Relais Il Chiostro Di Pienza

The breakfast buffet was very nice with most anything one expects normally at breakfast-eggs, delicious pastries, waffles, fresh fruit & more. We had dinner in the restaurant and it was a lovely experience. Unfortunately the wind was strong and we were unable to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful view which is the main reason we made the reservation, but of course they could not help wind and we had a lovely table inside where I could at least look out. Our room had a lovely courtyard view with windows that looked out onto the cobblestone courtyard and our bed was the most comfortable of our entire vacation as it was kingsize and had great support.

We absolutely loved this beautiful and unique property. It was in the tiny hilltop town of Pienza overlooking gorgeous views of Tuscany. The rooms are situated around a courtyard and there is a pool and patio area with lovely views. We had a room with 2 queen bedrooms separated by a central bathroom. They were bigger than expected. We enjoyed dinner at the restaurant located in the property and a wonderful breakfast that was included with our room rate. The town of Pienza is gorgeous. There is a walkway around the perimeter with stunning views. You have to park outside the town and carry your luggage. We packed a small overnight bag so it was easier to carry and we walked from our parking spot. It was a fairly short walk, but someone with mobility issues would not find this an accommodating place to stay. We would love to come back someday!

The staff was excellent and friendly, accommodating last minute requests. The dinner was the best meal of the trip. Pici, a local pasta with pecorino cheese and shaved truffles, and the BEST sautéed spinach of my entire life! (I enjoy a lot of spinach at home and while traveling!) Also, the view from the dining tables was spectacular!

Great location, magnificent view from the terrace when you have breakfast outside. we had a garden view but just can imagine the beauty of the rooms with the hills view.

The Relais il Chiostro Di Pienza is a stunning, old building with charming character and amazing scenery. It is suited to couples but has a family feel too - such friendly staff. Peaceful and behind the scenes - everything runs like clockwork. We have visited since 2013 - we love Pienza and wouldn’t stay anywhere else!
