Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Tuscany

Room was clean and comfortable. The pool area was really nice and we enjoyed it. Staff are very helpful. The hotel itself is in an enclosed area so the parking is very secure but are also offered underground further secure parking. A lovely hotel, amenities and staff. Would recommend.

Location is great for the airport and Florence centre. Taxi takes about 20min. Really lovely pool for days that are too hot to sightsee all day. The restaurant is fantastic with amazing food for really good value.

The room was spacious & clean. They had a pool and a bar. Great place to decompress after trudging through the city for a week. The restaurant had a good selection & reasonable prices. Staff was nice

Thanks a lot to the hotel team for their effectiveness, especially on the Breakfast. We enjoyed staying at the Hotel, even if we didn't have enough time to test the pool.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the NilHotel. Our room was spacious and clean. The only downside to the room was that to take a shower, you had to step up high to stand in the shower and our view was of an industrial company next door. Breakfast was good and there were good restaurants nearby. This hotel is out about 25 minutes from city center so you get a bigger room, free parking and breakfast than you would closer to Florence. We had a car and planned to drive but the very friendly desk clerk advised us to take a taxi for about 25 euros. Thank goodness he did. Transit drivers were on strike and many roads were closed. Google maps would have never gotten us there and we would have missed our tour of the Uffizi gallery. Instead we got dropped off at the entry to the museum in time.

We had a spacious room in the annex with a nice view over the garden and the pool. The location is secluded so you certainly need a car to get around. The view from the pool towards the surrounding hills is so beautiful and relaxing. The breakfast was very good and so was the dinner we enjoyed twice there. And if you have space in your luggage, why not to buy a bottle of their self made spirits as a souvenir.

Although the hotel was in beautiful countryside it was not far to main routes into Florence and other cities. It’s set in a beautiful landscape and a real escape. The pool and spa were perfect, not busy when we stayed . We loved our time there and the staff were exceptional.

A beautiful location set in the hills in Barberino di Mugello, about 1.5 hours northeast of Firenze. Spacious room, pool,spa and delicious breakfast! Dinner at night, optional, was amazing! Staff was attentive and so sweet!

Amazing place to escape the rush of the city! Not far from Florence. We enjoyed the spa, local food and especially the aperol. Great view and nice pools. The staff was very attentive as well.

The facilities were amazing, the pools, the restaurant, and the service by everyone was top

Our stay at Villa Tortorelli was just perfect. We had one of standard rooms but it was lovely and plenty of space for 2. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was spotlessly clean. We loved the traditional Italian decor with ornate light fittings and furniture. The AC worked well and kept us cool in the heat. The pool and pool area are really well looked after and it’s so nice to come back to after a day of walking around Florence. We had breakfast both mornings which is a mix of bread, pastries and continental (plus some eggs and sausages too). The hotel is secure and so easy to come and go as you please. If you want peace and tranquility in the heart of Florence I fully recommend Villa Tortorelli.

Villa Tortorelli was just so special.You enter through 2 large doors into a beautiful courtyard and then the Villa appears. Our room was just lovely.All the ceilings and walls are exquisitely painted and we had a lovely shower room. The breakfast room again was beautifully painted and bright looking onto the pool. The selection of pastries and charcuterie etc was wonderful. We loved the pool area after a day of walking and there's even a roof terrace with views of the Duomo. We could use the kitchen for storing drinks,getting glasses etc and nothing was too much trouble for the friendly helpful staff. Thankyou so much for a wonderful stay.

Good location, 30 minute walk from Santa Maria Novella station (taxi ten mins/16e), 10 mins to main hub of Florence. Room was spacious with plenty of storage and with temperatures hitting nearly 40C, the air con was just bliss. The pool was the perfect place to hang out at any time of day, with shady spots if the direct sun was too much. Buffet breakfast; eat in or by the pool - always plenty to choose from. Both owner and staff were extremely pleasant; Alice couldn't do enough for us - even found us an emergency dentist. Excellent customer service.

