Castellina in Chianti hotellia

Plussat: Pretty country location with a nice restaurant. The staff was very friendly and spoke several languages.

Miinukset: Restaurant had a limited menu for kids. We stayed in the apartment which wasn’t all that clean, it had a lot of spiders which bit our kids, and the rooms had a very unpleasant smell.

Plussat: The room was clean. Air condition was working. The staff was nice and gave us all information we needed or asked for. Breakfast was good.

Miinukset: The pool was not clean as it should be (nevertheless we spent great time bathing and swimming). Our general impression was that this hotel had seen better times in the past - more maintenance would make the whole property look much better.

Plussat: Great Location, very good breakfast, but drinks are a little expensive.

Miinukset: Pool was not so clean

Plussat: Everything was perfect! The wine tasting is really worth to try. We had a good family trip in Italy~

Plussat: Location

Plussat: The view, pool, restaurant and bar in the resort, old Tuscany house style. We had the flat with 3 rooms, 3 bathrooms, kitchenette and the private terrace outside garden, fabulous place !!

Miinukset: The beds are not very comfortable, quite hard ! Wifi not always working.

Plussat: We loved everything about this property!

Miinukset: We could hear conversations from the people in the next room. The walls seemed thin.

Plussat: Honors wine by glass system. Views. Grounds.

Miinukset: Room was small and noisy. Could hear people right outside our door and upstairs. Rest of the place was fantastic.

Plussat: Locanda Le Piazze had everything we were looking for in Tuscany. It is truly a magical place, property perfectly kept, it’s just like the pictures! It is surrounded by olive trees and vineyards. Staff is so friendly, rooms are elegant and the restaurant and food are outstanding. Ambience was so cozy and laid back. My husband and so fell in love with this place, can’t wait to go back!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: This is a perfect location in Tuscany. The views are simply amazing! The staff are also very friendly and help you with anything that you need. Finally, the restaurant has amazing food. Guido does an excellent job. They are just sneaky! The 5 course meal become 8 with the pre-appetizers and post desserts!

Plussat: Everything. It’s exceptional. Boutique in true sense.

Miinukset: I have to leave.

Plussat: In a word: perfection. In two words: top notch. This place is AMAZING. I wanted to move in!!! So beautiful. The room was clean, modern and cozy. The bed is VERY comfortable. The bathroom was clean and modern with a rain showerhead. That was just the room. The rest of the hotel? SO COZY! A lobby and bar that I wanted to curl up with a book and a glass of wine. The grounds? GORGEOUS. Olive groves, views of the rolling hills of Tuscany, and a nice-size pool. The restaurant? OUT OF THIS WORLD. Truly. EVERYTHING was made from scratch. The breakfast offered far exceeded any hotel breakfast I have ever had (or any breakfast I have ever had, period). Housemade preserves, housemade yogurt, housemade granola, housemade chocolate (yes), beautiful pastries, and housemade sausage (just some of the highlights). The dinner was outstanding as well. I cannot put into words how much I loved this place. While I was still there I was thinking about the next time I can come back! So relaxing--like a spa, but better. The staff was also very nice and accommodating. This place set the standard for which I will judge all other places.

Plussat: This hotel is fantastic and a wonderful option in the area! I can't say enough good things. The fully stocked honor bar at both the hotel and pool were a nice touch. The food at the restaurant was also great and the breakfast was lovely. The location is great being close to Sienna and other small towns in the Chianti region. The grounds of the property are beautiful and you can fully relax and disconnect!

Miinukset: We were there in the off season and my only very small suggestion would for the hotel to have some more recommendations for things to do in the area and other places to eat.

Plussat: This property is 5 star all the way. Beautiful, comfortable, elegant. Kitchen is fantastic as are the staff. Walking around the vineyards was lovely. So peaceful.

Miinukset: We loved everything!

Plussat: Loved this property! Super romantic with an amazing room! It was cozy, everything was beautiful, well decorated and we even had a chance to have a free wine tasting experience of the local wine from the owners. The staff recommended a great restaurant nearby and breakfast was great too. Everything looks like it appears in the pictures.

Miinukset: Everything was great, no complaints.

Plussat: Staff was great and we enjoyed the mid evil feel of the village.

