We stayed at Tenuta di Ricavo at least 4-5 times when I was a child in Italy in the mid-1960s. I remember it as a special treat, quiet and peaceful and beautiful. I stopped there again in the late 1970s and it was equally beautuful. I will return when I can, hopefully very soon!

Staying at the end of their season was lovely - the property is so stunning, all the leaves were turning making the already stunning views even prettier. It feels less like a hotel and more like a self-contained quaint village. The staff was incredible. So helpful (booking us wine tours and making us feel at home). Every detail of the... More

This is a great hotel in the Tuscany countryside. We stayed here for three nights and it was totally enjoyable. The location is great for day trips to places like Siena or Greve, etc. The restaurant is also very nice, especially if you are tired from a day of sight seeing. I would definitely would recommend it!

from the start...... Off the main road up in the hills(actually, it's a mountain!) where the hotel is located - you really need to leave your sport car at home, as you will not be able to drive down this crapy road...not asphalted and full of wholes. The hotel is very easy going, clean and kept tidy and well! It's... More

Glowing reports for this tranquil idyll in the Chianti hills are thoroughly deserved. Once the dusty track has been negotiated (in our case in a somewhat under-powered Lancia), arrival into the pretty courtyard immediately sets the tone for the stay. We received a super welcome from the very competent and friendly Daniela in reception. With two small children in tow... More

Once again, I spent my holiday in Tenuta di Ricavo. It is a paradise on earth for me. As I just returned from this lovely place I must say that it is never easy to come back home - everything seems so common and boring... The room with a view over the Chianti hills gives you peach of mind the... More

My wife and I stayed at Tenuta di Ricavo about 15 years ago, and found it charming. It still is the most magical of places - an isolated hotel village in the heart of the Tuscan countryside. The rooms are very comfortable, with fine views out over the valley. The pools are delightfully set in an old walled garden. The... More

My wife and I stayed at Tenuta di Ricavo twelve years ago for our honeymoon and had a wonderful stay. This year, we planned a European trip for us, our kids and our parents that included a stay in Tuscany and we immediately turned to booking a stay at this hotel. The hotel was just as we remembered it: a... More

This was such a wonderful experience. The hotel is set up as a Tuscan compound, with several charming stone buildings set on breathtaking grounds in the Tuscan hills. There are two pools, and the landscaping is tremendous. Our room offered a spectacular view and was huge - it had both a bedroom and a separate living area. The restaurant was... More
