Reviews for Locanda Le Piazze

Review 1：Location is exactly what we were looking for: surrounded by vineyards, not too close to any city (you could see beautiful San Gimignano quite far away), with a view that's the perfect Tuscan cliché. Staff is very kind and welcoming. Everyone always smiling and glad to help. Room was perfect. Spacious, well decorated and absolutely comfortable.

Review 2：I have travel to many places and to exquisite places as well. My standards as traveller's are high. I am a business owner , work hard but treat myself very nice. Food , service, attention, were awesome. Cleanliness and details anove expectations. Has been the best personal retreat for me . Promise to come back and greatly recommend. The compisition of the place, sorroundings and views were relaxing and meditative. Location was marvelous . The best place to hide, enjoy and forget everything while treat yourself! Even the rental car at the hotel was excellent and effiecient. Also offer transportation from airport . For me that was the best!

Review 3：What an amazingly beautiful place to vacation! The staff was warm, accommodating and gave us excellent recommendations on things to do and see nearby. Thank you!

Review 4：We asked the front desk to make a dinner reservation for us in Poggibonsi, and were told the restaurant would be expecting us. When we arrived, no reservation. There had been no call from hotel. And no attempt by hotel to let us know by cell phone.

Review 5：Pleasant room, but a request made many months in advance for a corner room was ignored. Then we were told on arrival that they had sent an email to let us know. Not true.

Review 6：The Locanda is beautiful but I found the decor a little too Napa valley , ca. Too trendy for my taste.

Review 7：The location couldn't be better. Close to Sienna and San Gimignano. Beautiful countryside.

Review 8：Locanda Le Piazze was the perfect place to stay while in Tuscany. Tucked away on top of a hill in such a beautiful setting! The view, facilities and restaurant was fabulous!

Review 9：No comments here.

Review 10：Everything!!!I went there during my honeymoon and we were delighted with the place. The rooms are clean, the breakfast were amazing!!there is a beautiful pool with an amazing countryside view surrounded with a lot of wineries. The place is far away from the town, so let us to aprecciate the milky way during night. Our honeymoon were unforgettable there. We definitely will come back again.

Review 11：I might not have gone into the ditch if the road was a little better and was not so full of holes. For this high standard of an establishment I feel that there could of been more choices at breakfast- the juices were terrible. You really can't have fresh orange juice without charging extra? We stayed in several Really nice hotels in France and Italy That had outstanding breakfasts for The same rates you are charging.

Review 12：I really appreciated two guys from the staff helping us out of a ditch last week. Both of our two nights at dinner were Fabulous. Overall- think your facility is beautiful. Pool and grounds well maintained

Review 13：Absolutely stunning hotel on Tuscan hills with very high level of cleanliness. Front desk staff Miss Julia and Miss Alexandra are so wonderful. Always helpful to make reservations and recommendations. Service staff Mr Salvatore and Mr Bucci are very detailed and customer oriented. When we arrived first day under the pouring rain, Mr Salvatore and Miss Alexandra helped us with the bags. Restaurant on site is wonderful and it's always quite packed! Highly recommended to book in advance. Antinori winery is a must go for lunch or dinner and wine tour is a must do!

Review 14：The yellow hoses that could be hidden from view.

Review 15：The scenery is absolutely beautiful and the grounds are kept immaculately. Just a lovely setting for breakfast overlooking the Tuscany landscape.

Review 16：Great experience,excellent food however dinner is very formal would like a informal after dinner drink socializing option outside on deck

Review 17：Beautifull setting ,central in Chianti Great staff

Review 18：The setting of this hotel is so serene, surrounded by rolling hills and vineyards. Just perfect for relaxing. Rooms are tastefully decorated and very spacious and comfortable with nice views. I enjoyed dining at the restaurant outside that overlooks the entire landscape. Very elegant setting, Service was attentive. Food was phenomenal! The best meals I had in my entire Italian trip! Fresh ingredients, simple preparations and delicious. I would recommend the lobster Risotto and the spegetthi and zucchini dish. Highly recommend staying here. Everything was perfect.

