What a phenomenal place, fully worth the praise it has received. We stayed in the Uccelli Suite, and it was without a doubt one of the best hotel rooms I’ve stayed in. Beautifully decorated, respecting the vibe of the old house, the rooms were spacious, cozy and elegant at the same time. High ceilings and nice details to let your eyes rest at. It was a delight to sit by the window enjoying an afternoon coffee and look at the Tuscan green hills. Bed very comfortable, crisp linens, and good supporting pillows. The estate is a stylish setting inside out. Staff was wonderful all around, really welcoming.
Breakfast had a broad variety of options, with eggs and coffees served to the table. Cakes, sweet pieces, croissants etc and fruit in a separate table, a juice station, and separate tables for yoghurts and salty breakfast items. A very good continental breakfast. True luxury for me is always measured in fruits, and here that was fulfilled: kiwis and apricots cut in small pieces to have as a fruit salad or with yoghurt etc. The same goes for the fruit salad I ordered by the pool: good fresh pieces of kiwi, pineapple, nectarine and apricot. Loved it.
The restaurant a is a fine dining experience, with tasting menus and a la carte options. As a fine dining restaurant it was on the higher end of the price spectrum but not outrageous by any means. You get what you pay for. Top quality.
Pool area was calm, there is a bar menu service available from the pool bar throughout the day.
