A Sanctuary of Tuscan History & Culinary Excellence

We had an amazing time at La Chuisa, being very new to Italy, the staff were very helpful, especially Andrea who went above and beyond to look after us. The views and location amazing! Close to the little village of Montefellonico. The cooking class with Nonna was so memorable! Our only issues was when we called the hotel for assistance and couldn’t get a hold of them a couple of times, Also no tea and coffee in the room.

We had a lovely stay for one night being on the way to Rome. Great service on arrival at 8pm. Very comfortable bed. Nice big shower. The food was excellent and the service very friendly and professional in the Resto as well.

Pranzo di natale, siamo stati benissimo

I had the most amazing time hosting a retreat for my business at La Chiusa. It was the most magical time. The owners were incredible, and the staff perfectly helpful and kind. We did many of the in house activities like olive oil tasting, truffle hunting, cooking classes etc. and we absolutely loved every single experience. If you plan a trip to La Chiusa, you will not be disappointed. It was a trip of a lifetime!

We’d then return to relax or stroll through the olive groves before heading out again around 5 p.m. in our little bus for sightseeing or wine tasting, always ending the day with a wonderful dinner. At La Chuisa, Linda led us in a bread-making class—our loaves turned out amazing! We also had a pasta-making lesson, and of course, enjoyed dining on our own creations. Our room (#13) was lovely, featuring large windows that opened to stunning views of the Tuscan countryside—it was like waking up to a painting every morning. The space was spotless and had that perfect rustic charm we were hoping for. In addition to the daily breakfasts (complete with delicious cappuccinos), we dined at La Chuisa three times—once for lunch on the back terrace, which offered breathtaking views, and twice for dinner. Both dinners were exceptional, especially since we got to help make the pasta! Linda and George are outstanding hosts—warm, fun, and fully engaged throughout the tours. They join in at meals and conversations, making the whole experience feel personal and special. We also loved relaxing with afternoon cocktails while taking in the panoramic scenery—the bartender makes an incredible spicy margarita! We highly recommend Experience Tuscany at La Chuisa to anyone visiting the region who wants to enjoy a variety of authentic Tuscan experiences in just five days. The food is amazing, the hosts are exceptional, and the setting is simply unforgettable. – Dann & Nancy

Warm and helpful staff. Our room was in rustic Tuscany style and comfortable. There is a walking trail passing through vineyards offering nice views of Tuscany rolling hills, and we enjoyed our morning walks there. We enjoyed our daily breakfast, but regrettably, missed out on having dinner at the restaurant because it was fully booked for the evening.

Beautiful setting, unique rooms that began as an olive mill 1300 years ago but have been more recently renovated. Great service from all the staff.

We stayed at Lachiusa for four nights, and had dinner at the restaurant, joined a cooking class which became our lunch, had lunch in the olive grove, and had their front desk staff coordinate a wine tasting for us. EVERYTHING was amazing. Their customer service is impeccable, the place was beautiful and relaxing, the cooking class was the best ever-which exceeded my expecations, and the food at restaurant (breakfast buffet, lunch and dinner) was amazing. We are so glad we booked the place, and can't wait to come back, bringing our entire family to repeat the experience. Walking into town was an extra bonus, as well as our day trips out to wineries and montepulicano. If you are considering eating or staying here, I HIGHLY recommend it.

On a voulu essayé seulement le restaurant et nous sommes repartis conquis. Excellente cuisine ! Les plats étaient aussi beaux que bons. La cuisine était recherchée et savoureuse. Le lieu est magnifique et très agréable, le service à l’écoute.

Simply Fairyland! Beautiful property and amazing accommodations! Montefollonico is just a short uphill walk away! We enjoyed our short travels to neighboring Montepulciano and Pienza where we enjoyed wine tasting and olive oil tasting!

