ルレ ヴァル ドルチャ(Relais Val d'Orcia)

This place is an absolute gem! We stayed in many lovely places in Italy, but this was our favorite. It's Tuscan style fits perfectly into it's setting but offers many new, modern conveniences. The views are stunning, but the real highlight here is the host who goes up and beyond to make sure her guests have a fabulous stay!

How can you thank God enough for creating such a paradise on Earth that is this Relais. Under the magic wand of owner/manager Laura, Relais Val d'Orcia sits atop a hill with Pienza rolling out before you. The coziness, cleanliness and convenience are perfect and the welcoming staff and pets are the icing on the cake. You will need a car because Paradise should never be easy to reach but, oh is it worth it!

This stay exceeded expectation. Owner is wonderful - going the extra mile for guests. Definitely recommend!

My husband and I spent a week in this beautiful part of Italy and we were enchanted by our stay. The meticulously renovated house is stunning and the owner, Laura, is the most gracious of hosts. We enjoyed the beautiful room, the views, the breakfast and that delicious home-made cakes and other goodies were available at all times. We highly recommend this Relais.

I can’t recommend this property enough. Laura went above and beyond from the time I made the reservation. I asked her for a lot of help with reservations and just general information. She was responsive and gave great recommendations. The property was as described, there was much attention to detail and breakfast was wonderful. I would highly recommend this property.

We spent 6 nights here for our honeymoon and enjoyed every moment of our stay! The property was gorgeous with the most beautiful flowers around the building. Our room was clean and comfortable with a lively view and impeccable service. It made an excellent base for exploring Tuscany as we were able to make day trips to Pienza, Montalcino, and Montepulciano as well as the Chianti region. The on-site restaurant was delicious - we ate there 3 of the 6 nights and would have been happy to eat there every night. We are just dreaming of our next trip to Tuscany and would be delighted to return here!

The property is on top of the hill. The view around you of the Tuscan valley and surrounding mountains: astounding! The owner Laura is very hands on in taking care of her guest. She took her time to even orient us even in how things work in our room. This property is a must, but you need to have a car to get there. They have a parking garage included in the price. Garage even has a gate. You cannot get into the property without going through a gate. Very safe.

We had a short 2 night stay here on our holiday in Tuscany. Absolutely beautiful location, the views are sensational. This is a lovely place to stay, really well run and very friendly (make sure you try the homemade tarts that appear every morning....delicious). Would recommend without any hesitation.

It was a beautiful facility and surroundings and owners were extremely nice. Only problem for me was no air conditioning! Guess I forgot to check that and it was very warm.
