Agriturismo Il Giardino

Hotel Description

You know what? I wasn’t expecting much when I first pulled up that winding strada vicinale – honestly, the GPS had me second-guessing myself for a solid ten minutes. But then you see the sign for Agriturismo Il Giardino, and suddenly you’re driving through this incredible landscape that feels like someone painted it specifically for your arrival. The place sits in località Giardino (which, let me tell you, lives up to its name), and from the moment you step out of your car, you can smell that mix of cypress and lavender that just screams authentic Tuscan countryside.

The owners – and I mean this in the best way – actually know what they’re doing. Check-in was refreshingly personal; none of that sterile hotel lobby nonsense. They walked me through the property like I was a visiting relative, pointing out the best spots to catch sunset (spoiler: it’s from the little stone terrace near the olive grove) and casually mentioning which morning the local market happens in Sansepolcro. Speaking of which, the town center is maybe a fifteen-minute drive when you’re not stuck behind a tractor – which, honestly, happened twice during my stay, but somehow it just added to the charm. The rooms themselves have that perfect balance of rustic character and modern comfort that most places completely mess up. I’m talking original stone walls that actually regulate temperature naturally, but also really good Wi-Fi and a shower with proper water pressure.

What really got me, though, was how quiet it gets at night. Not that eerie, unsettling quiet you sometimes get in remote places, but more like… well, like the countryside is just settling in for the evening. You’ll hear the occasional owl, maybe some rustling in the gardens, but mostly it’s just this incredible silence that makes you realize how much noise you live with normally. The breakfast – which they serve on the terrace when weather permits – uses ingredients from their own land, and I mean that literally. The woman who runs the place pointed out the chickens that laid my eggs, which sounds almost too precious to be real, but somehow it worked. The whole experience has this 9.7 rating on most booking sites, and honestly? I get it. It’s not trying to be a luxury resort – it’s just genuinely excellent at being what it is: a working farm that happens to be an incredible place to stay. Plus, parking is right there (no hunting for spots), and if you’re planning to explore the area, you’re perfectly positioned between Sansepolcro’s historic center and some of the smaller hill towns that most tourists never find.

• Vrijstaand appartement op een prachtig historisch grondgebied. – Frans from Netherlands – 12 May 2025 (10/10)

  Zeer vriendelijke host. Ruim appartement in apart huisje.
  Op het grondgebied stonden 15-eeuwse villa's. Wij kregen er een rondleiding.

  Un oasi di pace! Grazie mille per l'accoglienza!

• Exceptional – Pierleoni from Italy – 4 May 2025 (10/10)

  La disponibilità, la gentilezza e la premura della signora Alessandra sono davvero rare. Consigliatissimo anche per la posizione: si arriva in centro con una pedalata o di pochi minuti

• Exceptional – Martin from Austria – 3 May 2025 (10/10)

  Alessandra war supernett. Hat frisches Gebäck und anderes extra fürs Frühstück geholt.

• Geweldig verblijf. – Willem from Netherlands – 27 April 2025 (10/10)

  De vriendelijke en ontzettend behulpzame Alessandra. Ze zorgde ervoor dat mijn kleren weer droog werden (het weer zat niet helemaal mee). Ze bracht me met de auto naar winkel waar ik inkopen moest doen voor verdere Via Francesco. Een geweldig mens dat een 10 plus verdient.
  
  What could be improved: Beetje ver van centro maar kreeg fiets en daarmee prima te doen.

• Maravilloso – De from Spain – 14 April 2025 (10/10)

  Me gustó todo porque el alojamiento era precioso, la cama era súper comoda y estaba muy limpio. Lo mejor es la amabilidad con la que fuimos recibidos, la dueña se porto de maravilla con nosotros y es encantadora.

• Exceptional – Daniele from Italy – 31 March 2025 (10/10)

  La signora Francesca è premurosa e disponibile.
  
  La location è un'oasi di pace

• Superb – Paweł from Poland – 7 October 2024 (9/10)

  Bardzo dogodna lokalizacja, blisko miasta ale jednak na uboczu. Przemiła obsługa. Właścicielka przygotowała w kuchni koszyk z owocami. Kawa, herbaty, cukier, sól ciasteczka i dżem były na wyposażeniu kuchni. Oczywiście zadowalające standardowe wyposażenie kuchni było tez dostępne. Ze względu na jesienną porę nie korzystałem z ogrodu i basenu.
  
  What could be improved: Nie w całym apartamencie był zasięg wi-fi.