Villa location was a reasonable walking distance of centre and places of interest although bus stopped at end of street with cheap access anywhere in Florence. First impressions were of a tranquil, distinctively beautiful and elegant old Villa. Welcome was friendly with secuity, room access and orientation explained. Rooms were spacious, well appointed and spotlessly clean with an enomous comfortable bed, relax chairs and well appointed ensuit shower room and WC also providing secured free WIFI throughout with a 50" + SMART TV for coms and access to your favourite platforms. Breakfast was standard continental but plentiful, with fresh coffee and tea made to order. The serenity and view from the roof top terrace was impressive and comfortably seated for 10 and ideal for relaxing. Unfortunately, the pool was closed during our visit but the grounds and pool terrace area looked well kept and idilic for good weather, warmer stays.

Well maintained rooms, staff v friendly and helpful. Nice pool. Superb breakfast by the pool. Good location walkable to all the main sites but far enough away from the busiest parts

With a Private pool, the villa was Clean and comfortable and very spacious

Villa Belvedere is located halfway up a mountain overlooking a valley. From the back patio one has a beautiful view of the mountains in the distance. It's a great place to drink a glass of wine and appreciated the scenery Tuscany has to offer. The pool is surprisingly big. The deck is a great place for morning yoga, and the pool is a great place to cool off. My room was on the bottom floor and itself was very cool. I stayed in early July and didn't even need a fan. The staff were very friendly, and despite my speaking no Italian, and they're speaking very little English, we got on just fine. She even got me soya milk for my morning cappuccinos!

Staying here was an absolute delight. The home is beautiful and the views from the breakfast room are stunning. Breakfast was a generous continental spread with made to order eggs and coffees. The pool was beautiful although the weather didn't cooperate to enjoy on this trip.. The family room was really nicely laid out with a door separating the master bed from the twin beds (very handy with young children). There was also a mini fridge stocked with mini-bar items. The bathroom is small, but functional and very clean. The host went out of her way to accomodate our family. She made dinner reservations for us each night at different local restaurants. I look forward to staying here again the next time we are in the area.

This villa was absolute perfection. The breathtaking views, especially at sunset, were unforgettable. The home was incredibly comfortable, beautifully decorated, and fully equipped for a relaxing stay. Seeing fireflies at night at olive garden was magical. We loved the peaceful, serene atmosphere—perfect for unwinding by the pool or enjoying wine on the terrace. Truly one of the most relaxing and beautiful places we’ve ever stayed. Hosts were nice and special gratitude to a dog Argo who was a faithful friend and security guard to us during whole stay.

Great location with amazing view. Nice pool, parking, friendly owner.

We LOVED the infinity pool. We were in the pool everyday. The kids loved the table tennis too. The staff were kind and helpful.

This property truly blew our minds and far exceeded our expectations. The price-quality ratio is unbelievable. When we were shown to our accommodation, we were in awe—it was a massive and stunning apartment within the castle, complete with high ceilings, elegant furniture, and beautiful paintings. The two spacious bedrooms, a grand living room with a large fireplace, and a magnificent dining room that felt straight out of Game of Thrones added to the charm. The large, fully-equipped kitchen had everything we needed. The history of the place is palpable, and staying here felt like an extraordinary experience. The property is beautifully maintained, with breathtaking views of the rolling Tuscan hills. The infinity pool perfectly blends into the landscape, enhancing the castle’s charm rather than detracting from it. A delightful bonus was the delicious breakfast served every morning, featuring fresh orange juice and made-to-order omelets or eggs. The property’s location is ideal for exploring much of Tuscany without long drives. This place has left a lasting impression on us and was the highlight of our trip. We sincerely hope to return someday.

We've never been to a place like this. You are literally living in a castle. Our part/apartment was very spacious, on two floors (kind of), with everything you need: very nice bedroom, nice bathroom with cool view, and ridiculously big living+kitchen area. Really very nice, and takes you to another time and atmosphere. You don't sense the tourism, which I find very positive. Apart from the room, the surroundings are astounding. The breakfast area is very nice, especially when the weather is good and you sit outside. The place has a very nice swimming pool and relaxing area, which we briefly enjoyed. You really have to plan your stay so that you spend at least half a day in the castle and the area, to feel it and to recharge. Our host, Sara, was really nice and gives you all the details needed. Do ask her for advice on where to eat. She gave us 3 recommendations, we tried and enjoyed all of them! Did I mention that they have their own wine?

