About this apartment rental

This cosy and quiet home dating back to 1300, recently equipped with a strong Wi-Fi connection, has an infinite view on the valley, in San Quirico d’Orcia, and is a charming gateway to Tuscany, along the ancient Via Francigena, the path travelled for centuries by pilgrims of all times. You’ll be staying in the historic center of one of the most typical villages in Val D'Orcia, whose landscapes are declared to be part of the World Heritage by UNESCO for their beauty. You will enjoy a dive into the quiet country life while appreciating a lively village with many towns to visit in the surroundings as well. The apartment and town centre are always very calm and quiet all year round, even when there are small fairs, markets and local historical events and pageants. It will be pleasant to relax at home after wandering about all day. As you can see from the photos, the apartment has been furnished with particular care. Along with some modern elements, it has various interesting pieces of furniture and antiques that contribute to creating it's charm with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, playing between history and the contemporary. There are also elements like the lamps that were specially designed by the previous owner, and some works of art (sculptures and paintings) to complement and enrich the atmosphere. You will realize for yourself that each object has been carefully thought out to coontribute to the overall effect.
The apartment has a strong Wi-Fi connection to the internet and you can also launch films or other from the computer or your devices directly to the TV with Chromecast. If you have an Italian Sky subscription, you can use your card in the Sky decoder to watch Sky.
You will find plenty of tourist info in the flat, and tourist guides for San Quirico and surroundings and cards for good restaurants. You can also use the CDs and DVDs etc. Please put everything back at the end of your stay.
From 15 April to 15 October the rates do not include heating and cooling which, if requested, will have an extra cost of 10 € per day, payable on site. In any case the apartment is very cool and airy even during the summer so you will probably not need any air conditioning, but let us know if you prefer having it.

We’ve been in Italy for four weeks and this has been our favourite stay. San Quirico is a hidden gem and this is a great apartment! Airleas was a delight; she provided us with tons of recommendations in Val d’Orta and beyond. If I could I’d give this 10 stars. Thanks for making our stay memorable. Jay & Pam

Siamo stati veramente benissimo. Casa con tutti i confort, cucina molto ben servita e ottima posizione. Vista spettacolare sulle colline della Val d’Orcia. Un altro punto a favore è il silenzio in questa dimora. Consigliatissima.

Casa meravigliosa e vista mozzafiato

Abbiamo soggiornato una settimana in questa splendida casetta in pieno centro. L'impressione alla vista della vallata è stata da subito impattante. La casa inoltre é provvista di tutti i confort ad eccezione della connessione wifi che non é ideale nella ricezione del segnale (ma in un posto così è meglio essere connessi con la natura) e il parcheggio un po' scomodo allo scarico bagagli. Ad ogni modo la pulizia e l'atmosfera presenti al suo interno hanno compensato questi piccoli dettagli. Torneremo sicuramente a soggiornare alla casa delle lampade. Grazie Gianluca e a Mimma per la disponibilità mostrata 😊