Wir konnten nicht genug bekommen und sind dort noch einmal ins Restaurant eingekehrt. Das hat zwei Gründe, der Erste, das sehr leckere Essen und der Zweite, Laurène und ihre Kolleginnen, einfach tolle Mitarbeiterinnen, denen das Arbeiten und der Service Spaß machen. Begeistert vom Essen und Laurène waren beide Abende etwas besonderes. Vielen lieben Dank ! Wir kommen gerne wieder ! 🤗

Absolutely gorgeous grounds and scenery, beautiful rooms, and of course delicious meals!! The best place we have stayed in Tuscany!! We will be back!!

Traumhafte Lage...Super Service und Weinberatung,Ausgezeichnete Küche. Die Superior Suite ist ein Erlebnis😇 Spezielles Dankeschön an Arpa,für Ihre super Beratung,weiter so. Wir kommen wieder🔝☀️💯🇮🇹

We stayed at La Chiusa as part of Cook in Tuscany and we could not have been happier. The entire property is beautiful, the room was comfortable, the views stunning and the food delicious! All the staff we interacted with were friendly, helpful and welcoming. We WILL be back. Cannot recommend this place highly enough!!

Cena meravigliosa con vista sulla valle. Cucina curata, servizio simpatico e professionale, posto curato. Consiglio soprattutto i dolci - è raro trovarne così buoni nella regione. Sono davvero contento di vedere che La Chiusa, un’istituzione storica di Montefollonico, continua ad esistere e a proporre esperienze gastronomiche eccezionali.

Posto meraviglioso, immerso nel verde, molto tranquillo e accogliente!

ENDROIT CHALEUREUX ET STRATÉGIQUE Nous avons passé 3 nuits dans ce magnifique logement en juillet 2025. Dès notre arrivée, nous avons tout de suite senti que le séjour se passerait bien tant au niveau du très bon accueil reçu par les deux dames très sympathiques que par l’authenticité de ce chaleureux logement. Le petit déjeuner était très bon et varié, beaucoup de choix avec une vue imprenable : qu'est ce qu'on se sentait bien ! La chambre était super grande avec vue sur la piscine et les abords étaient hyper chaleureux. Tout était bien entretenu ! La seule mini suggestion que j'aurais pour vous serait de placer des ampoules avec un blanc plus chaud (<=3000K) plutôt que les lampes forts blanches. Le lieu est stratégique si on souhaite visiter Montepulciano, Pienza, et les alentours ! Nous avons eu l'occasion de manger un soir. Le repas était très très bon et on s'est super bien occupé de nous : je remercie en particulier votre serveuse française Lorenne (salutation de Belgique et n'hésitez pas à nous suivre sur les réseaux sociaux si vous le souhaitez). Je recommande vivement et peut-être à bientôt, Mathieu et Nathalie

Breve soggiorno in famiglia in un'oasi di pace e tranquillità nel mezzo delle famose colline toscane. Camera molto ampia così come anche il bagno: tutto molto pulito e ben tenuto. Spazi esterni ampissimi e curati ti fanno assaporare a pieno la bellezza del paesaggio circostante. Per noi è stata un'ottimo punto di partenza per visitare Montepulciano e Pienza ed apprezzare anche il piccolo e tranquillo borgo di Montefollonico. Colazione ricca e buffet variegato con molti prodotti fatti in casa. La ciliegina sulla torta è stata il ristorante che offre un'esperienza culinaria straordinaria in una location spettacolare soprattutto se, come noi, riuscite a cenare all'esterno. Staff gentile e preparato e le ragazze del ristorante veramente squisite hanno aiutato a rendere perfetta la nostra permanenza in questa magica struttura.

Lekker gegeten met een schitterend uitzicht! Zeer vriendelijk en net personeel!

It was lovely. I know, they are updating the rooms. We had a big room, but the shower was a box. In addition, it would be nice to have TVs However, the main dining room was very hot. They need to install fans

I have a very good time relaxing at this hotel if you are looking for something busy and night life activities is better to stay away from this place but if you like to Relax and enjoy the nature this is the place to go, i Appreciate Arpa for her warm welcoming and she is a great assistant at the front desk she helped me find my way around 😊 overall I was happy with the service. Thanks

A truly Tuscan experience made special by a great staff who looks after your ever need! A highly recommended stop on your tour of Italy...

