The roof caved in on the property before we arrived. The place was unsafe to stay. They refused to refund our money. We had to spend three days trying to find another place to stay in a foreign country thousands of miles away from home. The management there is the worse I have ever seen. I wish I could some how give a worse review. They are thieves. They pretty much stole our money.

Very convenient location
The apartment is just great. The only inconvenience is the bedroom which is on loft and you have to keep your head all the time, but we were for only one night stay and used it just for sleeping. The apartment is on a great location, close to everything, we did a self check in which was very convenient, the instructions were completely clear and also we asked for instructions for free parking, it was like 400 meters, so for us was great. We recommend it. Pienza is amasing!

Pienza
Ok, first off great location. Awesome town and decent 500ish year old building. Cozy. But the check in site office is not the same location as the room. It is around the corner, on the left side of the restaurant that is in the street. Number 4. Be careful where you park, most of the city unpaid parking is residents only and has a 125 euro fine.
Great restaurant in front of hotel

Beware
I’m not a high maintenance traveler and I do understand that places in Europe are old but this place was far below even basic expectations. The photos and descriptions made it seem more like a regular b&b but it’s actually an apartment style attic room with an old broken down mattress. See pics. The room was cold, had a broken sink, and was furnished more like a hostel. Worst night in any hotel.com I’ve ever booked. I’m truly baffled by the other reviews. Be ware if you stay here and know what you’re getting. It’s located at the end of a busy street. You will not enjoy scenes as depicted in the website. Rather an old tile roof. Breakfast included decomposing apples. Service was fine and friendly. I feel bad for leaving a poor review but it’s honest and I wish someone had warned me before I booked.

Carla, the owner, is amazing and very helpful. The location couldn't be better, and the historical building is just a delight to stay in. The only downside was that the mattress on the bed was not particularly comfortable for me. Note: it is on an upper floor, so you will have to go up 2 or 3 flights of stairs - but that is part of the charm of historical buildings...

This was a wonderful place to stay in Pienza. Carla messaged us on WhatsApp a day before our arrival to check in with us about our arrival time. She was very helpful and recommended good local wineries. Good breakfast attended by a few personnel at the hotel. Only slightly bad thing was that the room we stayed in had an incredibly low slanted ceiling and I knocked my head on it pretty good a few times. Would stay again though, gladly!

Antica Locanda is in the heart of Pienza and a great place to stay! The only downfall was the air conditioner wasn't in our room the first night and when it was on, it wasn't that strong. I would highly recommend this place!

Comfortable accommodation within the village walls
Great accommodation in authentic medieval building, just amazing! Carla, our hostess was very friendly and gave lots of information on what to do in Pienza, very helpful. Our room, on the third floor, was spacious and had a view over the valley which we loved. An adequate continental breakfast was included and served by lovely staff. My only suggestion would be to provide water and wine glasses in the room along with tea and coffee making facilities. Otherwise a very pleasant stay and Pienza itself is a beautiful city with many shops, wine bars and restaurants and so much history. The Pienza community should be very proud and commended on the way their town is presented.

Charming B&B with a wonderful staff
This is a cute B&B in a cool historic building. The rooms have nice antique furniture and are spacious as is the bathroom. Pienza is a charming town with breathtaking views. The service we received at this hotel was outstanding. Carla called us the day we checked-in to inquire about our arrival time to make sure everything would be ready when we got there. She was friendly and helpful in providing information about the town and local restaurants. We were greeted the next morning with the most divine smelling fresh baked pastries prepared by Maria, who was both delightful and attentive. The entire staff made us feel at home. I would not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you Carla and Maria for a wonderful visit.

Wonderful stay in Pienza, beautiful easily walkable walled town with blue bus nearby just outside the old town, 5 minute walk. Sweet guesthouse amongst the rooftops, wonderfully appointed. But the best part was the wonderful hostess, Barbara, who made me feel most welcome and at home. Loved my stay. Gracias, Barbara

Nice but only if you don't get the attic!
Let's be honest. Venice is an overly over-priced city. So even pigeon-holes mascarading as hotel rooms are going to expensive. And that's what we got at Pausania. I had specifically urged them that this was our honeymoon: make it special. They even responded in agreement. But what we got was a room in the attic. Yes it was clean and had a great bathroom - no way however to stand and bathe though as the roof over your head inclines to the base of the bathroom! That was the killer. And it's the same story in the room. So basically since its a true Venetian building you get that experience but its only HALF the experience. So: ensures have not booked the attic. We checked the other rooms. And they were gorgeous!! With lovely rooms that had gorgeously painted ceilings. Also senior citizens beware: no lifts. No bell boys. Loads to climb. So travel light

Charming little hotel in a fairytale hill town
What a charming little hotel in a fairytale hill town in Tuscany. The owner was a delightful lady who couldn't do enough to be more welcoming. Don't expect the comforts of a 5 star hotel. You come here for the charm of an attic room with exposed beams and leaning ceilings that follow the roof line, and the wonderful views of lush rolling Tuscan hills when you open the window.

