Giovanni Chiappini Winery Tours and Activities

Wonderful property, amazing hosts. 20 minutes outside of Florence center-easy to get a taxi. My family loved everything about our stay here!

Great property, location and views.The staff is running a bit thin but helpful...Some training re. customer service attention could be improved, management is clearly not on top for oversight or direct feedback from guests (some supposedly G.M. women passed through the lobby on her way to her week end as we were checking in without bothering to take the opportunity to greet us...never to be seen again for the next 2 days !).The parking and directions are not very practical, the restaurant is too pretentious and lifeless compared to many great options 5 mn away in town).The landscaping and maintenance of pool area could be better for such a gorgeous architecture. All in all, I would recommend ownership to invest a little bit more and hire a more attentive and hands on leadership figure for day to day management to make this property deliver a true 5 stars experience as per global standards and surrounding luxury competitors...(the Nun Assisi provided us with a real Luxury service !).

The staff and the look of the resort is top notch! The staff deserves 10 stars. We came for the springs and if you have not been to a pool fed from a sulfur spring, then you will be in shock like we were. We have been to many resorts with hot springs but not like this one. The pools and whole resort had a strong sulphur smell. It was even in our room which was far from the pool. There were flies everywhere, even while getting a massage, flies were buzzing and sometimes landing on me which cancelled out the relaxation of the massage. However, the resort is near the public and free falls/pools which enticed us to the area. For some reason, perhaps the flowing falls and cascading pools, there were not slime clumps floating around, no super strong sulphur smell there like at the resort. The pools should be cleaned of the floating debris more, overall, the top notch staff are amazing and the resort cannot help the way a natural sulphur spring smells or how it attracts flies.
