Wonderful place. Rustic, country farmhouse with beautiful views of the countryside and sunsets. Angela and Alessandro were very welcoming and helpful. Great location for day trips but we loved coming back to spend the evenings enjoying the view.

Wonderful apartment with views of the Tuscan hills - such a peaceful setting! Wish we had more time than our 5 days to just relax at the property while exploring the medieval villages close by. Angela and Alessandro were wonderful hosts and waited at the property for us to arrive after dark with flashlights to guide us! A bit tricky to find as it was 1-2 miles up the gravel road past where our GPS ended. Hubby got lost one day and they met him and led him back to the property - sooo kind and helpful!! Angela communicates using WhatsApp. You'll ejoy your stay - we will be back!! ❤️❤️

The views from this VRBO are spectacular… the house is comfortable and clean. Look no further. I highly recommend this place! If I were to create a hilltop villa in Tuscany, this is what I would build. This VRBO is a quiet beautiful comfortable hilltop home. It is so comfortable, quiet, and serene. The drive up to the villa is slightly challenging only because after traveling a few kilometers north of Torrenieri and taking the left turn onto Strada Castelverdelli, the road is gravel, narrow, windy, and at the 1.2 km point, the road seems to end at the castle. It doesn’t though, keep going up the hill to the left of the castle, and after another 1 km, you will see a small hand-painted sign, “Montechiari!” Take this right fork and travel 0.8 km further and you will find this wonderful Montechiari home. There are five window views in all four directions of the compass. Each one has spectacular views with the everchanging Tuscan light. Golden light! Even after sunset, the stars above and distant lights of Montalcino from the living room window are simply amazing. This home dating back to 1700, has hand-hewn exposed beams supporting vaulted ceilings. Form and function are perfectly balanced with modern conveniences added over the years. As a home renovator and careful observer of architecture, I found the details extraordinarily interesting. One evening, the hosts, Angela and Alessandro visited to ask if everything was okay – we gladly replied that all was perfect. They offered us a glass of wine and we sat together on the veranda enjoying some Italian/English conversation while the sun set on the landscape below. We speak English. They speak Italian. We made it work. This total immersion is what international travel is all about. We thoroughly enjoyed this. As hosts, they were great – attentive and mindful. They received our visit, showed us the rental, gave us the key, and left us to explore and enjoy their hilltop villa. The other two apartments in this structure were unoccupied during our visit. So we essentially had the entire villa to ourselves. So relaxing and wonderful. After several day trips to nearby Montalcino, Pienza, and a longer 90-minute drive to the Tyrrhenian Sea – I realized that the hilltop views from this VRBO are so impressive that it isn’t even necessary to go anywhere else. The local supermarket in Torrenieri has everything we needed. Just be aware, that familiarity is hard earned, so arrive in daylight. Cheers!!!

A beautiful farm house with 360 degree views. A warm welcome awaits at this very quiet home. Hearing the bees, birds and the occasional tractor go by. Our apartment was spotless, with fresh linens including a few flowers. Our hosts Angela, Alexendro and Adele were amazing. They were always there when we needed them. We cannot thank them enough for all of their help and kindness. One week was not enough. Peace and quiet is guaranteed. To see the stars at night without any light pollution is rare indeed. Well certainly be returning !