Lovely boutique hotel with amazing staff and tons of activities especially the cooking classes. View spectacular everyday during meal time. No regrets

Probably spent the best week of my life, not because of the people I traveled with, or the beautiful weather, but because of the wonderful people that make this little corner of heaven on earth possible. From day 1, we felt included, respected, and appreciated as if we were members of the family ourselves. Worth every penny and made unforgettable memories of authentic Italian cooking, incredible sightseeing, and lifelong friends. Can’t wait to go back!

La Chiusa Boutique Inn and Restaurant is a true Tuscan gem! The views are breathtaking, the rooms are cozy and beautifully designed, and the food in the restaurant is absolutely delicious. Elena, Gabriella, and Arpa were incredibly warm and welcoming—top-notch hospitality all around. The restaurant team lead by Lorenz were amazing. A perfect mix of comfort, charm, and unforgettable service. Can’t wait to come back!

Is a fantastic Place to stay with awesome views. They have cooking classes available. Did a 5 day package with cooking school and sightseeing with a group of friends. Was an awesome experience and was a highlight of 2week trip. They produce their on olive oil and honey. Close to several towns in Tuscany and would be a good base to explore from. The building dates back to 350 AD. Rooms have A/C.

We had a very great stay at La Chiusa and enjoyed every minute! The room and bathroom were spacious and very clean. We also enjoyed the breakfast every day and had a dinner once. The dinner was also very good and the service was again great! Would definitely recommend

I wonderful and relaxing stay. The staff was very helpful, the property is beautiful and stunning. I could have stayed here a month. The restaurant is very nice but more "fine dining," I would have a heavy lunch before going.

A special place! Beautiful views, very comfortable rooms, fantastic food and a great cooking class. Definitely would go back again!

Beautiful place with lovely owners and very friendly staff. AC in room 18 was not working properly and struggled to keep room comfortable. They were aware and waiting for replacement, and friends in other rooms didn’t have an issue. Otherwise this would be five stars.

Upon arrival, I was greeted warmly, as if I was expected right at that moment. I was there for Cooking in Tuscany for a week and had arrived a day early - my room was ready for me and a dinner reservation was made in advance for me. The staff were attentive, welcoming and very friendly - and knowledgeable. The wine recommendation for my dinner was superb! Right from the start, the whole week was memorable. Cooking in Tuscany was a dream come true - I learned A LOT, experienced hands on cooking from experts and all while enjoying the experiences of being in Tuscany and at La Chiusa. Would I go again? ABSOLUTELY!

Il posto è davvero bello! Piscina curata, camere belle (a parte luci fredde che rovinano un po' il calore generale), si ha proprio la sensazione di staccare. Peccato solo per la colazione modesta e per il check out alle ore 10.00, di solito in tutti i posti è alle 12.00 oppure almeno alle 11.00, alle 10 mai sentito prima. Con una colazione con prodotti piu freschi e genuini (torte fatte in casa, salumi nostrani, pane fresco) sarebbe davvero un posto da sogno. Tornerò sperando che questi aspetti siano migliorati 🙂

This is a wonder choice for a classic experience in Tuscany! It was personal and had delicious food. The outside dinner overlooking the landscape was beautiful and very classy. One of our favorite places to stay on our three week trip. It was only available for two nights so we were glad to include this location on our Italy journey!

