Wonderful Retreat
We were a group of two couples visiting Tuscany. We very much enjoyed staying on “ the farm” during our stay and found the little village nearby to be especially charming. The farm house provided all the comforts we needed and we especially loved the animals Thank You!

Outstanding location
To say we loved our stay at Villa Vignalunga is an understatement. The accommodations, the location, the food, and even the smells from the flowers in the garden were all beyond what we had dreamed of when we booked this trip. Will not hesitate to book again on our next trip to Tuscany.

Amazing Tuscan Getaway
This peaceful Castiglione d'Orcia villa was the perfect home base for our group of seven adults. It was very well-appointed and secluded enough to allow us to truly relax and disconnect, but still within easy driving distance to many charming towns, wineries, and restaurants. Gaia was a fantastic host, answering all our questions and helping arrange two home-cooked meals at the villa (highly recommend!). Being early December, the weather was cool and at times rainy, and some restaurants were closed, but that didn't prevent us from enjoying everything the area has to offer. Lovely stay!

Incredible stay with friends
Stayed here to celebrate my birthday with 11 friends (including my friends daughter who was about 2yr old) and it was simply heaven. The property is out of a storybook and the amenities were perfection. Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, amazing amenities and great add ons! We booked a cooking class and served dinner, both were great and very authentic. The massage was good, but not a must. In the end we really spoiled ourselves with this stay and plan to do it again every year. Highly highly recommend for really any reason you come up with! Also Gaia from WP Relais was great to work with, patient and made sure we had everything we needed to make the trip extra special. Such a special experience! Thank you!!

SO AMAZING!!
This is an extraordinary place to stay! The house (houses) was everything we could ask for, as was the surrounding area. There was lots of outdoor space to enjoy, and the amenities were incredible. We all talked about when we could return. I highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for a special place in Tuscany.

Perfect Tuscan home
Our stay in Tuscany at Castiglione d’Orcia was wonderful. The home is the perfect combination of old world Tuscan farmhouse style and modern amenities. The home is beautifully decorated, has amazing views, comfortable furniture, a well appointed kitchen with many spices and tools, modern bathrooms and much more. We felt so at home here especially thanks to the animals wandering the large grounds. We loved all of our cat friends who came to visit and we took a moment every day to visit the horses, goats and chickens. Th grounds are lovely and we had lots of room to roam. We felt very private and and secluded here. Gaia was the perfect hostess and had amazing communication. She arranged two amazing dinners for us. We had a lovely birthday celebration complete with birthday cake custo made. We also had one of our favorite evenings of the trip with a feast made in the pizza oven. It was the best pizza anyone in our group had ever had. Gaia also was so kind enough to find a local chiropractor and book and appointment for a member of our group when they were injured. It made a huge difference and she did it all quickly and without complaint. I am looking for an excuse to return to the house with a larger group, there were just four of us and many more could have joined us. I will always look back fondly on our time there and wish to hopefully return.

Wonderful house
Great house in a stunning location. Kids loved the pool and collecting eggs. We used a cook from the local village and her food was excellent country cooking.

Magical vacation!
We were so lucky when we found this home to rent for our Tuscan Holiday! Gaia, the owner was absolutely wonderful to work with and really made us feel at ease knowing that everything would be taken care of and the home would be lovely. The pictures just can't do the house justice as it is absolutely stunning! Each room and bathroom has the up most attention to detail. The beds are very comfortable and the home is well stocked with everything you need. The house is on the property of a working farm and it was was fun to be able to see the horses, donkey, chickens, geese and ducks every day (although they are also well hidden if you don't want to encounter the animals as the property is huge). Each morning we had fresh farm eggs from the chickens! I can't say enough great things about this home. I am really looking forward to when we can return. A few things to note- in order to get to the house the home is on a dirt road so it is helpful (although not necessary) to have a car that is better suited for that. the kitchen was well stocked and really fun to cook in - it took me a little while to figure out that the oven timer needs to be on before you can set the temperature and baking style :) This was a great experience and I would highly recommend this house to anyone!

Maison impeccable, charme authentique, cadre exceptionnel, calme remarquable. 100 %. Divina Toscana
Nichée dans un écrin de verdure, au calme campagnard, cette vieille ferme toscane remise au goût du jour a tout pour satisfaire un groupe de vacanciers en quête de repos, d’authenticité, de calme. Et si vous voulez faire la fête, vous ne dérangerez personne! Située dans le Val d’Orcia, elle permet de visiter toutes les merveilles de la région (Montalcino, Montepulciano, Pienza, Sienne, Firenze, San Gimignano, Volterra, Sant’ Antimmo, Saturnia, etc…). Accueil remarquable par Saba, propreté exemplaire, équipement de maison au top, nettoyage et remplacement du linge de maison à mi séjour (nous y avons séjourné 15 jours), disponibilité et réponses/solutions rapides en cas de problème,… bref TOP. Le sauna privé fut un plaisir, sans parler de la piscine avec un contre-courant. Nous recommandons aussi de réserver une « soirée pizza »
