You Must Stay at Castiglion del Bosco in Tuscany

10.0

My wife, nine-year-old daughter, and I stayed here for four days. It was, in a word, perfection. Located on a hill opposite of Montalcino overlooking Val d’Orcia, it was the best service we’ve had - ever. From the guest relations staff to the dining staff to the housekeeping staff to the spa staff, to a person, our experience was exceptional. We stayed in a Terrace Suite which is large enough for a long stay. The staff helped us rent a car to explore Montalcino and beyond. Quiet and relaxing, the infinity pool overlooks the valley. The entire resort was quiet and restful, and very relaxing. If you’re asking - it’s ten stars. If you want a relaxing week in Tuscany with exceptional service, stay here.

Coach Francesco is proficient in English and super energetic with his Spanish drills. The tennis court is well maintained (Astro turf in clay colour) and higher up on a hill with pleasant views and nice breeze. The ice towels and water is a refreshing touch

I tried it - nice, but a one time experience

Very nice property that attempts to elevate every area (meaning that they try very hard to justify a uniquely expensive stay). It is a remote location so you are not walking into a town. Which can be a positive or negative depending on your perspective. It is nice to be at a beautiful infinity pool looking at Tuscan hills with few other guests with you. But is it the experience that i am looking for when in Italy paying this much money? Lots of of youngish guests that were staying for a night or two - likely so that they can say that they stayed at this top property. It is of course a beautiful place and I would never suggest that it is a property that I would refuse to experience. Would I go back for these prices - no, I would not. But if money is no object and value is not a driver, this is a beautiful spot and worth a couple of nights en route to Florence. And if money is really no object, stay in a house for a week and relax in Tuscany.

Pros: Pools - 2 large nice outdoor pool areas (1 adult, 1 family) with great views of rolling hills Food - great quality casual dinner restaurant but should have more daily specials for people staying longer that don't eat a lot of the seafood/meat options Service - attentive bell/front desk/customer service staff and pool/wait staff and housekeeping staff, concierges/front desk answered whatsapp messages promptly and helped with planning or if needed something sent to room Breakfast - huge amazing breakfast buffet and chef custom-made pancakes and waffles with toppings inside less dense Cons: Gravel Roads/Trails - unpaved gravel roads/trails for 15min or so to/from property and within property to get around, **have to be very careful driving since roads not level and not enough space for 2 cars so can easily get rocks in wheel/tire and leak air unless you drive right in the middle slowly Understaffed - many times pool had only 1 person serving for everything towel/chair service and taking orders, didn't turn-over chairs after people left, never came to chairs for drinks had to go up and order, pool chefs overwhelmed took 45min for basic salad and nobody there AC functioning issues - rooms not well-ventilated so wouldn't cool below 70 without fan on high which is loud so didn't sleep well Limited Carts - only had couple carts for entire property and not enough bell/valet staff/carts to take you around if you are older/not able to walk far and room is far its a problem or to get too/from adult pool Grounds under-maintained - deer poop along trails, hedges/weeds not trimmed in front of pool blocked view