Miinukset: The rooms were dark.

Plussat: We had a lovely stay, its such a beautiful location, with the most fantastic restaurant. We did the winery tour and it was great, everyone was great. Rooms are really nice and big.

Miinukset: Only thing we felt was missing was tea / coffee making facilities - we get up ridiculously early so it would've been nice to have been able to make a coffee whilst waiting for the restaurant to open.

Plussat: The room was amazing!

Miinukset: The hot water ran out quickly.

Plussat: Breakfast was good - however, they were purging the septic system and pumping it out in front of the breakfast area during breakfast time - the smell was horrific and ruined any appetite. They should have rescheduled the septic cleaning.

Miinukset: There was mold in the shower in our room, there was no covering on the bathroom window. Purging the septic system during the meal time for breakfast completely ruined breakfast.

Plussat: Loved the charm, character, location, everything! The breakfasts each day in the Osteria were fantastic and the staff were all friendly, helpful and amazing

Miinukset: It wasn’t well advertised that you couldn’t eat in the restaurant certain nights at the booking stage. Last check in time is quite early so had to go back out after to source food.

Plussat: Upon our arrival, we were offered a complementary glass of wine, the receptionist shielded us from the rain with umbrella to the very entrance of the room. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff, made us look forward to the next time at Castello di Fonterutoli. Wonderful restaurant for both dinner and breakfast.

Plussat: Very nice place Breakfast is delicious. The hotel restaurant has really good italian fusion food.

Plussat: Many stays here - always enjoy wonderful food and fabulous staff and owners - very accommodating

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Beautiful residence located in a peaceful area. There are two pools, a library and a really nice restaurant that serves delicious food. We stayed 5 nights and will definately go back.

Miinukset: - maybe some local jams would be nice for breakfast rather than the commercial brands served in plastics. But other than that the breakfast is really nice !

Plussat: Enthusiastic friendly staff, nice pools

Plussat: Great garden and pool, classic stone buildings , nicely renovated.

Miinukset: We had a junior suite which was spacious but the bathroom was tiny. 1 espresso coffee per person at breakfast? Limited fresh fruit selection for this standard of property.

Plussat: the cappuccino was excellent. the coffee was only fair.

Miinukset: more electrical outlets

Plussat: Quiet, away from towns, but still close and easy to get everywhere quickly. Beautiful view from our balcony.

Miinukset: The percolator coffee at breakfast needs work, it’s much too weak. Fortunately we had an espresso per person included with breakfast.

Plussat: My wife simply loved the rooms as they were rustic enough to pass for an agriturismo. Beds were comfy and the staff was very helpful. We also enjoyed the breakfast; good thing we did not opt to include it in the package as I can imagine that having the same breakfast fare for several days might just not be as enjoyable.

Miinukset: None.

Plussat: Christina was really kind and helpful. The room was clean and nice. The location was great for a tour in the region. The breakfast was full of local goodies. We will definitely visit it again!

Plussat: Great accommodations and great staff. We stayed here before and loved it.

Miinukset: Stairs! There are many stairs

Plussat: Location and views

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great location in the heart of the wonderful scenario of Chianti region. Great place to be based to visit it during the weekend. The staff has been excellent and very welcoming. The place itself gives you a sense of home with its warm areas and gardens. A special thanks goes to Niko, the night consierge, for the nice chat and company when back to the hotel around midnight. Francesco, Valerio, Dalila and Greta

Plussat: If you want to have a movie-like experience in a centuries-old villa in the heart of Tuscany, look no further. Everything is kept very close to the original - the furniture, the windows, the floor, it's like walking and sleeping in a museum, but the rooms are very clean and comfortable. Definitely opt for the breakfast (we loved it!) and if the weather is nice you can serve it on the terrace - you get the best view. The owner is very friendly and he'll show you around the whole place, it will make you feel like home. Keep in mind that you need a car to reach the property.

Plussat: historical chambers

Plussat: A beautiful historic property

Plussat: Owner, breakfast, quiet, relaxing, spacious grounds, the view was breathtaking!!

Miinukset: Bed was really firm, but the location and owners more than make up for it.

