    The food was fantastic. The views were phenomenal. Unfortunately, we did not realize we would need a taxi or car to get there. The staff called a cab to help us at the train station, and the driver was lovely.

The structure where Il Segreto di Pietrafitta is located is originally from 1490, and its was recently restored in order to provide all modern comforts, while at the same time keeping a magical atmosphere given by the original architectural elements, such as the wood beamed ceilings and the Tuscan clay floors.

The huge swimming pool is located right in front of the town's towers, and will leave unforgettable memories, especially during the sunsets, an almost surreal view that our guests get to appreciate.
