Villa Di Sotto

Lovely countryside location. Beautiful terrace overlooking the vineyards. Cool swimming pool. Friendly staff. Nice views and setting in the resturant for breakfast

The self catering apartment was spacious but lacked a few amenities - the kitchen didn’t have a cheese grater, a sharp knife other than a bread knife and the AC was only in the kitchen / living area not the bedroom so my partner and I ended up sleeping on the pull out sofa bed in the kitchen / living rather than the big double bed in the bedroom.

L’emplacement incroyable dans les vignes du Chianti, la piscine et le restaurant

La climatisation était très bruyante

Very kind personel. Familiar atmosphere. Villa di sotto is run by a family members and you feel with them like in your own family. They are talking with the guest. They want to show Tuscany. The food at the reataurant was very good.

The surroundings are amazing. The view you have over the vineyards is just absolutely stunning! The b&b has a restaurant where you eat breakfast and where you can also get lunch or dinner. We had pasta for lunch and it was great! Every day you can make use of on of the free spa areas.

Overall, we rate this stay a six because we missed the typical “b&b vibe” which is more personal and at ease. We more had the feeling that we were staying in a hotel, which is okay if that is what you like. When we first arrived we were too early for check-in. Not at any moment we implied or demanded that we wanted to have access to our room, we just wanted to relax somewhere. However, we were told we could only start using the facilities (e.g. the pool) when we were checked in. From that moment we did not feel really welcome there unfortunately. After having lunch and visiting a winery we came back to check in, and then we were welcomed in a friendlier way. Overall, the accommodations were a little outdated, however it is stated that it’s because they want to maintain the classic Tuscan vibe. Also the mattress could use an upgradeW We did one of the activities “wine painting” which included that we could paint something using paint that was made by grapes. We were a little disappointed as it was quite basic and just “paint something from a photo” without really any further guidance. What could have made it better to do it outside because you have the live view there, and maybe get a class of wine. The person who did the experience was very nice though.
