Il Castagno Vacation Rentals

"Exceptional views from this property. The room was for 4. It had a rustic farm house vibe. Unfortunately there was mold in the bathroom and a nest of spiders in the beams above the bed (which my husband was happy to sleep under - so we ignored). There is no noise insulation between floors and you can hear other guests above you, but everyone was respectful and noise minimal. The spare blankets in the cupboard needed a wash and were unusable. Otherwise room was clean and comfortable. The infinity pool was great and generally quiet creating a relaxing atmosphere. You need a car if you stay in one of the annexes otherwise you would have to walk up a hill. We had access to a balcony and a common area. The kitchen was accessible but you are not allowed to use unless you book an apartment.) Breakfast was very good and the terrace is amazing. We only had interaction with two staff members. One was lovely, friendly and helpful. The other was the complete opposite, which ruined some of the shine. Overall lovely place to stay, fantastic grounds and we will definitely try and visit again!"

"We loved our stay. The hotel had really nice breakfasts included and the pool was fantastic after a hot day walking around the old city. We had a standard room and we were expecting it to be small. It was very small - it was difficult to find space for our cases and the shower was so small that it was hard to use it without banging your elbows. The room did include a nice outdoor balcony which made up for the super small room. The hotel was an easy walk into the old city."

"Had an amazing time staying here for our honeymoon. Property is stunning. Rooms are comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. Inifinity pools looking over vineyards are iconic and a dream. The food was incredible and so fresh. I can’t wait to be able to return one day! Perfect romantic destination! "

"This hotel was a perfect stay for our trip. The staff was amazing and very helpful. "

"Beautiful place to stay and enjoy . "

"We were just looking for a way to get away from the inner city, Rome, Florence, etc. this is the nicest place in the north we had stayed with the most hospitality in the north definitely recommended stay in the countryside of Tuscany here rather than in Florence Rome, we love it so much. We booked another night before we go home."

"This a beautiful property just a short drive from SAN GIMIGNANO. The buildings, and grounds are magnificent. Very well taken care. Rooms were big and comfortable. The included Breakfast was very good Parking it's free and at the property. They have a FREE shuttle service to go to SAN GIMIGNANO, and BACK to the hotel. I ve been to San Gimignano 3 times, it's a wonderful medieval town, BUT parking outside the city walls, it's a pain. On previous trip, for 2 different days we had to wait in line for someone to leave the parking to get into the parking lot. Also it's kind of expensive parking .(more than 20 euros for the daytime) So for us leaving our car at the hotel, and going to San Gimignano and back to the hotel, with the offered shuttle WAS GREAT option. Not to worry where to park, and not waiting in line for a parking spot. The hotel STAFF was AMAZING. Super friendly, they had always a smile, and offer a solution for every request. We were 5 people traveling in 2 cars, One of the people of the group got a room, in an area with an ELEVATOR. The other 4 people, got a room in an older area of the property WITHOUT ELEVATOR, but the hotel staff, HELPED US WITH OUR LUGGAGE, at check in, and at check out. (Thank you) The hotel has an in property restaurant. Kind of expensive, the food was good, but the staff at the restaurant, did not speak much English, so communication was a problem. We will DEFINTIVLY will stay there again, on our return to TOSCANA. "

"We were a group of 10 who just returned from a 4 night stay at this beautiful hotel. It exceeded our groups expectations. It is quaint, in a beautiful setting. The staff was excellent, accommodating any request that was made. Restaurant is very good, included breakfast was great, many choices. We enjoyed the pool and the bar servers at the pool were excellent. Overall a wonderful stay and would highly recommend. "

"This stay was perfect. Location was out and alone but the property was safe and comfortable. Clean pool, nice breakfast and luxurious rooms. I would go back again in a minute! We all loved our stay here."
