Casavilla Rentals by Torre a Cona

Very comfortable rooms. Attentive staff. Lovely meals. Wine tasting experience was very enjoyable. Approx 40 mins from Florence - reception staff gave location of parking which was easy to find. Minor negative - Experience would be further improved by making entrance road significantly better

We stayed one night in the hotel and 8 in Giardino. The hotel is in all respects quite lovely with full amenities, beautifully appointed, comfortable with stunning views and classic Tuscan views. My wife and I had different opinions about the breakfast. She loved it. I am fastidious about the coffee. The self-serve coffee was little better than in an American diner and I have never found Italian breakfasts appealing - lots of cake and sweet pastries. The one dinner we had together at the hotel was good without being exceptional and therefore expensive for the price. The property had also started to accept large group visits and unfortunately there was one at the time we stayed. This not only caused a number problems during the planning and booking process for my own special event with 13 people but also ended up in several of our party who had hotel reservations being asked to have a makeshift breakfast one day in another location as the Osteria restaurant had been closed off for a group event. The villa experience was good as usual and in some respects better as the property has invested in a private swimming pool for Casa Villa and Fienile. A super addition for those booking apartments in Casa Villa or Fienile! There a couple of extra touches I would like to see management adding Most of all a pair of oven gloves ! We were cooking for 13 people a couple of nights and how those gloves would have helped! Cutting knives should also be a lot sharper. We had to call up to the hotel to see if we could get sharper ones for preparing fish ) insuccès as it turns out) There was also a personal touch missing on this visit that was there on all previous visits including a welcome letter and a bottle of wine and a small basket of goodies. We had booked this property for 13 people and ordered catering for a special birthday celebration and it was strange that one of our party received a welcome letter and a bottle of wine in appreciation of their continued loyalty but not us. Food for thought! Despite these hiccups, the support from the staff was second to none. Hats off again to Livia for working so hard on putting together the birthday event On the front desk Cate was amazing. She helped us out with every request we had whether transport needs, suggestions for walks and restaurant bookings. One final suggestion. My wife fell on the steep stairs up to the massage room in the tower next to the main swimming pool. This may have been avoided with better lighting at the bottom of the stairwell.

Very well-kept property with an exciting history. If it had a spa (which it doesn't need) it would pass as a 5 star hotel. Very good service, beautiful room and bathroom. The room does not have a TV and media system, which did not bother us. Very quiet place to relax. Great pool, great restaurant. Very well maintained and stylish castle. The restaurant and service were on a high level. Wonderful walks in the beautiful countryside. We booked a prestige wine tour which was very good. The wines are to be recommended. I could add many nice pictures. It really is as on the pictures or even better! Overall a great experience. Thank you!

What an incredible experience! This historic estate 🏰 truly captures the essence of elegance and charm. From the moment we arrived, the warm, welcoming staff made us feel right at home. The rich history of the property adds a special touch to everything, and the estate’s wine selection was simply outstanding. We loved sipping on their finest while taking in the breathtaking views of the vineyards and surrounding countryside. My wife and I can’t wait to return and relive the magic. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a perfect blend of luxury, history, and hospitality!

It is a fantastic place very relaxing and the staff is very polite. There are a lot of things to experience like horse riding, wine tasting, cooking class and more. The food at the Osteria restaurant of the resort is excellent. Very tasty and very good quantity.

Excellent location, great experience. The staff are very attentive especially Katrina on reception. We had an amazing time, tasted wonderful food and wine. We really enjoyed the cooking class. Thank you for a great experience. Kerry and Mark xx
