We stayed at Al Gelso Bianco in April of 2012. From the moment we arrived we knew we had made the right selection. The entire staff is a pleasure to be around, truly service oriented. We especially recommend the cooking classes and private chef service they offer. Susanna (the chef) is an amazing cook, and went out of her way... More

The place is indeed a nice spot of paradise in Chianti. We loved being able to reach San Gimignano, Florence, Siena and the Chianti-Classico villages all within half an hour's drive. As a small family, we stayed in the smallest apartment "Rosmarino" with our baby and it was very pleasant, although not extremely spacious. We liked being somewhat apart from... More

Al Gelso Bianco is a more than perfect place to stay in Tuscany. It has excellent location, you can easily get to all major attractions. Siena, Florence, Chianti villages are short drive from there. The accommodation is superb - traditional little houses with a modern design inside. The owners are wonderful. Irene is an excellent guide for sightseeing but also... More

We had the best time. We took over the property with 6 other families for my 40th birthday- 13 kids and 14 adults. Everyone there was amazing- so helpful and nice. The property and housing is immaculate and everywhere you look, you feel you are in a painting- gorgeous!. We can not wait to come back!

Al Gelso Bianco is a beautiful Tuscan retreat. We stayed there for five nights. Their food, and home made wine and olive oil are great. We also took a cooking class - I can't wait to make my own pasta now! The crew at Al Gelso treats you like family. It was great waking up in the morning and running... More

We have stayed with Irene several times, bringing different friends each time. Each time we return, Irene, Stefania, Paulo, etc... make us feel more and more like members of their family, or at least members of a very special cadre of their friends. Irene has always gone out of her way, before, during and even after our stays to make... More

We stayed at Al Gelso Bianco for a long weekend in June 2011 with our 4 young children. We could not have asked for a better resort! The setting is picturesque, the grounds impeccably cared for. You can tell the owners take much pride in their resort. Our apartment was clean, spacious and very well decorated. We had a wonderful... More
