Tremendous Tuscan trip!
Pietro and his staff were amazing! Best value of any of the hotels that we stayed in in Italy. The view, the 15 century Palazzo, the breakfast, the location, were all fantastic. quaint Hillside Village with a lot of history. Great restaurants and a central location to visit all the wine regions surrounding it.

This is a beautiful hotel with beautiful views and a great location. The owner and staff are wonderful and accommodating. We arrived in the heat of August and our first room would not cool down. The owner moved us to another room with a better air conditioner fairly quickly and was so kind. Breakfast was wonderful - one of the best we had in Italy! This hotel is close to some of the best restaurants as well.

The bedroom was small but had a lovely view from the bathroom window and balcony.
Breakfast was delicious and staff were friendly.
It was disappointing that the room was hot and stuffy even with air-conditioning on (temp 24.5 degrees). We opened the balcony doors which helped however let insects in. It was also disappointing for the price that parking was a few minutes walk from property.

Excellent rooms but air conditioning was very weak
Nice hotel with very kind and friendly owner. The rooms were very nice, spacious with good standard and excellent bed. The downside was that the air conditioning was far too weak to give a good indoor climate.
When we arrived it was 35 C outside and around 27-28 C in the room. We were offered to change to a room on the ground floor which was cooler, but it was still too warm. There was some kind of air conditioning, but too weak.
Breakfast was good.

Room downgraded (20 m2 -> 11 m2), no compensation!
The environment, building, views and breakfast are excellent. But a huge problem is that they advertise a room that does not even exist in reality! We booked a 20 m2 Superior room with balcony, hill view and king size bed. What we got was a cramped 11 m2 room with a queen bed, which they sell as ”for single use”. What they said is that none of the 20 m2 superior rooms have a balcony or a hill view (both of which are must-haves in a place like Colle di Val d’Elsa). No refund or other compensation offered, the only other alternative room they offered would have been the aforementioned another downgraded one without balcony & without hill view. They just try to avoid any responsibilities and just say ”it’s a mistake at hotels.com / Expedia, nothing we can do with it”. This is a clear violation of EU legislation. Buyers beware!
