We thought they would be serving dinner every night but there was no chef! So no Dinner service. Good A/C. Breakfast buffet was great, bartender made sandwiches and salads at lunch time. Be prepared to drive windy dark roads at night to find restaurants, 10-20 minutes away. Also we were charged additional fees for early checkin and late checkout, I found this to be excessive. We found their local white wine is not very good (buttery, and perfumy)

Great place to relax and recharge!

The reception was extremely helpful with all our queries even before we got to the property and really helped make sure we had a comfortable stay. The apartment came with amazing views and the basic necessities. The pool was a very nice size and kept clean for us to enjoy. We also booked a horse riding lesson which was with a great instructor and I’d highly recommend a ride if you have the time. Thanks for the hospitality!

As an Italian, it pains me to write a bad review of a property in my beautiful country,but this place is really just a glorified hostel.
Issues we had:
-no water for an entire morning until early afternoon (we couldn’t take showers, clean dishes, prepare food, etc.)
-our stove didn't work (only fixed 2 days later)
-the outlet for our fridge did not work (later resolved by providing us w/an extension cord)
-the wifi was terrible, could barely connect and if we did it, it lasted no more than a few min
-no power for an entire day (we came back to no electricity and large puddles of water in our living room that were coming from the fridge. We lost all of the food we had in the fridge)
-farm house was simply outdated, we fully understand traditional Tuscan charm, but this was not it
-pool was not clean at all (after using the fishnet for more than an hour (not even an exaggeration) it was still filthy, we gave up and never even got to enjoy the pool)
-hotel restaurant is pricey (which is expected, you pay for convenience) but the food was utterly disappointing. There are local restaurants near by which are MUCH MUCH better
-they give you ONE roll of toilet paper, for 9 nights, then you need to supply your own…even airbnb’s give you toilet paper, but not this \"RESORT&SPA\"

Hotel said they could compensate us for issues we faced during our stay, only to follow up when we got back home and now they refuse. Expedia also tried to contact them for 4 months to no avail. Just terrible.

Enjoyable stay but some maintenance required

Enjoyed the place and had a few problems but the staff were very helpful and sorted all issues out. Some parts are dated and in need of upgrades, especially the driving range and clubs!

Lovely setting

Apartments were nice and clean. Beds were very hard. Wall were thin if you had someone staying in the apartment above you could hear everything. Overall a beautiful setting and friendly staff. Maintenance were quick to sort problems. Our apartment did not benefit from free WiFi as the signal didn't stretch that far so we had to sit outside to use it.

Great countryside retreat in the Tuscan hills

Lovely apartment with phenomenal views. Pool was lovely and clean. This a a great place to go if you are looking for a quiet holiday off the beaten track. There are a few nice villages and towns nearby, Montaione is about a 10 minute drive and is lovely. Pisa, Florence and Siena are around an hour (ish).

Great Location - attractive value for money

Great value for money. Very good restaurant, nice appartment, small bar with nice waiter but a greater vararity could be nice (fancy non-alcoholic drinks maybe). Small shop for last minute shopping. Nice horse riding opportunities.

Great place to wind down

If you like to relax, sunshine, nice swim in your own private villa pool, good wine and food and to take some nice city exkursions to nearby Florence and Pisa then this id the place to be! We got the best of o
Both quiet time in our villa and to use all the resorts perks incl a nice small spa. We travelled 3 families and had mezzacosta villa all to our selfs. For best italian dinner we ever had we went down the Hill to casa masi. The best wood fired oven pizza we ever had was just nearby in antoni in a small village just before montaione. Enjoy!

Great place to visit and stay for a few days

Our expectations were low because of the price; however, this place was excellent. The apartments included access to the horse stables, spa, church, and included complimentary wine and fire wood for the fireplace. The staff led us to the apartments and came inside and even made the roll-away bed for us. I would definitely stay here again.

Stunning scenery but rustic,basic accommodation

Location is very rural so sight seeing isnt easy in my opinion.The various Tonda farm buildings are spead out so a car is a must and i would insist on an air con flat in summer.I dont think there are many that have it.The flat in `La Casina building' was at least 30 mins walk from reception,cafe & little shop via a narrow country lane.It was dingy,sparse and not clean so we moved to a hotel after a week. The price was cheap though so i couldnt expect 4* more like 2* here.Pool & scenery great though. WIFI only around reception which is just a desk no tables or chairs there but you can sit in the open air cafe to use your laptop.Restaurant/cafe expensive & average food compared to others in the area.On site activites pony riding lessons from age 6 is a great professional run school specialising in Western riding not English,kids club nr the riding we didnt use,very basic golf,tennis exposed entirely to the sun so not easy in the heat,cooking demonstrations. SPA fantastic if only they upgraded the rooms to the same standard i would return.Nearest town Montaonie is pleasant but 10 minutes drive. Everywhere else is at least an hours drive. Mosquitoes & bugs were everywhere but more prolific here due to being deep in the countryside. All in all i wasnt really on a budget so didnt have to put up with the basicness but if you are then its a good bet.For self caterers there is only a hob so take a one pot cooking book. On a plus the staff spoke good English and were helpful.

Castellare di Tonda - Apartments

We had never booked a holiday in Italy before; the reception we received from the staff and people in was extremely positive. The apartments are spacious, clean and the restaurant makes a convenient place to get a snack, lunch or evening meal.
The countryside and towns around the location are truly wonderful - but be prepared to drive. Driving however is rewarded by stunning landscape, towns (like Lucca, Firenze, San Gimignano, etc.) and friendly accommodating people who are very service minded and helpful. We found no language barrier and only found people trying to help us - which was an extra bonus.

We would certainly recommend Castellare di Tonda to our friends and will certainly be back for a another holiday

Struttura incantevole immersa nelle vigne
Silenzio e relax assicurati
Veramente alta la qualità del cibo e la preparazione sempre eccellente
Ottimo bar
Consiglio di eliminare alcuni servizi a pagamento come il lavaggio biancheria e di ricaricarlo direttamente nel prezzo del soggiorno sinceramente è una nota stonata in un contesto che sarebbe altrimenti perfetto

Es war wunderbar. Danke.

Unser Aufenthalt war wunderbar und hat gefühlt 5 Sterne verdient. Im Detail, könnte die Küche irgendwann ein upgrade gebrauchen und das Poolzubehör wie Sonnenschirme auch.
Alles sauber alles bestens. tolle Lage, tolle Aussicht. Liebe Leute. Super Kinderbetreuung. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Super apprezzato lo spirito della struttura all'insegna del relax, ottimo anche il ristorante con prodotti tipici del territorio e la spa il cui accesso su prenotazione la rende un posto davvero tranquillo dove rilassarsi con una vista magnifica. Apprezzatissima anche la localizzazione del nostro casolare in mezzo a viti e ulivi.
Uniche pecche il bar che chiude troppo presto la sera, rendendo impossibile bere un cocktail dopo cena e le condizioni di manutenzione della piscina del casolare dove ho alloggiato, Casanuova, da rivedere.
Eccetto questi aspetti è una struttura fantastica e il personale è super cordiale e disponibile.
