It’s a lovely hotel. Reception was nice and the room very clean with an incredible view out the window of the valley behind. No balcony but a Juliet railing with large opening windows. The breakfast buffet was excellent, self serve with exception of coffee which was served by a very pleasant waiter. Parking is a bit of challenge in a steeply sloped narrow driveway beside the hotel.Take the time to line up the car to go straight through the narrow gate and you’ll be fine. Also very nice sitting area beside the restaurant.
Viagem em casal de 3 noites. Local incrível, fácil acesso, excelente localização. Vista maravilhosa, quartos espaçosos, café da manhã incrível e piscina muito boa.
This was a fantastic place to stay while visiting Montalcino. Spectacular views from our room and from the breakfast area and pool deck. Staff was very hospitable, and the breakfast buffet was really good. Mimosa’s restaurant recommendations were on point😎.
I picked this place somewhat randomly for me and my dad and did not regret it. Walking distance to great restaurants and gelato. Rooms are not elaborate, but you’re not there to stay in your room.
A couple of suggestions:
- if you put this place into Apple Maps or Google Maps, IT WILL SEND YOU UP A GRAVEL AGRICULTURAL ROAD WITH 20% GRADE, the Strada Communale Del Canaliccio. OMG, my heart was in my throat driving up this and we narrowly avoided an accident. Instead, ask Maps app to take you to Via Pietro Strozzi, then to the hotel. We made it safely, but there was some stress!!
- there is very little permanent parking at the hotel. Drive there, drop your stuff, and they will give you a parking pass and directions to parking.
- this may not be the place for those with severely limited mobility. The cobblestone roads are pretty steep.
- if you need suggestions for wineries, there are so many, but Col D’Orcia won’t let you down. Book ahead.🍷
