CasaLeTolfe Residence

It was such a beautiful location. You can see all the vineyards and olive trees just by walking around, I could've just sat and relaxed in the peaceful surroundings. It is significantly cheaper than the La Tolfe vineyard next door, and just 5 minutes walk. The next door hotel has a restaurant which you can use and get a 10% discount at. The pool was clean and cool, and also very quiet! They sold wine from the local vineyard at a decent price and the kitchen was fully stocked for you to enjoy a nice homestay.

This is just my poor judgement, but there's no restaurant so you have to bring your own food to cook it. I wasn't driving, so this was a bit of a challenge and I had to eat next door every breakfast, lunch, and dinner, which was quite costly. If you're coming from the train station on the bus, you get dropped off at the bottom of the hill. It's about a 20/30 minute walk up a long gravel path, which may be challenging if you have a suitcase! It was a workout, but I enjoyed seeing the sights on the way. Related, if you want to go into town and not pay extra for a taxi, you will need to walk down the hill (left when you come out of the hotel) to the bus stop, but the road isn't lit so at night it might not feel particularly safe.

We had a lovely stay, the location is scenic, with amazing views over the Tuscan hills. I love the eco vibe of the place and the staff were friendly and accommodating. The pool was very quiet and there are nice common areas. The room came with a small, but very functional kitchen and coffee/tea was provided.

The location is quite remote, so you definitely need a car to do anything off site, Wifi was OK, but if you are needing a high speed connection for work it might not be sufficient. I can't really fault anything else for the money we paid.

The setting is wonderful, on a ridge covered in vineyards, olive groves, beautiful villas, and vistas of surrounding villages. The staff is so attentive. And the adjacent restaurant is delightful.

N/A

The staff at check-in and check-out were very pleasant. The grounds were generally well kept and pool was quite decent.

Bed was not a queen size as expected but a metsl spring setup with 2 rather uncomfortable mattresses pushed together. Windows need screens set up if you are not providing air conditioning otherwise the mosquitos are happy to fly in and get you! Uncomfortable love seat with ugly orange cover placed over it and 2 kitchen chairs only to sit on.
