How many people can say they’ve stayed in a 15th-century convent? You can if you book Relais Chiostro di Pienza, a charming hotel set right in the heart of Pienza.

Wonderful old convent right in the centre of the village
Magical atmosphere and view from the terrace
Although the restaurant runs independently of the accommodation the food wine and service was excellent
Highly recommend eating at the I. House restaurant and enjoying the view from the terrace

From the minute we walked in, we felt so welcome! Lovely friendly reception staff. Our room was amazing, the bed was super comfortable and plenty of space around to store luggage, clothes etc. Bathroom was huge with plenty of soft, fluffy towels and everything worked well. There is a fridge but no kettle in the room, but the staff were more than happy to give us hot water if we wanted to make our own tea or coffee. Breakfast was included and had a good selection of pastries, eggs, bread, fruit, yoghurt as well as tea and coffee.
Location was good, we found it was an easy walk up through the bush track into the old town and we even hiked down to the famous Gladiator shooting spot (not an easy hike though so be prepared). Parking available near reception.
The gardens and pool area are beautiful and well maintained with plenty of chairs to relax on.
Thank you so much for making our stay such an enjoyable one, we loved Pienza and A440

Pienza is a beautiful village, the Val d'Orcia is breathtaking. We were welcomed by Paola, who is a magnificent ambassador for the property, she really made us feel incredibly welcome. The restaurant was also excellent, we had a fantastic dinner. We came off season, (March) which added to the tranquility. I think you would come here to enjoy a quiet, peaceful retreat, and it is a nice base to explore the Tuscan wine region.

We expected much more from the stay in this hotel. The surrounding looks very luxury, like the gallery of art . But this is only that.

Wonderful little town, not so crowded but much nicer than other hyped destinations like Siena or San Gimignano. Lot's of plants on the street,, endless restaurants, that's exactly what we like. Also e-Bike Tuscany by Steffi is recommended to try. Scenery is unbelievely amazing.

Pienza is small but has an excellent selection for dining. Sight seeing in town is somewhat limited but affords terrific views over Val d'Orcia. If you like Pecorino cheese, you have to visit the shops in Pienza. Quick bite, try Pizzeria Pummaro near gate into old center. For charm and quality meal try Pane Vino & Zucchero. For all round the Trattoria la Buca Delle Fate is good. For a good hike outside of town, don't stop at the spot where they shot the Gladiator scene, keep going.

Pienza has one main street which means it can feel crowded when a relatively small number of people visit. There is limited free parking which is also used by residents.
There are a variety of small shops which mostly sell typical regional products. There is an abundance of Pecorino and hams. It is possible to buy a range of different quality of jewelry. There are also a few clothes shops.
There is a beautiful panoramic walk on the entrance from the North.
The town is blessed with a variety of restaurants and bars which are mostly tradition Tuscan food. There are also at least two ice cream shops.
The market takes place on Friday. In October there are a number of events such as the chocolate festival which means it gets very crowded on the weekend. There are limited public services such as clean bathrooms.
I limited the amount of time that I visited the town during my week long stay mainly due to access to parking. You have to pay 24/7 which is a problem for evening meal when travelling alone in the dark at a parking meter.

We utilised Pienza as a base from which to explore various towns within the Val D'Orcia, a world heritage area. We could have stayed longer to visit more towns and explore mountain biking trails. Pienza in itself is clean, beautifully restored, has chic dining spots and it was a privilege to have visited.