Tucked away in the rolling hills of Tuscany, La Chiusa restaurant and villa is nothing short of magical. From the moment you arrive, the views take your breath away—golden vineyards, olive groves, and distant hilltop villages bathed in warm Italian light. It's the kind of place that feels almost too picturesque to be real. The villa itself is rustic elegance at its best—stone walls, wood-beamed ceilings, and rooms that open to terraces overlooking the countryside. It’s the ideal blend of comfort and authenticity, making you feel like you’re living in a postcard. Waking up here is a gift, especially with the sun rising over the hills and birdsong in the distance. The restaurant, however, is where the experience truly becomes unforgettable. Every dish celebrates the region’s flavors with fresh, local ingredients and traditional recipes passed down through generations. From hand-rolled pici pasta and Filetto di Anatra (duck fillet) in a beef puree to perfectly grilled bistecca (T-bone) alla fiorentina, every bite is crafted with love and mastery. The house-made olive oil and wines from their vineyard add an extra layer of depth and authenticity. What sets this place apart is not just the food or the views, but the warmth of the people. George, Linda, Whitney, Francesca, Renzo and staff treat you like family, sharing stories, pouring extra wine, and making sure every moment feels special. Whether you’re here for a romantic getaway, a quiet retreat, or simply to indulge in the best of Tuscany, this restaurant and villa delivers a soul-soothing experience you’ll never forget. Highly recommended!

Incredible. Cook in Tuscany class was incredible. Beautiful relaxing delicious

Traumhafte Lage zwischen Montalcino und Montepulciano mit grandioser Aussicht. Sehr gepflegte Anlage die kaum Wünsche offen lässt. Sehr schöne Pool Anlage mit Blick auf Montepulciano, genügend Liegen und Schatten, z.T. unter Olivenbäumen. Im Restaurant kreative Küche mit aussergewöhnlichem Ambiente unter Bäumen mit Aussicht und Atmosphäre.

Great experience with Cook in Tuscany, variety of meals, restaurant visits and hands on (literally) pasta instruction. Linda, George, Francesca and staff were wonderful, answered any questions and led our travels. Enjoyed meeting the other guests, especially the east coast contingent and Bev and Joanie. Highly recommend, I got on the wait list in November and a spot opened within a month or two. Rooms are lovely!

Hotel is a historic olive mill almost on top of the mountain with spacious grounds with an active vineyard, olive grove and honey farm. Restaurant employs chefs who serve savory Tuscan dishes.

An unforgettable Tuscan escape! We stayed at La Chiusa Agriturismo in early April and had a truly wonderful experience. The staff was incredibly helpful and welcoming, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The food was absolutely outstanding—so much so that we chose to dine there every night rather than go elsewhere. Every dish was thoughtful, seasonal, and beautifully prepared. We especially enjoyed Laurene, who was not only attentive to all our questions but also deeply knowledgeable about food and wine. Her warmth and expertise added something truly special to each meal. The grounds and views of Montepulciano were stunning, offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. One of the highlights of our stay was the pasta-making class—fun, hands-on, and incredibly delicious. La Chiusa exceeded our expectations in every way. A perfect combination of hospitality, culinary excellence, and Tuscan charm. Highly recommended—we can’t wait to return.

The staff is there for you at any moment. The property is Gorgeous beyond words, the restaurant is first class with a creative chef who makes the most exquisite food. Restaurant staff made this solo traveler feel right at home, Top Notch! This is a historical property that has been and continues to be lovingly restored keeping to the feel of the region. The incredible views out to Montepulciano, vineyards, mountain, and walking paths are just beautiful.

Abbiamo prenotato in questa struttura per una vacanza di qualche giorno perché desideravo da tempo poter visitare la Val d'Orcia. Ci avevano colpito le recensioni e le foto. Dal vivo devo dire che la struttura rende molto di più. Personale super professionale e gentile. Ci ha colpito molto l'accoglienza e la disponibilità per la nostra cucciola di Golden Retriever. Non è semplice per chi viaggia con un cane trovare struttura molto accoglienti. Ci é stata data la possibilità di poter portare sempre con noi la nostra cucciola anche durante la colazione e la cena. Stanze meravigliosa e super accogliente, oltre che pulizia eccezionale. Avendo un cane era facile magari trovare la stanza con ancora qualche pelo, ecc. Ma non trovavamo mai nulla. Struttura immersa nel verde della Val d'Orcia, silenziosa e veramente un'oasi di pace. La struttura è dotata anche di una grande area verde e terreni in cui poter passeggiare con tranquillità. Ristorante speciale e con piatti della tradizione con una rivisitazione in chiave moderna. Personale di sala veramente gentile e disponibile. Complimenti a Lisa per la sua dolcezza e disponibilità. Reception super disponibile anche nel riservare attività specifiche. In sintesi: se siete in zona non potete perdere l'occasione di soggiornare in questa struttura.

