The farmhouse has a composite structure. Its oldest part is the watching tower with a scarp wall. It was built in the ancient times by the Republic of Siena.
The farmhouse has been completely restored in 2009, according to the principles of bio-architecture; employing building materials such as bricks, slaked lime, wood; walls have been insulated by using cork; the heating system works with bio-masses and solar cells provide hot water. Our hosts will thus enjoy a stay in a healthy structure which takes care for the environment granting at the same time all the comforts required.
It is our desire to make our guests feel at home, in a warm atmosphere. The large open areas will allow a holiday in contact with nature.
New: we have a charging station for electric vehicles with a covered parking space with two T2 sockets for charging up to 10 kW.
We rent the entire facility on a self-catering basis; no meals are included.
Val d'Orcia Park
The territory of the Val d'Orcia is made up, mainly of a hilly landscape with gently rolling hills and valleys typical of the Sienese Crete and a rich variety of vegetation. The river Orcia springs from a gorge and winds its way across the valley.
Erosion of the soil has played a major role in the formation of the landscape with the clay soil laid bare and forming craggy badlands known as calanchi and clay knolls otherwise called biancane or mammelloni.
The tree species found throughout the area are the holm oak, turkey oak and downy oak which cover the territory in woodlands which become thicker towards the Maremma. However the tree which has become a symbol of the Val d'Orcia is the cypress.
The Val d’Orcia is also home to a large variety of wildlife such as the porcupine, badger, beech marten, polecat, weasel, fox, and wild boar. It is an ornithologist’s paradise with the barn owl, eagle owl and little owl, as well as birds of prey such as the buzzard, harrier eagle and kestrel.
Pienza
Small jewel of the Renaissance in the heart in Tuscany, to the center of one of the most beautiful zones in Italy and richer than treasures of art, it owes his name and his fame to Enea Silvio Piccolomini become famous as Pious II. Big part of its more beautiful architecture was made to realize really from Pious Pope II among 1459 and 1462 that is called to work to Pienza one of the most famous architects of the epoch, Bernard Rossellino, turning the suburb native of Corsignano into a splendid Renaissance town, exceptional example of architecture and urbanism fifteenth-century.
Pienza, declared by the Unesco world patrimony of the humanity for the importance of his monuments and his urban order, it also constitutes, an ideal destination for a brief stay, a relaxing vacation between culture and gastronomy, to the center of a territory for big part still uncontaminated.
Montepulciano
The city a very particular configuration: it is constructed along a geological ridge running down from the highest point. Today we find an extremely long main street leading from the Porta al Prato to the Piazza Grande. The houses are organised around this main street ina series of perpendicular short, narrow lanes- often extremely steep. The most important buildings are practically all on the main street, presenting a long procession of facades, almost an 'exhibition'of high level architectural design. There have been tho mai periods of architectural significance in Montepulciano, the XVI Century, and those years bridging the XVII and XVIII Centuries.
The costruction outside the gates of the imposing 'Temple of San Biagio, on a projects of Antonio da Sangallo il Vecchio create a 'Style' taken up by most of the master builders, it inspires the palaces of the Avignonesi, Cocconi Cervini, Gagnoni-Grugni, Contucci and Tarugi, to mention only the main names.
- "We had a wonderful experience from start to finish at La Grencaia. During our reservation process, Franco was very prompt and accommodating to changing dates and needs. Once we arrived, the property exceeded our expectations in terms of the beauty of the grounds, the spaciousness of the home, cleanliness and comfort. The pictures really don’t do it justice… We were lucky to have very nice weather when we were there so utilized the pool almost everyday. A caution to those travelling with young children: it’s almost 5 feet deep so kids will either need to stay in the small pool, or be prepared with floaties. We also took advantage of the private chef service on two occasions and were thrilled with the quality and service-professional but very warm. The location was great: 15 minutes to the Chianciano where there is a grocery store, restaurants, post office etc and the same to Montepulciano, Montichiello and just a bit further to other gorgeous Tuscan towns. There is La Foce Dopolavoro close by for a nice dinner too. I would note on the location that you absolutely need a a car here. It’s about a mile to the main road which is a gravel country road, so you won’t be able to walk into a town or even to a store. Franco was such an accommodating and warm host and our young son fell in love with him as he’d bring fresh eggs and come ti feed the two resident cats every morning! This is a 10/10 recommendation!"

In summer you can see the plays of “Teatro Povero”, which are world-famous for being written and performed by Monticchiello habitants.
Pienza, the Renaissance town that pope Pious II wanted to rebuild, is also very close. The thermal baths of Bagno Vignoni are another fascinating visit. The nearby town of Montalcino is paticularly well-known for its wine, the “Brunello”. San Quirico is worth a visit for its Collegiata Church. The woods of Amiata. Montepulciano, “pearl” of Cinquecento is famous for its “Nobile” wine and recently has been chosen as a natural “film set” for the second chapter of Twilight Saga, New Moon. Chiusi, with its National Etruscan Museum offers a different point of view.

