Tuscan Getaway
This place is absolutely wonderful! Carola's communication and the time she took to make sure we had our wine tasting, our olive oil tasting and just having an overall understanding of the area and what we should see was amazing. I can't recommend this apartment and the hosts enough. Can't wait to come back!

Fabulous home base in San Quirico (Val d’Orcia)
This is a great property in San Quirico, a small town that is perfectly situated for exploring all of the beautiful sights in this area. The apartment was perfect, with all of the amenities we could want. Carola was an amazing host and gave us a detailed guide with her recommendations for day trips and other fun things to do in the area. Highly recommend!

A lovely historic apartment in San Quirico
My wife and I had a lovely 6-day stay in this apartment in the heart of the lovely village of San Quirico d'Orcia. The apartment was comfortable and in a great location. Carola was a wonderful host, providing lots of helpful information before our stay, greeting us and showing us around when we arrived, and providing rapid and complete help during our stay. We could not ask for more. We would happily stay again.

450 years of hospitality
Carola could not have been more welcoming or helpful. The apartment was apparently granted the papal equivalent of a 5 star review back in 1572 and the ethos has stayed. The apartment is lovely, well equipped and perfectly located in one of the most picturesque towns in one of the most picturesque parts of Tuscany. Everywhere you turn there is another picture postcard view. Definitely worth a visit.

Pretty apartment in beautiful setting
Carola’s renovated apartment in the centre of San Quirico is a great base to explore the town and surrounding area. We arrived during a heat wave and Carola proactively supplied an extra fan to supplement the 2 already there. She also provided a helpful tip about a nearby swimming pool where we spent a fun and relaxing afternoon escaping the heat. Parking lot is about 150 meters behind and below the apartment building. Unload and load luggage directly in front of apartment building.

Book It!
We knew we were going to love this place when booked and it did not disappoint. Communication with Carola was so easy & she was super responsive and goes above and beyond to make sure you feel comfortable, safe and secure. Her husband Angelo owns an excellent neighborhood bar, all of her restaurant recommendations were awesome, her knowledge of the area was extremely helpful and we can’t recommend the place and this host more than to say…Book IT! The apartment is in the middle of the most photographed and beautiful area of Toscana. Rent a car and cruise around this area and enjoy the Italian hospitality and countryside. Food and wine and scenery heaven!

Fantastic stay
Historic, clean and beautiful yet practical apartment. Carola herself went above and beyond to help us get settled; we thank her so much!! Gave us instructions for the apt/area, made our dinner reservation the night we arrived. She booked a cooking class for our family in the nearby countryside at the Valdorcia Belvedere B&B (no commission to her). The cooking class and stay at the apt were delightful highlights of our whole trip. Grazie!

Highlight of Tuscany - Just like the pictures
Staying in Tuscany and at this VRBO in San Quirico d'Orcia was the highlight of our three week trip to Italy. The description and pictures of the property were 100% accurate. Very comfortable and well accommodated. Carola, our host, is one of the best VRBO hosts we have encountered in all our travels. I can't say enough nice things about Carola or her property. Parking is a challenge when traveling and always a concern when staying at a 16th century apartment inside an ancient walled city - but not in this case. Parking was close and convenient. We used the San Quirico d'Orcia property as a base for our time in Tuscany. Every direction we travelled was breath taking. Carola helped us with many recommendations (wine tasting, cooking classes, site seeing) and in every case, all proved to be highlights of our trip. Next time we are in Tuscany we will plan our trip to ensure we are able to stay here again.

Great experience in a lovely town
We spent 6 nights in this historic and lovely apartment. Carola did a great job renovating this property, The location was great for exploring the surrounding countryside. We also enjoyed wandering the small town of San Quirico d’Orcia. Very nice people! Communication was excellent. Carola met us at the apartment and was very welcoming. She showed us everything we needed to know and gave us some dining recommendations. She also connected us with Anna who arranged a wonderful wine tasting and cooking class/dinner. Thanks for the memories!

Tuscan adventure
La Scala 1572 was a great 'home base' for our Tuscan adventure. Perfectly located within short walking distance of all of historic San Quirico d'Orcia. Also, great parking nearby. Carola was wonderful and helped us find a perfect wine tasting in Montalcino along with the thermal hot springs bath in nearby Bagno Vignoni. The property is perfectly located between Montalcino and Montepulciano. Also a short drive (less than one hour) to Siena. I can't imagine a better location to have a perfect Tuscan vacation. I only wish we could have stayed longer.

Carola's sympathy is contagious. She was very helpfull in suggesting points of interest in the area. The apartment of the XVIII century has been beautifully restored and is tastefully decorated. It is very well located in the historical center. The room, with private toilet, is spacious. The kitchen is the common area of ​​the apartment equipped with all the necessary utensils, as well as the elementary goods, but unfortunately rare to find - tea, coffee, olive oil, sugar, salt, etc. We had a very pleasant staying.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to create a place of relax , enjoying the beautiful nature and meeting other travelers as it has been in ancient guest-houses, belonging to the pilgrim-organization 'La Scala' from Siena. Our apartment has already hosted travelers in 1572 - a witness to this is the ancient coat of arms in the kitchen of the apartment.

What makes this property unique

Beautifully renovated apartment by artisans of Orcia Valley , keeping the original spirit of the place from the 15th century - to give travelers of today's comfort and relaxation from the modern life.
