Nestled among the hills that separate Tuscany and Umbria, at the foot of the majestic Castello di Pierle, lies the charming Agriturismo Rocca di Pierle, an elegant and authentic retreat where time seems to pass more slowly. The ancient stone farmhouse, restored with great respect for its original architecture, retains the allure of traditional Tuscan rural homes, combined with modern comfort and a strong commitment to environmental sustainability.

With only three apartments, this place offers exclusive and intimate hospitality. Each accommodation is independent, tastefully furnished, and equipped with a full kitchen, living area, private bathroom, and dedicated outdoor spaces. Some feature loggias or panoramic terraces, providing stunning views of the harmonious Val di Pierle, surrounded by forests, olive groves, and cultivated fields. Guests wishing to share the experience with friends or family can book the entire villa, enjoying complete privacy in the farmhouse and its garden.

The outdoor spaces are expansive and well-maintained: the 5,000 m² English garden features shaded areas, relaxing corners, and a panoramic swimming pool with a stone sun terrace, perfect for soaking in the tranquility of the countryside. The "Cambusa," a renovated ancient outbuilding, serves as the social hub of the agriturismo: it welcomes guests for breakfast with homemade pastries, as well as for lunches and dinners upon request or for moments of gathering. Here, guests can also participate in Tuscan cooking classes, tastings of local wines and olive oil, or customized culinary experiences.

Andrea and Silvia, the hosts, warmly welcome every guest with kindness and availability. Andrea manages hospitality and excursions, while Silvia, a cooking enthusiast, prepares typical dishes made with organic ingredients and local produce. Their attention to detail and desire to share the true essence of Tuscany make every stay an authentic and memorable experience.

Situated at an elevation of 500 meters above sea level and just 16 km from Cortona, the location offers a pleasant climate even in summer and allows easy access to some of the most enchanting destinations in central Italy: Montepulciano, Pienza, Siena, Perugia, Assisi, Gubbio, and Lake Trasimeno. The nearby Terontola station provides convenient connections to Florence and Rome.

Rocca di Pierle is a place where nature, elegance, and hospitality blend harmoniously, offering a charming stay that exudes authenticity and a sense of home.
Rooms and Rates
Breakfast at Rocca di Pierle is a time of tranquility and authenticity, designed to kick off the day in the most enjoyable way. Each morning, it is prepared upon request, allowing guests to select their preferred menu and the time they wish to have it the night before.

All dishes are made with homemade products and carefully chosen local ingredients: freshly baked cakes and cookies, artisanal jams, local honey, fresh yogurt, crusty bread, and seasonal fruit. For those who prefer a savory breakfast, there are also cheeses, cured meats, and eggs cooked to order.

On milder days, breakfast is served outdoors on the panoramic terrace overlooking the valley and the pool, where the peacefulness of the countryside and the aroma of coffee create the perfect atmosphere to start the day with calmness.
Rocca di Pierle does not have a public restaurant, but it offers an exclusive dining service only for guests staying at the property. Dinners, which require a reservation, are prepared by Silvia, who personally crafts each dish with passion and expertise.

Her cuisine is rooted in respect for Tuscan and Umbrian traditions, reinterpreted with a light touch and a focus on seasonal ingredients. Each dish highlights local and organic ingredients sourced from nearby farms: homemade pasta, carefully selected meats, garden-fresh vegetables, and locally produced extra virgin olive oil.

Dinners can be served in the "Cambusa," a warm and elegant space perfect for sharing convivial moments, or on the panoramic terrace, surrounded by the tranquility of the countryside. Customized menus and wine tastings can also be requested, allowing guests to enjoy an intimate and authentic culinary experience without leaving their accommodation.

Hey, I'm Andrea

My name is Andrea, and along with my wife Silvia, I have been managing the Agriturismo Rocca di Pierle for over eleven years. We live here, amidst the hills we cherish deeply, and every day we pour our passion and dedication into welcoming our guests as if they were friends. I personally handle the reception, activities, and excursions, while Silvia takes care of the cooking with creativity and a focus on local ingredients. We love to share with our visitors the authentic simplicity of country life, characterized by natural rhythms, scents, and genuine flavors. For those who truly wish to discover the essence of this land, we organize Tuscan cooking classes, tastings of local wine and olive oil, and special dinners prepared by Silvia upon request. Each experience is designed to offer our guests not just a relaxing vacation, but a small piece of Tuscany felt with the heart.

Area Campagna

The Val di Pierle is a charming and relatively undiscovered valley located on the border between Tuscany and Umbria, where nature and history exist in perfect harmony. Surrounded by forests, olive groves, and ancient stone villages, the valley is dominated by the majestic Castello di Pierle, which preserves its timeless and authentic atmosphere. From this vantage point, one can take in a gentle and harmonious landscape made up of hills that change color with each season and small towns where life moves at a leisurely pace.

Just a few kilometers away lies Cortona, an ancient Etruscan city that captivates visitors with its cobblestone streets, Renaissance palaces, and breathtaking views over the Valdichiana and Lake Trasimeno. Its artisan shops, restaurants, and art galleries reflect the true spirit of Tuscany. In less than half an hour, you can also reach Lake Trasimeno, with its lakeside villages and islands that can be explored by boat, making it a perfect spot for walks, water sports, or simply enjoying a sunset by the lake.

The location of the Rocca di Pierle also makes it easy to explore extraordinary places such as Montepulciano, Pienza, Siena, Gubbio, Perugia, and Assisi, all reachable in just over an hour. Nature lovers will find numerous hiking trails and scenic routes among the hills and forests surrounding the valley, perfect for trekking, mountain biking, or simply rejuvenating walks.

Between excursions and cultural visits, it is easy to be enchanted by the local cuisine: extra virgin olive oil, fine wines, cheeses, and artisanal cured meats reflect a land rich in traditions and authentic flavors. Val di Pierle is a place that welcomes visitors with warmth and discretion, inviting them to slow down and rediscover the joy of life’s simple pleasures.
