This Hotel is fantastic, definitely 5 stars. When your first arrive through the gated entry you are meet by the staff to welcome you , unload your luggage , park your car etc. You just go to the lounge to the very comfortably lounge to check in with a welcome cold drink. Then there is quick tour of the property. The property is just WOW , the property , the views !!. What a feeling when you book something after hours of web searching, review trawling etc and your partner says this ”I cant believe how beautiful this is , look at the views, the building , the landscaping , the pool etc etc. Take a look at the book at reception which has before and after photographs of the hotel redevelopment, you wont believe the transformation, what vision by the owners. We booked direct with the Hotel and selected the 5 senses experience. This turned out to be another great choice, firstly we were upgraded to a beautiful room with separate living area in the main building. This package included dinner in La Colonna (more on that later) we wanted to move this to the next day as we were a bit tired after driving which was done without any issues,; massage at the Well-being Centre at the Clubhouse and a tour of the Winery. All staff were very welcoming and approachable during our 4 day stay. We were fortunate to have great weather and sat around the pool / gardens, just beautiful. Our dinner at La Colonna was one of the best we have ever had. It was a beautiful night therefore dinner was served on the external terrace. Our table for two reserved giving us a uninterrupted view of Tuscan landscape under the full moon . The food and service was exceptional. We are foodies and this was up there with best of our fine dining experiences throughout the world. (I had seen reviews criticizing the food , not sure what they are about must be some other agenda). You must do the winery tour at Vallepiccolla , it is really good experience and well organised. We enjoyed our massages up at the Clubhouse. The shuttle service to Sienna , no longer exists . Not a problem for us as we had our own car., 30-45 mins. Just watch you SatNav give you the best route , we got the scenic route on the way back , down kms of dirt roads. The property is remote , so if you don't have your own car you will need to book private cars through the hotel to go offsite. We noticed that nearly all of the other guests were American, I think about 85% of the guests are international visitors. If you are looking for a special place to stay in Tuscany, we would highly recommend Hotel Le Fontanelle
