“Out of the 13 accessible Tuscan villas that Tiffany and I inspected, this was our favorite.
Next time we go to southern Tuscany, this is where we will stay.” – John Sage
The Accessible Tuscany Agriturismo near Montalcino is located inside the Val d’Orcia valley which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Extracted from the UNESCO website:
“The Val d’Orcia is an exceptional reflection of the way the landscape was re-written in Renaissance times to reflect the ideals of good governance and to create an aesthetically pleasing pictures.
The landscape of the Val d’Orcia was celebrated by painters from the Siennese School, which flourished during the Renaissance. Images of the Val d’Orcia, and particularly depictions of landscapes where people are depicted as living in harmony with nature, have come to be seen as icons of the Renaissance and have profoundly influenced the development of landscape thinking.”
Note: Demand for this villa is extremely high so you should book 6 to 9 months in advance.

Accessibility Details
I gave this agriturismo a 4 Star Sage Accessibility Rating because it has a flat entrance to the building, wide doors, a roll-in shower, and a grab bar next to the toilet. It did not get a higher rating because it has a slope rather than flat access to the pool.
This accessible Tuscany agriturismo is separated from Montalcino by a 25 minute scenic drive and from Siena by a 45 minute scenic drive. It is located 1.7 miles (2.7 km) away from a highway so you won’t hear any automotive traffic here! A view of the entrance driveway and the surrounding hills is shown below.
The Accessible Tuscany Agriturismo near Montalcino has been restored to include 7 apartments, and one of them is wheelchair accessible. Outside of the entrance to the accessible apartment, there is a table on the patio with great views (shown on the left). The flat entrance into the apartment is shown on the right.
Inside the entrance of this accessible agriturismo in Tuscany, there is a living room (shown below) which has a kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom connecting to it.
There is flat access into the kitchen. It has a stove, oven, sink, and refrigerator,
The bedroom in this accessible apartment has double bed and a single bed. Three people can sleep in this apartment. If you have more than three people, other apartments in the same building can be rented.
There is space on both sides of bed for a wheelchair user.
The bathroom in this Tuscany accessible agriturismo has a roll-in shower
A grab bar is located next to the toilet and there is enough space for a wheelchair to fit on the left side of the toilet. The sink is high enough for a wheelchair user’s knees to roll underneath.
Like many places in Tuscany a gravel driveway leads to the building. Wheelchair users can position their car very close to the pavement so they don’t have to roll a long distance over the gravel to reach the apartment.
A somewhat steep step-free path leads down to the pool…
…and it’s totally worth it!
A covered seating area is available at the far end of the pool.