Pienza is now one of our favourite destinations in Tuscany.
Pienza is now one of our favourite destinations in Tuscany. We have visited San Gimignano, Siena, Monteriggioni. Montepulcino whilst travelling by car and have found Pienza to be so pretty and enjoyable to be in. Parking was easy to navigate and the laneways of Pienza were quiet and so charming. The walkway/lookout side of the town provided vistas that you would hope for. Pienza is also quite close to those classic Tuscan scenes/photos that you may have seen previously.
The three days we stayed at Palazzo Massaini-Le Scuderie brought us a pleasant and perfect experience in Tuscany. The hotel is located on a hill with a view of Pienza and the Tuscan countryside. The hotel itself is a landscape, and passing cars will stop to take pictures. The three windows of the room look out to the beautiful scenery of Tuscany and the hotel garden! The room facilities are perfect, the breakfast is rich, and free capsule coffee is provided in the room living room. Perfect experience, we will come back again!
Alice and Simon were so helpful with everything. Although the apartment is on three floors, we didn't have trouble navigating the stairs and Simon helped us with the luggage. The property is right in the heart of Pienza and it's a delightful village. You can see the church tower from the bedroom window. (The bells do toll several times a day but I loved it.)
We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay while visiting Tuscany.
Andrea , the host, goes above and beyond. He greets you outside the apartment, has lots of maps and suggestions for touring the region. The apartment it super clean and cozy with extra attention to detail. Best of all,he leaves the fridge with breakfast essentials and warm croissant waiting for you in the morning at your door. Thank you Andrea for a piece of home during our stay in italy!
Beautiful Tuscan style house, large room with kitchen and big bathroom, very tastefully decorated with beautiful little touches.
The perfect place to stay in Tuscany, convenient location, close to Pienza, Montalcino, Montepulciano and Bagno Vignoni. The owner gave us a lot of information. The views from this place are magical!
Anna's house is really great. Every part of the house is beautifully decorated. It is located in the beautiful pastoral scenery of Tuscany, only 6 minutes' drive from beautiful Pienza. Anna is very warm and friendly and provides a rich breakfast. There are also cute dogs and cats. I hope to have the opportunity to come again!
Our stay at the townhouse hotel was truly beautiful. We were fortunate to secure the rooftop room, which added to our enjoyment and made it one of the most memorable stays we've had in Pienza. The hotel's prime location allows for easy exploration of the charming streets and offers a breathtaking view of Tuscany's sunset
Comfort and spacy room in historical building with amaizing view to Tuscany valley. Perfect location in the heart of cozy Pienza town. Breakfast in the garden was amaizing. We did not use a pool, but it locate on the sunny part :) btw, building is perfectly addopted to elder travelers or to travallers with need
Luca the owner was very kind and helpful and gave us the best advices for dinner or what to do.
We really enjoyed the stay here. It is a family run hotel and you really feel it. The breakfast was very good and the hotel is located very good in Pienza.
Next time we come, we will certainly stay here again.
Location is superb and views of Pienza are magnificent . We were 3 of us and our triple room was larger than expected with two separated rooms similar to an hotel larger suite . Very comfortable beds and cleanliness. Jessica the owner is very friendly and everything was perfect. .
Beautiful hotel just couple of minutes from all the beautiful views and attractions of Pienza. Great room with a balcony, very comfortable bed, fantastic breakfast and very very helpful concierge and receptionist. Wish I could stay for longer.
Delightful room with lovely outdoor setting in garden. Easy walk to supermarket and Pienza. Great to have bbq to use.Had 2 weeks, perfect for exploring central Tuscany. Friendly, helpful staff.
It was wanderful!! I regret that I cannot cancel my other hotels in Italy otherwise I would love to stay here longer. The view is amazing and the host is very friendly. It’s cozy and beautiful.
Very nice resort, totally worth the money you give. Only 10 minutes from Pienza it's a perfect option for a romantic escape. Deep in the nature of Tuscany with great staff and tasty breakfast
Location was perfect for driving (or walking) into Pienza! Room was huge. Loved bathroom accessories. Wine from their vineyards was a great option! Breakfast was plentiful. Quiet and serene.
Il Mastio was our best accommodations in Italy! Plenty of room. Everything worked, and it was nicer than our home. Breakfasts were lavish. If you want a beautiful rural setting, this is it.
