Borgo Antico Casalbosco

“Wedding weekend”

Stayed here for a wedding event. The facilties were clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpfull. The setting was beautiful. The location made it easy to get to various other locations in Tuscany.

I stayed here with my husband for 3 nights while on our trip thru tuscany check in was very easy and quick- we stayed in the tower dependence with lots of stairs so if you cant do lots of stairs including your luggage I suggest to not book that room. The room however has a beautiful view overlooking the hills. its very spacious and clean. Cleaning supplies were left in our bathroom which I thought was a bit strange but otherwise everything was nice and soap and some shampoo is provided. There is a kitchenette available as well, no kettle unfortunately. I didnt actually realize when booking the place that they didnt have a restaurant as it looked like they did based on their pictures and seeing as they offer this location as a wedding location as well. So for dinner you either have to cook yourself or go out to places nearby. Breakfast is nice and eggs and bacon are made fresh to order which is very nice compared to luke warm scrambled eggs sitting on a buffet. The breakfast room is quaint, maybe some music would make it a bit more enjoyable. the pool area is beautiful and very clean. the pool actually being quite large and also lots of lounge chairs. We didnt see towels anywhere so we took ones from our room.. towels didnt really get replaced thruout our stay- this would have been nice to have. The staff is very friendly and full of suggestions of where to eat and go. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would probably stay here again if we traveled with a larger group and once their restaurant is open. The winery Casalbosco is excellent as well and we had a wine tasting there which was complimentary with our stay. Very interesting and lots of information and very good wine and vin santo. great value and great to take back home with you! Will definitely be ordering more when we get back. Thank you again

For all that the staff was lovely and very welcoming, this place just came up a but short. Our suite was on the ground floor—dark and the ac worked better in the living room than in our bedroom. Spotlessly clean but lacking in details. No shelving in the closet, there was o single armchair rather than a sofa…internet was so spotty we had to hang by the window to send email. The small kitchenette was super basic…though the fridge was adequate. The outdoor part of the property is beautiful but there is not a comfortable chair to sit on—other than at the pool, which was forbidden to us as we travel with a small dog. There was a dog fee (not significant) but no bowl or dog bed was provided. The breakfast was inadequate. The “cornetti” (croissants) were not fresh, we has one of the worst latte macchiato ever…not much fruit. In general, not what we expected from a place at this price point. We had to pay extra for daily cleaning—which we did. The location is frankly inconvenient. A car is required to go anywhere and there are not many restaurants nearby, though the one recommended by the staff (Ristorante Alessandro) was excellent. The reception is closed between 1pm and 2.30pm. We lost our key and had to wait for someone to return. Make sure you know the receptions hours so you do not have to wait. Overall, we would not choose this location again.
