The hotel is on the country. There is no village near the hotel, there is nothing in walking distance. With the car, the area has interesting points. We recommend Terme Antica Querciolaia or Terme San Giovanni in Rapolano Terme for good wellness treatments with intense thermal waters. For good tuscany food, there is the Restaurant Il Bivacco, located at the... More 

We had such great expectations of this hotel, particularly given its member status as one of the leading hotels of the world, which has in the past served as helpful benchmark in choosing a property. However in this instance, this proved an entirely wrong decision as our stay here was disappointing and underwhelming. Our first impression certainly wasn't helped by... More 

The hotel and spa are situated on a lovely property in buildings that once house and 11th century monastery. Those buildings have been converted into multiple hotel rooms scattered throughout the various buildings, two Gordon Ramsay restaurants, a bar/lounge, the hotel offices, and a beautiful wellness spa. The original chapel remains and is in use. The buildings are centered around... More 

Just had a stay at the Castel Monastero , this place is situated in the Tuscan countryside alongside some of the best Chianti wine yards in Italy and just outside of Siena. If you want a quiet exclusive stay in an old monastery then this is the place to stay. They have two restaurants , one in an old cavern... More 

It has the ingredients but it doesn't deliver. We had an unfortunate experience with lackluster service and our very badly appointed room. We couldn't wait to leave. There are many beautiful warm welcoming places in Tuscany. This is not one of them.

Excellent resort, very accommodating and always wanting to make your stay excellent. Choice of 2 restaurants both very nice with very knowledgable staff to compliment their food with local wines. Great location for trips to Florence (1hour by car) or Sienna (20 mins by car) or even to visit local vineyards.

Set in a picturesque part of Tuscany, this hotel contributed to a large part of my vacation. I would mention two things that stood out for me. The first was the quality of our rooms. Spacious, comfortable, great views of the countryside and well stocked with all that you need. The other was the service. Ever courteous, smiling, professional and... More 

We stayed here the first four days of our vacation in Italy. We drove easily in two hours from the Rome airport to the heart of Tuscany. The staff is very attentive and helpful. The baths in both our rooms were very modern and lovely. The pool area and spa services were all terrific. We went in the heat of... More 

A fantastic time at the hotel. Food is excellent, the majority of the staff are welcoming and very accommodating. The hotel and grounds are beautiful. We will most definitely stay there again. The only negatives I have to say is that €40 per day per person to use the spa is incredibly steep when you pay so much in regards... More
