Il Miraggio in Val d'Orcia Relais & Spa

I wish we could give this place 6 stars, we truly had an unforgettable experience. We enjoyed our three nights immensely and would absolutely return in a heartbeat. Upon arrival, Mariana took the time to walk us around the property and at each turn was another breath taking view. We enjoyed relaxing at the gorgeous pool and an attendant was constantly checking to see if we needed anything (including our welcome drink we enjoyed lounging by the pool). The room we selected was extremely spacious and overlooked the pool and spa. The couch was a great place to enjoy a drink and the bed was extremely comfortable. We almost felt like royals with the decor and fancy furnishings. A few things to dive into further: Breakfast. The options for breakfast seem endless and everything tastes so fresh and homemade. I barely needed lunch we indulged so much during breakfast. We enjoyed meats, cheeses and a whole array of breads, along with fresh fruits, rotating pastries (croissants, muffins, etc.). It was probably the best breakfast we had during our two weeks in Italy. Special shout out to Luca, the master of pretty much everything at the hotel! He was our waiter in the morning, worked at the bar the night before. He was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and just an overall gem of a human being. We loved chatting with him about his family and the local area since he was from the area. Dinner. Our compliments to the chef. Everything was just singing on our palette no matter what we tried. We started with the burrata and tomato appetizer which was so fresh. Even something as simple as their breadsticks were the SO flavorful and the best we tasted. For our mains, my mom got the homemade egg tagliatelle with ragù sauce and I got the gnocchi special in a homemade red sauce. Both were phenomenal. Our waiter, Lorenzo, paired our meals with wines which were the perfect accompaniment. It was a little on the pricy side, but given how delicious everything it was highly worth it. The spa. Please I beg of you, if you are going to try anything at this wonderful hotel, please try the spa. Irina is an angel of a human and so incredibly passionate about what she does and it shows in her work. I’ll be honest I had never done the sauna / ice bath experience and was a bit of a skeptic. Irina walked us through exactly what each benefit was to each service and then you essentially get the spa to yourselves for an hour. I went with the “relax” option and my body felt so wonderful after this spa treatment. It was so good we went back everyday. We also had booked a massage and Irina provided frankly the best massage of my life. I felt like a new woman leaving there, Irina really tailored the massage to my liking and I could have cried tears of joy walking out, my body was relieved of all the tension and knots that come with traveling. My mom has some trouble with one of her legs going numb, Irina not only provided her with a cream to stimulate the area but my mom left her massage i

Il Miraggio has to be one of our most favourite hotel stays, anywhere in the world! This is an absolutely stunning property, handled with care and the kind of service that makes you feel truly special. My husband had injured his ankle in Rome and hence we had very little mobility and spent 90% of time at the hotel, they were amazingly accommodative and caring! The rooms are beautiful, the staff (special mention to Lorenzo and Lucca) is very friendly and helpful, the food is fresh and delicious, the spa is blissful! The views from this hotel are stunning and we were treated to many a wonderful sunsets ! They also arranged a wine tasting and lunch for us nearby. Please note- taxis are very very hard to come by and most people had their own cars, Overall, an absolutely wonderful stay and we can’t wait to come again !

Wonderful small hotel in Tuscany wine country, Convenient to major roads and about 3-hour drive from Rome airport. The rooms are nice and very clean, the grounds are beautiful with spectacular views of the Tuscan hills. Just outside of town (5-minute walk) with several restaurants and within 30 minute drive of several of the busier "more famous" Val D'Orcia towns. The staff (thank you Lorenzo & Luca!) is incredibly friendly and helpful. The breakfasts are excellent and the dinner was very special. Suggest you book ahead for dinner and check on the menu, as the food is excellent but due to it being a small restaurant, the choices are limited. Very attentive to gluten free for all meals.
