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

Peaceful olive grove site, great views & Siena bus links. Staff, restaurant, pitches rated well. But, dated loos (cleanliness/function issues), and pool's a trek.

Liked Ich finde eigentlich keine positiven Worte

Disliked Sehr grenzwertige Sanitäranlagen ohne Seife und Klopapier. Von den Stellplätzen gibt es kaum Beleuchtung zu den Sanitäranlagen. Die Dame an der Rezeption konnte kein Englisch. WLAN geht auf den Stellplätzen nicht.

From the manager: Dear customer,
We're sorry you didn't enjoy your stay. The service we offer is a break surrounded by nature. The Wi-Fi works in the restaurant and reception, which are less than 30 meters from the pitches, and when there are a lot of people online, the signal struggles to reach the pitches. The pitches and services are perfectly suited to the very reasonable price we charge.
Best regards

The Wi-Fi works at the reception and restaurant, but during busy periods when there are many people online, the signal struggles to reach the pitches. Furthermore, we believe the services are perfectly suited to the price we charge.

Liked Stellplatz ist für eine Nacht okay. Nah an der Straße, kein WLAN, nette Vermieter, im Olivenhain wären schöne Plätze, die aber nur für mehrere Übernachtungen angeboten werden. Die Lage zu Siena ist sehr gut

Disliked Die Sanitäranlagen sind unter aller Würde! Durch einen dunklen Gang hinterm Haus zu erreichen. Toiletten sind ekelhaft und die Duschen abartig.
Die Nacht für 30€ überteuert.
Entsorgung ist offen mitten unter den Stellplätzen

From the manager: Dear customer,
The restrooms are perfectly functional for the price we asked. In the end, €30 per night to spend a night in the Siena hills surrounded by nature and in a quiet area, including electricity, a pool, drinking water, and public restrooms, seems like a very reasonable price.

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.
