Beautiful property with gorgeous view of the tuscan countryside, the heated pool overlooking the view and the sauna makes it a special relaxing stay. The breakfast in the morning is one of the best one we had in Italy with scrumptious homemade bake tarts and desserts. The staff are all very nice and the room are spacious

Limited transportation and the taxis were extremely expensive they will charge 165 euros one way for 30 minute drive. If you plan to go to Tuscany you need a car btw most cars are manual I don’t know how to drive it so I was stuck in the hotel for few days. To use public transportation you need to walk 39 minutes and is a lil dangerous because they don’t have side walk in the 15minutes from your trip.

Truly a 5 star experience from arrival to the comfortable room and situated in the hills of beautiful Tuscany. The only issue was the restaurant which is not owned by the hotel unfortunately. There are plenty of restaurant and dining options around the town (try Nello) so get out and explore. I would definitely come back and stay at this resort.

This place was Heaven on Earth. We loved every minute of our short stay, and wish we could have stayed longer. Any future trips to Italy will include a stay with Villa I Barronci. From the gorgeous pool to the stunning and perfectly executed restaurant to the wonderful views of Tuscany, complete with hot air balloons rising from the mist in the morning, our expectations were exceeded at every turn. Thank you for a wonderful stay, our favorite of the weeks we spent traveling Italy.

Receptionist (blonde hair) most unhelpful. We were attending a wedding and needed an iron only to be told there were none available as all 2!! were let out. I asked if a request to return could be made but she said NO. One eventually found but I was asked to bring down to reception with the ironing board!! I left it outside the room!!There were 3 hangers in our bedroom and they were too big to hang unless at an angle. (One receptionist did bring more, lady with long dark hair) Food totally unimaginative given its Tuscany. Despite promo on web, piazza not available at lunch. Salad was served in great hunks. Ditto fruit salad at breakfast which had to be cut at the table. Very disappointing given location...and cost! Housekeeping was excellent

Dear Mr. Cabras,First of all we thank you for choosing to stay with us.The wedding event had been organized by a hotel near us that booked various rooms but you were not on the list. Until your arrival we unfortunately did not know the reason for your stay as nobody had informed us.From the first moment of your arrival you have requested several services that our hotel does not offer. We tried to help you right away. The first request was the shuttle service. Your lady was disappointed because nothing was arranged by our villa to go to the other hotel. To be able to answer with confidence I immediately called the reception of the other hotel to find out what they knew about this service and unfortunately they confirmed that the bride and groom did not provide anything for the guests. In a short time my colleague arranged taxis for you for the required days and hours. Your second request was the laundry. We informed you that the hotel does not offer this service. When your lady in a not-so-kind tone asked how she could arrange the wedding clothes, we told her we could give you an iron when needed. On the morning of the wedding you came to the reception, it was a little over 8 a.m. asking for the iron.I told you that unfortunately, both irons we have in the hotel were still in the rooms, as other wedding guests had asked for the evening before they could iron their clothes before going out for the pre-wedding dinner.At that point your wife began to argue that she had reserved the iron. I explained to her that in the hotel we have 24 rooms and only 2 irons as it is not a service that is often requested.Your lady kept insisting in an angry way that I have to immediately call the rooms where the irons were and have them returned to the front desk.I had replied that I am sorry but at this time I cannot wake up other customers, but around 9 a.m. I will call right away and as soon as I get an iron back we will bring it to your room immediately.And I had done so. The guests in one room even got angry because they were still sleeping because they came back late from the pre-wedding dinner. Unfortunately, after half an hour, none of the irons had been returned, so I had asked the housekeeper if there was still the iron that previous customers had broken some time ago.The housekeeper found the broken iron still working. I called you to the room to tell you about it, and that the girl would bring it to you right away together with the board.Shortly after the iron was delivered to you, you left and did not return for several hours. In the meantime other wedding guests asked us for irons for the same reasons but we did not want to take the iron also from your room without your permission.When you called reception the afternoon before going to the wedding to hear if everything was ok with your taxi, my colleague (lady with long dark hair) politely asked if you could either bring the iron and board back to reception or leave them outside at the door

The resort and spa itself was clean, well maintained, and the staff was helpful and accommodating. The air conditioning in both the rooms we stayed in was poor and the rooms remained uncomfortably hot. The attached restaurant was terrible to deal with (and the only restaurant onsite). The staff was slow and forgetful. On two occasions, the waiter forgot our bottle of wine. On one occasion they brought the bottle out halfway through our meal after we asked a second time for the wine. On the other occasion we ordered a bottle, the food came, we asked another waiter for the wine, we finished the food and still no wine. When we went to pay for the meal we had to tell the hostess to remove the wine from our bill as we never received it. Overall, not a welcoming experience and would not return to this resort.

Lovely stay!
Amazing trip. Lovely, relaxing oasis with an intimate feel due to the hotel size. Rooms were spacious, beds were large, air con worked very well. Setting up transportation was easy thanks to the staff, and we truly enjoyed spending time by the pool and enjoying the restaurant. For the same price and room type as our friends, they received a significantly larger room, but we were still very happy with the size. Very comfortable!

Tuscan resort that’s reasonably priced
The hotel is in a pretty secluded spot. Wonderful views of Tuscan vineyards and olive trees. Heated pool and Finnish sauna. Wanted to get the tree house room but couldn’t, fully booked through the rest of the year. Definitely a good resort and it’s pricing is very budget.

Dear Guest, Thank you for your spending your holiday with us! Sorry that you did not feel welcome here.. unfortunately with such a coward anonymous review we can not even think of who you are and what happened during your stay: honestly we do not remember anyhting bad that was told to us or any strange face while here. As concerns the extras, yes, you needed to pay any single service here as you only booked ROOM WITH BREAKFAST.. so we do not understand why we should offer you free services if they are not included. Next time, we suggestion read carefully before you book a cheap room and expect more than it is possible. Every other Client is better than you! Thank you! Consuelo

Beautiful property in a lovely area. Friendly, helpful staff and comfy room. Stayed in a large room in the annex building, so direct access to outside. Bathroom, room, and main hotel areas were well kept, just had older area rugs on the tile floors in our room that could be cleaner, but otherwise everything was clean and housekeeping did a great job everyday. If you're there in the summer you might need bug spray for the mosquitoes etc, (and if you're in an annex room, of course you are closer to the outdoors, so you might track in an ant or a fly) but it's worth it for the quiet, natural surroundings. The view from the restaurant is truly amazing! Restaurant serves nice food at dinner and lunch, buffet breakfast was good too!
