Il Castagnolo Country B&B

I went with my family (4/ 5 adults) at the end of September. I can say that I have traveled in many places in the world but rarely have I been welcomed with such warmth and especially in a dream location as this... The location is in a very peaceful area, among vineyards and olive trees. Walking through the gate you are greeted by a beautiful building, a swimming pool with clear water, a terrace, lots of vegetation, cleanliness everywhere and especially a smiling staff that is ready to help you with any information you want and to make you feel more than comfortable. Many thanks to everyone who made this unforgettable vacation possible for us and especially to Gian Piero to whom I can say with all my heart that he fully deserves his position as Manager of this location.

Amazing place with amazing and helpful staff. Thank you for welcoming us so warmly. The rooms, the restaurant, the pool—everything is clean and nice. The only problem is with the taxis from San Gimignano it's pretty hard to get one, so keep in mind to have a car or hire a transfer car if you are planning on going for a wine tasting at some nearby wineries. :)

Wonderful place, good location and nice view. The personal was very friendly. Breakfast delicious! Good coffee. The room was nice and tidy. They offer a gift after the check you. You can feel the real “toscana” vibe at Il castagnolo. I would definitely return! I strongly recommend

The place is really nice, the location is amazing. The view, the nature all around, the people of the area, everything was lovely. Marika and Massimo were very helpful and friendly. The little village near by, San Gimignano is so beautiful too, with plenty of restaurants and good food.

The location is located very good between Florence and Pisa,I think 6 km to San Gigmiano (where you can find good restaurants to eat) the view is amazing, the bed very confortable, the garden so nice, the staf so kind and the breakfast good! Good wine and good cappucino! We will definetly come back! Thank you!!

Nice hotel. Clean rooms. Authentic environment. Nice to stay if you need a calm place to rest, relax and enjoy the nature. Nice breakfast. To the nearest trattoria from 3 till 5 km, so you need a car here. As a pleasant surprise we were provided a bottle of local white wine when checked out.

Great little hotel around 4km from San Gimignano. A car is a MUST! We assumed we would get a taxi from town but oh no! 4 hours later we finally begged a taxi to come back for us. This hotel is idyllic, charming and amazingly run by Laura. No English spoken but it didn’t matter. She is a delight and would do anything for us. Luckily she speaks Spanish as did my wife. She even gave us a bottle of their home grown wine as a parting gift! The wine and olive oil they make are out of this world! Our room was a little poky but we discovered bigger rooms were available. Check when booking. It was very clean and serviced daily. Breakfast was great. Continental meats, cheese, pastries, cakes (made by Laura). Cafe Macchiato was incredible! Lunch and dinner food options are limited but they do have a kitchen with fridge you can use. Food and bar closed at 7. Worth bringing your own food & drinks. Local wine was around €13 a bottle so great value and delicious should you buy at the property. The pool area is amazing! Relaxing and peaceful. Just birds tweeting and the odd cyclist on the nearby road. We didn’t see any people some days. Felt like our own private villa! Highly recommended just make sure to get a car!

Great location, great breakfast, very helpful and friendly staff, all in all a wonderful vacation. A special THANK YOU to you, DEAR MADAM from Il Castagolo (I'm sorry I don't know your name) for helping me prepare a birthday surprise. I will never forget your kindness.

Loved the place. Very friendly host and very cosy atmosphere. Very easy to find. Close to San Gimignano where there are many nice restaurants and food places. Only thing that could have been better was the WiFI.
