Truly in the countryside next to the fields, the local church, and the wine vats, yet enjoying the privacy and comfort of our own apartment with terrazza, this was a sublime experience! Close to well-known Tuscan hill towns by car, this was a welcome retreat from the rigours of touring. Staff went above and beyond to ensure our well-being. Clean,... More

Going to Tuscany was one of the most anticipated stops on our travels through Italy, which included Cinque Terra and Venice. Tenuta di Mensanello not only met our expectations, but far and away exceeded them. It was the type of place that I'd like to exclusively come back to and just spend a lazy week on the grounds and exploring... More

We stayed here for a week. The general tenor of the entire tenuta is 'run down' with lots of decrepit buildings, old machinery etc. There are many apartments, some with views, others like ours, overlooking a small courtyard.Our one bedroom apartment was spotlessly clean, but very basic- bed was OK, bathroom ( shower only) functional ( hot water OK) and...

I cannot say enough about the wonderful experience my family of 4 (2 teenage daughters, wife and myself) and our friend and her teenage daughter had at the Tenuta di Mensanello. The apartments are clean, spacious and easily accommodated the 6 of us. The bathrooms were fine and the amenities were all that we needed for cooking our own meals.... More

My wife and I and four teenagers 16-18 years old, stayed in the very, very spacious main building of the tenuta. A few hundred meters from the main building there are two other houses in real tuscany style. We enjoyed the real tuscany life, the lovely setting, the pool and the surroundings. In the restaurant they cooke typical tuscany food,... More

Mensanello was a delightful place, with friendly staff and a wonderful restaurant serving home cooked, home grown regional foods (open saturday and sunday nights only). The apartments were simple but clean and comfortable. The gardens were shady and the big pool was a god-send in the hot weather particularly with pre-teen kids. Quiet surrounding countryside, and short drives to local... More

Our week stay at Tenuta was one we will always remember. We had a three bedroom, two bathroom apartment that was very modern and spotless atop an ancient barn, with views overlooking the Tuscan hills. Perfect! Though it was around 90 degrees most days, the apartment was very comfortable due to its thick stucco walls. The beautiful pool area is... More

I stayed at Tenuta the third week in may with my girlfriend, her family, and our best friend. This place was amazing. Our 3 bedroom apartment was great. It was extremely spacious, even by american standards. Two bathrooms and a bathtub were real luxuries compared to most places. Very peaceful, yet close enough to Siena and Firenze for exciting day...

This review is one year and a half overdue. But the memories of our stay at Mensanello are still vivid -- a family of 4 (two children 4 and 7), a second family of friends (with one 7 year old child), plus another couple. The two families ended up prolonging the stay from one week to 10 days. The setting... More
