Overview

Il Giardino Segreto is situated in the historical centre of Pienza in a restored building of the 18th century with a wonderful inner garden. WiFi connection is free throughout. All rooms and apartments look onto the garden and still feature the original structure and characteristics of the old Tuscan houses: tile floors, original wooden beams, large fireplaces, furniture in the simple and functional Tuscan style. The property doesn't have a bar or restaurant to serve breakfast, but provides ingredients and facilities to prepare and enjoy your own continental breakfast with biscuits and pastries. The garden boasts 2 different areas : the Moon Garden a shadier, more appropriate area for reading, rest and meditation and the Sun Garden, sunnier and brighter.

Charming, comfortable, convenient

Fabulous in every respect. Clearly previous visitors returning to this most charming place. We were cycling and decided to have a rest day, could not have chosen a better place. Multiple day stays recommended, you won’t regret it. Bikes were safely locked in the garden.

Cinzia the lovely host at Il Gardino Segreto was very helpful and kind, nothing is to much trouble for her to sort out. The location is perfect, right in the old town but also very quiet. We stayed in the studio which was small but perfect for our short stay. Everything was very clean and the breakfast was a bonus. If I stayed in Pienza again this is where I'd look first.

The location is great and there is a beautiful garden in front of the rooms, unfortunately the weather wasn't amazing, so we couldn't enjoy it as much as we would have liked. The host was helpful and communicative. The room was spacious and had the things we needed.

Fantastic stay at this beautiful property. The perfect place to stay when exploring Tuscany

Wonderful little property in a secluded garden. Nice space to use as a base to explore the stunning town of Pienza and surrounding areas. Cinzia was an excellent host and was always available to answer any questions we had!

Perfect location of a nice and friendly hotel in Pienza.

Perfect location in the famous medieval and esthetically wonderful city of Pienza, in the Val d'Orcia. Nice room. Very convenient garden (in the city !). Very friendly owner who welcomes you. Highly recommended.

I will come back to Gardino Segreto for sure :)

Thank you Cinzia for such a wonderful stay at your beautiful, tranquil and cosy place. The room was very clean and spacious and the bed was very comfortable. We also enjoyed your little garden where we could sit for a while after a hot day. We liked a location very much too - just 2 min walking distance from the centre of Pienza. We recommend this place to everyone who likes places with atmosphere.

Perfect location and great host!

The location was absolutely perfect, literally inside Pienza and the large garden with furniture for each guest was a plus to have breakfast or a nice drink in the evening. Cinzia the host was incredibly professional and looked after us very well, ensuring we had everything we needed. A really great host!
