Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers superior quality rooms with a small lounge area, recommended for their excellent condition, though slightly small for the rate. The service is exceptional, pampering guests like royalty with a range of convenient amenities. The location is ideal for either relaxation or exploring the Tuscany countryside, though prices can be high. The dining experience is lovely but closes early without warning. Overall, a luxurious stay with minor room size concerns and dining scheduling issues.
I couldn't believe the gorgeous views in every direction from the rooms, not at all like I had seen on the booking site. The hotel upgraded us for our special event, and it felt like a whole village experience. However, the price was a bit high for what was offered.
The hotel offers an odd-shaped, somewhat small room facing the outdoor pools and gym, but with a great bathroom. The staff at the 1000-year-old castle location is top-notch, always available, and warm. The Tuscan landscape provides a tired yet charming setting to explore. The dining experience at La Cantina is delightful, with an upscale touch.
