Relais Val d'Orcia

If you are looking for a converted tuscan farm Villa haphazardly done as someone’s “personal project” this is not it. What this is is a state of the art small boutique hotel/villa designed (architect-owner) and manage by the owner-couple. The main building is at the top of a small Tuscan hill surrounded by crop fields. It is modeled after a classic Tuscan villa with the exterior walls covered with repurposed field stones. Everything else is modern premium commercial grade materials including remote controlled iron gates to access the property and also a second gate to access the underground cement parking lot, outdoor patio with long chairs and simili-stone in ground swimming pool. Inside the finishings are high end and tastefully executed including a cor-ten modern steel stair case, cut stone and stained wood flooring. There is even a small glass and chrome elevator to take your luggage up from the underground parking to the upper living floor. We booked the corner deluxe room which had views of the tuscan country side in two directions. The room was very spacious and designed with the comforts of a fine boutique hotel. This included: high ceilings with exposed wood beams (I’m going to guess more than 15 feet high), wide plank stained hard wood flooring, wall mounted smart TV, electronic thermostat, numerous USB charging plugs, 20 power outlets no less (including one that remains powered even if you remove your room card - for charging
