Agriturismo Zampugna

location, nice owner

nothing

The views were spectacular! Was a great place to take walks. The accommodation was very spacious, bathroom was large, and bedroom & kitchen & living room as well and clean; 2 stories with bedroom & bath upstairs with spectacular views and kitchen & living room downstairs. Patio to sit on. Kitchen was stocked with cooking supplies. Washer available for use (not dryer) and clothes racks for drying. There are lots of trees on the property; olive, pomegranate, and another one with red fuzzy berries, so pretty!

The bed situation was 2 twin bed pushed together and the mattresses were very hard. Not ideal. The shower was extremely small, leaked out onto floor and there were no shelves to place shampoo, soap, etc. Unfortunately, we were looking for a quiet stay, but the surrounding fields were being plowed for 2 days, which was noisy and not ideal for peace & quiet. That was just bad timing.

location outstanding, but several miles from nearest shop / restaurants swimming pool excellent but not heated large bedroom, sitting room/kitchen/dining area

Old , shabby furniture ,stains on duvet oven not cleaned properly No microwave as advertised no coffee machine as advertised ( just a coffee pot ) no in room washing machine as advertised ( a communal one -not very clean ,in a grubby outhouse, along with ironing board and iron ) had to ask for wine glasses and corkscrew ! stayed for 7 days, no offer of bedding or towel changes, or any cleaning etc

This place was magical! I loved every corner of the property, the view where you could see small towns like Pienza. Absolutely wish to come back. Quiet and calm place to stay and think only about Italien food, wine and reading a book. Riccardo was helpful and nice guy. Everything was clean and for an invite we got basket full of local food. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

So this place is situated in a stunning countryside setting with rolling Tuscan hills and a gorgeous pool with fabulous views of the surrounding farmland. The pool was still just about warm enough to swim in by the end of September. Its well located for visiting Montepulciano, Pienza and other surrounding villages. The host, Riccardo was charming and super helpful and told us some good places to visit and eat and even sorted out fixing the wifi on a Sunday ( a storm hit just before we arrived). Our room was a very cute self contained unit where we could park right outside and had a private seating area that was sunny for eating breakfast outside. There was a welcome pack with a few basics for us which was thoughtful. We stayed 3 nights and had a lovely long walk along the gravel road towards the neighbouring farms one evening.

Our bedroom was a good size and it was nice to have basic cooking facilities and although we love rustic the decor was a little dated compared to other places we stayed, despite being the most expensive. It would have been nice to have an information pack of local places etc and how the recycling worked. Be aware the approach road is gravel track for 2 km and is well maintained but we took it very slowly in our sports car and you need to drive to get to any restaurants.

Everything. So so nice!
