    Description

    Hi, we are a French and Italian couple running a 6-room guest-house in a dream setting, in Montepulciano, Tuscany.
    We moved to Italy 6 years ago and renovated this farmhouse which was in ruins for the next 3 years. We've been open to guests for 3 years now, and we are loving it. The region (Val d'Orcia) is beautiful, and we are lucky to have very nice guests!
    We love cooking, meeting new people and hosting them, and enjoy traveling in the winter!
