"Great afternoon by the pool.
Evening meal menu was odd. I think the chef was trying too hard to be different. The vegetarian chick pea dish was merely a bowl of cooked onions with some vegetable mush- my wife called it baby food. The chicken with truffles was tasty although came with flabby chicken skin. Breakfast was amazingly good in comparison.
We had a room with a view of a 6 foot tall hedge, beyond the hedge was a fantastic view of Tuscany we couldn’t see, really strange. Staff were very good, the pool pleasingly cold and refreshing. Good but not a great stay."
"Beautiful room- clean and mostly quiet, with some noise from room above. Delicious breakfast and gorgeous outdoor area with a view of the Siena hills. One of the most comfortable hotels thus far in our travels in Italy. "
"Our stay at La Certosa di Pontignano was a truly memorable experience. The historic charm of the property combined with the serene Tuscan landscape creates a magical and peaceful atmosphere that’s hard to match. The rooms were comfortable, the grounds beautifully maintained, and the staff welcoming and attentive.
While we did encounter a small issue during our stay, it was addressed promptly and resolved to our complete satisfaction, which we greatly appreciated. The overall experience far outweighed this minor hiccup.
The historical significance of the location adds a special depth to the visit—walking through centuries-old cloisters and gardens while enjoying the beauty of Tuscany is something we won’t forget. We would gladly return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and tranquil retreat."
"Exceptional views from this property.
The room was for 4. It had a rustic farm house vibe.
Unfortunately there was mold in the bathroom and a nest of spiders in the beams above the bed (which my husband was happy to sleep under - so we ignored).
There is no noise insulation between floors and you can hear other guests above you, but everyone was respectful and noise minimal.
The spare blankets in the cupboard needed a wash and were unusable. Otherwise room was clean and comfortable.
The infinity pool was great and generally quiet creating a relaxing atmosphere.
You need a car if you stay in one of the annexes otherwise you would have to walk up a hill.
We had access to a balcony and a common area. The kitchen was accessible but you are not allowed to use unless you book an apartment.)
Breakfast was very good and the terrace is amazing.
We only had interaction with two staff members. One was lovely, friendly and helpful. The other was the complete opposite, which ruined some of the shine.
Overall lovely place to stay, fantastic grounds and we will definitely try and visit again!"
