Beautiful boutique hotel surrounded by stunning scenery next to the small village of Castellina in Chianti! Arriving towards the beginning of the tourist season on 12th May for a wedding close by and would have stayed longer than 4 days if I could. The staff were kind and helpful without being invasive. The rooms were spacious, charming and filled with character (definitely not a chain hotel), immaculate and cleaned daily with fresh towel change. Breakfast was served in the beautiful gardens each morning, with one of the best continental selections I’ve seen in any hotel! It felt like a private villa as we practically had the pool to ourselves, added bonus if you’re going as a group and can book out the whole place! Drinks (beer, wine, Prosecco, Aperol Sprits and soft drinks with snacks) were served out through the hatch into the garden! Though they didn’t serve afternoon and evening meals, a short stroll to the village provided an abundance of restaurants and delis! Each as lovely as the next, and perfect for meals or just a drink to people watch, as villagers passed calling out greetings to each other. Top Tip: I recommend driving as taxi are hard to come by locally and can be expensive. A real hidden gem, I have nothing bad to say about the hotel, staff or location!
