La Bandita Townhouse

We stayed here for 1 night on our Tuscan road trip.Excellent service from start to finish,they just couldn't help you enough from our welcome to our departure & helping with directions.Great room,great food and excellent friendly staff.The owner introduced himself and took time out to chat with us.Great town to walk around too.Highly recommend.

Almost in the middle of charming Pienza you can find this gem. The Suite was great choice for the family with plenty of space. Awesome staff. Every day you get complimentary mini bar. The dinner there was really good. The location top. Would come here again.

Excellent boutique hotel in the center of Pienza. It only offers 12 rooms but the are well appointed and great accommodations. Walking distance to all Pienza has to offer. Hotel staff is wonderful especially Alessio and Valeria. The hotel restaurant is also very good and a good option. Highly recommended.

Ahhh, where to begin!? My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at the La Bandita Townhouse for 3 nights in early March. What a wonderful boutique hotel! The town of Pienza was the PERFECT home base for us to explore the Tuscan countryside and wine region of Italy! Set up high on a hill with stunningly beautiful views of the Val D'orcia, the hotel itself was once a convent which served its inhabitants for over 500 years! Our wonderful room featured stone walls, wood beamed ceilings and sunrise views! There is a delightful restaurant on site which served made to order breakfast as well as delicious dinners. Our waiter, Michael from Glasgow, always made us feel like friends joining him for a meal in his own home. The staff, (Valeria and Paula), were friendly, attentive to our every question or request, and even did a load of laundry for us free of charge! We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner of the property, Mr John Voigtmann, who took the time to introduce himself personally AND to make sure we were set up with a personal wine tasting at Podere Le Ripi (a fantastic local winery) and Il Casale (a working farm) for lunch! The town of Pienza was JUST the right size and easy to navigate. My wife and I are still day dreaming about our experience in Pienza. From the people to the accommodations to the views and the food! We will definitely be back and will recommend this hotel to anyone! Grazie Mille La Bandita Townhouse!!

Our private Tuscany townhouse! Note: We traveled the week leading into Christmas and the entire town and the neighboring areas were all very quiet. There were a few restaurants and shops open but the town itself was very empty, with no tourists (which was great for us). My husband discovered La Bandita in CN Traveler and we were so excited to check it out. It was the perfect destination for our holiday getaway. Paola and Alessio were very helpful with helping coordinate the trip. They helped with restaurant reservations and gave great recommendations of things to do. Ask them about the thermal baths/pools at Albergo Posat Marcucci - they'll help arrange and provide a voucher. We were upgraded to a bigger room (because we were the only ones there) which was really comfortable. The bathroom was large with the tub, a shower, and a heated drying rack. Great water pressure from the shower. The one downside was there was this musty smell throughout the room - I think it's because of the lack of air circulation throughout. There's a restaurant onsite that had amazing reviews but it was closed for the holiday. We'll have to go back. There is also a beautifully designed "living room" where they have a record player and records, games, books, and a bar - they offer free prosecco apertivo and then everything else on an honor system. We didn't get the full Bandita experience but will definitely be back.

I rarely ever write reviews, but this place was above and beyond all expectations and the highlight of our Tuscany trip. First of all, Pienza is amazing. Truly magical and not at all like anything in real life. My jaw was dropped the first 12 hours three just by the town alone. La Bandita Townhouse was equally amazing as Pienza. The hotel was intimate & immaculate. Rooms were very large, especially for European standards, and had every amenity needed or wanted. The “living room” common area was absolutely perfect. Restaurants closed early in town so it was the perfect place to hang out for another glass of wine with friends. And the book they supplied with of local tips was just what we needed. The restaurant was the best we had in all of Italy. The staff treated us like long friends. The food was next level, including dinner and especially the included breakfast. Can’t even begin to explain the deliciousness. Wish I could go back as we speak. Thank you La Bandita!!
