Comfortable stay in a picturesque location
Our stay in Ripa d'Orcia was very comfortable and relaxing. On arrival, we were welcomed and shown around our property by Lucia, who made us feel very welcome. A number of local and home-grown produce items were left in the apartment for us to enjoy at our leisure. The apartment is well-appointed with a spacious combined kitchen, dining and living room. This is connected to a very comfortable double bedroom with en-suite bathroom. The property is located in the stunning scenery of the Val d'Orcia and enjoys splendid panoramic views across the valley and the hilltop towns of Rocca d'Orcia and Castiglione d'Orcia. The communal terrace offers several tables both in the open and under a sun canopy, so you can partake of this vista. The property is about 5 minutes drive along a typical Tuscan white road from the town of San Quirico d'Orcia, with a range of shops, cafes and restaurants. Overall, we would highly recommend this tranquil location.

Fabulous Farm Stay in Tuscany
We absolutely loved our time in Tuscany at Lucia's Farm Stay. The space was super clean, cosy warm and with stunning views of the Tuscan hills. We would highly recommend this accommodation spot to others. Lucia was a wonderful host who provided very clear instructions on how to arrive and she gave us some great tips of places to explore.

Beautiful Location, lacking in communication
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It is more rustic than it lets on in the pictures, and down a long gravel road, but the view and hospitality more than make up for it. We never met Lucia, and both her parents spoke no English, so the check in process was a bit confusing. Lucia also wanted us to send a picture of our passports to her over another app, but I think the HomeAway app's poor messaging system is to blame for that. I would recommend staying here, just be sure you know what your getting into. It is a working farm, and some of the emenities are sparce (no microwave, only a small toaster oven, no modern coffee maker), but it also has a real coziness about it. The view over the valley is spectacular, and the quietness and peace is contagious. It's not a hotel, and it doesn't pretend to be one. But I feel it is a great value for your money in Val d'Orcia.

Is this heaven? No, it’s Poderuccio.
The photos don’t do it justice. This is a breathtaking setting, with abandoned castles on nearby peaks and verdant, rural scenery in all directions. Our two-room “farmhouse” was spotless, completely up to date, fully equipped for cooking, and perfectly decorated as a Tuscan residence. Some staff speak little English, but we were able to make ourselves understood without much difficulty. We took advantage of the area’s many hiking trails; part of the famous “Via Francigena”, an ancient pilgrimage route now popularized for long-distance treks, lies between the property and the nearby town of San Quirico d’Orcia. (The town, by the way, has a quaint old section behind fortress walls that’s worth checking out during your meanderings.) As you’ll see in other reviews, it’s a few kilometers down a rural dirt road from downtown (and past some other agriturismos; keep bearing left until you start to descend the hill). The full-size apartment refrigerator includes a few “minibar” beverages for sale, but the Co-op supermarket in town is handily located for all your shopping needs. (We brought instant coffee, and used the supplied hot water kettle, to supplement the several kinds of tea provided on site.) Lucia has posted several recommendations for restaurants, and local places to explore, inside each apartment. Day trips to the many hill towns and other sights in the region are easily accomplished. But take some time to enjoy the vistas, absorb the Tuscan sunlight, and relax on the spacious patio. Our five nights here were easily the highlight of our trip to Italy. Enjoy!

Breathtaking views!
We loved the apartment, although it is a bit of a trek from town on a bumpy gravel road. A washing machine was available for use but you had to dry the clothes on a clothesline. The weather was absolutely perfect for our trip (rained only one evening). It was so nice to sit out on the patio and enjoy the absolutely wonder view across the valley. The olive tree orchards, the vineyards....all were so beautiful. Everything was clean and if you needed anything, they were helpful in getting what you needed. We asked about a restaurant one evening and she called and made us a reservation. We used this apartment as home base to travel around Tuscany to the various villages. It was a great location.

Beautiful views, very rural
Quiet and peaceful and 5 km down an easy gravel road out of town. Apt. was spacious and comfortable and language was no issue: we are proficient in sign language! We were there early Sept. It could be very hot during the summer.

