Lovely home in beautiful setting,.
We stayed in the downstairs apartment, which was spacious, comfortable and thoughtfully decorated with some lovely antiques. The surrounding grounds, olive orchard and view are also beautiful. We had lots of rain, and especially enjoyed the covered patio—which allowed us to be outdoors and enjoy the view without getting wet! I like to cook while traveling, and appreciated the spacious kitchen with plenty of pots, pans and serving platters. The location is also great for getting to walks through the countryside and exploring nearby towns and villages. And don’t give short shrift to the local village by the house. While we enjoyed Pienza, Montalcino and Montepulciano, they are very touristy. The village by the house is the opposite—no souvenir shops, restaurants, etc. Nevertheless, their is a great walk (with numbered plaques providing interesting historical notes) up the hill to La Rocca with unparalleled view of the Val d’Orcia. (For groceries we recommend San Quirico d’Orcia rather than the supermarket in Abbadia San Salvatore. We found a great butcher and cheese shop, bakery and produce market all within a few feet of each other.) We do note that during our 2-months of traveling in Italy, this was the only home we rented that (despite comparable prices) does not include ample linens and towels for the duration of the rental. Rather, they supply one set of sheets and one set of towels per person. Anything additional is an extra charge. Similarly, this was the only rental that charged for use of the washing machine. And while these charges were noted in the house rules, we were not informed until the day of our arrival that (also unlike every other home we rented) they only provide one role of toilet paper in each bathroom, a small amount of dish soap and a few dishwasher soap tabs. We were told that this was to assist until we could go shopping. The difficulty with this approach is that it requires renters to buy far more than they will need—as things like toilet paper, dish soap and paper towels aren’t sold in small enough quantities to just cover a two-week stay. But, all-in-all, it is a lovely home in a beautiful location.

Le Rogheta
We loved everything about our two-week stay at Le Rogheta. Our hosts Letitia and Giorgio could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Our apartment was spacious, well-equipped, and tastefully decorated, with stunning views of the Val d'Orcia. Extremely knowledgeable about the region's history, geography, and cuisine, Letitia and Giorgio, helped us discover the ancient, out of the way villages and towns that make this part of Italy so appealing to visitors.

As soon as we saw them, Bill and Mary inspired us with an instinctive sympathy. Friendly, cordial, immediately smiling! Curious to understand and learn about our area, they have traveled different routes every day, always leaving a little space to enjoy the scenery and enjoy a glass of wine. America is far away, but we would like to see them again!

Wet but wonderful stay
Fabulous location! Stunning scenery and easy access to many of Tuscany's fabulous sites. Hosts were amazing, friendly, helpful but gave us space and privacy. Only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is the house had a mild musty or damp smell. We were very unlucky with the weather and it was very wet so this is probably why and not normal for the summer season. So definitely don't let that put you off! We would thoroughly recommend this property for a stay in Tuscany!! Thank you to our hosts, much appreciated.

We are sorry that the girls have smelled a little musty in the house. No one has ever highlighted this problem in so many years and probably, as they also say, this was linked to the continuous rains of May. We are however happy that the two friends have enjoyed the house, the landscape and our area. They too are polite, friendly and appreciable

The hosts, the view, the wine, the home were spectacular.
We took a train to Chiui, rented a car, drove to Rogheta and were greeted by Letizia. The home was very clean and does have Wi-Fi. It is central to many wineries and beautiful hill towns, everything we were expecting of a visit to Tuscany.

Eine paradiesisches Anwesen mit herzensguten Vermietern
Inmitten der Natur findet sich dieses hervorragend gepflegte Haus mit 2 Ferienwohnungen, die schöner nicht sein könnten. Ein phantastischer Garten mit dem Blick über das Vale d' Orcia ist ein Traum und man kann ungehemmt von Zäunen einfach vom hauseigenen Olivenhain loswandern. Allerdings sind Wanderschuhe angebracht und die 600 m lange Zufahrt ist unbefestigt und teils recht steil. Wenn man die Umgebung noch nicht kennt, kann man hier beqem eine Woche verbringen, um alle interessanten Orte in Ruhe anzusehen. Wir haben uns 12 Tage sehr wohl gefühlt und auch oft im Garten entspannt. Die Vermieter sind äußerst freundlich und sprechen auf Nachfrage auch gerne Empfehlungen aus.

Heike and Frank are very desirable guests: polite, friendly and measured, lovers of peace and nature. They also enjoyed the surrounding villages very much. Despite having a dog, they left the house clean and in good condition. We would love to have them with us again.

Entspannung und Genuss
Ein sehr gemütlicher Ort mit herrlichem, atemberaubendem Blick auf Val d`Orcia. Die Wohnung hat alles was Sie brauchen und ist im typisch toskanischen Stil eingerichtet. Letizia und Giorgio sind sehr nette Menschen und trotz unserer kurzen Bekanntschaft verabschiedeten wir uns von ihnen wie Freunde, die wir schon lange kennen und zu denen wir mehr als einmal zurückkehren möchten.

Erholsamer Urlaub mit einer prima Unterkunft
Wir hatten die Unterkunft im Erdgeschoss. Die Wohnung hat eine traumhafte Aussicht. Alles was man benötigte war vorhanden. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett, leider sprechen Sie kein Englisch. Aber es ging auch so. Die Wohnung ist trotz 33 Grad auch ohne Klimaanlage sehr kühl, so dass die obligatorische dünne Decke hier eigentlich nicht ausreicht. Von der Straße aus führt eine eine ca. 600m lange nicht asphaltierte Straße zum Haus. In der direkten Umgebung wird man nicht fündig hinsichtlich Supermarkt und Restaurants. Dafür hat man seine Ruhe. Die Wassertemperatur in der Dusche ist leider träge und schwer regulierbar, aber vermutlich der Lage geschuldet. Wir können die Unterkunft weiterempfehlen.

Como en casa.
Es una casa muy cómoda y agradable en mitad de la campiña y próximo al pueblo, donde poder hacer la compra. En mitad de la Toscana, ideal para realizar desde allí excursiones. Los anfitriones perfectos, están cuando les necesitan, te asesoran en cuanto a visitas, encantadores. Esperamos volver

Estuvimos muy contentos de conocer a Sofía y su familia. Son educados y curiosos de saber. Han existido mucho para ver los lugares más interesantes de la zona y parecen haberlos apreciado. Los recordamos con simpatía y esperamos volver a verlos.

Centraal gelegen met betoverende vergezichten
We danken Leatizia en George voor hun gastvrijheid. We hebben ons echt welkom gevoeld door deze hartelijke mensen. De woning is ruim, compleet en smaakvol ingericht. De tuin en het uitzicht zijn ongeëvenaard. Het landgoed ligt centraal t.o.v. een aantal middeleeuwse dorpen en kleine steden. Veel is binnen een half uur rijden te bereiken met de auto. We hebben genoten en bevelen de Rogheta aan voor de liefhebbers van Italiaanse cultuur en natuur. Carole en Jeroen, Voorjaar 2019

Wunderschöne Wohnung
Wir konnten einen Traumurlaub in der Toskana genießen. Die Wohnung ist wunderschön rustikal eingerichtet, sehr ruhig und Anfang November ist der offene Kamin ein Traum 👍👍

Abbiamo subito capito che Peter e la sua famiglia sono persone dinamiche e desiderose di conoscere. Subito hanno dimostrato di apprezzare le cose belle dei paesaggi e dei centri d'arte ma anche quelle più intime della campagna, come ad esempio il calore fisico e psicologico della fiamma del caminetto o il gusto rotondo di un buon bicchiere di vino rosso!
