Relais Vignale & Spa

This felt like a picturesque Tuscany vacation. Relaxing pool overlooking olive trees and vineyards, a poolside bar open late, stunning views near the hotel and from the rooms. We ate dinner here one night and really enjoyed it! Parking is easy and there was always space. It was lovely to stroll around the town for the sunset nearby. Comfy bedding and nice water pressure in the shower!

This was my third time at Vignale and it did not disappoint! One of my favorite hotels in the world. It is the perfect combination of charm and comfort with a touch of luxury. We spent an afternoon sipping drinks by the pool overlooking the hills after exploring Tuscany and it was so relaxing! Stunning views everywhere! Radda is a great hilltop town to base your trip.

This was our fourth visit to Relais Vignale in as many years, and it continues to be one of our favorite destinations as a family of three (father, mother, and daughter). The location is unbeatable—just a minute’s walk from the charming village of Radda in Chianti, with a stunning view over the Tuscan hills that never gets old. We love the authentic Italian charm of the accommodation, and the pool is always a hit, though it could use a bit of maintenance. The staff, however, is one of the main reasons we return year after year. 'Maitre de Maison' Serena always makes us feel welcome, and Marco at the bar is simply the best—his service and personality are second to none. While we still enjoyed our stay, we did notice a couple of changes this year. Unfortunately, the restaurant wasn’t quite up to its usual standard. The attempt to modernize classic Italian dishes didn’t really work for us. Additionally, we didn’t always feel entirely welcome by the restaurant manager. Although polite, there was a slight sense of formality that made the atmosphere feel less warm compared to the rest of the staff. With such a beautiful setting, the restaurant has so much potential —perhaps they should ask Marco for some advice. Breakfast, too, was less impressive than on previous visits. The selection was more limited, and we often found basic things like water glasses missing. The breakfast staff is lovely and hardworking, but it seems they are a bit understaffed. All in all, we still love Relais Vignale and will likely be back again, but we hope to see some improvements in the dining experience next time.

Radda pitched on the top of a perfect tuscan hill with spectacular views . Friendly town shame about the hotel. They are all about corporate selling. You can’t organise a nearby vineyard without paying 180 euros per person for the privilege it’s more costly that st emillion last year were you can drop in for free tasting every where. A local restaurant waiter took us to castilnno on the Sunday afternoon after his shift such a lovely man ,for the local wine tasting 20 euros per person and we met all the local producers wonderful. The town has 12 restaurants we tried 10 of them all excellent wines exceptional,no one eats in the hotel. Cookery lessons costs 170 euros absolutely nuts. Such a shame it depends on short stays .

Where to start? I can’t wait to go back.. this place is amazing, AMAZING!!!! So beautiful, to open your shutters and see the Tuscan countryside, church bells ringing, and the lushness of the hotel is sensory overload! First the town of Radda. It is a postcard. For such a small town, many great restaurants and wine bars. The restaurant at Vignale was such a treat. Beautiful patio vista. Food and service excellent! Next the spa, book it! You walk down to a cavern and are treated to a 90 minute private experience; whirlpool, sauna, and steam. Plush robes and quiet. Did I mention the rooms? We had a beautiful room, separate bedroom, living area, (small but relaxing), and a balcony. Again to open those shutters and see the countryside is breathtaking! The breakfast is so bountiful, on the terraced restaurant again. My thanks to Giovani, Michael, and Serena, for making our stay memorable!

This place is heavenly. The setting is gorgeous, and the people are so gracious. The restaurant host, Mauro, greets you warmly o. Day 1 and remembers every detail throughout your visit. The cooking class is wonderful and the rooms are comfy and welcoming. Definitely recommend!
