Hello my name is Guido Bonifazi
My mother Maria Gabriella was Tuscan of adoption.
He fell in love with this land forty years ago. It was love at first sight and how can you not fall in love with these wonderful places full of art and surrounded by breathtaking nature (and for the good food).
This beautiful house used as a B&B that I manage with the invaluable help of my aunt Simonetta I was left by my mother that I also inherited good manners care of furnishing and above all welcoming guests to whom she cared a lot.
Our facility has always been open to guests that we take care of the smallest detail.
Do not hesitate to ask us about these places and assistance for food and wine destinations also.

Area city center
Monticchiello, already in Etruscan and Roman times it was the meeting place of roads linking towns and communities in the area. Still retains the features of the austere medieval fortresses, decidedly opposing the picture to us by Renaissance Pienza. The sturdy walls and tower of the keep which stands on the hill are the signs of the intense past of the village, a bastion of the defense system of the Republic of Siena. It 'just with the passage under the protection of Siena that begins the story of Montichiello of which, in reality, we have news that dates back to long before the city, as evidenced by the fact that his name is done go back to the gens Roman Clelia. Since 1200, the village took its present shape with the walls, the keep and the church, and were established institutions of local authorities, all provided for and regulated by statutes in the vernacular. He was then with the fall of the Sienese Republic in 1559 Montichiello that fell under the Medici and increasingly lost the role and the importance that he had. In 1777 it became part of the municipal jurisdiction of Pienza. The church of Saints Leonard and Christopher propositurale still remains a witness to the heyday of the medieval fortress, preserving many of the Sienese school frescoes dating back to the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.
A rare example of cultural autonomy and collective commitment characterizes finally Montichiello and its inhabitants: the " poor theater ". It was born and developed in Montichiello long before the precise date of its inception (1967). The theatrical experience is a component closely linked to the life and history of the community from the past. The shows are a slice of life Borghigiana that offers an in-depth topical drawing inspiration from local history and reinventing the forms, now abandoned, of civilization. It ' a kind of theater - life written by the same characters, that is, from people who Montichiello, playing herself, testifies to its reality presenting itself with its authentic life situations and social issues. Events such as exhibitions and conferences throughout the year accompany theatrical activity that has its peak in the summer (mid-July to mid-August, shows every night except Monday).

Top! Guido and Maria Gabriella are very friendly and welcoming! The accommodation is nice in the center of the village, the view over the fields of Tuscany is very beautiful. The breakfast is delicious with homemade sweets, Tuscan hams and cheeses. The owners are very helpful for anything (advice on what to visit around, restaurants...). We had a great time, highly recommended.

The structure is wonderful, well-kept in every area, even in the common spaces. Our room was splendid and spacious. Impeccable cleanliness and great attention to detail. Very well-kept garden with a splendid view over the valley and Pienza. The managers, very kind and with a great knowledge of the area, gave us very useful advice on what to visit in the surroundings.

With guilty delay, I write this review but still with the magical place that hosted us for a weekend in my eyes and heart. Affittacamere Maria Gabriella is a magical place, immersed in nature (the sunset over the valley was one of the most beautiful I have ever seen) and a few km from all the beauty to see in Val D'Orcia; Guido and Simonetta are two perfect hosts, present with excellent advice and never intrusive. We hope to come back to enjoy even more the beautiful garden of the b&b, thank you very much for this wonderful holiday.

We were greeted with a smile by the owner Guido, a very kind and attentive young man, he was always ready to help with anything we needed, and then the excellent abundant breakfasts with homemade cakes by the aunt, truly delicious. Impossible to find negative aspects. Highly recommended, we can't wait to go back.

Great bed and breakfast run by aunt and nephew and after a while they become your aunt and cousin. Strategic point to visit the Val d'Orcia, to admire beautiful sunsets over Pienza and have several restaurants 150 meters away from the property which, with all the wines circulating in Val d'Orcia, is not trivial. Very satisfied.

The town is a bit far away, but the village of Monticchiello is a gem worth visiting. Friendly and pleasant hosts, always available to provide information on events and restaurants in the area. Definitely recommended.

La struttura è molto bella in posizione strategica per visitare la Val d'Orcia. Mio marito ed io abbiamo alloggiato alla dependance "La Lanciotta" che si trova all'interno delle mura del borgo e a 150 metri dalla casa principale dove facevamo colazione. Abbiamo accolto con grande entusiasmo sia la posizione della dependance, che si trova in zona molto tranquilla e comoda alle varie necessità, sia la cura nei dettagli dell'arredamento. Guido e la zia Simonetta sono delle persone splendide, cordiali, accoglienti e molto disponibili.
Ci auguriamo di ritornarci presto e di soggiornare ancora a "La Lanciotta".

Cercavo un luogo per dormire che fosse nei pressi di Bagno Vignoni. Non potevo trovare di meglio! Il B&B Maria Gabriella è un luogo incantato. Uno splendido casale in pietra con un bello e fiorito giardino dal quale si gode la vista della vicina Pienza. Punto strategico per esplorare i dintorni ricchi di storia, di terme e panorami meravigliosi.
Le camere sono pulite ed accoglienti così come i gestori Guido e la zia Simonetta che prepara ottimi dolci per la colazione.
Tutto perfetto. Mio nuovo punto di riferimento in Toscana.
