Villa Sangiovese  

Surrounding countryside stunning but little to do in village.Host excellent

I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone for the following reasons, which I feel merit the full explanation I have given below. In short, the owner of this hotel is an odious individual who should not be in the hotel business if he does not want to be polite, or even honest to his guests. He does not deserve your custom and there are plenty of agriturismos and other hotels in the area which offer far superior (and in some cases cheaper) accommodation and service. During our two week holiday in Italy, we decided to visit the Chianti region on Sunday 11 September, the day of this year's wine festival in Greve in Chianti. When we looked for accommodation, the hotels in Greve in Chianti were full and so we searched for accommodation within walking or cycling distance of Greve. We chose Villa Sangiovese because its website stated (and still states today), unambiguously and without qualification: "we can arrange bicycle hire for you". A week ahead of our arrival, I telephoned the hotel to ask if they would be kind enough to arrange cycle hire for us on the Sunday. The owner's response was simply: "Do it yourself", repeated three times, followed by the helpful insight that the local cycle hire venues are "closed on weekends". This initial taster of the owner's rudeness and of the misleading nature of the hotel's literature was unfortunately borne out during our stay. The hotel's restaurant menu offered several "fresh, handmade" pasta dishes. Further enquiry revealed that these pastas were neither made on the day, nor made at the restaurant, and the pasta with funghi which we chose was over-cooked. We then chose the "bistecca alla fiorentina" - a steak which, incidentally, the hotel's website advertises as the "house speciality". The house speciality was also over-cooked. The price of the steak was listed on the menu as €3.50-€4.00 per 100g and we ordered an 800g steak.

Een aanrader. Prima locatie, voorkant is aan een gezellig pleintje en achter heeft men vanuit de tuin een prachtig uitzicht waar men s-morgens in alle rust kan genieten van een lekker ontbijt. Zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Kamers zijn heel netjes. Wij hebben er genoten.

Die Lage der Top-gepflegten Villa und die damit verbundene Aussicht von Frühstücksterasse und Restaurant sind einfach nur überwältigend. Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber und mit Klimaanlage und Insektenschutznetzen vor den Fenstern ausgestattet, unser Badezimmer war groß und modern. Das Frühstück, das Essen im hoteleigenen Restaurant sowie der Pool mit Liegewiesen unter Olivenbäumen konnten ebenfalls voll überzeugen - jederzeit wieder!

guter Service, gute Lage, hervorragende Küche, angemessener Preis

Trevlig personal = ägarna (schweiziskt par). God engelska. Bra storlek på rummet med utsikt över byns torg. Intressant marknad I byn på Söndagar.

部屋も庭も清潔で綺麗です。教会を中心とした美しい村です。徒歩圏内にワイナリー、レストラン、有名なハム- 屋などがあります。
