Podere La Ceppa

Laura was a very kind, helpful host, and our room was spacious, clean, and well equipped. It’s easy to feel away from everything here, even though you’re just minutes from the town center and highway, with plenty of places to visit in the heart of Tuscany within easy reach. Highly recommend.

Laura welcomes everyone so warmly, and her care gives the place its special charm. We arrived to find little extras in the fridge, plus fresh fruit and a bottle of Tuscan wine on the kitchen table, which helped us settle in and relax straight away. There are only a few apartments, each furnished with care, and Wi-Fi is available. We stayed in the lovely apartment with a small balcony and enjoyed breakfast outside in the fresh air. A staircase goes straight down to the garden, so our dog could play on the grass in front of us while we lingered over breakfast. That made the wait easier for her, and breakfast longer for us. 🙃 Dogs are very welcome and can wander freely around the spacious grounds. There’s also a nice apartment in the tower, with reception directly below. The owner, Laura, runs the place with a lot of love. You can rent a whole house here too if you’d rather have that than an apartment.

A quiet, peaceful spot with lovely views over Val d'Orcia. It’s easy to get to from the A1 motorway, and the place is run with care.

A real escape from everyday chaos, and more than we expected. This is about as good as Tuscany gets.
