, intimate place with the nicest, most helpful staff and hosts. This was our 2nd time in Tuscany and it blew us away. Can't wait to go back, cannot thank you enough for your hospitality, it is a credit to you!

Nothing, it’s perfect in every way.

Everything! Picturesque property with the nicest staff and unbelievable food. Pedro and Diego have created something special in the hills just outside San Gimignano. Our stay here was easily the best part of our 2 weeks in Italy, topped off by a cooking class with Andrea on the terrace. It was a truly magical experience.

This was the best place we stayed at during our trip through Italy. Everything was fantastic and they were incredible hosts. My partner is a coeliac and they prepared separate gluten free food for her breakfast and dinner.
