Leave ReviewQuiet and well located
By Rosemary Richards on 26-Aug-2024We rented the whole property as we like lots of space. Surrounded by vineyards, it was a short drive to bustling Montepulciano and also to excellent non-touristy village restaurants. Excellent base for exploring many lovely Tuscan towns and villages. The house was clean, well equipped and comfortable. Laura is a friendly and most helpful host.
Excellent centre for exploring Umbria and Tuscany
By on 23-May-2013Reviewed 23 May 2013 We stayed in the studio apartment. The standard and quality of the accommodation was excellent and the support and helpfullness from Laura could not have been better. In an hour you can be in Florence, Assisi, Siena, San Gimignano and Orvieto to name a few. The countryside and local villages to the West are delightful. Would definately like to visit again.
Des vacances idéales!
By on 19-Aug-2013Reviewed 19 Aug 2013 ous avons passé 2 semaines merveilleuses dans le petit studio avec notre petit garçon de 16 mois. L'endroit respire le calme et la tranquillité. Le studio est aménagé de façon charmante et reste frais tout au long de la journée, ce qui n'est pas négligeable vu la chaleur que nous avons pu avoir. Laura, le propriétaire est une femme charmante, accueillante et énergique qui prend bien soin de ses locataires (sa confiture aux cerises est un délice) tout en respectant le besoin d'intimité de tout un chacun. La piscine est bien agréable, tout comme son magnifique jardin qui donne vue sur les vignes et le village perché de Montepulciano. La situation est idéale pour visiter la Toscane tout comme le début de l'Ombrie. Pour nous, c'est évident: nous y retournerons!!
Un super séjour
By on 25-Aug-2013Reviewed 25 Aug 2013 Le lieu est charmant au milieu des vignes, très calme et le logement est très confortable. La maison est tellement bien orientée et isolée que nous n'avons jamais eu besoin de la climatisation malgré les 38-40° diurnes. La propriétaire est très accueillante et très attentionnée envers ses hôtes. Nous ne pouvons que recommander chaleureusement ce lieu de vacances très reposant.
Awesome place, highly recommended!
By on 05-Jul-2014Reviewed 5 Jul 2014 We stayed in Agriturismo Il Salarco for one week the end of July. It is an amazing place, great location, close to Montepulciano, Pienza and Sienna. The house is very clean, nice comfortable beds and a great layout. Laura, the owner lives close by and she is very helpful and accommodating with any request ( iron, towels, bedding etc..). We had an awesome stay! Thank you Laura!!!! We hope to be back...and definitely recommend it to our family and friends!
Perfect place for family holidays
By on 28-Apr-2015Reviewed 28 Apr 2015 We spent wonderful week in this place. The host was nice and warm, trying to help in any case we asked. Clean and in very good condition house, suits perfectly to all you may need during holiday. Very good location for quick trips around to see many interesting places in Tuscany. In this location you can feel real atmosphere of contryside. Beautiful landscape, surroundings and owner making this place fantastic. I'd recommend this site and we want to be back there.
