Overview

Casa di Lilli is a small 2 storeyed house located next to the romantic chapel of Vivo d’Orcia. It was fully restored in 2004 and turned into a charming retreat for two.

You enter the house through French windows which lead into the sole room on the ground floor - the living dining kitchen. This room has a comfortable sofa, a proper dining table and a kitchen line covered with a solid slab of the local travertine.

On the first floor lie bedroom and en-suite bathroom. French windows lead onto a small balcony with steps down into the walled-in orchard of the estate. The house is equipped with tables and chairs for dining outside.

The pool of the estate is 2 minutes on foot from the house.

wir sind aus Italien zurück und ich wollte mich ganz herzlich bei Ihnen bedanken für Ihre ausgezeichnete Empfehlung. Die Casa di Lilli war einfach "too cute for words", der Aufenthalt ein Traum und die gewundene Straße nicht schlimmer als die anderen Straßen in der Umgebung. Jonathan war sehr nett und hilfsbereit, und das Essen, das wir für den Mittwochabend bestellt haben, war köstlich. Ich hoffe, wir können bei einer anderen Gelegenheit wiederkommen und werde Trust & Travel auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen. Mit freundlichen Grüßen.

Casa Lilli and the whole estate of Vivo D'Orcia is absolutely beautiful. Jonathan who met us and showed us around is charming and friendly. Casa Lilli is very well set up and comfortable. The information you provided was excellent, the history of the hermitage and castle, places to visit, restaurants near by.. all this was also in the house, but it was good to read before we went. I would unhesitatingly look for another of your properties on my next visit to Europe, for the high quality of the properties. As well, I found your staff to be very helpful, and would have no hesitation in recommending your agency to others. Regards.

Wir haben die Ferientage in der Toskana genossen – Landschaft, Kultur, die mittelalterlichen Städte, die Ruhe in Vivo d’Orcia haben uns begeistert. 14 Tage Wärme und südliches Klima tun richtig gut. Dies wird nicht unser letzter Aufenthalt in der Toskana sein.

After 17 hours of roads and traffic, a warm welcome awaited us, including splendid Tuscany cooking and wine. What a way to start our holiday! The surroundings are beautiful; give instant peace of mind and relax you. We’ve been to Tuscany before, but we’ve never seen anything like this. We visited Pienza, Montepulciano, Montalcino and many Fattoria’s where you can purchase tasteful bits of Tuscany! We very much enjoyed our stay in Casa di Lilly. With the olive oils and wines we take a bit of Tuscany, Vivo d’Orcia and Castello Cervini home with us! Grazie Mille, Arrivederci

Es war eine Zeitreise für uns. Casa di Lilly – Wir haben über Deinen Namen gelächelt! Wir fahren mit einem Lächeln wieder ab. Wir haben Dich geliebt und Dich gefürchtet! Der Aufenthalt hat uns Erholung gebracht, die wir gesucht haben. Die Geschichte dieses Hauses hat uns zum Nachdenken gebracht. Wir fahren nicht ohne an Euch zu denken. M.f.G.

Casa di Lilli looked like the perfect place to spend an unusual honeymoon, and so it proved to be. In mid-November we saw the sun shine on autumn leaves, found heaps of chestnuts on our doorstep and enjoyed a roaring fire in the fire place. From the dark wood furniture to the ancient telephone, the appliance in the bathroom, we have found Casa di Lilli to be the cutest hideaway we could image. Our stay was rounded off by an amazing landscape in the Val d’Orcia, not to mention the delicious meal deliveried to our door on Wednesday night. Our compliments to the cook, it was perfectly wonderful, especially the spinach-ricotta ravioli and the tiramisu. Grazie mille for a memorable stay!

Die casa di Lilli ist der schönste Ort ist, an dem ich jemals Zeit verbracht habe.  Die Ruhe ist so unglaublich intensiv, mit der Energie des Vulkans gemischt, und dem sooo gemütlich hergrichtetem Haus. Die unbeschreibliche Ruhe, umgeben von einer mir unbekannten Natur mit den wunderbaren Edelkastanien und Eichen, dem Licht und Schatten den sie spenden.  Tagelang fuhr ich einfach nicht weg, weil es so unbeschreiblich schön war.  Sobald ich kann, fahre ich sicher wieder hin. 
EinHighlight war der Besuch in Castello di Potentino, wo ich mich mit Chris und Charlotte sofort verstanden habe.  Wir hätten sicher bis Mitternacht interessant sprechen können.  Aber ich war auch in La Foce und sehr begeistert.  Gott sei Dank nur wenig Touristen.
Ich sehe die Wiese vor meinem Haus, die uralten Kastanien und Nussbaeume, das Tal mit dem vielen Ginster, die Rufe der Rehe, die tausende Kuckuks (glaube mittlerweile dass das Val d’Orcia der Welt-Treffpunkt dieser Vögel ist ….), und Wildschweine die irgendwo herumgraben.
Johnathan war ganz reizend.  Am letzten Abend hatten wir ein wirklich nettes gespräch, ich hatte mittlerweile sein sehr eindrucksvolles Buch gelesen.

We just returned from our stay at Casa di Lilli in Vivo D'Orcia and we are already homesick... And we are at home! Casa di Lilli felt like our little Tuscan home for us (me, my wife Angella and our 1 1/2 year old son Storm). Too bad it only lasted for one week.. The Tuscan weather was in favor of us and we visited wonderful places, tasted the local flavors and enjoyed the Tuscan hospitality. And talking about local flavors. Our arrival dinner at the house provided by the local restaurant I Lecci was absolutely great. So we finished our stay again with a dinner at their beautiful restaurant. But we also enjoyed our evenings with a roaring fire in the big fireplace accompanied by some good local wine & cheese. What could you wish for more?! Last, but not least, we would like to thank Alessandra for her warm welcome, fast acting on & solving of an encountered problem (water heating) and regularly checking upon us with good advice. It's for sure that we will be back at the Cervini Estate!