Breakfast was wonderful each morning, and the owner even helped us to arrange a chef-prepared dinner! The views were spectacular from the back yard, and the rooms were clean and nice. It was located just a few steps away from a beautiful medieval village that you can walk to for dinner. We would for sure recommend this property!" - "CLEAN, WELL MANAGED AND DELIGHTFUL"

- "Great place for extended family to meet up in Tuscany" - "The villa was fabulous! All the rooms were excellent, each with a private bathroom, clean, and comfortable. Livio and Mirella, the caretakers who live at the villa, were constantly available to help with any situation. One of the highlights of our stay was the outdoor dining table that Marella and Livio set up for us that accommodated all 20 people and looked out over the valley. We had each dinner there. Livio also set up the woodburning barbecue for us to use. They helped arrange for us to have 2 delicious catered dinners by Roberto. The pool was another highlight. It was always cleaned and maintained and our group used its every afternoon. The grounds were gorgeous with flowers everywhere. The only negative was the road to the villa was very rough and bumpy by American standards, but we learned how to drive it slowly. Thank you Livio and Marella for making our stay so perfect and memorable. A Mille Grazie!"

Olivia was the an incredible host who helped us with anything we needed!" - "Great week and everything we could have hoped! Olivia was a wonderful host and Lucia just terrific each morning!" - "We spent one week at Olivia’s home in the heart of the Val d’orcia. The home is spacious and well decorated with rustic historic beams, a cook’s kitchen and indoor wood fire pizza oven. The yard is beautifully landscaped with amazing views all around and has a delightful infinity pool with view. Oliva was so helpful and responsive, setting up a pizza night for us and making sure we had plenty of wood for grilling on the outdoor fire grill. She also shared her garden and orchards with us so we had plenty of fresh tomatoes, herbs, fruit and eggs. The tower has amazing 360 degree views and was a great place for sunset happy hours and stargazing at night. The house was centrally located, generally 15 to 30 minutes away from most of the towns we visited. I was a bit concerned that there was no air conditioning but the house stayed nice and cool even on 87 degree days. I highly recommend staying here, you will not be disappointed and will come home relaxed and rejuvenated!"

This beautiful independent villa is located in the spectacular landscape well known as Val d’Orcia, a short distance from the small hamlet of Monticchiello and also within easy reach of Pienza. When the owners bought the property it was just a ruin but a long and careful restoration has transformed it in to a high quality and comfortable villa with a delightful pool.
In restoring the structure as a comfortable vacation house of exceptional character, the owners\' main aim was to respect the original features of the building. Rooms with wood-beamed ceilings are well-sized and open to the most beautiful views of the valley, with wheat fields, olive groves, and cypress trees. The owner family maintained the traditional structure of the farmhouse and kept the house divided into two independent units: the ground level, once the stables, which can accommodate ten people, and the top level, where the peasants used to live, which sleeps four more people. As a result, Villa Pamina is the perfect setting for family reunions or groups of friends looking for an “oasis” of tranquility, surrounded by art and culture. The villa sleeps 14 guests and is approximately 600 sqmt. On the ground floor there is a fully-equipped chef\'s kitchen (fridge with freezer, oven, microwave oven, kettle, 5 rings cooker, dishwasher); a huge living-dining room with double doors opening to the front patio and to the back garden. In the smaller living room there is a large stone fireplace surrounded by wide red sofas spreading a warm and cozy atmosphere. Five spacious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms complete the remaining space on this floor. An external stone staircase leads to the upper floor unit; four breathtaking arched windows overlook the valley and the huge oak tree in front of the house, creating an open and dynamic space. Another large stone fireplace offers an ideal retreat for afternoon reading. A fully equipped kitchen will appeal to those who love cooking, and the vistas and plantings from the many windows are very pleasing to the eye. The extensive lawn is mainly seeded with grass to maintain the open space of the valley and not to restrict the view around the farmhouse. Terracotta pots with geraniums, wild roses, and bushes of lavender and rosemary create a beautiful frame around the pool. The covered dining space with fireplace, pizza oven, barbecue, table and chairs will let guests enjoy unforgettable Tuscan sunsets. A laundry room with washing machine, hangers, ironing board and iron is available for the guests of the villa. Monticchiello is the nearest village, just two km away; Pienza is seven km away; Siena is about 72 km away.Ground floor: 5 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, guest toilet, reading room with fireplace and TV, spacious living room, fully-equipped kitchenFirst floor: 2 double bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, one small kitchen, living room with table and TV, Wifi available in all the roomsBarbecue room: Table and chairs for 14 people, pizza oven and barbecue, laundry room with washing machine and ironOutside: Panoramic swimming pool furnished with wooden sundecks, ample parkingIncluded in the rental price: Utilities, final cleaning, weekly linen change, pool towels, Wi-FiAvailable upon request at additional cost: Chef service (30 Euro/hour + food receipt), extra maid service, baby cot & high chair (50 Euro/week), pets (max 2 - 100 Euro/week), weddings & events (please inquire)
- "This is the quintessential Tuscan farmhouse experience. The location, just outside the beautiful village of Monticchiello, with perfect sunset views of the Val d’Orcia, can’t be beat. The house is large and could have easily accommodated a group much bigger than ours (6 people), but was cozy enough for my two young boys to be comfortable. We didn’t have the chance to use it, but the pool, bread/pizza oven, and wood fire grill all looked great. Check-in and check-out were very easy, and Serena is a great host. The house has everything you need."
