The location of the hotel is great, just in the middle of small towns of the italian Toscana. We booked there because we wanted to visit Firenze and Siena (40 minutes by car). We stayed for two nights and enjoyed the place very much, taking advantage to walk in the surroundings, and enjoying the clean air of the place. In order to go to Firenze we decided to avoid the AutoStrade (we took the autostrada regional), so that being able to see the typical sights of the movies inspired in the Toscana (as Chocolate, with Juliette Binoche) Maybe the only thing we did not like so much was the price of the food. First night we had dinner there, and I must say everything was fine (including the service of Patrizia, the person who run the place). It cost us 50 euros (we took only first plate, not like the Italian style of eating first and second. The complete meal would have cost 60 euros). Even though we liked the quality of the food, we thought it was a little expensive (in other places of Europe, like Nice or Barcelona, we managed to eat in good places for less than 45 euros). The second night we decided to eat in the city (Firenze), and eating in a fancy restaurant, we payed exactly the same, including tip).

We had a great time at San Leo, the apartments, the location are beautiful. The Residence is extremely well kept, the gardens and yard fantastic. We also had dinner there in the restaurant and tried some of the local products. The owner Patrizia was very helpful and welcoming. We are a " well travelled" family and often go away for weekend break, and therefore I feel comfortable to recommend this place to anyone. In fact we will be back when the weather will enable us to make use of the swimming pool. 10/10. Thank you. Note : the only thing is that if you arrived at night time, it is not easy to find it. Fortunately we had google maps on iphones to takes us there otherwise we would have ended up sleeping in the car !

We thoroughly enjoyed our all-too-short stay at Residenza San Leo. The apartment was spotless and charming, with plenty of room and beautiful views over the lovely farm and olive groves and surrounding countryside. The dinner was outstanding: everything fresh and from scratch, with farm-made sausages and other pork products, vegetables fresh from the garden (that very day, I suspect, from the taste), bread made in their own bread oven, local wine, and olive oil produced on-site. The meal reminded us that Italy was, after all, the country in which the Slow Food revolution began.

The 5 nights at this farm was my favorite portion of our entire Italy trip. Coming from nyc, relaxation like this was just what I needed. The owner of the farm, Patricia, was always on hand to handle any matter big or small, as well as cooking us dinner on two of the nights. These meals contained food from the farm, both vegetables and meat, almost exclusively. We also met some really fun couples there, both of which we'll keep in contact with.

San Leo is a real nice place to stay if you are going to Toscany and want to be close to many cities and wine fields. Both we and the children loved it. We saw all the fantastic olive trees and the honey production at the farm. All the served food is from the farms own production. The place is authentic and Patricia is a good host - and she speaks several languages which as a foreigner in Italy is a great help. We would recommend this to anyone and consider going back ourselves.

The staff was fanastic - so kind and friendly. Also the photos on the internet did not do the property justice. The property is newly renovated (modern amenities) with self-contained apartments. Its quaint, picturesque and everything you would love to experience in Tuscany. It was beautiful. There are walking trails close by and it is a one hour drive to Siena. It was the perfect escape for a long weekend. The outdoor pool is very well maintained and there is also a separate jacuzzi. The entire property is a working farm and they make their own olive oil and honey. If you want to get a away from it all - its the perfect place to relax and read a good book. I would go back in a heartbeat. Thanks for the wonderful time! Bring all of the things you would bring to an apartment - dish soap, toilet paper and a few extra towels for the pool. Aside from a good book, that's all that you will need.

This was the perfect place to be, if you wanted to feel Italian rural life. A slightly castle-like farmhouse, with their own farming products, lovely environment and a nice and clean apartment to live in. Well-equipped kitchen. We also got a lovely farm meal from the landlord with very short notice. A perfectly lovely place, with enthusiastic staff. Beware that the driving distances to food shops and restaurants are rather long.

The residence is wonderful. We didn't expect such a beautiful and wonderful place when we booked it so we were positevely surprised. The views, comfort were perfect. We stayd there 4 days...unfortunately not more. It was really hard to leave such an amazing place. The stuff was very friendly and we could have tried the best olive oil ever from the owner's plantation. I fully recomend this place in the heart of the Toscany!

Beautifully restored farmhouse, we stayed in a family apartment and it was lovely, so much better than being in a hotel. Charm and Tuscan feel of the building has been preserved, it was such a lovely place to stay. Gardens are gorgeous, the meals prepared lovely (we had breakfasts and one dinner). Great for the kids to experience a working farm and for parents to unwind in the countryside. No internet - but probably a blessing really!

We were here for three nights with a wonderful supper the first night prepared using local and fresh ingredients. They prepare their own oil, which is the best that I have ever tasted, together with wine, meat products, honeys, jams et c. San Leo is located between Figline and Greve. The apartments are well furnished. We were in the redone tower apartment with two bedrooms (each with private bath) and two singles beds in the loft area. Our host was most generous and made us all feel at home. My only regret in writing this review is that too many others will discover this gem in the Tuscan hills.

Великолепно!!!!!!!! Непередаваемое чувство восторга, даже через полгода после пребывания в отеле. Были компанией из 6 человек и проживали в номере на самом верхнем этаже. Замечательные виды из отеля, великолепное окружение из оливковых садов, номер выше всяких похвал. Отель раньше был фермой по производству оливкового масла, осталось некоторое оборудование в подсобных зданиях. Очень интересно гулять по территории, на которой растет огромное количество разных цветов и фруктов. Праздновали там годовщину свадьбы и нам накрыли потрясающий стол из национальных блюд, которые в обычных ресторанах не найти. Рекомендую иметь фонарик, так как ночи темные :-)

Leuke gastvrouw, heerlijk eten, mooie omgeving. De plafonds en muren waren nogal dun, waardoor je kon meegenieten van gestamp van de buren en de televisie (2-pers appartement). Wij zaten duidelijk buiten het seizoen en toen vond ik het al onrustig.

Odlična lokacija z enkratnimi razgledi in izhodiščem za odkrivanje osrednje Toskane! Prostorni apartmaji, lastna proizvodnja oljčnega olja, medu in suhomesnatih izdelkov. Prostor za zaključene družbe in celo organizacijo porok. V toplejših mesecih možnost koriščenja bazena sredi oljčnega nasada. Res idilično!