Really nice apartment located in an annex building, comfortable beds and accommodation, nicely decorated and with a well equipped full kitchen. The property is wonderful, the swimming pool has a great view also. We made a tour inside Bibbione Castle and a Wine tasting with their local wine, we loved it. Staff is great, specially Sara who is very kind and helpful. My only complain is that only one day, early in the morning, employees started cleaning and vacuuming the apartment close to mine, and we could hear all noise and their chat, but I reported the situation to the staff and they said they will take action.

Extraordinary, tastefully furnished apartment with a bedroom, kitchen, two bathrooms, from the larger bathroom exit to a small terrace for morning coffee or hanging bath towels. Clean and comfortable. Panoramic view from the windows in the bedroom and the second bathroom. Functional kitchen. Clean swimming pool with an idyllic, panoramic view, around rosemary and lavender, beautifully fragrant, optimal number of sunbeds. Parking near the apartment. Place for meals outside, barbecue nearby. Table tennis table. Tasty and varied breakfasts. Possibility of tasting and buying wine. Hospitable and helpful hosts, thank you.

We were staying in private vila with privat swimming pool, far away from the main building. There was no neighbours around us, just fields, so the children were able to be laud. The vila and the property around was spacious. The private pool was big. We would come back.

The house was perfect for our needs. Secluded, but less than 10 minutes' drive from the nearest village. A large private garden with a private pool. BBQ facilities and even a Pizza oven (which we did not use). The four large bedrooms were clean and comfortable, each equipped with air conditioning. The owners were quick to help whenever we needed anything.

The Toscana view, the room and house itself. Very beautiful, especially pool/dining room and of course outsaid pool also. Red wine was very good. The Donkey was also very friendly ;)

Serene Tuscan country side, with views across the vinyards, very comfortable apartment and an amazing pool. The host is very friendly and helpful, we needed some help during our stay and she helped in every way possible, really appreciate it !!! Spent our days here sunbathing and looking at the rolling hills of Tuscany and the nights sipping the wine they produce while looking at the stars above.

The location of the property is amazing. You can see the Tuscan views from the property. The pool is amazing, the property itself is very maintained and the staff is friendly. The apartment we stayed in had two rooms and was clean and pristine. We even got a bouquet of flowers and a welcome drink which was a nice gesture.

This property is not for everyone but if you are looking for a peace and quiet with some authentic Italian rustic on your trip then you won’t be disappointed. The host, Franca was extremely friendly and spoke good English. Our accommodation was for a family of four. It was away from the main building up a gravel path, just a short 5 minute walk to the pool. The apartment had everything we needed to cater for our family of 4. I was concerned that we didn’t have air conditioning but the old stone houses stay cool if you follow Franca’s advice and when you open the windows at night a nice breeze runs through. All of our windows had fly screens so they could be left open. The views were outstanding over the hills, from our bed we even caught the sunrise! We loved our stay here and I walked away from our two night stay feeling refreshed and relaxed. Thanks Franca for a very enjoyable stay!! Emily and Family

The silence was just amazing, not a sound. A beautiful large farmhouse. Spotlessly clean. Everything you could have wanted. A beautiful large swimming pool. Surrounded by mountains and green. A beautiful place to just 'be' There is no transport so a car is needed. The owner was so lovely and kind. She collected us and dropped us at the train station, and her apples were delicious. There was a pizza restaurant, a bar and a very, very tiny conveniance store 30mins up hill but very, very basic, that was all. Pure heaven.

The property was amazing, we had everything we needed for a really acceptable price. The owner was lovely; gave us lots of advice, answered all the questions we had, provided an outside table...the pool was great too! There is lots of things to do in the area and places to visit.

Absolutely superb place to stay in a beautiful area. Beautifully secluded, private, quiet, retreat away from the hustle and bustle of life. Comfortable, practical, clean and tidy. Franca is an amazing, helpful, friendly, and kind host. Lovely grounds, fabulous pool, and all surrounded by gorgeous countryside with stunning local villages.

Amazing location in the middle of the beautiful Garfagnana. The apartment was practically a small house and had everything needed and was located just next to the pool.

