Le Casine di Castello

FAQ

Twelve years ago, I (a Milanese city girl!) vacationed at Agriturismo Cretaiole and met Carlo Moricciani. Two years later I married him and moved to Pienza to raise our family and to become part of the Cretaiole business. Now, I am happy to be expanding into my own business and offering to you a chance to really live as a Tuscan, a week at a time, and sharing with you my love and passion for this ancient, civilized land of beauty and tradition.

My philosophy for my work stems from my belief that to LOVE a place is to KNOW a place. So, my mission is to help you really understand and experience this land while you are here—not as a tourist, but as someone who lives here among its people, taking in its authentic day-to-day traditions.

I guarantee my guests an experience that they will never forget!
