The Trebbiolo Relais in Pontassieve, open April–August.
Perched above the Arno River valley in Pontassieve, this Tuscan hotel commands sweeping views across rolling vineyards and cypress-dotted hillsides.
Stone terraces and period architecture frame the landscape where Chianti wine country unfolds toward distant ridges.
The property's elevated position creates natural sight lines that transform both ceremony and reception spaces into panoramic settings.
I recommend you avoid this hotel! We stayed here when walking along the Via degli Dei as it is about a 25 minute detour from the trail. We did enjoy the swimming pool but that was about the only nice thing about this place. Our room was in a separate building slightly down the road. As other reviews have mentioned, the room was quite dated and also not very clean. Worst of all, it didn't have wi-fi! What hotel (especially "4 star") doesn't have wi-fi in the room in 2023? The staff confirmed they didn't offer wi-fi in the room, and the wi-fi signal could only be accessed at the reception. Because it is in the middle of nowhere the only food option was the hotel restaurant. We paid €30 for our meals which were probably the most disappointing food we had in Italy (vegetable pasta served cold). Also the included breakfast was only slices of cakes and coffee - no international breakfast items or anything savoury were offered. Not the breakfast you want for a day of hiking. Finally, the staff were rude and unhelpful. When we arrived at the restaurant they just started bringing the food over without any explanation of our options or what was on the set menu of the day. They also got annoyed when I checked in as I'd used a booking app, and annoyed again when I asked about the wi-fi signal. Basically whenever I asked for anything they seemed annoyed. They clearly didn't want to be bothered - so I think you should respect their wishes, and stay at a different hotel.