Charming and enjoyable stay
Really enjoyed my stay at Antica Locanda. Great location within the old town of Pienza. Very peaceful and quiet. Only 5 minutes away from free parking down. The host was a character, very bubbly and helpful, relaying all the important information for our stay. Despite having limited English we managed to communicate with a mixture of basic Italian and French. Breakfast is a basic DIY offering which you make up yourself in the room which has tea/coffee making facilities with some basic provisions provided. Comfortable room and had a good night's sleep here. Would stay again.

Lovely accommodation in a lovely place.
We had 2 rooms on the top floor overlooking the valley, fabulous - although 1 room was permanently hot with very poor air-conditioning. However, the biggest disappointment was the so-called continental breakfast. What was supplied was very inadequate - dried crisp-bread and cakes and very little else - not what we would expect for a continental breakfast! Having said all of that, the owner is delightful and she made our stay overall a pleasure.

Dont pay twice
I booked the room through hotels.com on the iPhone app and arrived but had to pay the owner again in Euros. I thought this was just becuase my CC had been used to 'book' the room - on returning back home I found that I had paid TWICE and the owner of the B&B should be aware of this. What follwed was a fairly complex refund issue where the owner of the B&B spoke no English and was unable to corroborate my 2nd payment....all a bit messy really.However that apart the location of the apartment is very good....maybe too many stairs for some people and you need to make sure that you are not bothered with stairs. Also dont expect a fancy schmancy breakfast here at this place as its basically a dry roll and a coffee maker in your room.....were this issue of the shabby breakfast sorted I would return here again

A charming stay in Pienza
We really enjoyed our stay at Antica Locanda. Barbara was very helpful throughout the stay, the B&B is very well located inside the historic area of Pienza and has excellent character. The room was large and characterful with excellent bathroom facilities. The breakfast is basic but sufficient and we felt the hotel was good value for money. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend Antica Locanda highly.

Delightful place to stay in Pienza
We had a lovely double en-suite room with a view up the main street of Pienza. The room had old beams and lovely old furniture but a modern bathroom with bidet etc. Breakfast was 'self service' in the room - which suited us as we could have it when we wanted - also could have an expresso anytime. There was a 'mini fridge' in the bathroom to keep food cool. Very pleasant place to stay at a reasonable price. Free parking available close by. Would definitley r4ecommend.

L'antica locanda
Soggiorno molto piacevole, nel cuore di pienza. La struttura ha stanze per ogni necessità, nel rispetto della tradizione architettonica rustica toscana. Nei dintorni ci sono ristoranti e locali per tutti i gusti, unica scomodità è il parcheggio ad paio di kilometri di distanza, ma è lo scotto da pagare per alloggiare nel centro storico del paese.

Accoglienza nella norma, ma ci siamo dovuti portare da soli le valigie lungo 3 rampe di scale. Mancanza di servizi, aria condizionata portatile rumorosissima, mancanza di saponette, bagnodoccia ecc. È presente la doccia ma è talmente piccola che si sbatte con le braccia. Frigo bar assente, tv assente, prese elettriche in punti scomodi. Punto a favore la posizione centralissima. Esperienza nel complesso deludente

Buongiorno Andrea, mi dispiace della vostra esperienza, ma non trovo corretto mentire sugli operatori e su parte dei servizi. L'operatrice si è offerta più volte di aiutarvi con le valigie ricevendo tutte le volte una risposta negativa. La TV non è assente e se ci fosse stato qualche problema bastava contattare l'operatrice che è stata sempre a vostra disposizione. Se avevate bisogno di maggiori servizi poteva prenotare un albergo 4 stelle e non un affittacamere nel centro di Pienza. Grazie

Siamo stati alloggiati in altra struttura evidentemente collegata, in una casa nella città vecchia. Al secondo piano, senza ascensore e con is scala molto stretta con difficile trasporto dei bagagli. La cosiddetta suite Bernardo prevedeva il letto in un soppalco sotto il tetto, molto basso; impossibile alzarsi in piedi senza rischiare di battere contro la volta e con accesso attraverso una scala molto ripida.
