    Bear in mind that the swimming pool is out of bounds in the low season.

    The location was fantastic. Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves and 15 minutes to San Gimignano. Very restful spot with plenty of outdoor seating. The host, Alessandro was excellent.

    We've planned only 1 night in Casale del Cotobe, once we were in our way to Siena and Montalcino. I should have stayed1 2 nights in Casale del Cotone to stroll around.

    This property is breathtaking, absolutely stunning since I have felt in a movie. It is not about a hotel, it is a true experience of staying and living a Toscany life for the time lenght you spend there. The room myself and my friend stayed was large, comfortable and again, looks like a truly elegant family house. In the morning, after an outstanding sunrise (which started by the room's window), we were delighted with a fantastic and mouthwatering breakfast.. It was the first stopped in Toscana and was by far the best place I have stayed. Alessandro, congratulations for your place! Thanks for your warm welcome!

    Rooms are fine... maybe a bit a refresher would be nice,

    Alessandro runs a GREAT Place in a super Location. The house is full of "style" fully fitting the owner... all well done... with the necessary touch/look of "roughness" Authentic. Perfect location to visit San Gimignano and all Tuscany, well organized. Relaxing Park for Sundowners and nice pool. Alessandro is probably the "coolest" host Italy can offer,,, and he is a fantastic cook! Book a dinner.

    Absolutely need a car to stay at this property. We arrived after dark at Poggibonsi (nearest train station) and couldn’t get a cab for love nor money. Catching cabs during the day also fraught as you need to book them 24 hours in advance and they cost an arm and a leg.

    Beautiful setting. Amazing breakfast and dinner. Colorful and interesting host.

    Nothing! Was wonderful- dinner isn’t available every night so when prepared to go to the nearby town for dinner some nights.

    The property is stunning. Such a wonderful location for exploring nearby Tuscany, but still having a tranquil base to return to relax to. Alessandro was amazing- his dinner was incredible (some of the best food we had in Italy) and he did everything he could to make us feel welcome. A Truly magical stay!

    The bed was a bit uncomfortable but nothing that would not make me come back.

    location is fabulous for visiting Tuscany, the place is rustic but clean and very well maintained. The first night at location the host Alessandro made a dinner for guests and it was fantastic. if you stay here you do want to do the dinner when Alessandro cooks.

    Alessandro was the most lovely host we had on our trip through Tuscany. His place is stunning, with loads of love for details, a beautiful view and nice and cosy rooms. Our highlight was the 4 course dinner he cooked for us and the other guests. His tips for activities in the area are so useful. Definitely coming back. Absolutely recommend this place.

    Beautiful and cosy, with the best view over Tuscany. The swimming pool isn’t just a pool, it’s a celebration of water - with pool beds so comfortable you’d have a better chance waking up Snow White than me after an hour in them.

    The location is exceptional. It is surrounded by vineyards and olive groves and offers wonderful views of the Tuscan landscape. In addition, a very beautiful garden with many different trees and flowers. There is a large and comfortable pool area where it was very nice to rest on a hot summer day. All the staff were extremely friendly, always smiling, especially Alessandro who was very kind and caring. If possible, I recommend attending Alessandro's dinner, because the food he prepares is absolutely delicious and the whole atmosphere is simply wonderful.

    The air conditioning in the room didn't work, apparently because the central system was still set to heating rather than cooling due to the change in seasons. But the night temperatures were cool enough that we could leave the windows open and had cool breeze.

    Exceptionally beautiful property that is also well maintained! Very nice, friendly host (Alessandro Martelli), who went above and beyond to make our stay very memorable. The dinner he served was amazing. He also accommodated our early morning departure by making the breakfast earlier than their regular time. I wish we could have stayed longer!

    Bed was very firm. Would have preferred softer blankets. Did not see a way to heat the room.

    Alessandro was the consummate host, very kind and generous. He made himself available for our very late check in and gave us a ride into town. Alessandro shared much information and stories that made our stay more comforting and complete. The property is beautiful with a dreamy Tuscan countryside setting surrounded by vineyards and olive trees. Breakfast was delicious and filling with a nice cappuccino. While walking the garden I enjoyed the company of a couple of friendly cats. We had a most lovely and relaxing stay.