Plussat: villa casalaschi is an amazing place!! we have enjoyed very much the hostility. we had a great view from the room and we only wished there wasn't so much to do in Tuscany so we could stay on the property longer :)

Plussat: The staff was great. Excellent breakfast. Incredible views. A must if you visit Tuscany. On site parking.

Plussat: Good breakfast, amazing location, friendly staff.

Miinukset: No real options for lunch or dinner at hotel.

Plussat: The staff was fantastic! They truly welcomed us like family and genuinely cared about our stay. You really couldn’t ask for more. The hotel itself has a wonderful rustic feel and makes you really feel at home in Tuscany.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Absolutely wonderful, classic Tuscan charm. Excellent service and amazing location. This place is perfect for a family or a romantic getaway for 2. The host was warm and friendly and eager to make our stay as memorable as possible. A short walk to the quaint Chianti town of Castellina makes it all the better.

Plussat: The breakfast was exceptional! Everything was delicious! The owner was so kind and precious, he always greeted us with a smile.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Note this review is for the nearby associated property also owned by the Albergo Columbaio called "Villa Casalta". After we booked at Albergo Il Columbaio, they asked if we would take a room at Villa Casalta instead, which we agreed to. I have a feeling they use this to manage overbookings. Casalta is off of a residential gravel road just down from Columbaio so it's necessary to have a car to reach it, but the setting is stunning, probably better than the other one, which is wedged in a parcel just outside town. Castalta has beautiful terraces and grounds overlooking the forested valley and Castellina in Chianti. Very nice breakfast spread and a lovely outdoor terrace to eat on.

Miinukset: Limited services at Casalta- only one person on staff. We had to go the Il Columbaio to take care of check in and so forth, which wasn't quite clear. Room was very large but had almost no outlets and lighting extremely dim, we wouldn't have been able to spend much time in there if we had wanted to (we didn't).

Plussat: Good value for money and ideal for what we wanted. Probably a different and better experience in the summer

Plussat: What a wonderful residence. Beautiful building, convenient to town, but quiet and beautifully, simply decorated. We were fortunate enough to visit in January while the weather was sunny and pleasant. No other guests that we could see. A wonderful breakfast, as well, in a beautiful room off the back terrace, with stone barrel-vaulted ceiling. Extremely inviting.

Plussat: Great location, staff was wonderful. Breakfast was good too.

Miinukset: Located next to a fairly busy road, just beware that if you’re a light sleeper this might keep you up.

Plussat: Beautiful historic building and room. Lovely area to lie out in sun with cooling jacuzzi. Very relaxing. Great location.

Miinukset: Room was to warm during the night, no fan. The garden and the outside facilities need some attention, owerall it needs so little to be wery nice.

Plussat: Very nice and freshly prepared breakfast! No buffet which I like! Personal and attentive service. A good place to go, moderately priced!

Miinukset: All good so far, perhaps the pool would need a little bit more caring, but all in all we had a good time and enjoyed our stay very much.

Plussat: Everything was perfect!

Plussat: Parking, location and views.

Miinukset: The rooms and outside area were tired and needed attention. The first room we were given had a broken toilet. We asked for glasses in the room which were eventually provided but taken away again after the first night. Too many rules and no entry areas in the garden. We weren’t made to feel very welcome.

Plussat: Beautiful gardens, pool and views. Lots of places to sit or lie out in sun and admire views and peace and quiet. Lovely meal in restaurant.

Miinukset: As there wasn't always staff around during the day it would have been nice if there was a self service area where tea/coffee could be made. Just a very minor detail /suggestion.

Plussat: Amazing place. Excellent food, staff, location and magnificent views. Well worth it and would return for sure. I would like to thank for everything... you are really awesome.

Plussat: The location is stunning!!! The peace is just soooo nice! Well worth every penny.

Miinukset: The dusty road leading to the property was very steep and difficult to drive on. Be good if it was paved.

Plussat: Wonderful property and beautiful location. Lovely staff. We loved our stay. Thank you.

Miinukset: The toilet was a bit awkward in our room (really high toilet - my feet were dangling - and I am quite tall at 5.8 ft.). In saying that, this it is peanuts and we would come back in a heartbeat.

Plussat: Beautiful view from the villa of the Tuscan countryside and the service staff were extremely helpful and professional.

