We had the best stay at Il Giglio while in Pienza! The room was quaint and cozy! Breakfast was offered daily in the room, and there was espresso! Roberta was amazing! She was very helpful during check-in, but otherwise left you alone! The location is unmatched, very close to everything! Highly recommend if you’re staying in Pienza!

In the center of the wonderful Pienza, the rooms are tastefully furnished and equipped with everything necessary, actually even more! Everything needed for a nice breakfast is available in the room. The only downside is that you can hear voices and noises from the upper rooms.

pasquale

Exceptional location for visiting the Val D'Orcia. The couple's spa is fantastic (small but very beautiful and efficient). Impeccable cleanliness. I recommend to the manager: changing the method for breakfast would require a specially made small table and at least the addition of fresh bread and a croissant.

We stayed on the top floor in the room with the terrace. As our last stop in our trip across Tuscany, it was by far our absolute FAVORITE!!!! We cannot wait to go back.

The apartment is very nice and well kept, the cleaning is excellent, the beds are comfortable, and the location is central in the village. I found the breakfast in the room very simple, the table was not very spacious since we are a family of 4. The owner is very kind, I highly recommend it, I would come back!

The structure is welcoming and ideal for a romantic weekend. Well-kept two-room apartment. Very helpful priority and nice spa. We stayed in January and unfortunately it was cold, but the house warmed up after a while.

A truly magical place: inside the walls of Pienza, two minutes from Palazzo Piccolomini, with a spectacular view of the rooftops and the sunset. Room number five is a real gem: exposed beams, windows and little windows, a small balcony with views and a bathroom that rivaled a spa. The owner was helpful and ready to meet every request for breakfast, additional coffee pods, and spa hours. In short, a highly recommended spot to enjoy Pienza and the Val d'Orcia.

Pienza is a beautiful village. Roberta was available and very kind. We stayed in the loft, which was beautiful, welcoming, and taken care of in every detail. The view from the little terrace is wonderful. The location is great, and there are even free parking spaces just a few minutes away.

Excellent structure in a perfect location. The spa is delightful just like Roberta, who welcomed us. For the first time, I saw a hairdryer and a straightener available for guests in the bathroom. Highly recommended.

Premise is necessary. My review aims to be constructive and I do not want to denigrate anyone's work. The breakfast, while appreciating the possibility of preparing something in the room, I would have liked a small buffet of local products. The website clearly states that pets are not allowed, but in the room next to ours there was a dog. It did not bother us, but if we could have brought the dog we would have done so as well. Then we had a problem, unforeseen, I hope, with the bathtub that we tried to fill, but after only 10 cm of water level it started leaking. We deliberately did not call anyone because it was evening, but at check-out there was no one even to say goodbye.

Nice B&B with a very clean bathroom, in the heart of Pienza and with free parking within walking distance. The breakfast is very basic, too similar every day and could benefit from variations with, for example, some cheese, ham, eggs, or roasted toast.

mattia

The structure is a historic palace renovated in the center of Pienza. Very cozy room with a bathroom. View from the window of the roof of the adjacent structure (in our standard double room). Absence of parking and no agreement with the structure. Only paid parking lots at least 200 m away.

stayed from 05/18/2024 to 05/20/2024

natalia

Located in a central position, very nice and clean, the owner is very helpful and generous with advice. The house is located in the historic center of Pienza so there are some restrictions, which can be overcome, given the particularity of the structure: you can only arrive on foot and few parking spaces nearby. The structure does not have, of course, the elevator and it can be difficult to climb the floors with heavy luggage. Breakfast served in the room at the time chosen by the customer is an excellent solution, also in the room there is everything needed to prepare a coffee or a tea. Unfortunately, we cannot evaluate the spa, as it was under maintenance, but we hope next time to be able to review it.

Abbiamo pernottato in coppia tra Natale e Capodanno. La posizione è bellissima, in centro a Pienza, ma occorre lasciare la macchina fuori dal centro e poi farsi 400mt con i bagagli; non è possibile nemmeno lo scarico davanti al portone. Nel nostro caso, inoltre, si è trattato di due piani senza ascensore. La camera era pulita e "classica". Tuttavia, la colazione è stata davvero misera: due croissant industriali decongelati e due fette biscottate con Nutella e marmellata Santa Rosa. Non c'era niente di salato. Inoltre, il tutto doveva essere consumato in camera su un micro tavolino/scrivania, dato che manca la sala colazioni. In conclusione, 123€ per un pernottamento sembrano troppi.

If you like characteristic places, with a lot of history, excellent hospitality, and top-level services, choose this property. We stayed in the panoramic loft, surrounded by the roofs of the village, overlooking the hills and the sunset in front. A magical location. The room is spacious, equipped, warm, welcoming, and clean. The bathroom has a huge shower and a large whirlpool tub. It is romantic and very functional at the same time, provided with every comfort. The bed is the most comfortable I have ever rested in, apart from my own at home. The owner is a discreet and very kind presence. I recommend to all those who want to have an unforgettable experience in Val d'Orcia to stay here.

We really appreciated the availability of the owner Roberta for the check-in time and for the excellent breakfast served in the room at the agreed time. The room was located on the top floor in an attic part of the structure, very nice and equipped with everything needed. The bed was very comfortable and the sheets very soft.

Very rich breakfast, served directly in the room.

maurizio

Roberta very friendly, very clean and functional room. The only downside (overall still negligible) was the breakfast: it's great that it's brought to the room, but the products are rather industrial (from juice to yogurt, to little jams that you don't understand where they should be spread, with no bread or rusks, butter). In a "bed & breakfast", breakfast often plays a leading role, not in this case. However, the other positive elements certainly overshadow this small downside: our room (with a spectacular attached bathroom) was equipped with every comfort, tastefully furnished, very welcoming. I would definitely return to the property, thanks to Roberta for her availability!

Family-run structure well managed. Attention to every detail, welcoming from the lobby to the room. Breakfast served in the room by arrangement with the owner. I highly recommend it for the excellent location (you park the car and comfortably walk around Pienza), excellent quality, services / price ratio. And the cherry on top: a small spa in the cave under the foundations of the structure.

I stayed at this B&B for 2 nights with my boyfriend and we had a great time. The apartment we booked is very cute, very clean, and equipped with everything we needed. It's new, you can see it, very well furnished and attention to detail, the mattress very comfortable. The croissants for breakfast are really good. As soon as we arrived, we found water, milk, and juice for breakfast in the fridge. The spa cave is beautiful and very relaxing, really worth it. Roberta is very kind and really helpful to meet any kind of request. I recommend it and we will definitely return. Pienza is a really nice village.

Great B&B in the center of Pienza. Excellent cleanliness, tastefully decorated rooms, attention to detail and to the customer, reception equipped with everything for a herbal tea at all hours. Not suitable for those who cannot climb many stairs, I believe, however, that it also has an apartment on the ground floor. Please inquire for confirmation.