We spent 9 days at the Villa Le Statue as a family reunion and loved the location! The family who own the property are so accommodating, lovely people, that did everything possible to make our stay comfortable. Each apartment is different, each with special features. Of the 2 we rented, one had a garden, with a huge outdoor table where we ate all our meals and was surrounded by olive and cypress trees and a view of the Tuscan hills. The other one had a huge terrace with couches and an eating area. The beds were all very comfortable, everything was impeccably clean, the showers modern and spacious. The pool area was remarkable, with a shallow area, making getting into the water easy and was perfect for children. We loved our stay there and were sad when we had to leave!

This is a jem of a stay. The property itself comprises of several apartments or suites. We had the Junior Suite which was just right for me and my two friends. The apartment is fabulous, spotless with everything you need. The pool was brilliant. Never crowded and accessible 24/7. We didn’t have a car and the trusty 25 was perfect for taking the 15min journey into town. By far the very best feature of this stay is our host, Martina, who is head and shoulders the best host I have ever encountered. She genuinely cares that you are having the best time and cannot do enough to help. Highly recommended- would come back in a heartbeat 💗

We loved everything about this stay. From check in, Martina and her husband were so accomodating and helped us organise some groceries and bus tickets. The Villa is so beautiful and located outside the busy part of the city centre meaning it was a perfect place to relax after a busy day. We loved the pool area. There is a bus stop within 100m outside the villa to take you into Florence centre. The rooms were spacious, clean and had all the essentials we needed to cook our meals. We loved sitting on the rooftop terrace to enjoy the afternoon sun. Can’t wait to visit again one day!

Our host was very accommodating in every way! She gave us map detailing sight-seeing parking areas, grocery store, places of interst and she speaks great English. Our apartment was spacious, extremely clean, great location just outside Firenze and beautiful views of olive groves and mountains of Tuscany. Very nice kitchen and family area. We enjoyed the pool while resting between family outings. Easy to get a taxi or bus stop right outside gate and plenty of parking for suv auto. Beds very comfortable and spacious bathrooms. We will certainly be back!

Martina is an excellent and highly professional host. The property is lovely, clean, spacious and has a wonderful pool, good and secure parking. Martina even made sure we could access the property much earlier than the official 3:00 pm check-in. Highly recommended and we loved our time staying at Villa Le Statue, as a very nice location to explore Florence, Siena and surrounding areas. The large terrace also had great views. Thank you and we would happily of stayed longer. Steve and Katherine, Herts, UK

We spent five days in Villa Rosa to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of our class. Even though we were a group of 23 people, the villa was a perfect fit and spacious enough for all of us. Our stay exceeded all of our expectations: the building was beautiful, surrounded by peaceful Tuscan hills but also walking distance to a nice restaurant and a nearby winery, and a small Coop 5 minutes away with a car. We enjoyed long days at the pool, watched sunrise and sunset on the yeard, picked fresh figs from the tree and enjoyed eachothers company. All the rooms were renovated beautifully and they were all different from eachother, to give a unique feeling. The kitchen was well equipped, romantic and well functioning. Bathrooms and toilets were all lovely and had no faults. We had breakfasts and a beautiful dinner that was prepared for us by the staff: it couldn't have been better and it was reasonably priced. The staff was reachable at all times and they were able to help us with anything we needed. We loved Villa Rosa and would highly recommend it from couples to bigger groups too!

We stayed for 3 nights while driving through Italy on our honeymoon. Sabina upgraded our room and put a bottle of prosecco in our fridge. Sabina and Giancarlo are gracious hosts and very friendly. Their residence is gorgeous, filled with Tuscan character and is immaculately maintained. Our room was spacious and comfortable, the AC was cold and the shower was hot. Their breakfasts were first rate, with the always-welcome capuccino service. We dined with them for 1 evening as well, which was also first-rate. They are a 2 minute walk to the nearest winery (its in the back yard!) and centrally located among a dozen fantastic wineries and destinations. There is a lovely pool on an elevated hill above the house which was well maintained and very peaceful. We'd definitely stay with them again. Thanks Sabina and Giancarlo!

The location was great, right in the middle of Chianti region, between Florence and Sienna. The owners was very friendly and helpful, they made us feel like family. We used the pool which was very nice when it was very hot in the afternoon, and we also visited the neighbouring wine-yard, which is literally only 2 minutes walk. A nice little breakfast can be added for a small charge. We got very good information about the region, and very good recommendations of places to visit, and places to eat. We highly recommend this lovely place! We would love to come back.

