We enjoyed a junior suite facing the sea and had a beuatiful sunset. The hotel is adjacent to a very nice terrazza that wraps. along the water front. This was off season so not as much people traffic compared to the warmer minths. A rooftop bar and resteraunt was icing on the cake.Staff was bery nice.

Canadians at Bigozzi
My wife and I had a lovely stay at Castel Bigozzi. Afternoons by the pool we’re a real dream and the staff was so nice and helpful. This place is very well located for day driving trips around Tuscany. My only comment was that our bed was quite firm taking a few nights to get used to.

I booked this hotel based on other reviews. Hotel Bigozzi is a beautiful place to stay with excellent service from personal to the breakfast in the morning. The only small negative is probably the wifi and tv service. But really you don't need that when you stay here.

Little Slice of Heaven
It was a little slice of heaven. We debated about staying in Florence, but are so so glad we decided to rent a car and travel out to Tuscany. It was exactly everything we hoped for. Friendly service, small and quiet, and the views are incredible. We woke up every morning with the birds chirping and the sun shining. Highlight of our trip.

Wedding venue possibility
This is a country hotel with Italian character. The rooms have beamed ceilings antique furnishings, but modern ensuite bathrooms the pool was needing cleaned but the sjacious grounds are impressive with a view to die for . There was an excellent breakfast buffet , but dinner is not usually served at night. There is an ancient hilltop town nearby with good restaurants. All in all a nice place to chill out, with helpful English speaking staff .

I would not stay here again
I booked this hotel because they had great reviews. Overall the hotel was ok, but not a "nice" hotel. They are doing a upgrade soon they said hopefully that will help. I booked this hotel because they said they had wi-fi. They do as long as you are next to the router. I booked a suite so we could relax and do so stuff on the computer... well you can only use the wi-fi if you are close to the router. So, my boyfriend had to go to their lobby area to do so... When I let them know of the situation they didn't really seem to care but said they would let the owner know.

A lovely stay in the Tuscan countryside
We stayed here for 10 days with our newborn. The hotel staff were lovely and couldn't do enough to accommodate us. We had a big suite upstairs (Room 10) but we found it difficult to get up and down every day with the pram and other bits so asked if we could move downstairs. They accommodated our wishes and the room was much better (5) complete with private terrace. The pool is lovely, but not heated. The views are also great.

Charming fairytale Hotel.
Something special about this place! May not be the most luxurious rooms, but they are charming and well appointed. Our 2 rooms had beautiful views and our little atone terrace covered in ivy was so lovely! The pool area had amazing views and such a comfortable area to relax and enjoy the setting. The location was very convenient in terms of reaching all the popular Tuscan sites, especially my favorite Siena! We hope to come back to Castel Bigozzi again soon!

Wish We Had Stayed Longer
This is a beautiful hotel, in a spectacular location at the top of a hill. The rooms were amazing, the pool was great, and the breakfast was delicious and was served in a separate building on the grounds with amazing views. Has free parking, elevator. Staff was very helpful and courteous. We wish we had stayed longer to enjoy the atmosphere, we only had booked for one night. We walked down the hill to the town for dinner. Would definitely recommend this Hotel to all.

We believed we had booked a hotel that had barbeque grill which we took as occasional evening meal option, there was in fact a barbecue but no use seemed apparent. We included the breakfast but were unhappy that flies were crawling over the majority of it, seemed bizzare that packed breads and pastries were in covered jars while fresh pineapple, fruit, cakes and croissants were uncovered on plates, also no tongs were provided to pick up food. There were beds round the pool but apart from that very little seating was available on the extensive grounds. Should be made clear no evening meals.

Relaxed, chill time in the Tuscan hills
We were 4 young adults looking for a realxing break with enough access to local food, wine and attractions yet far enough away to feel like we were on our own little escapism from reality. Hotel are great and look after you. The pool is gorgeous and the hotel location is ideal for 'away from it all relaxation yet close enough to dip into the culture' should this be what you desire.

