Borgo Sant'Ambrogio In Trequanda

Drawn in by glowing reviews, we had high hopes for this place — and in some ways, it delivered. The setting is genuinely breathtaking, with spectacular views and plenty of outdoor seating to soak up the natural surroundings. On a sunny day, sitting outside here is hard to beat. Unfortunately, that's where the highlights end for us. The room was disappointingly small, and the double bed consisted of two separate mattresses with no top cover — a simple detail that made for a surprisingly poor night's sleep. We'd recommend clarifying bedding arrangements before booking if you're a light sleeper. The bathroom was, frankly, a shock. For such a charming, atmospheric property, the standard here feels completely out of place. The space is tiny — borderline claustrophobic — and the shower is barely functional. Turning around requires real effort, the fixtures are worn and tired, and the water temperature offers only two settings: scalding or freezing. There's no middle ground. It's also worth noting that the property is not accessible for guests with mobility difficulties, which isn't mentioned clearly enough upfront. The access road is another thing to be prepared for — a roughly 10-minute drive along an unpaved gravel track from the main road. Breakfast was average, nothing to write home about. A beautiful location let down by poor room quality and a bathroom that urgently needs attention. With some investment in the basics, this could be a gem.

A simply wonderful place nestled in the Tuscan countryside, easily reached by following the signs on a well-traveled dirt road. The staff were extremely friendly and the service was top-notch. I hope to return in the future. Thank you so much.

Interesting exterior and roomy suites with tiny shower stalls. Note check-in time ends at 7:30 pm. Great bedding - supportive mattress. Lovely views of the Tuscan countryside. A 15-minute drive from Pienza. Breakfast had good-tasting cured meats, pastries, whole fruits, yogurts, cereal, and both normal and decaffeinated espresso; but not a large selection. Our room had a very smoky or incense smell and unstable Wi-Fi. Our room had four USB-A and four USB-C (PD) charging ports. There are two Porsche Destination Chargers in the parking lot; during our one night, all guests used either taxi or internal-combustion engine cars. Parking seemed to be constrained - there is an overflow lot down the hill from the main building. We didn't use the infinity pool, but it looked nice.

I’m writing this right before checkout. What a wonderful stay we had here and I’m so sad to leave… Not only the location and view was amazing, the staff also made us feel at home! We truly felt welcomed here, as we were not just taken care of by the staff but by families. Beds were thoughtfully made by my mama, meals were cooked by my grandma, and front desk was like a sister. Our two boys were doted upon everywhere they went. The older gentleman was a bit grumpy at check in, kind of like a grumpy grandpa, but with everything else, it didn’t bother us much. We stayed in their family suite, which was so beautiful and cozy. The beds are so comfy and every detail was perfect. I will miss watching Val d’Orcia waking up every morning and the sunset in the evenings. Looking forward to coming back next time!
