Agriturismo il Rigo

An honest review…. We booked this as the first stop on our honeymoon around Italy. Initially the location and the house is beautiful, it really is an authentic farmhouse. The staff seem friendly and the food was nice but nothing to write home about. In particular the breakfast was quite disappointing. Our room was charming but very basic. The massive issue we had was that there was no air conditioning and the room/ house seemed to heat up during the day and felt like a sauna. We could not sleep at all. There is no respite from the heat and in all honestly we considered leaving early because we could not get a second of sleep in our boiling hot room. This was not mentioned on the website, There is a lovely farm dog however he is constantly barking throughout the night as he sleeps outside, they do provide ear plugs in the room because of this. All in all we found our experience underwhelming compared to the reviews we read about it.

I booked this place because I read that it’s a ‘photographer dream’ and … it definitely was. Sunrises and sunsets are amazing here, truly breathtaking!||We appreciated the hospitality, the kindness (Neomi is truly 5 stars!) and the location which sets it apart from others. ||In the ‘I wish I could’ list there is:|- a/c. They gave us fans and those helped a lot. |- shampoo/conditioner. I appreciate the commitment to sustainability but the soap bar alone has limitations.|- dinner was unfortunately in line with the reviews. Absolutely amazing one night and meh the other. Nothing in between. It’s rolling the dice for €40. |- the room key. Oh the room key. I do love that this is an old and cherished farmhouse but the room key does not work unless you wake up everybody you are with while trying to get out. It’s so so soooo finicky and so so soooo loud. ||Bottom line: read the reviews, align your expectations and book it. It’s a photographer dream.

We just had a magic weddingparty over three days. Thx to Luisa, Matthias and the whole staff. You were amazing, just like friends. The location, the food, the service - excellent. We strongly recommend Il Rigo.

We had an incredible and unforgettable wedding weekend at Il Rigo! Luisa, Mathias, and the entire team made us and our guests feel so welcome. The property is breathtaking, with stunning views like something out of a painting. Every detail was perfectly planned, and their sustainability approach was a wonderful touch. The food, prepared from local produce, was delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and intimate. We highly recommend Il Rigo to anyone looking for a personal and unforgettable celebration!

We had dinner at this exceptional agriturismo, and what a night it was—like stepping into a different world. The place is incredibly authentic, family-owned, with a beautiful, warm, and romantic atmosphere. The food is crafted with love and passion. I can't recommend this dining experience enough.

Great stay in Val d’Orcia! The rooms are very comfortable and fresh even though we were in late August (no AC, only fans). The service is amazing. All the staff is very attentive, nice and helpful. The food is really delicious. Dinner set menu has really big portions. Everything is so tasty that just ended up eating it all. There’s a small cute pond in the property that you can’t miss. Also, the sunsets are amazing!! Location wise, you will be a short (20-30 min drive) from Pienza, Montepulciano, and all the key towns in Tuscany. Il Rigo has a little book (and on there website) on each room where they give you ideas of activities in the area. Really really amazing stay in Tuscany! Will definitely be back!

We only stopped there for dinner, but enjoyed our favourite meal of our Tuscany trip. Made up of locally sourced food and prepared by family members, we saw four courses of a “taster” menu that was delicious and filling. Because of the rain earlier in the day, everyone was sat inside in a rustic farmhouse environment. It was very intimate, with a handful of tables each individually lit, and our walk from the car park to the house led us through a beautiful arched garden. We emailed a week before we intended to dine and received a prompt reply the following morning. When we booked, we’d forgotten to mention a dietary requirement which would have stopped one of us from having the main course. However, they were very accommodating and were able to conjure up a delicious substitute at the last minute. The staff were warm and chatty. The taster menu was €35 per person (excluding drinks). We felt this was extremely reasonable for the quality and standard of food we had. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area!

Il Rigo is a magical place. It is set in the most beautiful part of the Val d’Orcia, near several charming Tuscan towns including Pienza and Montepulciano. We were lucky to visit in spring and the views all around the property were breathtaking, completely serene and peaceful. The rooms are simple but charmingly done and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. We had dinner two nights and found the food delicious. Il Rigo is an excellent base for walking and there was a large walking group staying while we were there. There are certainly fancier places to stay in Tuscany but the simple beauty of this family run farmhouse is in a class of its own.

Fantastic location. Simple place with breakfast and dinner to keep us from having to hunt down a restaurant. We were looking for a slower pace, relax and unwind. This place provided that to us. If you are looking for a swanky villa, go elsewhere. The price was fantastic, the view was stunning and there are great day trips from this spot. We visited in October. The meals were elegant, perfectly paired courses and stunning Michelin rated dining. The wine options were local and good. The walls were a bit thin but not too bad. The olive oil soap and shampoo were a lovely touch. The rooms were large and beds were comfortable. I don't have super high standards, I typically just need a place to hold my bags, shower and sleep. This spot provided all the necessities and so much more. Connect with the owners and staff. When you see the passion that they have for what they do, you appreciate what they have created at Il Rigo so much more. Cheers!