4 friends travelling for the first time through Tuscany (july 2012) and Although we had a GPS, we still got lost for about an hour as the given address specifies a street that has the same name as 2 other streets. After asking around for a bit we managed to find the hotel. Once you get there it is worth it. The hotel is decorated with a beautiful rustic, vintage feel. We had the pool to ourselves and it has a magnificent view of chianti.

We were two families that stayed two nights at Villa Rosa in August. The rooms were large as well as the terrace. Highlight of the stay was the cooking class that Sabina, the owner, organized at the farmhouse. It was fun and the food was tasty. We learned a lot. There was also a nice pool on the grounds. Sabina was very nice, informative and speaks English. She also conducts tours of the area. The villa is in the center of the Chianti region.

The Collelungo is several sized apartments in one farm house . The room we had was clean and well maintained. The pool area was nice but small but I was ok with this as we were the only people at the pool. Castellina in Chianti is about a 10 minute drive but a must see little town. David on the Rock🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Collelungo, a slice of paradise in the heart of Chianti country! We took advantage of the Prima Spesa service on arrival, a great selection that fed us amply for two dinners, two breakfasts, morning, afternoon and pre-dinner snacks, and we gave away the extras to our neighbours. Fabiola is an absolute gem. We hadn't realised that there were no taxis in Castellina in Chianti and Fabiola was wonderful helping us to work around that. You really do need a vehicle here, so don't be tempted to do without one! We had a fabulous stay, sampling not only Collelungo's fine wines but those on offer from other vineyards. We also highly recommend visiting the Pomona winery which Fabiola can help arrange. Thoroughly enjoyed our pool time also and have no hesitation recommending Collelungo to anyone wanting an authentic Tuscany experience. Thank you so much Fabiola! ❤️

This area was our favourite in our travels through Tuscany. Quiet location, beautiful vista, a place where you can really relax and recoup. Accommodation was very comfortable - were able to cook up a little dinner. Great facilities with a pool area, outdoor lounge area, communal laundry. Breakfast was available for extra but we didn't partake however it looked good with pastries, cold meats, etc. Only a few kms from the town of Castallina in Chianti which has some lovely restaurants.

This place is absolutely stunning - even much better than on the pictures Apartments are very clean and comfortable and have top quality of furnitures and textiles All the amenities around the house are very well designed - the pool, bar, garden, you will have a peaceful stay with a beautiful view on the vineyards and the town Nearby town is lovely, great local shops and good restaurants

Enjoyed our stay at Collelungo (third visit over 18 years) as much as the first time. It was very quiet when we visited and at times had the pool all to ourselves, sheer luxury! Great place to unwind and great location for exploring Tuscany

The estate is huge, feels like a Spanish farm with exclusive villas for private use, each with a pool. We stayed in the hotel part and it was also amazing, small number of rooms, so that we almost felt like we're alone there. The beds were super comfortable, the room and bathroom were very well equipped and nicely designed. We had a pretty view from the room and every morning felt like a dream. Great breakfasts, you can order eggs if you like, but apart from that you have a great buffet with salmon, ricotta, fresh fruits, cheese, ham and more. For those who complain about breakfasts, I think they just don't know how an Italian breakfast look like. We stayed in three hotels during this trip, and in Viesca we had the best breakfast and the most salty options. Great pool, two tennis courts, bikes, gym and a spa. We will definitely come back!

What a great area! Not many guests, good food, huge space! That is a wonderful place to spend a week holiday with the family. Our house did not have a private swimming pool (like other houses), but we had a access to the main pool close to the bar. We really enjoyed the fact that the area is huge, while not many people.

We had an absolutely incredible stay at Viesca. The setting is beautiful. The photos don't do it justice. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean. Concetta welcomed us and kindly showed us around, talked us through the facilities... The pool is lovely, and it was great to be able to play tennis as well. We did not try any of the spa treatments, but there was a really good selection available. Breakfast was varied and delicious. The only negative thing we have to say about it/Viesca is that breakfast was rather slow. We often had to go inside and order from the bar/find waiters, as they would not necessarily come to your table. The cooked breakfast was not quick, and a better selection would be appreciated (e.g. eggs benedict or royale on nice bread rather than just boiled/scrambled/poached eggs). We look forward to coming back one day - definitely one of the best hotels we've ever stayed at!