Family vacation, summer 2015
Great location in the heart of Tuscany, within 20-30 min drive from Siena and San Gimignano and 50 min drive from Florence. Quiet picturesque place surrounded by olive trees on top of a hill. The views are breathtaking. Spent 5 nights there with family and loved it. You will need a car to get to the place and move around the area. Not too many restaurants within a walking distance (only a small limited grocery store). The place is more like a B&B than a hotel. Breakfast was okay and will fix you a lunch snack (cold cuts/salads) if you ask. Staff was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Rooms were large (by Italian standards), comfortable and functional but not fancy. Beds and pillows were rather hard and not as comfortable as other hotels. Overall nice place and very enjoyable experience. Would definitely go back again if in the area.

Great hotel!
I LOVED this hotel!! Its 1000 years old yet you get the modern day conveniences (nice bathrooms, comfortable beds) with a rustic feel. The grounds are perfectly groomed, breakfast is good and they make a perfect cup if cappucino. You could not ask for a more friendly, pleasant and helpful staff. This hotel is in the country but is conveniently located to all the surrounding towns.

Double booked & shoddy service
We arrived on Saturday evening to be told that there had been a double booking and they blamed Expedia. The receptionist told us that she'd tried to call my mobile but had been unable to get through (however I'd had no missed calls or Voicemail messages). Given that we booked in late July and arrived in mid-September, it is inconceivable that this couldn't have been spotted weeks before and resolved. As it was, she'd waited until we arrived to try to find an alternative for the first couple of nights which turned out to be a self-catering apartment at the end of a roller-coaster track into the wilderness; not the four star hotel we'd booked. After two days we were accommodated back in the hotel and were promised that they'd make it up to us (however we saw no evidence of that). Our room was in the roof and although the receptionist did promise to get our bags placed in the room she admitted that she'd forgotten. Although there was a lift to the first floor, the access to our room was up a further narrow staircase. She was unable to lift the cases herself and there were no other staff that could help it would seem so I had to lug them up myself.

Tuscany Dream
This place was beyond beautiful. The grounds are filled with roses and other flowers that make strolling around the hotel a very fragrant experience. We were able to enjoy their wonderful pool with a view. Our room was wonderful and had an amazing view of the sunset over the rolling hills of Tuscany. The only down side is that the breakfast was an additional 10 euros (we didn't know) just keep that in mind!

Bigozzi is a beautiful hotel off the beaten track. It may be in the small town of Strove but it's very central to seeing plenty of other places without staying in the hustle and bustle of big places. Pisa, Florence and Siena are all within travelling distance and are definitely worth seeing.

Just what you would expect of Tuscany country side
We chose the hotel because of the view and to really feel in Tuscany, and that is exactly what we got. It is a very broad space, with a main building and some other minor ones as the swimming pool, breakfast room and little skylight spots to sit and relax. There is a very nice garden surrounding the whole estate and the outstanding view of Tuscany typical landscapes. Breakfast was excelent and the lady in charge of it was Brazilian, just like us, and gave always a nice welcome and tips on the region. The room was really good, with a living room and a sink with a little fridge, all separated from the main bedroom. And the view from it was just awesome. The staff was always willing to help, lending silverware, glasses, fixing our sink very fast when we had a problem and fixing a taxi for our friends.

Who wouldn't love to stay at an Italian castle?
Castel Bigozzi is located on top of a hill, very quiet location, very friendly staff and a great breakfast buffet. If you are lucky to stay there around mid October, you might be able to experience the morning fog which covered the valley below, but several other hills with houses on top stuck out of the fog. This is a beautiful park-like property with dozens of olive trees - the perfect place to take walks! The hotel offers sauna and spa (massage). Our room was lovely to look at with blue wooden inside shutters at the bedroom window, balcony door and bathroom window. The shower had wooden planks, no tiles on which you could slide. I enjoyed that. The only thing negative was the bed. It was a twin bed and my mattress did lean onto the frame. Fortunately my husband was able to push the mattress frame back under the frame and the second night was very comfortable. Hopefully we can return one day. This is the most romantic hotel among the 6 romantic hotels that we stayed on our 10 day trip to Northern Italy. Unforgettable!

Loved the view from our room
The hotel is located in a beautiful, quiet location overlooking the Tuscan hills. The suite was very nice and even had a loft with a magnificent view of the area. The grounds were beautiful and there was plenty to see in the area. You do need a car to get around since the locate is quit remote and Siena / Florence are about an hours drive through beautiful countryside however. Only problem we had was a bit of a fuss over the breakfast being included with the price. They verified and corrected their mistake. Would go back again however.
