This was a beautiful place in rolling hills of Tuscany. A perfect place to get away from the noise of city and unwind. Beautiful view from the top of the hill. Friendly service. It was hot the night we were there and there was no fan. We left windows open but there were mosquitoes. Just a little plug in fan would be nice.

Quiet, Out of the way B & B
We had some trouble finding the place mainly because the travel docuiments listed the B & B as in Castel Florintino. We called them directly only to discover we had traveled quite a ways out of the area. They are actually located in Palaia. My husband knew how to get there traveling the back roads and it was an amazing scenic drive we totally enjoyed. Just as we'd hoped it was in the countryside and Ornella our host showed us to our room. We had to climb some concrete steps to the uppermost floor that could prove inconvenient for older guests, but was not a problem for us. The room was rather sparse and there were no toiletries, so it's a good thing we had our own. We had the entire floor to ourselves and appreciated the privacy. Once we figured out how to get the water warm in the shower the pressure was not that good, but at least the water was warm. The views were amazing and unbeatable and so was Ornella's freshly baked apricot pastry which she served to us with a cappucino shortly after our arrival! Yum! She recommended a great place to eat in the nearby village and after browsing at several of the shops in the village we returned to the B & B. We slept soundly through the night, but was awakened by two cats on the premises who apparently accidentally slept inside our building and made a lot of noise early in the morning. We later found out they were trying to get out of the house. Once freed all was calm again. I made some instant coffee while waiting for breakfast and discovered there was no milk or sugar in our space. There was a kitchen available but we did not use it with the exception of the coffee. Great place overall and we would stay there again.

Orchedia - not your average B & B. It's better.
Amazing. If you enjoy beautiful surroudings, complete relaxation and friendly people - stay here. The view from every window in this large, charming villa is breathtaking. The staff are wonderful (good idea to brush up on your Italian first!) and friendly. Eat breakfast in the garden while enjoying toast with homemade jam. A wonderful Bed & Breakfast location with your own private area. Great for long stays and children. I would highly reccomend this B&B. The lovely owner will welcome you with open arms and remind you why Tuscany is still the best place to visit. Location close by to Voltarre, Pisa and Siena. Toronto, Canada June, 2011