Breakfast was amazing. Location of the place just great. very peaceful and beautiful. Swimming pool was very pleasant. The Spa facility was very nice made. Rooms were good, not fancy but good. Toiletries given in the room were AMAZING, nice smell. of course, Ferragamo style. Robe and slippers were offered in the room. Bikes were also offered for us. We ate dinner once there and was very good. The wine type of tasting way to pour in it the glasses by Marco was from another world. Great staff. Marco and Daniela were great. No complaints.

The hotel was the highlight of our stay in Italy. The rooms were excellent, the restaurant and the breakfast areas were just unbelievable. Everything about the hotel was impeccable. The pool was clean and available 24 hours. Special thanks to the restaurant team at the Bistro for such wonderful service. The location is so perfect, it's about 15 minutes from the Outlet Mall and about 30 -60 minutes away from some of the best Wineyards, restaurants and places to go. Its a short drive from Florence, so easy to get to.

Charming villa in a perfect location with lots of period features. The pool was great, however, securing a lounger by the pool was almost impossible given the number of people staying in the villa and cottages. Water should have been provided by the pool for free, especially given that the hotel filters its own water. Restaurant food was very good, although a little pricey. For almost £300 per night I was expecting just a little more.

While you can't really go wrong with a vacation in Tuscany, there are few places that enhance your experience and make your vacation like a romantic movie. Borgo Pignano was that place for me and wife. Set on 700 acres, this self-sustainable farm estate, offers it all whether it be a romantic getaway (which was the case for us) or a family vacation with activities for adults and kids. Even separate pools for families and adults. Poolside bar/drinks is just a few feet away from each. Excellent curated wine list and dinner options on site as well. Bespoke made cocktails for those who wish to indulge beyond wine. The staff is attentive and knows you by name. I suggest renting a car to explore the local towns as it's only an 60-80 minute drive to beaches and Florence. The Spa is excellent. We appreciated that the spa only reserves your booking, so you have the entire spa facility to yourself for the duration of your spa treatment. Your photographs will be postcard or NatGeo worthy. Rooms are larger than average, good WiFi throughout, peace and quiet, great for escaping to one of the many seating areas with a bottle of wine and reading a good book. I can go on, and on. Just book it. You will not be disappointed.

We were looking for an idyllic Tuscan getaway and Borgo Pignano delivered. The building and surrounding grounds are picturesque, encompassing historic buildings. What made our stay unique was the homey atmosphere and personal touch. We were personally welcomed by the General Manager, and the staff made extra effort to make a personal connection. The approach of the property is to recreate a home away from home (if you’re a wealthy villa owner with a full set of staff ha!) with an abundance of cozy common areas, limited signs, and a strong emphasis on sustainable, natural, and homemade products. The views are divine. We stayed at the beginning of April, shortly after the property opened for the season. As such, there was a nice, small group of guests and it was very quiet. Additionally, this meant the pool (so gorgeous!) was closed - they were prepping it for opening later in the month. Special shoutouts to the restaurant manager and front desk staff for being friendly, personable and helping us feel at home. The breakfast spread (included) is wonderful and full of items grown or homemade on the property. Note, two restaurants are available and the prices are not for travellers on a budget. We dined one evening in a room with a communal table and open fireplace but were disappointed with the food for the price point. This, I’d say, was the only blip in our stay. Stay here for a luxurious, yet homey getaway in Tuscany that is a destination in and of itself!

