Val d'Orcia, Tuscany hotel rooms at the Independent

"This was a fantastic place to stay while visiting Montalcino. Spectacular views from our room and from the breakfast area and pool deck. Staff was very hospitable, and the breakfast buffet was really good. Mimosa’s restaurant recommendations were on point😎. I picked this place somewhat randomly for me and my dad and did not regret it. Walking distance to great restaurants and gelato. Rooms are not elaborate, but you’re not there to stay in your room. A couple of suggestions: - if you put this place into Apple Maps or Google Maps, IT WILL SEND YOU UP A GRAVEL AGRICULTURAL ROAD WITH 20% GRADE, the Strada Communale Del Canaliccio. OMG, my heart was in my throat driving up this and we narrowly avoided an accident. Instead, ask Maps app to take you to Via Pietro Strozzi, then to the hotel. We made it safely, but there was some stress!! - there is very little permanent parking at the hotel. Drive there, drop your stuff, and they will give you a parking pass and directions to parking. - this may not be the place for those with severely limited mobility. The cobblestone roads are pretty steep. - if you need suggestions for wineries, there are so many, but Col D’Orcia won’t let you down. Book ahead.🍷"

"Me and my wife stayed there for our honeymoon. We had an exceptional time. The service was exceptional. The pools and amenities were very nice. Great! Breakfast was just free. Located close to montel Chino and many great wineries. Specifically, we really enjoyed the wine tasting. The entire staff were great but here were some standouts , We were helped by Kristian who made us feel extremely welcomed and Morris who performed our wine tasting and he was an exceptional. Strong recommendation, great value."

"Would stay here again."

"Everything was/is as it should be! "

"Pool is wonderful! Location is great. Breakfast is very good and staff is very helpful. We totally enjoyed our visit if there is one criticism or would be that sleeping and bathrooms are up a staircase in the room. So if you have a problem with stairs this place might not work for you. No problem for me but could be for some. "

"I don't know where to begin the hotel is in center of everything nice underground parking garage and the staff couldn't been any friendly, helpful and caring The reception staffs their where excelent if We are coming back to pienza staying there 💯 percent thanks you so much "

"The rooms are just so beautiful & large. Nicely decorated, big bathroom & shower. Lots of light, with a front courtyard. Rooms cleaned everyday & great espresso machine in room. Office staff so helpful & polite!! Restaurant looks out over the countryside & delicious free breakfast. We also enjoyed dinner there twice with a very professional & friendly staff. Property location was perfect to go to nearby cities & close by to good wineries & restaurants. We would definitely return there when going to Tuscany again!! We were sad to leave"

"Very peaceful "

"Beautiful property and great service. Was a little disappointed they charge double the price for wine they make in their back yard then I pay here in Montreal."
