We had the privilege of staying last November at Grazia and Riccardo's beautiful agriturismo. Grazia was overflowing with hospitality from the moment we arrived until we left. We were the only guests that weekend in November and we felt more like personal friends by how we were treated. The breakfast table was set with delicious food by Grazia. One night... More

Once you get over the stunning location, beautiful rooms, vast grounds and views over the Tuscan hills that form the surface of Podere Picciolo you'll find the people who for me epitomise everything that I love about this part of the world. Grazia is an amazing soul, host, chef and (now) friend...she made us feel at home from the start... More

We had such a wonderful stay here with Grazia and Riccardo. We were welcomed so warmly and our 2 year old and 4 year old still talk about Grazia, they thought she was fantastic! We really felt like nothing was too much trouble and both Grazia and Riccardo went out of their way to make our stay as relaxing as... More

There are so many wonderful things about this property, it's hard to know where to start. The villa itself is superb (and authentic) with a kitchen right out of a Tuscan cookbook. The owners--Riccardo and Grazia--are two of the warmest people you could ever hope to meet and are always willing to help. The view, especially at sunset, is outstanding.... More

Grazia immediately connected with our daughter and made her feel welcome and introduced us to the other guests... More

This is a lovely restored villa in the middle of nowhere but still within easy travel of Florence, high on a hill with a great view of surrounding countryside. Very good value.

We are so glad of our 4 nights we spent at Il Picciolo while in Italy. Grazia & Riccardo were very gracious, accommodating, and friendly hosts. Lovely, quiet rooms. The property has wonderful views and they have many outside tables & chairs to sit outside and enjoy the view. Grazia is a wonderful cook so I highly recommend coming back... More