What’s not to love about Borgo Pignano? From the moment you step onto the property, it feels as though you’ve entered another world. This stunning historic estate offers a perfect blend of ancient charm and modern luxury. The amenities are exceptional, and the staff—especially Vittorio and Gigi—are incredibly attentive, ensuring that every aspect of our stay was pleasant and memorable. The on-site Michelin-starred restaurant is a true culinary highlight. We stayed at the San Bartolomeo House, an impressive two-story accommodation with the master suite on the upper floor—thoughtfully designed and beautifully appointed. Breakfast at Borgo Pignano is world-class, and the lower pool offers one of the most breathtaking views we’ve ever seen. To our surprise, the estate even includes a museum filled with antique cars and motorcycles—an unexpected and delightful touch. But what truly stood out to us was the evident love and care that owner Michael Moritz has poured into this place. We were told he knows every staff member by name. That might seem ordinary, but for someone of his stature, it reflects a rare level of humility and personal investment. My wife and I were genuinely impressed by the meticulous attention to detail throughout the property. Borgo Pignano is a treasure in every sense

First, you are welcomed at registration with cool sparkling water, then you are escorted through this enchantedly refurbished estate up to an elegant room and an especially large bathroom for Italy or Europe in general. There is just too much to comment on to succinctly describe its sustainable mission as well as its relaxing atmosphere with great food plus an infinity pool with a panorama view of Tuscany. The pizza and barbecue nights were most fun and a way to mingle with other guests and the staff of Borgo Pignano. At the end of the trip when we had to leave around 4am for the Florence airport, the staff left us some fresh coffee and pastries to make our early departure a little less hectic. The tour with Sylvia, overcoming my phobia of bees with Antonio and the pasta class with Leonardo with some of the highlights just on the grounds. The local area, too, was beautiful using Borgo Pignano as a base to explore the region and the staff are full of tips on where and when to visit various towns and sites. We hope to make this jewel a ritual for us.

loved the big room and huge bed. staff are very friendly. the rooftop bar was open for the last two nights of our stay and it was lovely up there. the bar man was very welcoming. we were in room 3 which was away from the main hotel, on the ground floor near to where breakfast is served. it was a lovely spacious room. we had a leaking air con unit but this was fixed very quickly. we hired bikes from the hotel which was a fab way to get around and lots of fun. the pool. our room was cleaned every day with fresh towels and the beds made. the pool was lovely, very warm! the sauna and steam was nice. we didn’t mind booking a time to use the pool. we can back each evening after a long day exploring and we’re able to biome the pool on the two occasions we wanted to use it, it was great!

The Spa and pool is wonderful very clean, plush and fancy, the pool, sauna and steam are high spec and modern with funky lights so really nice relaxing atmosphere, we also booked the roof top hot tub - it's an extra cost but I highly recommend booking during your stay. The staff were super friendly and made us feel very welcome. Also LGBTQ friendly.

Superb 2 night stay. Hotel within easy walking distance of all the main landmarks in Florence. Spacious, bright and comfortable room. Excellent buffet breakfast each morning with a range of hot and cold items. Friendly and helpful staff, especially the two ladies serving at breakfast and Sandy on the front desk who gave us great recommendations for dinner. The spa was a real bonus and we made use of the pool and saunas. Finally, the terrace on top of the hotel provides incredible views across the city.

Location is good, loved the wellness spa. Guests should be aware that you must book to use the pool and jacuzzi in high season and jacuzzi terrace has a charge. This didn’t deter us, we didn’t get time. We would definitely return. A couple of good nights sleep and a great start to our holiday. Staff were very polite and welcoming. We will definitely be back.

Friendly staff, impecable service Comfortable, big rooms with painted ceiling Nice breakfast (sweet, savory, fresh orange juice, good coffee) Great rooftop hottub (for a surcharge) Cleanliness Pool and saunas Drinking water and ice available at all times

We loved Castello di Velona! The complimentary champagne during check-in was a really nice touch. We stayed in the Terrace Suite with the private pool. The suite was absolutely fabulous, well appointed and very clean. The private pool terrace was truly something special. The views are phenomenal and the private hot springs pool really sets off the vibe. After checking in a getting situated we opted for a poolside meal at the Dolce Vita Pool Restaurant. The service was exceptional and we thoroughly enjoyed our fresh cold press juice and seafood salad. After spending a few hours driving through the local roads we came back and relaxed in the hot springs during sunset. The poolside service was great. We sipped champagne and had fresh fruit while we soaked in the magical sunset. Later that night we had dinner at Settimo Senso Restaurant. Again, the service was truly exceptional and the food was cooked to perfection. With dinner, we enjoyed a bottle of 2010 Brunello Di Montalcino. Magnifico! We really enjoyed our stay at Castello di Velona!

