Podere Val D'Orcia Resort - Tuscany Equestrian in Sarteano, open June–November.
Podere Val D'Orcia Resort originated as a traditional Tuscan farmstead dating back several centuries, serving the region's agricultural communities before undergoing careful restoration to become a luxury equestrian hotel.
The property preserves its stone architecture and rural character while integrating modern hospitality amenities across its sprawling estate.
Today, it operates as a full-service destination venue combining working stables, vineyard views, and accommodation for up to 150 guests within the Val d'Orcia UNESCO World Heritage landscape.
I stayed here with my husband, my in-laws, and my mother in the last week of August. We stayed four nights but I could have stayed forever! Selene was so welcoming and the rooms were spacious and just relaxing. The food was also amazing - we loved our evenings looking over the beautiful valley enjoying our cocktails before dinner. We didn’t use the spa but did have a chance to take a quick dip in the pool and the jacuzzi - both had amazing views as well. We loved everything about this place.
