High points: Wonderful spa with world-class therapists. Beautiful views over the Tuscan countryside. The top suites are frescoed and coffered-ceiling wonders. Low points: Low-quality mattress. Going from a place like Castiglion del Bosco to a place like Castello del Nero is bit like going from an Aman resort to Le Meurice. Both are wonderful, but you’re going from informality to... More

Its location is absolutely perfect as it is a short drive from Florence (free shuttle service), from San Gimignano and from Sienna. All the staff (lobby, restaurant, spa, bedroom, reception... ) are professional, kind and helpful, speak excellent English, French and fulfilled every request. We stayed in an Executive Double which was spacious, beautifully equipped and had view on the... More

A hidden gem just a 30 minute drive out of Florence - a cold front came in right as we arrived, so I cannot imagine how it would be if able to sit out by the gorgeous pool, etc! More

We stayed 5 nights, on a Stay 5 Pay 4 package. The hotel, rooms, restaurant, grounds, pool, gym, bar, service, etc were all typical of a 5-6 star hotel. Our room had a high-ceiling, cute windows overlooking the spectacular view, huge bathroom and bathtub with a view. You could not fault this property, however you are paying for this and... More

This beautiful boutique hotel is located a short drive from Florence and has a compilmentry shuttle service into Florence. All staff were obliging and spoke excellent English. We lashed out on a suite and were surprised at the shear size of it. All the rooms were of generous proportions and beautifully equipped. We requested a non smoking pet free room... More

Upon arrival we were pleasantly surprised to be offered an upgrade of our room which was spacious, tastefully decorated, very clean and had breathtaking views. We... More

We stayed here for 11 days in Sept. 2011. We loved the hotel, the views are fantastic and the staff were lovely(especially Daniel, the pool attendant), We had a great room with an amazing view (which we had requested). We found the food poor - lacking in choice and expensive. One definitely needs a car as there are no local... More

We stayed here as part of our 2 week honeymoon through Italy and had booked the best of the best throughout the country. With that said, the hotel is breathtakingly beautiful and the guest rooms are exquisite. The spa is top of the line and truly the best we have ever been to in the world. The massages were excellent,... More
