The place is a bit tricky to get to if you're not used to driving on country roads, however, this is what makes it a bit more special. The location is beautiful , really nice surroundings, the castle itself is great and you must do a little explore, and there's also a nice little village next to it where we had a great lunch in a family run café with local dishes and wines. Within 5 minutes walk the opposite direction, you will find a great restaurant in an old monastery which is on the pricier side but very good value Getting to Florence took around 20 minutes and within For Italian standards, the rooms were a little tired and found some dried mosquitoes on the tiles, but generally clean. The pool was a great addition to the stay despite only using once due to the bad weather during our stay. The reception lady was very friendly and informative, the only thing that was miscommunicated was with the delivery of a birthday cake which we ended up receiving the day after

Very dirty and dark rooms, mould in the bathrooms

Although the castle looks nice from the outside, our apartment was dark and dirty. There was mould in the bathrooms, some lights did not work and everything looked as if it hadn' been cleaned for a while. We felt very uncomfortable in our apartment and cannot recommend it.

The castle is beautiful. You will have a great experience. Everything about the Castello was great except for the transportation. This is disappointing from an American point of view. I saw families walking down the narrow winding roads to get to a bus stop. It would be more convenient if the castle would at least provide a shuttle. We had to rent a car which was also not easy as you have to go to the city of Florence which is 40 minutes away and most rentals are only available at the airport. If the transportation was more accessible this would be better for business for the castle and the surrounding towns. If you are planning on staying at the castle please allow for car rental expenses in your budget unless you plan to stay at the castle the entire time then you will only have to spend between $70 - $100 dollars for a taxi depending on the driver. This is the only downside but I would visit and stay at the castle again.

Le cadre est de toute beauté. Il est agréable de voir que la piscine n'est pas surchargée et que l'on peut s'y reposer. Nous avons regretté l'absence de moustiquaires aux fenêtres et, dans ce lieu, les moustiques vous font vivre un enfer. Nous avions l'un des 3 appartements où les espaces extérieurs (table + fauteuils) sont quasiment côte à côte donc pas d'intimité (nous ne l'avons donc pas utilisé). Les autres appartements bénéficiaient d'un agencement mieux adapté pour profiter de l'extérieur.

Hmm, so I wasn't sure whether to go for 4 or 5 stars. Good: Beautiful location Welcoming staff Local vineyard to go wine tasting (walking distance) Spacious rooms Close to Florence Great swimming pool Restaurant (didn't eat but wish I had) Bad: Mosquitoes were terrible (anywhere outside any time of day you were at risk of biting). I did inquire and was informed that this was sadly down to lockdown and not being able to spray at the time. Without the mosquitoes, this would definitely have been a 5 star. Minor niggles: Dishwasher next to useless - out of salt and rinse aid. You needed to buy your own bin bags, dishwasher tablets, soap, dish clothes & toilet paper. I'd strongly suggest offering a 1-off pack for this as it's a lot less painful. The dining area at 1B isn't great. It's tucked in a corner and especially with the mosquitos, it's unusable. The upstairs room also has no curtain so we had to put tin foil up to stop the kids getting up at daybreak. I guess every apartment has it's benefits and problems though and in general, a great time was had by all (even the mosquitoes).

Bellissima struttura, curata e immersa nel verde con splendide viste sul circondario e una bella piscina. Personale molto cordiale. Purtroppo l’aria condizionata nel nostro appartamento non funzionava e non vi erano zampironi/zanzariere per proteggere gli ambienti dalle zanzare. Alla nostra segnalazione Lo staff ha comunque fatto il possibile per risolvere il problema procurando dei ventilatori sostitutivi.

Not as advertised

Booked for August for our family of 4. When we arrived the place looked beautiful, so much history! After being checked in we got into our apartment and started to notice some issues. The air was stale and moldy smelling, the furniture was dated and dirty and there were some functional issues with electrical outlets and one of the toilets. We addressed with management, especially the air quality and asked to be moved but we were told they were full and nothing else available. At first we thought we could deal with this, we were only booked for 4 days we could manage and just plan to be out of our rooms most of the time. However, my mother started to have health issues because of the air quality and we actually had to leave the premises because she couldn’t breath (she has very bad asthma and allergies to mold). We had to book and pay for a hotel in Florence. We tried to work with the management group to get a refund and they told us all of our claims were not valid and the owner actually laughed at my mothers health issues and said not his problem. Needless to say we did not go back and instead had to pay out of pocket for another accommodation for our stay in Tuscany. We are all very unsatisfied and extremely disappointed in how the entire situation was handled by the owner and their property group. They were rude and abrasive from the first call, completely dismissing anything we said as if we were trying to scam them and not taking us seriously at all. We dealt with them daily trying to work with them to come up with any sort of compromise to get a full or even partial refund and after 3 days (of our 4 day trip) they finally offered us another place at one of their other properties to stay for an additional $300 from what we already paid them. At this point we already paid for our original stay with them plus now a hotel for 3 days and we were leaving the next day so we did not take them up on this offer. We were looking forward to staying here very much and it was extremely upsetting it didn’t work out, that is tough enough but to then be treated the way we were by the management team, is was beyond unacceptable. Premise and other rooms might have been wonderful (ours were not) but management who owns it was a nightmare to deal with, would not recommend for that reason alone. I hope nobody else ever has to deal with what we did with them, nobody deserves to be treated that way.

Great location, with a great view on beautiful Toscana. We had the 1b appartment, so not in the main castle building, close to the nice and big enough swimming pool. The rooms are OK, good shower and bathrooms. Maybe not enough light. Also, there were some marriage events in the castle while we were there, so that the restaurant was closed on some evenings and there was a bit of noise from those events.

absolutely beautiful. The location is divine and the apartments were great for our family holiday. A perfect central spot to visit Florence, Siena, Pisa and all the beautiful towns in the Tuscany region. The apartments whilst clean and comfortable needed a few more things in the kitchen. The washing facilities were not great with one shared washing machine.

Unexpected find tucked away in Tuscany.

The castle was beautiful with many hidden treasures to discover such as a painted ceiling and grand statutes on the grounds all found while exploring. Although not in the castle, we stayed in one of the apartments on the grounds which was very spacious. We ordered groceries ahead (I suggest coffee, bread, meat & cheese, eggs, butter, milk, wine) and all was there when we arrived. Everything they bought was perfect! It was a great starting point to venture out and see many places - Florence, the walled city of Lucca (plan a day - a must see) and so many places in Tuscany.

We had a great stay for the week in very spacious accommodations. It was a bit difficult to find the entrance, no light or sign at the entrance. We requested a few items (coffee, wine, cheese, eggs, water, bread etc.) be stocked for our arrival which we found upon arrival (25 Euros fee) well worth it. We did have dinner in the restaurant which was very good. They are not open for breakfast or lunch. The grounds are lovely. We discovered random painted ceilings and statutes around the property that were amazing. This is close to many places, to the town of Lucca (highly would recommend the day trip) Florence and so many vineyards. I would recommend it!
