Palazzo di Valli

We spent 2 days at the Palazzo do Vali and absolutely loved it!! Beautiful surroundings, magnificent home with frescoes on the ceiling and an old world charm! Sitting in the garden with a spectacular view of beautiful Siena was a perfect way to start our days with a delicious breakfast and also to end our days with some amazing italian red wine.
Many thanks to Lorenzo and staff for making our stay unforgettable.

My husband and I were very impressed as soon as we arrived. Benjamin already knew who we were by names without having to show any booking documents. All staff were extremely professional and friendly greeting us with a smile. They were all very helpful with information like providing tour guidances, places to dine, etc. The whole compound is out of the world. We definitely picked the perfect setting for what we were after, a rustic Tuscany environment. Big enough outside the busy Siena town and...

Overall a great stay! A bit off the core sights we were seeing. We stayed Oct 2026. It was still warm during the day and cool at night though the AC was already turned to heat. Pool is not heated so likely amazing in summer but was a bit cold for us, Hottub and Sauna for rent. The food service was great, very tasting and welcoming staff. Place was very clean and there’s only 10 rooms or 25 guests max which is great! During the week there was low occupancy and instead of buffet they served a...

This place absolutely blew our minds and far exceeded anything we were expecting. After the chaos of Rome, Palermo and the Amalfi Coast, this property was exactly what we needed to recharge and enjoy the peace and quiet. Everything from the room to the property to the surrounding area was just stunning. You definitely need a car though if you plan on going into Pienza. I was assured there were taxis available so didn't rent a car but we could not get any taxis from Pienza out to the...

Large rooms, helpful staff, delicious breakfast at a very reasonable price. There’s no water by the hotel, as seen in the picture. It’s located on a very old walled town… quite quaint.
