The views and the people were spectacular
Reviewed By davecA5702LIMy wife & I stayed @ Castello delle Quattro Torra from Tuesday, 05/21/22, through Saturday, 05/24/22, in the Blue Room. Upon arrival, after ringing the bell, the massive castle doors were opened by a young lady, Gioia ("JOY-yuh") who turned out to be the daughter of the couple who own the castle Gioia proceeded to load our luggage onto a cage tied to an electric lift that hoisted our bags 60 or 70 feet up through the open inner courtyard to a window through which she swung the entire load to deposit it in the open living area of the main level. She then signed us in and gave us an extensive tour of the place while pointing out interesting and unique characteristics of the 800+ year old structure. She also pointed out a "private" area where her grandmother (Nonna) lives. We met Nonna later when, along with a woman who works at the castle, served us breakfast every morning. Gioia's poise and grace had us guessing that she was in her mid-20s at least, but it turns out that she was 16 years old - a gracious and poised young lady. I should add that the family owns not only the castle, where Gioia's father grew up, but a farm and vineyard where they live and have a farm-to-table restaurant, Ristorante Le Pietre Vive, where we had dinner that first night and where we were served by Gioele, Gioia's brother who was equally mature, poised and professional and, besides, had a superb knowledge of local vino which we sampled at length. All-in-all, our stay "with" the Guerrini family was very memorable and included views to die for of the Tuscan countryside and the Siena skyline from the windows of our suite. Don't miss this place!

Pleasant place with the views
Reviewed By leoasin1A very pleasant small hotel with a well maintained garden. Perfect location when traveling on the car. Large Coop Firenze supermarket (arguably one of the best supermarkets in Italy) is less than 1 km away. Comfortable clean rooms and attentive staff. Good view of the Siena from the top of the garden. It is not far from the center but one needs to walk through deserted and uninteresting areas - does not make sense. It is better to drive and park the car next to the center. We did not have any problems finding parking...

We particularly loved the swimming pool with its stunning views of Tuscan hills.

Al Porto di Lucca is a recently renovated large house with a garden, which can be dated to back to 1700. It is owned by a family from Lucca, whose origins date back to 1500. It is a bed and breakfast with 4 guest rooms, each with a private bathroom, located less than 300 meters from the walls and the historic center of Lucca, which then can be reached on foot or by bike via an underpass. The railway station is just 200 meters away, and by train there is easy access to Pisa with its international airport, and to the city of Florence. In addition to the gardens, the great hall and the veranda are at guests' disposal for breakfast.
Highly recommend it for location, breakfast and nice hosts
Reviewed By Sandra WGreat location for Lucca visit, close to city center - just cross a bridge near the station to teach the city walls. Awesome breakfast with fresh juice, fruit, bread and eggs. Every day a bit different for a nice surprise. Friendly hosts who can recommend daytrips. The rooms are quiet.

A perfect experience
Reviewed By MarkJayRobertsWe recently stayed at the Castello delle Serre as a part of a V Sattui Tuscany wine tour. Our previous experiences with organized trips were trips we had won through our businesses. On those trips the trip provider did everything they could and covered every detail to ensure that we had a wonderful time. This experience at the Castle was equal if not better than any of those trips. The attention to detail, the distinct uniqueness of each experience each and every day was unparalleled. From the accommodations where every detail from the authenticity of the rooms, to the cleanliness, to the quietness to the gourmet meals to the day trips and finally to the staff, everything far exceeded our expectations. And the staff was, in fact, the most gracious and caring group we had the privilege to be cared for from. The owners of the Castle, Salvatore and Antonio, are using their God given talents in exactly the right business. My wife and I will schedule another trip in the not too distant future because the value far exceeded the cost. I have recommended the trip to several of my friends. There is nothing that I believe can be improved. A perfect experience!

