Recommendations for an Agriturismo in Tuscany that will book for less than a week?

Posted by (Birmingham, AL) on

Hello,

My family of four will be in Tuscany in early June and we want to stay in the Montelpulciano/Pienza area (although a little farther afield would also be OK. I have been researching a lot of Agriturismos and find that many of them want you to say for a week. We only have three nights. Ideally I would like to find one that serves breakfast and dinner, but at the minimum, I want one that serves breakfast.

Does anyone have an y recommendations for places you know will accept a shorter stay?

Thanks

Just outside Montepulciano is Poggio-Etrusco. I do not think they have one-week week minimum. Thet serve breakfast and Pamela also does cooking classes. Not sure about dinner.

I David,
Try Agriturismo Lafonte located in/near Pienza. They do have a pool, AC & breakfast. There is also a restaurant and a brewery on the property. We are only staying 4 nights not 7.

Check out their website....

We loved Podere Santa Maria below Monticchiello & near Pienza. Warm wonderful hosts & amazing food in a gorgeous peaceful setting. We stayed a week in May 2017 but some other guests stayed for fewer nights. I can't wait to return.

Jen,

Thanks for your reply, but La Fonte has said they only book for a one week period during that time. Perhaps you are visiting them at a less peak time..

I'm still hunting. So far I have only found two place that will agree to a less than one week stay and both are on the high side of my budget.

We had a wonderful stay for three nights at Tenuto San Pietro and OMG, incredible breakfast buffet every day:

They have a lovely onsite restaurant. It's a working olive oil farm and winery as well so it's fun to enjoy their wine.

If you want to read more about our experience there (and the breakfast buffet) as well as the best meal of our lives and visit to the nearby and beautiful Abby di Sant'Antimo, head over to my blog at:
