"Everything was really nice,I had received a good service, the only thing to regret was a "cocktail" which was never offered to me, as they told me in an email"

"This "hotel" is actually a small ancient village that's been restored as a resort. It's extraordinary, though keep in mind that you'll walk outside to go to the restaurants, the lobby, etc. We absolutely loved this. Our suite had a massive patio and amazing sunset views, though our west-facing view was just trees and not the quintessential Tuscan farmland and rolling-hills view; for that you will want a suite in Alto-Borgo, the slightly uphill part of the resort with perfect southeast-facing views. The downside is those rooms are a 10 min walk from the restaurants and main part of the resort, whereas the original suites are right in the village. Oh, and by "village" I don't mean tourists and shops. There aren't any. Zero. It's totally private. And it's not near anything, so no security issues or lookieloos at all. This is a UNESCO site and so they could not build anything new, but only remodel whatever was already there. First surprise is that the road to get there is dirt. Due to UNESCO they can't pave it. Though some small sections of the ancient stone road remain, it's 99% dirt for several kilometers. A couple of disappointments are the main restaurant and the concierge service. The main, Michelin-starred restaurant is great for breakfast, but according to many guests we spoke to it's a let-down for dinner. However the Osteria restaurant is great, and dining at the golf club is good for pizza night. The concierge issues were perplexing for such an amazing resort."

"Beautiful views from the bedrooms and excellent breakfast."

"Lovely garden area in the back with a view. Convenient location inside the medieval gate. Friendly staff. "

"The staff was very helpful, pleasant and spoke perfect English."

"Not in the city center but close enough to walk. Good breakfast. Clean and comfortable."

"Probably the best hotel I have ever stayed at. The staff were very friendly, the food was fantastic, the location was incredible. Very close to San Gimignano so lots to do and see around the area. The pool at the main house very clean and has amazing views. The Wine Tour and cooking class both very fun and great value for money. Would absolutely recommend anyone to stay here and will be returning in the future. "

"Our second stay at CDV. Such a special place in Tuscany. The hotel has made many improvements since our last stay, and has nothing but 5 star amenities, the friendliest staff, and the incredible castle hotel with views of the Tuscan countryside. This is world class luxury. The spa is in a league of its own, the restaurant and chefs are making top quality cuisine. I can not wait to come back! "

"Staying at this old monastery is such a uniquely different guest experience! Surrounded by fantastic old architecture and history, in a quiet location, with beautiful courtyards, Italian garden and an ornately decorated old church. Staff was friendly. Dine in the courtyard which is in a romantic setting, whereas the restaurant lacks ambiance. Amazing breakfast options, dining on patio overlooking the Italian garden. The room was small, but we were happy to get a queen bed."
