"Our stay at Castelfalfi was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, the property’s breathtaking beauty was immediately evident. The views of the rolling Tuscan hills from the Olivo Restaurant and the spa pools are absolutely unparalleled – it’s a scene straight out of a dream. I had the privilege of proposing to my girlfriend here, and it was truly magical. The setting was perfect, and the staff made it even more special. Benjamin, in particular, went above and beyond to ensure we felt welcomed and cared for throughout our stay. His hospitality made all the difference. I can’t recommend this place enough. We indulged in a wine tasting, which was an incredible experience. The tour of the facilities was informative, and we even had the opportunity to taste some of their finest wines in their beautiful underground cellar. Every glass was a testament to the quality and care they put into their production. Dinner at the property was equally impressive. The Bistecca alla Fiorentina was cooked to perfection—juicy, tender, and full of flavor. It was a highlight of our trip. During our stay, we also had the chance to explore the charming town nearby, where we enjoyed coffee, gelato, and pizza while soaking in the stunning views. The spa experience was a major highlight. The massage was incredibly relaxing, and the spa’s serene atmosphere was the perfect complement to the natural beauty surrounding us. The pool area was pristine, offering a peaceful oasis to unwind "

"This was one of the best vacations I’ve ever taken. My partner and I got a true taste of Italy. The food was delicious and simple, the staff was kind and friendly, and the property was modern and well-kept. Beautiful place with beautiful people. I can’t wait to go back!"

"This is a working winery and while the apartments are somewhat rustic and without air conditioning they provided much of the charm and experience that we were looking for during our stay in Tuscany. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the wines produced by the winery. Natalia and Roberta were especially friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the buffet dinner that was available on our first night that included delicious food and wines. We also took advantage of the daily breakfast since the location is somewhat remote. Alternatively, one could easily prepare their own breakfast in the apartment kitchen but we opted for the convenience. Although remote the property is conveniently located in the countryside about midway between Florence and Siena which were the two cities we planned to visit during our stay. There is a pool on the property and we did also enjoy a stroll into the vineyards one evening to watch the sunset. The reason for the lower rating with facilities is primarily around some plumbing inconvenience which was not confined to just our unit but was being appropriately addressed by the property and we did not experience any issues on our last couple of days. Overall, our experience was excellent and I would stay there again if I return to Tuscany."

"Lovely grounds, beautiful apartment, grocery stores close by, great jumping off point for exploring Tuscany!"

"Excellent staffs. Beautiful property. "

""This place serves the best breakfast in all of Italy—truly unforgettable! The pool is spectacular, never crowded (guest-only access), and perfect for a relaxing dip. The gym is a great addition, well-equipped and convenient. The spa is fantastic, though some amenities like the sauna, showers, and relaxation areas aren’t included unless you’re staying in one of the wellness rooms, which is a bit unusual compared to other luxury spas. Still, the overall experience is top-notch, and I’d highly recommend it for a luxurious getaway!""

"We enjoyed our stay immensely! The food, friendliness, and hospitality were all excellent as were our accommodations. We couldn’t ask for a better experience. "

"Super new … perfect in all … great breakfast … next door … Osteria … or Michelin starred restaurant… Goooo … and visit Leonardo da Vinci museum"

"Everything is absolutely perfect here. In the heart of Tuscany, you can tell everything was thought about with precision. If you don’t stay here, you are making a mistake. This is your sign, book this hotel."
