La Monastica Resort & Spa

What an amazing place. Beautifully restored, stunning location, delicious food, manicured gardens and the most incredibly professional, kind and attentive staff you could wish for. Nothing is too much trouble and everybody goes out of their way to make this a very special place. Thank you for an amazing 5 days and very much looking forward to returning.

We are currently on our last day at La Monastica hotel in Buggiano. It’s the best hotel by far on our 3 week tour of Italy. From the moment we arrived we have been given absolutely superb service. The General manager greeted us whilst having a welcome drink which was very personal. The front desk team are always on point and at hand to deal with any requests, the bar staff (went over and above with amrequest to purchase us a certain Italian Gin) and the solid restaurant team are some of the best we’ve ever encountered. Have eaten in the restaurant every night and food and wine excellent. With Lucca and Florence 30-40 mins away it’s a great base to have in Tuscany. The hotel is a newly renovated monastery which in itself gives it a unique feel. It has amazing views for breakfast and dinner (different venues) and a great spa built into the rocks. Hubby and I had very relaxing treatments with very professional spa staff…..wish we coulda had another! In summary, if you want luxury coupled with top service and food then look no further. La Monastica is 10/10. We will be back! Thanks guys

Location is so unique. You go up a narrow steep driveway and once through the gates it’s a magical place. Staff are very attentive. We had a great experience.

La Monastica is something else. Starting with my favorite feature, the pools that are set right under the bell tower, which offers a peaceful spot to unwind. We had a room with a terrace overlooking the hills where we loved sipping an espresso in the morning while listening to the sound of birds. The breakfast area had stunning views of the surroundings and dinner was set inside of the church which offered such a special dinner experience. As vegetarians, we appreciated how well they catered to vegetarians, even going out of their way to make vegan pastries for us at breakfast. Highly recommend La Monastica, it’s the kind of place that gets the details right.

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Tuscany From the moment we arrived at this enchanting boutique hotel, to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary, we were swept away by its charm, elegance and warm hospitality. The staff greeted us like old friends, their attentiveness was unmatched throughout our stay, gracious and always a step ahead without being intrusive. The hotel’s ambience perfectly captured the essence of Tuscany, serene and deeply authentic. Our suite was a masterclass of understated luxury, soft Tuscan linens and a view that could not be surpassed. Simply put, this hotel doesn’t just offer a place to stay, it offers a memory we will treasure for our lifetime. We left dreaming of our return visit. 5 STARS is not enough.

Amazing customer service! The staff made us feel like we were at home and never let us worry about ANYTHING! We knew everyone by name and they greeted us by name everywhere. The spa was exceptional, and the restaurant deserves Michelin stars. Their local wine selection and as great as well and the restaurant staff were extremely knowledgeable. Will come back next time we are in Italy.