Beautiful location! Excellent views of Montepulciano in the distance from the inn. Breakfast was above average with extra services available (i.e., eggs to order and crepes at an extra charge). The room we stayed in was adequate and large but a little dated for the cost paid (in my opinion). If staying here please do not get placed in room 1, we heard restaurant customers walking through the gravel outside our window until the restaurant closed (around 11pm) and the lights from the garden shown through the doorway glass all night with no indoor shutters to block out the lights (outdoor shutters are available but we did not use them).

전반적인 음식 맛이 전부 다 너무 너무 좋았습니다. 다른 식당에서 식사중이던 여행객의 추천을 받아 방문하게 되었는데요.. 예약없이 방문하였고, 늦은시간 이었는데 따뜻하게 맞이해주셨습니다. 한국인이 아예 없었고, 정말 작은 마을 내에 있지만,, 모든 음식이 맛있고 분위기도 좋았고 최선을 다해 영어로 메뉴를 설명해주었던 친절한 직원들 모두 기억에 남습니다. 여기서 먹어보고 사온 발사믹 소스 정말 맛있습니다.

È stata una scoperta questo luogo che supera ogni aspettative. Dallo staff professionale e gentile, Eleonora davvero una ragazza super professionale e disponibile ad aiutarvi al meglio con i suoi consigli. Camere pulite e davvero molto ma molto belle. La location è in una cornice magica che ti toglie il fiato. Se volete visitare la Toscana questo è il posto ideale.

Superb place to stay in a fabulous setting, with highly-attentive staff and great food. Nice views of Montepulciano. Would strongly recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed Easter brunch at Chiusa. The food is very fresh, imaginative and delicious combining lots of interesting flavors with a beautiful presentation. The servers were attentive and informative knowing their wines and spirits well. The owner greeted all the customers at their table before and after their meals which was a nice added touch. The views surrounding the property were incredible! You could see 4 towns in a panoramic view, including Montepulciano. Very easy to get to by car. Do not miss this place!

Amazing place in an amazing place! We had the pleasure of a girls weekend here- between the 4 wheeler experience, wine tasting, cooking class and truffle hunting with dogs all on the property - you will always find something for EVERYONE! What a treasure- can’t wait to be back!! Thank you, Whitney!!

Beautiful location! Wonderful service and staff, La Chiusa in the village of Montefollonico is a gem. The restaurant is top notch, Chef Antonio is a master of taste and elegance. Delicious Tuscan flavors mixed with French flair.

Posizione incantevole e silenziosa. Colazione ottima e personale gentile. Camera più che dignitosa senza moquette (per fortuna!). Bella l'idea di mettere dei tavoli con due sedie fuori dall'uscio per ammirare il panorama. Bagno con doccia (come avevo chiesto), dotato di set di cortesia. Manca la TV. Prezzo elevato.

Gelegentlich sind die hier möglichen 5 Sterne einfach zu wenig. Das La Chiusa hat eine sensationelle Lage, umgeben von einem Olivenhain, mit eine Postkartenblick auf Montepulciano. Die Zimmer sind rustikal eingerichtet, das Badezimmer mit Whirl-Wanne ist besonders hervorzuheben. Das Restaurant bietet eine kleine, aber sehr feine Auswahl an Speisen, die auf hohem Niveau angeboten werden. Das Service (Danke Laureen) ist sehr gut ausgebildet und dazu noch überaus herzlich. Frühstück mit ausreichender Auswahl gibt es vom Buffet. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Freundlichkeit des gesamten Personals. Und wie schon Anfangs erwähnt: Wenn alles passt, dann sind 5 Sterne zu wenig. Wir kommen jedenfalls wieder.