Miinukset: The bed was hard, room had insects and there were tons of lizards around the villa. The breakfast was basic and could have included more fruits and some warm dishes.

Plussat: View Location Kind staff

Miinukset: For this price you would expected better quality of everything. Disgusting mold in the bathroom is very unhealthy!!!

Plussat: Breakfast we great, rooms were spacious. Pool was relaxing and never busy. The location was excellent in that you could walk into town (20mins) which was lovely especially after eating dinner and wanting a walk before bed.

Miinukset: The location to get to other surrounding towns was a little more difficult. You are on top of a hill so anywhere outside of Castellina in Chainti was a reasonable drive. So getting to Sienna, Florence or any other town was at least 1/2hour. Also google maps takes you to the wrong location which was a little stressful on arrival.

Plussat: Location as excellent, Roberta was extremely hospitable and helpful

Miinukset: There was no air conditioning, can be uncomfortable in the summer months

Plussat: Peaceful

Miinukset: Location was not idea. Walk to town is 30min on dusty road. No transport options. Really need own car.

Plussat: Aamiainen todella hyvä. Ihana katsella viinipellon maisemia ja nauttia aamiaista. Paikka on rauhallinen ja sijainti kaunis. Henkilökunta ystävällistä. Lyhyt matka kylään ja viinitiloille.

Miinukset: Vaikea sanoa, koska meillä kaikki asiat toimi täydellisesti.

Plussat: 10% discount in the restaurant

Plussat: Very charming 15th century house. Lovely views from the terrace and the swimming pool. Area has plenty of great food options. Staff was very friendly and helpful, without exception. Breakfast was great too.

Miinukset: Rooms are a bit dark and could be modernised but at this price point it's part of the charm.

Plussat: Central location, excellent room ( decor, size) historic building. Excellent breakfast. Parking. Restaurant and wine shop alsoexcellent

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Everything was perfect. All the details were careful thought to make our stay amazing. The staff is super helpful giving us the best advices on what to do and visit. Great breakfast outside enjoying amazing view. Fantastic food for dinner.

Miinukset: Nothing, everything was perfect.

Plussat: Beautiful location with lovely views. Excellent breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff.

Plussat: The views, the pool, the property, the staff, the rooms!

Miinukset: Taxis were difficult to arrange and very expensive. An inexpensive shuttle to/from the local town on some nights would have been good. Being famous for wine it was a shame that one of us always had to miss out to drive. The restaurant was great but some of the portions were small and it was slightly overpriced compared to other similar restaurants. Also, sometimes the restaurant had little to no music so it felt a little awkward as you could hear other diners conversations.

Plussat: Everything from checking in, dinner at the restaurant, amazing service from everyone working at the property, the free bottle of wine upon check in, and an amazing room with breathtaking view. Worth every penny and can't wait to return.

Miinukset: There was nothing to dislike.

Plussat: Beautiful accommodation, wonderful location.

Plussat: what a stunning location and place to stay for anyone wanting to see Tuscany at its finest and most beautiful. Simply breathtaking views from every direction of the hotel. The staff were only too helpful to heed to any of our requests and the food was fantastic. A must stay place in Tuscany and the perfect location for a romantic getaway of peaceful retreat. Cant wait to return and stay for longer next time.

Miinukset: There simply isn't anything to dislike. Wonderful experience.

Plussat: Fantastic hotel and location with extremely helpful staff.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Large room and bath in en-suite, pool looked fantastic but unfortunately very chilly, location was good close to Nice hilltop towns.

Miinukset: Cold pool. breakfast was ok only got offered a coffee 1 out of 3 mornings.

Plussat: Hotellin sijainti on upea- näkymät kukkuloille avautuvat uima-altaalta ja osasta huoneita. Uima-allas lisää viihtyisyyttä huomattavasti.

Miinukset: Siisteydessä on parantamisen varaa. Kuvissa hotelli näyttää upealta mutta tämä ei aivan vastaa todellisuutta. Huone oli hieman nuhjuinen ja parhaat päivänsä nähnyt. Emme ole aivan varmoja oliko hotellissa luteita- emme saaneet puremia mutta löysimme pari ötökkää. Vietimme hotellissa viisi yötä.