Motto bon
What a treasure at the end of the white road and what a view. We were greeted with amazing cake and iced tea. That was just the beginning, Lucia brought us fresh eggs and zucchini from her garden. It almost felt like we were part of the family. The apartment decor was lovely and fitting for the setting. The views here are awesome, overlooking the valley and as you will have a car if staying here, it's a short drive to the wine towns of Montalcino and Montepulciano; and, you can find several local spas, visit, if u wish to drive a bit to Civita di Bagneregio. We would love to visit IL Podderuccio again

A delightful place to enjoy the beautiful Val d'Orcia
We thoroughly enjoyed our two-week stay at this property. Lucia and her family were warm and generous and very helpful. The location is lovely, with enchanting views, and is close to many wonderful small towns and cities that we enjoyed exploring. The apartment is comfortable and well-equipped; guests have total control over the heating, which is not always true in Italian rentals, and may be a big help if you are there in the cooler seasons. Guests can do laundry conveniently in the building next to the apartment. The supermarket in nearby San Quirico d'Orcia is very well-supplied, even for people with special diets - it should have everything you need. Potential guests should know that reaching the property does require a few kilometers' drive on a gravel road, as it is a rural location. Also, it would be helpful if someone in your party speaks at least a little Italian, but I am sure that Lucia would be happy to work with a translation app, or enlist the help of the very kind upstairs neighbor who speaks English, if necessary. We recommend this apartment, and we would be happy to stay here again someday. After many trips when we stayed in Italian cities, this was our first rural experience and our first time with a rental car, and Lucia made it a success for us.

Wunderbar in den Hügeln der Toskana gelegen
Wenn man die Staubpiste über mehrere Kilometer von San Quirico auf sich nimmt erwartet einen ein Agriturismo mit traumhafter Aussicht. Innen ist die Wohnung mit allem nötigen ausgestattet und einigen Kleinigkeiten im Kühlschrank zum Empfang.Aussen eine große Terrasse zum Essen und Relaxen mit toller Aussicht. Der Empfang durch Lucia und Ihre Eltern sind sehr herzlich. Ideal gelegen für Ausflüge in die nähere Umgebung nach Pienza Montalcino Bagno Vignoni Montepulciano mit vielen tollen Fotomotiven sowie für kurze Wanderungen in näherer Umgebung. Ein wunderbares Fleckchen für Naturliebhaber und Landschaftsfotografen.Man muss aber wissen dass man über die Staubpiste 10 Minuten zum Supermarkt und nach San Quirico braucht.

Zimmer mit Ausblick ins Val d’orcia
Auf einer Schotterstraße, am Anfang etwas abenteuerlich zu erreichen. Begrüßt einen die Familie von Lucia, in ihrem bezaubernd Bauernhaus und dem wunderschönen Blick auf das Val d’orcia. Ein Traum jeden Morgen aufzuwachen und auf der Terrasse zu frühstücken. Die Wohnung war mit allem was man braucht ausgestattet und alles tip top sauber! Internet funktioniert super und Lucia und ihre Familie waren sehr gastfreundlich und hilfsbereit. Auch der leckere Wein (Bioqualität) und Olivenöl aus eignen Anbau sind köstlich und tolle Mitbringsel. Der nächste Ort (San Querico) liegt ca. 5km entfernt, von dort aus kann man all die schönen Orte (Montalcino, Pienza, Siena und Montepulciano) der Toskana besuchen. Wir sind verzaubert von diesem schönen Ort und kommen wieder.

