The appartment itself and the location in Orcia valley are excelent. What did not satisfyus, was the fact that by 20th of May the pool was still out of order. Also internet was weak. Rest is great, host is very friendly, it's clean, lot of things in the appartment are pretty new or at least in good condition. Just dishes can be partially renewed/replaced, but acceptable.
[counter comment from the owners] The owners are very sorry for these disruptions, the weather was very bad, it was very cold (in fact, the guests have asked for some wood) and with the continuous rains it was not possible to open the pool earlier.
As for the internet, it was a very aggressive virus that blocked the wholelocal network and thus the slowness was due to that.Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes

Sehr schön gelegene und liebevoll betreute Ferienwohnung im Herzen der südlichen Toskana am Oberlauf des Orciatales, guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge und Besichtigungen. Die Ferienwohnung hat eine gute Ausstattung, ist sehr gepflegt und hat einen wunderschönen Swimmingpool. Zur Begrüßung stand sogar ein toller Obstkorb für uns auf dem Tisch. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen bestimmt wieder. Nochmals vielen Dank an die Besitzerin und gute Seele der Casali dell Osteria Maria.

Cet "agriturismo" est particulièrement bien situé pour visiter le Val d'Orcia. Depuis la propriété on a une vue magnifique sur les "crete sienese". L'endroit est calme, bien entretenu et l'accueil simple et chaleureux.
