Querceto di Castellina

Living in a postcard Our stay was absolutely amazing from start to finish. It feels like waking up in a postcard everyday. We did the wine tasting lunch experience which was great. Same with the breakfast with amazing views over the vineyards. All hosts were very friendly recommending places to see and eat. All in all 10/10

Booked a cooking class with Laura and private wine tasting. This was the highlight of our trip to Tuscany. Laura is a gem and we enjoyed our day with her imensely. she met us in town for ingredient shopping and then back to her lovely home to cook. My husband and I left BIG FANS of this family winery! Food, wine, location, experience, all an A+

Tuscany R&R What a fun and unique experience! Highly recommend. The views are amazing! We stayed here and took day trips to Siena, Pienza, Montalcino, and even Cinque Terre. The grounds are beautiful. Sign up for a cooking class with Laura—you won’t be disappointed.

My spouse and I stayed for five days of our ten day trip to Tuscany and the trip was planned by a travel agent specializing in Italy. The property itself was knock out beautiful and had some of the amenities we were after--an onsite laundry, breakfast, and farm animals nearby for example. Since we visited during a "shoulder" month just before peak season, no dinner service was available but we made do by purchasing cheese, fruit, salame, and wine to share in our cottage each evening. The cottage included a bedroom, main room with small dining table, small fridge and a built-in daybed where a fireplace existed previously (a bit odd.) The third room was a HUGE bathroom with a great deal of wasted space, also a bit odd. I wish the cottage had included a couple of comfortable chairs in which to relax instead of the daybed which looked pretty dingy--not super inviting. We found the staff to be not what we expected--the two brothers who we believe are the owners were polite and professional but not terribly friendly or welcoming. Having researched agriturismos I expected a warmer version of hospitality. The kitchen team of ladies were very nice and accommodating and their cappucino was great! Housekeeping services were pretty limited but that may be an industry trend. On the whole it was a very nice experience but if you are looking for an agriturismo experience with interaction with other guests over breakfast or a glass of wine in the evening, this may not be the place for you are hoping for.

We first tasted these wines at a wine dinner at The Bindery, our favorite restaurant in Denver. We met Jacapo and Mary and decided to visit the winery. We are so glad we did. The setting is amazing and the wines are fantastic. Imagine staying in an apartment that is over 600 years old. Our hosts were welcoming and informative. While there you can enjoy a wine tasting or a cooking class. Don’t forget to visit the donkeys and the goats. You can easily visit Florence, Siena and other towns.

We recently spent 4 days at Querceto di Castellina as part of our honeymoon tour of Tuscany. We throughly enjoyed our visit. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and our suite (Livia) was perfect and had everything we needed. before arriving I hadn’t fully appreciated the location of the winery, the scenery was stunning and we loved going for a swim whilst looking over the Tuscan hills. We also really enjoyed trying all of the wines they had on offer. The only downside (and not the fault of the owners), but the location (being surrounded by fruit trees) meant that there were quite a few bugs/flies. We hope to return some day and we’ll definitely pack repellant and citronella candles to ward off any unwanted guests which are a given when staying in the countryside.