Review 19：Fantastic all round...staff were excellent, bed was wonderfully comfortable, meals and breakfast was delicious (home made granola was 11 out of 10!). Views of the countryside were brilliant and it was so peaceful.

Review 20：The mini bar was lacking...

Review 21：Tavola was an exceptional restaurant, and Salvatore's wine knowledge and pairings with the tasting menu far exceeded anything I had experienced before.

Review 22：No complaints at all!

Review 23：How can I choose. It was all perfect. What a truly wonderful place. I can't wait to return. I am already planning. Beautiful, stylish, discrete, romantic, relaxing, original... Just divine...

Review 24：Meal service was confusing to figure out. Also agile we were initially drawn to decor, after awhile felt like we were in a Restoration Hardware catalogue.

Review 25：The pool are was wonderful. The location was good but a bit out of the way. We stayed in the tower room and it was unique though required some gymnastics for luggage. The bed was very comfortable.

Review 26：Hard to get to but that's also what makes it so beautiful (and not overly crowded but the opposite)

Review 27：Location and actual facility, including cleanliness and design.

Review 28：Food in restaurant over priced.

Review 29：We arrived late at night and we were given a warm welcome and were able to get a toasted sandwich. Room fairly small, small opening windows, beautiful shower and handy drying rack. Surroundings very pretty. Breakfast true Italian breakfast.

Review 30：Understandably driven by high demand in the area, pricing is overrated compared to quality of experience (but this is a general realization across Tuscany)

Review 31：Breakfast was nice and Restaurant was excellent. Polite staff willing to help out. Superb natural environment surrounding the hotel.

Review 32：We were in a room with a terrace and although the whole setting was very peaceful we got woken up by the guests staying above us in the morning especially when they went down the staircase. breakfast was very good but exactly the same every day, more variety would have been welcome. Our room was very small, it was definitely not value for money.

Review 33：The setting, location, pool area, views

Review 34：Hotel is trying to be all things to all people while it should be a boutique hotel for couples only. Pool area unsupervised, and we were disturbed several times by unaccompanied young children shouting and diving in the pool. Staff, while courteous, we're not overly friendly (except cleaning staff who were very nice). Restaurant pretentious and over-priced with no simple bar menu as alternative

Review 35：Location and views

Review 36：Breakfast was a little disappointing - not much variety or choice.

Review 37：The location and rooms were superb. Beautiful pool, fabulous dinner, wonderful staff.

Review 38：Beautiful and tranquil location Delicious food (and reasonably priced) The staff were helpful and friendly The bed was very comfortable with nice pillows and bedding

Review 39：The access road to the property needs attention. We were in a sports car and the road was mainly compacted hardcore which had potholes and ruts in. We could access the property but had to take it very slowly. However road is getting worse as it rains. Breakfast was only continental which was a little disappointing.

Review 40：Absolutely marvellous hotel in a stunning location. Staff couldn't do enough to help. Great location for seeing Tuscany.

Review 41：Restaurant was beautiful and delightful but see comments in "like" section. Villa is in a remote area and challenging to find via twisty, narrow rural roads -- though a wonderful destination worth finding

Review 42：A beautiful villa in Tuscany with a very nice pool; Breakfasts were wonderful; Room and property are top-flight; Restaurant was very good and Salvatore was very helpful; but restaurant was very "chef-driven" where presentation seemed most important (but were very accommodating to children and vegetarian requests); comment is just in comparison to other Tuscan villa and restaurant where ingredients jumped out and spoke to you in an unforgettable way

Review 43：For a place so remote, people who don't have a car are not catered for. None of the trips that the hotel organise leave from the hotel. We had to pay 45 euros one way to the nearest wine tasting tour. Luckily we got a lift there from someone we met. Food was amazing but expensive and the menu didn't change much. 5 euros for a coke at the pool bar. Wifi was hit and miss and we had to book our own tour with it.

Review 44：Half of the staff were very helpful and pleasant.

Review 45：This is a minor point, but I think this should be an adults only hotel - most of the clients were couples wanting rest and relaxation - and a few noisy families were kind of screwing up the atmosphere. The pool area is more than sufficient but not huge, and that means having more than a few kids in the same area becomes much too noisy.

