Top Hotels Near Castle of Oliveto in Castelfiorentino from AU$167

"Great kitchen. Great eating area. Great sitting area. Really nice views through the upstairs windows. Very friendly host with a friendly dog and cat. Olive trees all over. Clean swimming pool. Really convenient parking. 8 minutes to beautiful town of Castelfiorentino with train station and huge grocery store. We used it as a base for wine tastings and cooking classes and a day trip to Florence.. We spent 5 nights there and it wasn't enough."

"This is a working winery and while the apartments are somewhat rustic and without air conditioning they provided much of the charm and experience that we were looking for during our stay in Tuscany. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the wines produced by the winery. Natalia and Roberta were especially friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the buffet dinner that was available on our first night that included delicious food and wines. We also took advantage of the daily breakfast since the location is somewhat remote. Alternatively, one could easily prepare their own breakfast in the apartment kitchen but we opted for the convenience. Although remote the property is conveniently located in the countryside about midway between Florence and Siena which were the two cities we planned to visit during our stay. There is a pool on the property and we did also enjoy a stroll into the vineyards one evening to watch the sunset. The reason for the lower rating with facilities is primarily around some plumbing inconvenience which was not confined to just our unit but was being appropriately addressed by the property and we did not experience any issues on our last couple of days. Overall, our experience was excellent and I would stay there again if I return to Tuscany."

"The property was great particularly the outdoor areas and pool with plenty of big tables, pool lounges etc. We booked the whole property and so had all of the separate parts. Each room or set of rooms had their own kitchen and sitting area. This meant there wasn’t a big kitchen/sitting room for all 10 of us. It wasn’t a problem because the weather was perfect and we were outside all the time. There was a regional power cut while we were there and Agnese and her family were wonderful in help us get through that. They were responsive and extremely helpful. "

"Pure Heaven! Villa Belsole far exceeded our expectations! Beginning and ending with our extremely gracious hosts, Enzo and Christina, who were so responsive and so helpful, the Villa easily and homily hosted our group of sixteen guests. The Villa is a sight to behold, perched on top of a hill with endless, and sensational, views of the Tuscan countryside. Stunning doesn’t begin to describe the setting. The lovely grounds and inviting pool punctuated the exterior of the Villa. Inside, the huge living area welcomed in the countryside with three floor to ceiling walls of glass and patio doors. Breathtaking! The extended dinner table easily seated our large group and served as the social center for eating, drinking, talking, and even making and rolling out pizza dough for the wood/fired pizza oven. The kitchen was spacious and had all the pots, pans, utensils and tools needed by us aspiring chefs. The bedrooms were spacious and well/appointed. The additional large living areas supported several poker games and endless billiards tournaments. In a word, our large group never felt crowded as the villa was so spacious and well laid out. Enzo and Christins arranged both an in-villa cooking class (which was awesome!) and a wine tasting (with lunch) at a local winery, and otherwise were excellent hosts!Overall, the experience rated s 10 and I would stay there again, even with a smaller group. The value was off the charts! Grazie, Enzo and Cristina! Ci cediamo presto!"

"It was so much more than expected, I had an amazing experience"

"Our stay at the Santa Lucia villa can only be described as wonderful. First off the villa is in a perfect location- right in the middle of the Pisa, Siena, Florence triangle if you will. Day trips are easy to do to almost any Tuscan area from the villa. The villa itself was great- all the beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are clean, showers have great water pressure. The view from the back porch is incredible as expected. Highly recommend the wine tasting they offer it was one of the cooler experiences I had in my time traveling for 3 months in Europe. My friends and I love the villa and will certainly be reccomending it to friends!!!"

"Excellent all around. Thank you!"