Eine wundervolle Zeit
Lucia und ihre Familie sind wundervolle, liebenswerte Gastgeber. Wir fühlten uns sehr willkommen und wurden während des ganzen Aufenthalts herzlich betreut. Das Apartment ist wohnlich eingerichtet und auch für einen längeren Aufenthalt bestens geeignet (komplette Küchenausstattung, genug Schränke, technisch alles einwandfrei). Wir konnten auf der großzügigen Terrasse entspannen, den großen Grill nutzen, Spaziergänge und Wanderungen direkt von der Haustüre aus starten. Die Lage ist herrlich ruhig, in einer interessanten Gegend mit vielen sehenswerten Orten. Grazie mille, Grazie per tutti. Sylvia & Stephan

Schöne Wohnung an herrlicher Lage mit sehr netten Gastgebern
Wir waren eine ganze Woche dort und haben es sehr genossen. Wir kämpften mit einer Hitzewelle, aber oben auf dem Hügel, wo das Haus liegt, gab es immer etwas Wind – die gedeckte Terrasse (mit Aussendusche!) und herrlichem Blick war unser Refugium. Wenn es nicht ganz so heiss ist, kann man auch schöne Spaziergänge in dieser wunderbaren Umgebung machen. Die Wohnung ist bestens ausgerüstet und die Küche so eingerichtet, dass man sogar richtig kochen kann und nichts fehlt. Gastgeberin Lucia und ihre Eltern sind sehr herzliche Menschen, die es einem an nichts fehlen lassen – man findet einen halbvollen Kühlschrank für die ersten Grundbedürfnisse vor und bekommt wenn man will Frühstückseier direkt ab Hof.

Séjour Nature
Pour se rendre chez Lucia,nous avons suivi un chemin de terre. A notre arrivée, devant la jolie maison de pierres, nous avons découvert un somptueux panorama 180° : Des collines couvertes de vignes et d'oliviers dominées par le château de Rocca d'Orcia. La maison est agréable et propre. Lucia nous y a accueilli avec attention et quelques produits " maison." Au réveil, nous avons eu le plaisir d'observé un chevreuil devant la maison... Une adresse à retenir! Marie-Hélène et Joseph

Schöne Ferienwohnung mit wunderbarer Landschaft
Diese Ferienwohnung ist schön und sauber. Sie hat eine tolle Lage. Auf der Terrasse genießt man die herrliche Landschaft. Die Besitzerin Lucia ist sehr hilfsbereit und liebevoll. Auch ihre Mutter ist sehr freundlich und grozügig. Bei Ihnen kann man sehr gute selbstgemachten Olivenöl und Wein kaufen. Wir haben auch echte Bioeieier und -tomaten für günstigen Preis bekommen. Die Gastgeberin hat uns frische Feige geschenkt. Zum ersten Mal haben wir so gute Feige dierekt vom Baum gegessen. Nur die ca. 5 Kilometer lange Straße von der nähsten Stadt dorthin ist steinig und etwas schwer zu fahren. Vielleicht ist es gerade deswegen dort ruhig und kaum Tourist zu sehen. Die Luft ist sehr frisch. Am Morgen und Abend sieht man ab und zu Reh u d Wildschwein. Sonst ist der energievolle schwarze Kater ein treuer Begleiter da. Wir haben einen unvergesslichen Urlaub gemacht. Es ist sehr empfehlenswert.

Die holprig staubige Zufahrt wird mit einem kleinen Paradies belohnt👍
Sehr abgelegene, romantische Wohnung mit Kontaktmöglichkeiten zu dem Bauernehepaar, das auf ganz liebevolle Art die Umgebung mit verschiedensten Pflanzen gestaltet hat. Natur vom Feinsten: wir sahen Eichelhäher, Wiedehopfe, Kuckuck, Hasen, Fasanen und Rehwild. Die Pflanzenwelt lässt sich sehen: Schwertlilien, Waldvögelchen, 50 cm hohe Orchideen und vieles Anderes mehr. Idealer Ausgangsort für die Regio val d'Orcia, die Bagni, die alten Städte und die klassische Landschaft der südlichen Toscana. Wanderungen sind vom Haus aus möglich und vielfältig. Dennoch Auto empfehlenswert, wenn auch die 5 km "staubige Holperpiste" alle strapazierte. Einziger Negativpunkt: Bett und Madratze zu hart. Insgesamt für Indivualisten und Naturliebhaber sehr empfehlenswert! Bester Monat: Mai
