Loved this hotel - great location. Really quiet despite such a central location. Yes rooms are not super modern but they reflect the history of the building. Great pool and breakfast on the terrace.

This property was a 15 century convent which has been converted into a hotel in the midst of a UNESCO world heritage site. The views at the rear of the hotel are breathtaking. A magical place.

Great Town, not so great hotel

The hotel it's ok It's a former Franciscan Convent dating back to 13th century! Depending of the room.it will be room size. The best views you will get from the outside terrace where breakfast it's served Amazing views of Toscana The hotel it's located right in the middle of the town Pienza right next to the church One big problem, it's LOADING AND UNLOADING luggage specially if you have a lot of heavy luggage Being INSIDE the medieval town cars are NOT allowed in front of the hotel You must park on streets outside the town wall That it's about 6 to7minutes walk, uphill, thru pavers streets that could destroy your luggage wheels Also on that street you are only allow to park for 30 minutes It was a problem for us first finding a parking spot on that street (they were all taken) and then had to unload walk to the hotel with the luggage, and then back to the car within the 30 minutes The hotel DOES NOT HAVE PARKING so if you are traveling with a car this could be a problem We had to park in a public PAID PARKING about 30 minute walk from the hotel No one from the hotel helped us to unload, or load our luggage at check in/checkout On another note and you may laugh about this if you are SENSITIVE do NOT stay here My wife and a friend COULD NOT sleep all night long The place felt being "Hunted" Remember this was an OLD CONVENT MONASTERY FROM 13 CENTURY A lot of thing happened here and a lot of people died here If you like "hunted like" experiences this is the place for you

Beautiful hotel in a beautifully preserved town centre. Bags of atmosphere and history and generous service and breakfasts. The hotel is in the pedestrianised old town so vehicle access and parking is not catered for. The upside however is its central location and access to local amenities on foot or by bike. We had a wonderful stay here.

One night stay during a stopover in Pienza (cool town!). Unfortunately this hotel didn't have functional air conditioning as advertised. Supposedly it had been turned off for the season despite Italy having near record daytime highs for this time of year. The staff did attempt to help by reactivating the in room AC units on our floor but it was completely ineffective. I believe it was 'functional' in the sense that the in room unit had power but it cooled the room 0%. We had 2 rooms and they acted the same way. We were given a fan and slept with the windows open but just couldn't get enough airflow intol the room despite the outside temperature being very pleasant sweatshirt weather. I know this can be the case in Europe, but as an American who seeks out places that advertise AC, this was a big letdown. I will say the breakfast and hotel location/views are excellent.

This property was in a perfect location if you would like to visit Pienza. The restaurant on site - whilst not affiliated with the hotel sits right above the pool so found it a bit awkward leaving the pool and walking through people dining. Their drinks were also so expensive and not worth it - so avoid ordering off them if you are not wanting to spend a lot of money. Otherwise the hotel staff were pleasant and the breakfast was incredible!

We booked nine months earlier but were given probably the worst rooms. Ours was right next to a restuarant bar which was noisy until midnight and the rooms above were noisy. The double glazing was totally inaffective at blocking sound. Our daughter's room was on the far side of the hotel and couldn't receive wifi or phone reception and the staff simply said the walls were too thick. Would never stay there again.

Iconic

Iconic hotel in fantastic setting right in the centre of Pienza. We upgraded our room to a suite at a not unreasonable price as the standard room was bleak. It is a very old historic building so there are going to be not ideal rooms. We accept the drawbacks of the old building but it is tired and would benefit from a comprehensive sensitive refurbishment scheme. Terrace restaurant stunning and food good but somewhat overpriced. Overall a unique place to stay