Review 46：Excellent room, lovely and comfortable. Great staff. Food was excellent. Location and view are great, and it isn't a long drive from Florence. We believe this to be the best hotel currently in Tuscany for relationship between price and quality.

Review 47：There is nothing that I didn't like about the place. Dinner was excellent bit a little expensive .

Review 48：Liked the staff, loved the views, great location , excellent place to stay.

Review 49：Location was great for touring the Chianti region. The setting was beautiful and the accommodations were excellent. The staff was very friendly and attentive.

Review 50：There were a few families with young children. Often during our stay, some families left their young children unattended on the grounds and in the pool and because of this were put off from enjoying the amenities offered. We spoke with many traveling either on their honeymoon or as adults without young kids, who returned to their rooms or left the grounds because of this.

Review 51：The setting, decor, views and overall experience was wonderful.

Review 52：We happened to be there during a severe heat wave and the room A/C was barely able to cool the room enough for us to sleep comfortably.

Review 53：Just about everything! Great property, very friendly and attentive staff, and terrific food in their restaurant. We loved hanging out by the pool during the afternoon, surrounded by breath-taking Tuscan scenery.

Review 54：Location is difficult to find, it's better to use the GPS coordinates rather than the address

Review 55：Delicious breakfast with freshly baked pastries beautiful view of the vineyards Great location to explore surrounding cities like Florence, Siena, etc.

Review 56：The setting was incredible with a beautiful view of the surrounding countryside. The staff was excellent in their desire to accommodate our needs. We had the tasting menu at the restaurant, best meal of our trip! GO!

Review 57：I thought our room would be a bit larger than it was and we had requested a king bed. It was 2 twins. It was comfortable, but somehow I felt because we arrived late due to getting lost, we were given a room that wasn't as superior to others at your facility.

Review 58：The atmosphere. Pool and restaurant and staff

Review 59：I did not like that on a Monday they don't offer dinner, for a place like this when you have guests you need to satisfy them.

Review 60：The views are excellent and the staff are special too.

Review 61：The restaurant is very expensive compared to others of the same (or higher) quality in the area.

Review 62：Stunning property with sweeping views of the Tuscan hills. Pool with a view and a bar, well presented interior design - simple, rustic. comfortable. Simple breakfast and later checkout offered. Must visit!

Review 63：Couldn't recommended this highly enough, it was booked as a 30th Birthday suprise and we are already hoping to re-book we had such a wonderful time! Thank you!

Review 64：None !

Review 65：The Hotel did not disappoint at all.The room we had was excellent and fully modernised with incredible views.The staff were very helpful and very concerned that we enjoyed our stay there.They are very trusting in their residents honesty and have an honesty chitty for drinks purchased at the bar/swimming pool. The Hotel is ideally placed for touring the area and offers a quiet retreat for the evening.

Review 66：There was actually nothing we could fault with this place. We regretted only having a night and next time will stay longer

Review 67：Loved the location, the food, the pool and the rooms

Review 68：Nothing

Review 69：The hotel was incredible from start to finish. The staff were friendly and couldn't do enough for you. The facilities were excellent, and the room we were in was nicely decorated and very comfortable. I think the best thing was the setting in the middle of beautiful Tuscan countryside, and the building itself was a great mix of rustic charm and neat modern touches. My wife and I were there for 5 nights on our honeymoon and I wouldn't fault the place.

Review 70：We had barbeque dinner on sunday and it was really not good and not worth the value. A place of that standard should have something much better!

Review 71：AMAZING place, staff are very nice and accommodating, pool and surroundings are just paradise, very well kept, vineyards all around. The restaurant is probably one of the best I have ever tried in my life with staff that are very helpful

Review 72：Would have liked to be closer to some other quaint villages.

Review 73：Beautiful accomodations, excellent design of room and public spaces, as well as excellent food. Staff was fantastic!

Review 74：Their location is very far from town and our stay would have been more pleasant if they offered an in house shuttle service to local attractions & Restaurants . given we were not advised that Their restaurant wasn't open on Sunday's & Monday's

Review 75：The waiters were exceptional, in particular( Bucci is his Name)Went over and above

Review 76：We made the mistake of not getting a GPS with our car and it is hard to find even with directions. The night we stayed that had a Sunday night BBQ. it was very expensive per head and compared to what we had eaten throughout our stay in Italy, it wasn't anything special. There was no option to have anything else in the restaurant that night. We ended up spending a lot of money for a meal that sadly wasn't a wow.

