I was made to feel at home straight away, actually better than home! My house is not as lovely as this. My room had a four poster bed, sunken bath with a patio looking out to gently rolling green hills and farmhouses. It is hard to believe such beauty exists on earth, heavenly. I helped the lovely chef Dario make... More

This is a beautiful place of the world and despite terrible weather the gorgeous position of the house in this area is undeniable. However, having spent 2 days here we left underwhelmed and feeling pretty ripped off. I could not agree more with one of the previous reviewers - the imagery on the site suggests that the rooms are high... More

Our family of four, including two girls aged 4 and 6, stayed at La Bandita for three nights in May. The staff is fantastic, the food is wonderful, the setting is spectacular, and the rooms are very comfortable. We especially fell in love with Dario the chef, who took such wonderful care of us. Each night he cooked a special... More

This ia an idyllic place to stay: the location, the views, the swimming pool, and the main house itself are great …But what truly makes a stay at La Bandita such a fabulous experience are the local staff who make you feel at home the moment you walk in. Elena, Paola, Simone, Dario could not have been more gentili, hospitable... More

This refurbished farm house has 6 rooms in tha main building and an independant little house. The location is amazing on the top of hill with a 360 degrees view over the hills of Val d'Orcia hills, 20 min from Pienza, a beautiful village . The only problem is the bad road to getthere, there are two roads, a long... More

Set atop a steep hill overlooking the impossibly beautiful Val d'Orcia, La Bandita mixes the charm of a rural farmhouse with the luxury of a high-end boutique. The twenty-minute drive up a winding, cedar-lined path is transportive--you’ll more than once think you are lost, but by the time you reach the circle drive and glance back over the valley, you’ll...

I'm one of those terrible TripAdvisor users - savor and treasure all the advice and reviews, and then rarely if ever make time to post my own reviews, though I know better. That, and I almost don't want everyone else to know about this amazing place, god forbid I can't come back and get my room back. But I had... More

I was at La Bandita after Christmas and left the first day of 2013. My wife and two kids had a wonderful time. The scenery is of a dreamlike quality and the stay was pleasant due to the excellent cares of Simone Elena David and the kind polish lady who's name I don't remember, I'm sorry! Too much Vino Nobile... More

A friend and I scheduled a girls trip to Italy, right after Thanksgiving. La Bandita was a recommendation from a friend who had visited the previous year. We loved our stay here. Everyone was extremely helpful and friendly, from pre-arrival planning to activity planning once we arrived, to recommending other hotels for the first leg of our trip. Near the... More
