The staff was amazing. The views were beautiful. It was the perfect distance from San Gimignano. The room was very clean, comfortable and spacious. It was unpretentious, relaxing luxury.
We had a wonderful time at Il Castagnolo and wish we had stayed longer.
The property is beautiful, very comfortable and the location is awesome.
Tasty and home made breakfast, very kind staff and clean facilities.
Would definitely go back. Thank you
This place is stunning! Laura looked after us superbly and nothing was too much trouble. The property make their own white wine and olive oil which were delicious. Breakfast offered a good continental selection and the coffee was incredible! Pool was a welcome touch and offered plentiful space to relax and unwind. Our room was a little small and was the basic room. Our friend had a larger room so make sure to check that. It’s only around 12-15 rooms. Main tip is you must have a car! We banked on a taxi from San Gimignano and battled over 4 hours to get one! Ruined the vibe at the start of our break. It’s very remote. Would still highly recommend. We will be back.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Beautiful area not great house to stay at.
The farm house is in a beautiful location. The grounds have a nice pool with comfortable chairs and tables.
The room was large however the bathroom is awful and very small, shower in need of repair, toliet so near shower could not sit straight!
The breakfast area is nice although the breakfast is very weak, coffee good but not any real choices and they had the same cake out the 4 days we were there for?
The owners do not speak any English, we live in Spain so we are ok with the idea that they don't speak our language however it would be nice for just a few words and advice of surrounding area if they are going to run a B&B.
There was no access to water after 7PM and they do not leave you any in room, very unusual. Without saying no bar area to enjoy the courtyard or views.
I would encourage people to stay in this area as its truly remarkable but we saw so many other choices that looked nicer with more amenities.
The accommodation was amazing with views of rhe Tuscan hills and only a short drive to San Gimignano. Our room was stunning and Staff were very friendly.
Nice hotel in country near San Gimigano - Car only
Very nice country residence, rooms were nice, clean, but a bit cold and no extra blankets. Beautiful views of the Tuscan countryside. Breakfast was great, WiFi was only in the breakfast area but was fast.

Beautiful views
What a lovely location, would thoroughly recommend. It's only a 5min drive to San Gimignano and we found that we could sometimes park for free on the road leading in from the B&B. The breakfast is lovely and you can sit out in the pretty garden and take in the views.
On a été très bien accueillis, grâce à Iole, Lucia et Monica! Le patron a aussi été d’une extrême gentillesse, et s’est donné la peine de changer notre première chambre qui ne nous convenait pas. On reviendrait volontiers !
Trevligt boende med mycket vänlig personal, frukosten var nog den bästa under vår vistelse i Italien, med bra service och mycket att välja på. Kan varmt rekommendera detta till andra!
HERMOSISIMO!!! Que lugar más bello, para aquellos que disfrutan del campo y de vistas de viñedos, olivos, este es el lugar perfecto! mi esposa y yo lo disfrutamos cada momento, nos atendieron muy bien, muy amables. El desayuno... perfecto! mermeladas caseras que son fantásticas, todo muy rico.
