L'Ormasso at La Locanda del Moro

Situated to the North of Tuscany La Locanda del Moro provides you with a different Tuscany experience. This property of 2 villas gives you total peace and relaxation but also has the possibility of an active holiday due to the wealth of activities in the area.
La Locanda sits on a hillside where it boasts excellent views of the valley below and distant hills dotted with villages and forests. It’s location in the Tuscan mountains allows you to sample a part of Tuscany not well known to many travellers, the local produce is just one of the many attractions at La Locanda.
At this property there is something for everyone with activities ranging from just relaxing by the pool, to visiting historical towns, to hiking and canyoning in the nearby natural parks. The owners also live at the property and will be able to help you with all activities, provide you with local products such as jams and cheeses.

Was waren die Highlights Ihres Urlaubs? Highlights waren die wirklich überwälltigende Natur und das gepflegte Grundstück. Der Ausblick auf die Berge war unvergesslich. Weiterer Höhepunkt war der Pool (groß, sauber und ungechlort). Unsere Tochter war insbesondere fasziniert von den Schafen und wilden Ziegen in unmittelbarer Umgebung. Wer Ruhe und Natur sucht findet hier eine luxoriöse Möglichkeit seinen Traumurlaub fernab von Tourtistenmassen zu vergringen.
Wie war Ihr Gesamteindruck von der Unterbringung? Der Gesamteindruck der Unterbringung ist sehr gut. Die Wohnung ist liebevoll eingerichtet und komplett ausgestattet. Obwohl drei Parteien im Haus leben (2 Ferienwohnungen und die Vermieter) hatten wir ein Höchstmaß an Privatssphäre. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Ich habe es vorher z.B. noch nie erlebt, dass Vermieter zur Begrüßung einen Kuchen backen und es als Abschiedsgeschenk selbsgemachte Marmelade gibt.
Gab es unangenehme Überraschungen? Nein.
Haben Sie andere Anmerkungen? Wir waren zwar durch Ihre Wegbeschreibung darauf vorbereitet, dass wir nur über eine 7 km lange Passstraße zum Haus gelangen, dass diese aber so eng und steil ist, ist für deutsche Autofahrer doch gewöhnungsbedürftig. Die wundervolle Lage des Hauses und der damit verbundene Ausblick haben uns jedoch voll entschädigt.

Overall impression: It was exactly how it was described on your website. The accommodation was absolutely fabulous.
Highlights: The house we were staying at and the trip to the small villages in the area of where we were staying.
Unpleasant surprises: Not at all. I'm gonna give your name to all my friends in France and give also L'Ormasso's name. It was truly a perfect vacation.
Thanks a lot Michela,
We had a wonderful trip.
Take care,
Emilie (Accommodation: L'Ormasso)

I like To Tuscany, partly because it has a tremendous range of villas, and partly because (unlike many companies) it has an excellent website that provides what you really want when choosing a villa.

Our accommodation, which cost less than £800 for the week, is in a converted stone farmhouse next to a 12th Century Franciscan chapel. There is a pergola shaded by vines round the back here we quickly settle into a rhythm of eating long pasta suppers while the shadows lengthen.