Plussat: Terrible service at the wine bar, terrible music for a wellness hotel.Poor service and unkind.

Plussat: Place was nice. It had an English Channel news to watch.

Miinukset: Shower needs better design as the water comes out.

Plussat: The hotel was beautiful and lovely pool. It was really clean and the staff were really friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would like to return

Plussat: Located in central chianti. Nice clean rooms. The mediterranean hotel has beautiful cosy interior with a panoramic view of the stunning tuscan hills from the rooftop.

Miinukset: The continental breakfast was more like a 2 star hotel like experience. Zero variety and very poor. You only had 2 types of cold cuts ( the cheapest packed ham that tasted more like water than ham and some salami. The worst breakfast experience I’ve had so far in a 4 star hotel.

Plussat: Loved the pool, really clean and great views! Really quite in September so mostly had the pool to ourselves which is great! Rooms are simple, modern and clean! I’d stay here again, overall a lovely place! Even let us early check in when we had driven such a long way (from Cinque terre) to get there! Which was brilliant as we were knackered and it was raining hard when we got there!

Plussat: really kind staff

Miinukset: old structure

Plussat: Pleasant staff well run.

Plussat: The property is gorgeous, the rooms are very large and accommodating (more like apartments with yards!).

Miinukset: Volpaia Winery and Hotel does not seem to get along with the other business owners in the Volpaia town. They omitted recommendations for the *very good* local bar and restaurant (they are walking distance from your rooms), preferring to recommend a place 20 minutes drive away. If you stay here, try the local spots despite Volpaia's failure to recommend them.

Plussat: Most kompetent and friendly staff i have ever met. Great neigborhood to walk around. Excellent Restaurants and overwehlming view.

Plussat: Wine tastings, accomadations

Miinukset: Friendly staff

Plussat: Quiet village in the heart of Chianti. We stayd in a charming appartment in the old stony house. Beautifull view from our balcony/swimming-pool to the valleys of Chianti. Apartment equipment is complete. Special bonus make the Paola's restaurant near the church.

Miinukset: n/a

Plussat: The apartment was in a beautiful old building with lovely terracotta ceiling and old beams. It had its own private terrace and access to a shared pool. The bedroom was nicely furnished and the bed was very comfortable and a good size. The kitchen was well equipped and the sitting room area was spacious and comfortable. The bathroom was good and all the plumbing worked well. The apartment is in the tiny village of Volpaia and there are stupendous views in every direction. The grounds around the apartment are very well planted and maintained, and although there are other apartments in the building, each apartment was well screened for privacy. The pool was exceptionally clean and we were very glad that it was kept open for the end of September early October. We loved the peace and quite of the area, and being surrounded by the natural beauty of the countryside of Volpaia. We enjoyed watching red squirrels and listening to owls at night.

Plussat: Great service. Restorant food and service are excellent.

Miinukset: NA

Plussat: Very quiet and well furnished room, with comfy beds. Exceptionally clean. Historical setting. Very helpful staff. Nice restaurant with enthusiastic staff.

Miinukset: There was no bar for drinks on an evening. The hotel would benefit from an outdoor pool, but there is an indoor pool and outdoor jacuzzis.

Plussat: Bed v comfortable

Miinukset: Pool not quite as good as expected and in different building which was bit confusing

Plussat: Henkilökunta oli ystävällinen ja avulias. Aamiainen oli laadukas ja riittävä.

Plussat: Loistava hotelli hienolla sijainnilla. Kylpylä hyvä.

Miinukset: Difficult to get to the spa pool

Plussat: Close to everything in town and only minutes from great wineries.

Plussat: The hotel is absolutely beautiful, and our room was spacious and cozy. The staff is incredibly nice!

Miinukset: Wifi didn't work in the room

Plussat: The setting was amazing. The spa was a real treat and included in your stay.

Miinukset: We knew the place didn't have a restaurant but we expected the "bar" food to have been better. Please go out for dinner and don't eat in.

Plussat: Beautiful location and property grounds. Close to Radda in Chianti and Pazano in Chianti. Both are awesome little towns with great restaurants and Tuscan countryside views!

Plussat: The perfect retreat

Miinukset: Everything was great

Plussat: The room and the view.

