Matkat – Gigliola

Very cute boutique hotel. Staff was helpful and breakfast good. The only negative is the dimension of the pool area and number of sunbeds relative to guest capacity, it felt a bit overcrowded. Great place to explore the coast

Hotel Tolomei was truly worth all its 5 stars! Our room was stunning and spotless, the breakfast was abundant, and the restaurant served excellent food. The entire staff was absolutely wonderful. Our wedding anniversary was made extra special with champagne and a cake prepared just for us. We stayed for six days, surrounded by breathtaking scenery with vineyards and olive trees all around. We even saw deer and pheasants nearby. The resort is located on a hill about 4 km from the town center — good walking shoes are recommended if you plan to go by foot. Our experience was a perfect 5/5, and we will definitely return!

We (me, my husband and our 15 year old son) had a wonderful stay at Villa Olmi in July. The place itself is really beautiful with little details. The gardens and pool area are very well maintained and clean. We had junior suite with own garden. The room was spacious and even the sofa bed for our son was very comfortable. Breakfast was versatile and delicious, especially the coffee was good; strong and hot. In the area, where Villa Olmi is located, there is really nothing. Luckily only short car ride to Florence central and hotel had shuttle bus service, which was convenient. Everyone at the hotel staff were really friendly and professional. One small thing only made me feel uncomfortable; at the check out there was added optional service charge to our bill. The receptionist clearly pointed that it was optional. This practice however seemed a bit strange. Anyway, we had absolutely great stay and would definitely come back to this beautiful hotel!

We spent a wonderful week at Borgo Scopeto and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. It has everything you'd hope for from a luxury Tuscan retreat: beautiful historic buildings, immaculately kept grounds, and a peaceful atmosphere full of character. The staff were warm, attentive and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling intrusive, and the food was consistently excellent. One of the biggest advantages is its location. Siena is only a short drive away - you can even see the city's campanile while having breakfast - so it was easy to combine days by the pool with exploring one of Tuscany's most beautiful cities (and, inevitably, a bit of shopping to keep our teenage daughter happy). A fantastic place to stay, and one we'd happily recommend.