positives included • Views, hotel, thermal pools - for this, best of all our Tuscany • Staff esp. Ling-Vietnamese spa attendant. Ayurveda massage. Further Suggestions: • More water for mini bar • Note the thermal water in guest junior suite room (smelled awful While many positives and we could reduce expectation given we knew they were still reopening, we were disappointed in two main areas: 1. Spa Facial – not a good experience. lacked equipment & product knowledge 2. Extra Daily Cost – when we booked on hotels.com we noted we paid more and chose a room for 3 people. However then later charged additional 120 euros per day for supplement for child. This meant kid breakfast and once making the pull out bed (they never closed it up during the day )However we expected more for this daily surcharge and may have booked a different room since we were getting this additional charge anyway. Reasons we were told we would be charged this is for breakfast, mini bar and use of pool. FOOD- main restaurant okay. best was view. Get picnic supplies for a picnic on site one evening...gorgeous views, warm pools and the grounds itself are the charm!

This is not the first time we have visited the hotel-SPA, and we can say that in this case we found ourselves quite satisfied. Being able to swim in the thermal water pool is a wonderful experience. Also pleased that the thermal baths could be taken right in the room. The most valuable thing about the hotel is its location. Whilst the service was decent, it's accessibility to the main wine regions, and views in all directions was still the most important thing. Stepping out on the patio or climbing out of the pool we were directly frozen by the incredible beauty of Val d'Orcia. The staff were very attentive and tried their best to help. For example, the nearest bridge over the Orcia River was closed for repairs and we would have had to take a circuitous route to the restaurant. However, the member of staff at reception found out that the bridge was accessible at the weekend, even though all the navigators showed otherwise, and we saved a lot of travelling time. One of the most powerful experiences was a wine tasting in the Castle, conducted by the hotel sommelier. He told us about local wine in a wonderful, clear and interesting way, showed us vineyards, shared the secrets of their care and explained the peculiarities of each variety tasted. We were very impressed and grateful for this unique experience!

Stunning hotel, exceeded my expectations! An historical castle in the heart of Val d’Orcia with spa and thermal pool. The food is amazing, you can enjoy fresh seafood by the pool, I really appreciated it!

Castello di Velona is a gorgeous property located high on a hill in some of the most beautiful land in Tuscan wine country. You definitely feel as though you are being transported to a different time and place when you drive through the countryside and arrive at the Castello. The staff is lovely and the breakfast they provide is huge and delicious. The spa and pool area is one of the best and you can spend the day laying by the pool and taking in the breathtaking views. We stayed in a Sunset room which surely lived up to its name with daily views of the beautiful Tuscan sunsets. Make no mistake this is surely a luxury resort and the prices in their various restaurants very much reflect this which is perhaps my only quibble with this property. I recommend enjoying one meal there but you can find similarly delicious foods at much more reasonable prices in the nearby villages which I also recommend exploring. Overall we had a very nice stay at Castello di Velona and if you are looking for a quiet, remote retreat with amazing views it is certainly worth considering.

The Foresteria is a beautiful, calm and quiet agriturismo where you will truly experience an environment to wind down. The apartment was comfortable, the pool and garden are beautiful and very well maintained, and the restaurant is very good. Gabriele, the host and man that wears a thousand hats around the Agriturismo, really makes your stay even better with his happiness, willingness to help and great tips for things to do. The Agriturismo is located perfectly, with a lot of sights around Tuscany within 45-60 minutes. We really enjoyed our stay!

A beautiful old house. comfortably furnished. Large rooms, each with its own bathroom. more than enough space for 11 people. Kids also used the pool, although the weather was not really nice at the end of April. The estate is surrounded by orchards, not what you expect in Tuscany, but very beautiful. We received fresh food and homemade juice as a welcome.

Absolutely TOP place! Beautifull location, great apartment, very nice pool for kids, very friendly and helpful staff (thanks Gabriele for everything). This place has everything.

The location was perfect. Close to many cities like Florenz, Siena, Arezzo, Cortona etc. and yet very quiet and peaceful. Pool is an extra and the staff were very friendly. Monica was like a friend to us, although we can not speak the same language.

Very well kept, very functional and very accommodating/helpful staff. Good size of our accommodation, and well working kitchen. The pool was great.
