Great Location to explore Monterigioni and San Giminano.

The site heavily suggested accommodation was in the castle where most rooms are in a seperate building. There also was no access to the top of the castle where the spectacular view are advertised. There was no air-conditioning working.

The breakfast was delicious! Staff friendly.

Check in was so late and check out was too early! The pool closed at 8 p.m. we didn’t have a chance to enjoy it! To be fair we only stayed one night.

Beautiful property

Beautiful place and the staff is very kind.

It was summer when we went and the AC in the room doesn’t really work. Even with the windows open it was upmost unbearable to sleep in the room.

Environment was very nice! pool also very nice

No special towels for pool - used towels from the room Reception closed a lot of the time chairs at pool not comfortable

location

We love it here! And Mauro is the best! We stayed at Castel Pietraio for 3 nights and it was the perfect base for our day trips to neighboring towns. The inclusion of breakfast in the mornings had everything we needed, and the room was clean and cozy. Mauro, the owner, gave us a tour of the cantina and taught us about their wine making process. You can tell he works hard and has a kind heart. We had a wine tasting afterwards and would have bought every single bottle if we didn't have to pack lightly.

very poor breakfast

Beautifully restored building.

When walking the Via Francegina it is a good distance from Monteriggioni.

Great location, cute rooms, historical castle, with beautiful surroundings

Bathroom (shelf in the shower, little chair to place amenities bag, etc)

Clean comfortable rooms and friendly staff.

This is a beautiful and authentic historical wine resort in stunning surroundings, with elegant and very comfortable rooms. The owner and his staff are welcoming, and we enjoyed a wine tasting on our first day; the breakfast was excellent. There is also a great restaurant in walking distance (550m). The location is ideal for exploring the region by car (Florence, Siena, San Gimigniano, Monteriggioni, and many other beautiful places in the Chianti region).

great location

it would have been nice to have more access to the property

Wonderful setting. Very comfortable room. Excellent breakfast and service. Seniors must take great care of pebbly ground.

This is a beautiful castle set in the Touscan countryside.

very clean , amazing garden, the lady that met us in the reception made for us a tour in the area and explained some historical stories about the place, was really nice. the breakfast is amazing

the checkout was early for us

Castel Pietraio is in a fantastic location and is certainly an atmospheric and interesting place to stay. It is sited on the Via Francigena so in a perfect position for walking and biking. The countryside around is beautiful, the little village Strove nearby has a useful café/restaurant. Beds were comfortable and it was very quiet and peaceful at night. The pool is large with beautiful views and a nice sunbathing area.

The apartment rooms are definitely dated; broken loo seat, fridge door that did not seal and gas stove with only two working rings. Self catering was possible but there was minimal kitchen equipment e.g. no chopping board or vegetable knife. Staff were quick to help with any issues (no mugs and unable to get the gas to work) but there is a certain feeling of abandonment about the place; drinks and cigarette butts left out by other visitors were not tidied up; although we stayed there a week there was no offer of a change of linen or towels or housekeeping for the apartment. The entrance to the castle is made up of uneven ground and quite rough and rocky in areas; steps are steep and after rain slippery. Fortunately, the weather was cooling down when we stayed but the small air-conditioning units (which we did not use) would not be sufficient to keep the rooms at a comfortable temperature. Some paving tiles around the pool are broken which, from past experience with children, can be extremely dangerous.

Wonderful hosts, delicious breakfast, great location for day trips

Need to make reservations at the restaurants in walking distance to ensure you don’t have to drive. A communicable kitchen would also make thing simple as you could prepare a small dinner at the facility if the restaurants were full.

Gabriel the manger was the most kind and welcoming ! 😍😍😍

The room size and the bed :)

How lovely is it to spend time on your holiday in a real castle. Excellent swimming pool and a very nice restaurant in Strove (on walking distance). Gabriele and Christiano were very helpful!

The kitchen / kitchenette is outdated. But who needs one when you have an excellent breakfast at the castle and a very nice restaurant nearby.

The room was clean and the castel itself is very beautiful. The lady on the reception is nice.

Well! Though the AC was supposedly working as we were told, but the room was overly hot and we could not get any sleep, especially that the temperature was in the 90s. The AC is not adequate for what the room actually requires to cool. There was absolutely no difference between the temperature in the hallway and inside the room. On another note, when we booked the room, we specified that it was for 2 adults and 1 kid and we had to pay of course extra money for the superior room to fit 3 people. Yet, although breakfast is included in the rate, we were charged 15 Euros for breakfast for our son (eventhough he wasnt feeling well and he did not eat anything at all, and the management was aware of that). Also, the wifi in the room (Room 3) did not work. Luckily, we only stayed one night there.

Gabriel made the stay wonderful. Without her, it might have been just average. Good service goes a long way.

Staff excellent - Gabriele made the stay excellent - she takes care of everything!

Good location for exploring Tuscany. Very helpful and accommodating staff. Beautiful place.

Fantastic place. Very quiet and great staff.

Staff were great, clean and comfortable room, wonderful breakfast spread in the AM. Location was a little more isolated then expected but was still not that far from the little town!

The grounds were a little bit rundown, to be fair we were there in the spring and not summer but there just seemed to be so much missed opportunity with how beautiful the surroundings could be.

Beautiful place, very impressive. Clean and spacious room. Decent breakfast. We had everything what we needed for our stay.

Staff said literally three words to us during our stay: passport, key, room. There was no communication at all and we didn't feel welcome. They didn't even give us our passports back before taking us to the room Maybe it was language barrier, I don't know, but we stayed in places where people didn't speak English and we still could communicate. After we areivied we didn't get any info about breakfast, nothing. The next morning we were roaming around until we saw someone who can tell us where the breakfast is (it's quite big place). Hospitality was a bit disappointing, but it's beautiful place and still worth to give to shot. Also during our stay, the main road was closed and we were struggling a bit with getting to the property. Heads up would be great.
