  • Peaceful terraced site with spectacular views over Tuscan countryside
  • Siena and Monteriggioni 15 minutes’ drive; San Gimignano 40 minutes
  • Swimming pool and pre-booked meals available; regular buses to Siena
An agriturismo break surrounded by the splendid scenery of rural Tuscany – but in a location that will allow you to get out easily to explore all those pretty towns, cities and villages you’ve seen gorgeous pics of? Agriturismo Il Sambuco has the answer – this peaceful spot is on the edge of the sleepy village of Uopini in the Tuscan hills, with lovely views all around. It’s all run on sustainable lines, and has pitches scattered across terraces among olive trees to give everyone the best possible backdrop. All of that means this place has a wonderfully rural atmosphere – and yet it’s only 15 minutes’ drive from Siena, with its famed shell-shaped piazza and handsome medieval architecture. Even better, a bus stop 200 metres from the site has hourly services running to the city. Other top spots like Castellina in Chianti and San Gimignano are also within striking distance here – and even Florence is doable, as it’s about an hour’s drive away. In between all those urban adventures, you’ll be able to explore the local landscapes by hitting hiking and bike trails or visiting vineyards. If your idea of Tuscan heaven is lazing by the pool, well, you can do that too, as the site’s swimming pool is available between the hours of 9am and 6pm. Barbecues are welcome on the pitches, but as this place is an agriturismo you can also pre-book tasty and healthy meals made with zero-mile produce from the vegetable garden. Other facilities on site include wifi, hot showers and a chemical disposal point, plus a dog park for your four-legged pals to have a run around.

What customers say

Amidst olive trees, it's a stunner with a peaceful vibe. Great location, grub, and staff got raves. BUT, the loos are ancient, basic, and knackered (no seats/paper). The pool's a trek, a bit dodgy, and not flash.

Liked Le cadre( les oliviers), l accès en bus au cœur de sienne en moins de 20 minutes
Dommage que la piscine manque d entretien.

Disliked Je n ai jamais vu des sanitaires aussi lugubres ( dans un sous sol )et mal entretenu
Compliqué de prendre une douche avec une porte qui ne ferme pas et avec une lumière qui s éteint en permanence; donc dans le noir , quand aux wc..............Pas eu envie du coup de tester le reste, notamment le restaurant ...........mauvaise image directe....

Liked Easy check in.

Disliked No electricity on check out, bathroom could be better.

From the manager: Gentile cliente, ci dispiace per il disguido creatosi al check out. La corrente elettrica è stata tolta a tutto il paese per un guasto non dipeso da noi. I servizi igienici sono funzionali per il prezzo proposto. Cordiali saluti.

Super Platz um die Ruhe zwischen den Olivenbäumen zu genießen.

Liked Dieser Platz ist in der Umgebung von Siena wohl unschlagbar! Mitten im Olivenhain ohne störende Beleuchtung oder unnötigen Schnick- Schnack ist alles geboten, was man braucht. Sehr nette Gastgeber, sehr gutes Essen und zusätzlich Köstlichkeiten aus der Region. Und zum Glück dank der sehr einfachen Infrastruktur auch nicht besiedelt von den üblichen Wohnmobilmonstern.
Guter Ausgangspunkt für einen Besuch in Siena. Bushaltestelle ganz in der Nähe.

Liked Bella piazzola

Disliked Agriturismo camuffato da camping , bagni indecenti senza luce nei vialetti

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Gentile cliente ci fa piacere che la piazzola vi sia piaciuta , ma questo non è bastato.
I bagni vengono puliti due volte al giorno dal nostro staff, le luci nel corridoio iniziale non possiamo metterle per via delle camere adiacenti. Ci dispiace se il nostro sito non vi è piaciuto.

Nous avons raccourci le séjour de 4 à 2 jours

Sanitaires très vétustes et sales.

From the manager: Gentile cliente ci fa piacere che vi è piaciuta la piazzola nell'oliveta.
I bagni vengono puliti due volte al giorno , per il prezzo molto competitivo più di questo non possiamo offrire. La manutenzione viene fatta tutti gli anni, se l'estetica non è stata gradita ci dispiace.

This is a low rated site in my opinion compared to others in Italy

Liked Nothing

Disliked The fact that the staff would not acknowledge our arrival and just sat looking at us and other new arrivals as thay were on siestaand the pool is a long way from site up a very steep bank across a very dangerous and busy mai road

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Gentile cliente, ci dispiace se ha percepito il disinteresse da parte dei proprietari , cercano di dare sempre il meglio per i clienti. La piscina è a 200 metri dall'agriturismo, siamo a conoscenza del disagio , ma non possiamo fare altrimenti. Abbiamo fatto richiesta delle strisce pedonali ma non è stato possibile.

Liked Gyönyörű környezet, farmház ciprusokkal, a sátorhelyek az olajfaligetben. A medencéhez sétálni kell, de az is olajfák között kiváló környezetben helyezkedik el.

Disliked Nem volt wc ülőke és wc papír.

Local attractions

Siena (15 minutes’ drive) surely has to be your first stop – exploring the Piazza del Campo, climbing the Torre del Mangia and visiting the cathedral and Pinacoteca Nazionale. San Gimignano (40 minutes), a hilltop town known for its numerous towers, is often next on the list – or perhaps the lesser-known (but still lovely) Monteriggioni (15 minutes). In fact, there are lots of fabulous towns and villages around here to visit – each with their own character. Wine-producing Castellina in Chianti and the ‘town of crystal’ Colle di Val d’Elsa (both 20 minutes) are a couple of the better-known options, but stops in smaller places often bring rewards of good food, local wine and scenic views. If you have a bit more time, plan days out in Florence and Volterra – both are around an hour’s drive away and full of great things to see and do.
