We had the most wonderful time staying at this beautiful hotel in the heart of Chianti. The staff are amazing, making me you feel at home straight away. We booked 7 standard rooms and stayed for four nights. My wife and I, as well as my family and friends who were also staying at the hotel all had an amazing experience. Great pool, delicious breakfast, perfect location. We loved it so much that on the flight home we have booked to stay again next year. See you in 2026 and thank you for looking after us so well.