Miinukset: You have to drive everywhere from the hotel

Plussat: We had a lovely stay after our long drive surrounded by nature.

Miinukset: I have asked if another room on an upper level with nicer view was available and reception staff has checked and accommodated my request at small extra fee which i had no issue with. What i did not like is a bit unnecessary and excessive long explanations from accompany staff who took us to initially offered room. i.e. how to use the simple room facilities and that after i have checked for possibility to upgrade the room the accompany staff personnel was explaining me that it is important not to use current room facilities and especially bathroom facilities while my spouse was waiting in the room for me to come. We are frequent travelers and have traveled through numerous places in the world and at the end of the day it all comes to taking care of clients and make everything to feel comfortable and welcomed... othewise we had a lovely and relaxing stay.

Miinukset: Unstable internet connection, needs improvement for business use

Plussat: The staff was very helpful and friendly.

Plussat: The grounds, the spa was wonderful, the breakfast was enormous and delicious. Our room was gorgeous, but not overdone.

Plussat: The feeling of being out in the country away from the world...the views from the patio...the friendliness of the staff....the luxuriousness of the rooms.

Miinukset: Absolutely nothing at all.

Plussat: Excellent and very relaxed and quiet hotel in a fantastic location within the beautiful hills of the Chianti region. Staff extremely helpful and friendly and room was very clean. Perfect hotel to explore the Tuscan countryside and cities like Florence and Siena by car.

Miinukset: Absolutely nothing to complain really. Maybe a bit more variation of the (very good) breakfast buffet and some sports facilities (such as a gym) would be great.

Plussat: The hotel staff was amazing and so accomodating. The grounds are beautiful. Our room was comfortable and huge. We would go back to this hotel for sure. Very relaxing and enjoying experience.

Plussat: The location is faboulous. The facilities excellent and the staff helpful.

Miinukset: There was no receptionist after 21.00

Plussat: Beautiful hotel in tranquil setting.

Miinukset: would have liked a more extensive evening menu

Plussat: Location and facilities were good / excellent

Miinukset: Staffing levels and their experience were below what is expected at this quality hotel. However staff were friendly and helpful.

Plussat: Staff attitude, very helpful and friendly. Location. Food. Grounds.

Miinukset: Would have liked more changes in the menu during our week's stay.

Plussat: Simply perfect - the location and views, in the midst of the vineyards and woods, on a hill overlooking the beautiful Chianti countryside, the facilities (room, pool, restaurant, spa) and the whole surroundings of the villa are fantastic. The rooms a stylish and well equiped, with a kitchenette

Miinukset: I would expect a more frequent change of towels and bed linnings (once over a period of 10 days stay)

Plussat: Staff were nice, and accommodation is peaceful.

Miinukset: Upon booking this property, one makes use of various filters there are. One of these was offers dinners. However, to our dismay, upon arriving (even though we had contacted the accommodation separately and were assured), we were informed that due to low season dinner could not be served. Similarly, this also held for the advertised activities. If we had known, we would have chosen another accommodation which offers the same views, room type for a much lesser price. If the accommodation does not offer this, then it should be reflected when booking.

Plussat: Good location for town centre and on site parking for our motorcycle

Miinukset: Rooms rather small but adequate

Plussat: Location is perfect for wine lovers and romantic couples.

Miinukset: Wi-fi did not always work in the room.

Plussat: Beautiful location

Miinukset: Little attention payed to us upon arrival...seemed like self service Wine tasting included 3 wines only what was disappointing

Plussat: The staff is amazing: they're kind and very helpful. The rooms are big and breakfast is served with homemade products. We also dined in the evening and the food was really good. The view is totally worth the ride through the mountains. Marco is a very friendly host, thank you!!!

Miinukset: The only bad thing is the Wi-Fi.

Plussat: Fantastic location in the middle of the Chianti region. When you move into Borgo, you feel like a local. It is literraly a small village and the houses are converted into Hotel rooms. Beautiful scenery, friendly staff, tranquality, ...

Miinukset: The local restaurant staff could pay more attention to guests. Sometimes we had the feeling that they are boared and can hardly wait for the end of the shift ...

Plussat: Location, views, quiet

Miinukset: Nothing loved it
