The lady owner was an architect. She put so much thoughts on the details of the decoration and furniture. We were being nicely greeted and welcomed at the reception (a small house). I liked the dining room which was well decorated and fully equipped with what were needed.
When we arrived in the afternoon, the lady offered us to bring back own bought food in the dining room.
The breakfast was good. She even serve her own home-bake cakes. I feel so homy.
I also like the swimming pool and I swam every day there to enjoy & and relaxe.
Nous étions a la recherché d’un hotel…la nuit tombait….apres hésitation vu l’extérieur qui ne paye pas de mine, nous sommes allés voir une chambre..et nous lavons pris sans hésitation. Chambre confortable et conforme aux exigences standard. Tres bonne literie Parking privé. Personnel tres sympathique, je recommande cet hotel.
Prepare to recharge and bliss out at Viesca Toscana- an expansive Tuscan estate. Set among hills and vineyards not far from Florence- the estate features a selection of elegant private villas dotted among its grounds- as well as luxurious hotel suites. Gather a group of friends and family- and take over a villa to enjoy downtime with your own swimming pool- or plump for a hotel suite if there is just a couple of you. Both villas and suites ooze luxury- with classic- tasteful styling and characterful touches- from frescoes to fireplaces. While away days around the pool- sipping local wines from the famed vineyards of Tuscany- or tuck into excellent regional cuisine in the rustic and cosy Il Borro Tuscan Bistro- which serves fresh- delicious dishes from breakfast to dinner. You can get hands on with Tuscan ingredients under the expert eyes of chefs during cooking classes- or learn your Chianti from your Brunello in a sommelier led wine tasting. Yoga enthusiasts and beginners alike can stretch and breathe through open air classes with the yogi of the estate- or find stillness during guided meditations. The peaceful- beautiful countryside of Tuscany surrounds you at Viesca Toscana. Grab a bike- horse or simply some shoes- and explore woodlands- vineyards and valleys. Or borrow a tennis racket for a game with a truly Tuscan backdrop. Viesca Toscana is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
This hotel was a massive disappointment. It over promised and under delivered. Our experience was underwhelming from the start. We drove up a driveway that lacked any no-entrance signage to get to the reception and we’re chastised by unfriendly and rude staff. During the check-in, we were given no information on the property and the breakfast time, but we’re told that the boutique hotel had no space outdoors for us to have dinner. When we asked about breakfast time at the restaurant, we were told it is from 8 to 11:30am. When we showed up the following day for breakfast at 11, we were told the buffet was closed and they had thrown away the croissants. Some basic elements of service were absent. No free water bottles in the room, no refilling of coffee capsules, a dysfunctional AC, slow replenishment of breakfast buffet, little attentiveness to your ordering coffee or tea, no extra towels at the pool, no one asking you at dinner whether you’d like to have dessert, and so on and so forth. But this was not the end of our ill-fated adventure. When we asked them on our last day after our breakfast was done at 10:30 about the check out time, we were told it was at 10:30! In all my years of traveling around the world, I have never seen a checkout time that coincides with the end of breakfast at a supposedly luxury holiday resort. All is all, this is not at all what you’d expect of a four start hotel with luxury pricing. If these shortcomings are not fixed through serious reforms and management change, this property is bound to bring the Ferragamo brand into disrepute.
Dimora antica sapientemente ristrutturata immersa in un grande parco molto curato nel cuore della Toscana. Alloggi confortevoli, puliti, comodi e ben accessoriati. Una vista mozzafiato sull'Arno. Personale molto cordiale ed una prima colazione favolosa. Facilmente raggiungibile dall'autostrada con, vicino, ristoranti dove poter gustare un'ottima fiorentina. Ci torneremo di sicuro.
We recently stayed here as part of a group tour. Nico and his staff were all so welcoming and the grounds were just amazing. I felt like I was living a dream. The food and the accommodations were excellent. We were able to have our dinners under the Tuscan sky and it included a live band. We were also treated to a cooking lesson by the hotel restaurant chef. I can only hope to go back there again someday.
