The estate is beautiful, the reception was good, but we had to climb 35 steep steps to reach our apartment on the 2nd floor, facing the North.
The apartment was well equiped but to small for a cupboard to hang your clothes, for that we had to climb another steep stair, to reach the entresol with a height of 1.55m, good for midgets but to low to walk.
So for us as an elderly couple, also the distance to our car of more than 500m, outside the borgio, made the stay less comfortable than we expected and in this case the Toscan beauty
was not matched by Borgo Colleoli.

Visited 13 - 16th September - We were so excited to be back at the Borgo and found that not much had changed. We had a lovely suite in the main villa for 3 nights on the special Autumn offer and enjoyed the breakfasts in the Enoteca and Tuscan food and wine in the I Seccoli ristorante. All of the staff at the Borgo were very helpful, friendly and fun! The setting is just beautiful, so tranquil at this time of year and the surrounding area is so easy to get around by car! There are so many places to visit and we will definately return again sooner rather than later!

I stayed courtesy of a friend who owns an appartment so can't comment on charges and prices.
The setting is outstanding and staff at reception very courteous, let me borrow a mountain bike for free.
The pool and grounds are very lovely and extremely well kept - water not heated, but I never mind that at all.
We did not eat in restaurant, which was deserted every evening. The local pizza place is excellent value for money however, and a stone's throw away.
you definitely need a car to get around, the nearest village has some restaurants (nice pub for lunch, and great icecream/ cafe type place) and simple grocers, but not much else.
Be aware of functions at night! These can be noisy - there was a karaoke party going on when we were there. Not the sort of thing I'd have expected in this resort.

We had a lovely fortnight in the apartments in July. Our apartment was spacious and very clean and the pools were beautiful and never too busy. We were a little concerned about the stairs in our apartment (we have an active toddler in tow) but arranged for stairgates to be fitted, all of which had been attended to before we arrived. The staff were very pleasant and efficient. When our DVD player did not work, a new one was brought and set up within an hour.

Food in the restaurant was good, with the exception of breakfast (not good) which we only had the first morning. We stocked up at the supermarket in Forcoli and ate in for breakfast after that. The pizzeria at the end of the drive is excellent and very good value, and full of locals.

This is an excellent location for visiting many of the beautiful sights of Italy - we enjoyed day trips to San Gimignano, Volterra, Florence, Lucca and Siena. We would thoroughly recommend the Borgo and have already booked for 2013!