Beautiful medieval hotel
Reviewed By lexmillerA beautiful building, steeped in history. These rooms were once the apartment of a wealthy family - the history is documented in a brochure in the main salon, a public gathering room which was once the living room for the family. A photo book contains photos of the renovations of the building - fascinating how the current owner gutted the rooms while at the same time, maintaining the historical accuracy, restoring the painted murals, etc. The furniture is period and be sure to admire the stunning Venetian glass chandeliers throughout the common rooms. There are photos of the family in the common living room which are so nice to see. There are also books and games, very welcoming. The current family who owns the Residenza, is involved with Montalcino wine production. In our room, probably in them all, there is a bottle of Brunello de Montalcino in a lighted shadow box on the wall with a price tag on it in case you’d like to purchase it. There are bottles of wine for sale next to the guest fridge area in the dining room. On the top floor, there is a veranda for all of the guests to use, appealing fairy lights on the railings help to highlight the amazing view of Siena. Our room was the “Viridi Gallia” room. It has it’s own private balcony with a "you have to see it to believe it” view looking down on Siena and the countryside beyond. There is a table for two on the balcony, which we utilized often - we would buy a bottle of wine at the nearby market (great local wines are so inexpensive!!) and a pizza and dine al fresco, best view in Siena. LOL, tip - make sure you have a dinner reservation at least a day in advance in nearly all of the local restaurants or you too will be having pizza for dinner on the balcony, haha! Pleasant though it was, there are a few restaurants we wish we hadn’t missed. Silvia in reception is exceptional! She is warm and accessible while at the same time, is knowledgeable and professional. We stayed at the Residenza for 5 nights, but our paths only overlapped once, when we checked in, as we spent three days touring Tuscany on wine day tours with “Franco Fadda Dream Tuscany”. But though we didn’t see Silvia, she was in constant contact with us via WhatsApp - always checking in to make sure all was well, if she could to anything for us, recommendations and touring ideas, etc. She arranged a car transfer for us from Siena to the airport in Florence which worked out perfectly. She always has the comfort of the guests in mind as her first priority. The rooms as I said, are historic and stunning - but definitely updated with all modern conveniences. The bathrooms are beautifully luxurious! Love the sink! And the shower is stunning, just be careful of the slippery marble floor when wet! Be aware that there are several flights of stairs to access the Residenza - depending upon your knees, no problem to go up but could be an issue going down. However, don’t despair, there is a teensy weensy elevator which you will for sure need if you have luggage. The building was after all, built in the first half of the 14th century - still, it was renovated in the early 1500s, so you’d think there might be a larger elevator……LOL, I’m kidding! The Residenza is a Bed & Breakfast, with six beautiful rooms for let. Breakfast was included but you absolutely must have a breakfast order form. If by chance no one upon check in gave you a form or there was no form ever placed in your room by housekeeping, then you don’t get breakfast, it’s as simple as that. We did not get a form, we didn’t know you needed one - so this is a word to the wise - you do, so ask for one in advance, you’ve been alerted. Breakfast starts at 9am every day, on the day we wanted to eat in the Residenza, we went out to the main room and sat down, but the lady in charge said, “no breakfast for you” - abrupt and no smile, but we don’t share a language so that’s fine - because we had not filled out a form, because we didn’t know about it. The issue is that breakfast orders are filled strictly to what you check off on the form - there is no one in the kitchen cooking or baking - the food is not freshly cooked - options are hard boiled eggs, cold ham, packaged yogurt, plain croissant. If there was someone cooking fresh breakfast in the kitchen - eggs, omelettes, bacon, that sort of thing - then there would be extra food as it would be cooked to order, you know, picture your own kitchen. But the food is closely rationed, exacting, per form. Which is why since we had no form, there was no cappucino for us, no juice, not a prepackaged yogurt nor nary a slice of cold ham to spare. HOWEVER, and this is a great tip - you are given vouchers (and we were given vouchers on check-in, just no in-house breakfast form) to use at the Bar 4 Cantoni for breakfast because the breakfast in the hotel does not begin until 9am. Bar 4 Cantoni opens at 6:30am every morning. Upon check in, we were given vouchers for Bar 4 in case we would be touring and had to leave before 9am. Good thing, since the one morning that we did want to eat breakfast in the hotel but we couldn’t, since we were not given the form, we did have plenty of vouchers. And after seeing the hotel breakfast - we did see the trays on the day we wanted to eat in house pre-prepared for the guests that did have a form - I can absolutely report that you will very much enjoy eating at Bar 4 Cantoni where everything is fresh and there are many more options and all are quite lovely. Nice to have that option, particularly if as in our case, it was our only option! Loved their cappuccinos, pastries, fresh gorgeous sandwiches, freshly squeezed 'a la minute' orange juice, etc.

Reviewed By capt-krkThis is the best resort I’ve ever stayed at and that’s saying a lot!
