Why I LOVE It
I have a very personal connection to this part of Tuscany
Having grown up near Pienza, and very close to La Saracina, I know how rare it is to find a place that truly reflects the soul of the Val d’Orcia.
La Saracina does this effortlessly. It is intimate, genuine, and beautifully balanced. The design is elegant yet comfortable, the atmosphere calm and welcoming, and every detail feels thoughtfully considered without ever being overdone.
What I love most is the feeling you get when you are there. It is not just a place to stay, but a place to slow down, reconnect, and experience Tuscany in a way that feels real and personal. La Saracina is gracefully managed by Simonetta and her husband, whose presence brings authenticity, warmth, and a genuine sense of care to every stay.