Review 77：Locande is gorgeous accomodation set in beautiful surrounds. Our room was just lovely and the building itself is beautifully presented. A little bit of luxury in Tuscany!

Review 78：The only thing that would have made my stay better would be if they had a hot tub outside to enjoy the spectacular views and evening stars. And, a warmer pool. It was a little to cold for swimming.

Review 79：The location is just beautiful and very serene. The staff were outstanding. I would highly recommend this place!!!

Review 80：The hotel was absolutely perfect. The place itself is really beautiful, a very ancient house with modern apliances and very confortable rooms. The staff is great and also does the bed and the shower. It's a shame that we only stayed one night.

Review 81：The food was not as good as we thought it would be but the buffet breakfast was great. Make sure you get good directions.

Review 82：Great relaxing pool / loved our suite ... enjoyed the bar and all of the staff. The property is beautiful and we found it so relaxing! Stayed 4 nights

Review 83：The lack of time we had there. With only two days, one of which was a Sunday, we did not get to take advantage of the wineries close by. The upside was that we were truly able to relax on the last days of our vacation.

Review 84：Stunning landscape. The design of the buildings on the property were remodeled to blend in perfectly with surroundings. The food was excellent as was the service. Truly felt luxurious. The breakfast was the best we had.

Review 85：nothing

Review 86：peaceful and tranquil setting heated pool in october bikes available lovely breakfast our room was wonderful, quiet with comfortable beds. staff very helpful, english speaking

Review 87：Wonderful decor, garden, pool, food, location, and lovely service makes for a delightful vacation in Tuscany! Note - on a rental car GPS use point of interest 'Locanda le Piazze' rather than the address, which leaves you 4 km short of a left hand turn.

Review 88：There was nothing I did not like.

Review 89：The setting. It is absolutely beautiful.? The accommodating staff. Everyone went out of their way to be helpful. The accommodations. The room we had was comfortable, well equipped and conducive to relaxation and restoration. The breakfast!!!

Review 90：The room itself was a little dark as the only window was actually the door to the room which was made of glass.

Review 91：Loved the patio/terrace outside the room which had lovely views.

Review 92：Nothing.

Review 93：My husband and I stayed three nights for part of our honeymoon trip. Love the modernistic decor, cleanness and friendly staff. Julie, reception, is extremely friendly and helpful. Food is amazing. Tuna tartar and wine is fabulous. We would definitely come back

Review 94：The room was a little bit small for the price but it was ok

Review 95：Beautiful place Amazing landscape around Very good breakfast and dinner Confortable room with nice view Luxurous Bathroom V.good service very kind and professional

Review 96：Everything - this beautiful Tuscan residence is designed with nothing forgotten. The comfort, service & excellence in all areas is not to be missed. Relax & enjoy, we certainly did. Belissimo!!

Review 97：The hotel is of a good standard but we have experienced a lot better in this price range. The location is good if you want to be in the middle of nowhere with peace and quiet but you are quite a drive from the nearest town. Also the bar prices are very high and not much selection. The restaurant although good quality was overpriced and it is a long drive into the nearest town for other options.

Review 98：We had a nice stay at Laconda - But the whole place is overpriced for what you get.

Review 99：If you are looking for a place to stay with breathtaking views and a staff that goes above and beyond look no further! We loved our stay here...it was perfect, they set us up with an amazing wine tour which you have to do if you are staying in the region. You can borrow bikes and ride around the vineyard and the food here is top notch. We had to leave early to make our flight and the gentleman at the desk had made us a to go breakfast since we would not be able to dine there when breakfast was to be served at 8. I give them a 10 out of 10!

Review 100：Would have loved to learn more about the region and the vineyards surrounding the property but the staff didn't seem to know. Roads leading to the hotel from Siena were a bit hard to drive but we made it...!

Review 101：Great views of Tuscany hills, vineyards. Gorgeous pool with enough lux chairs for everyone staying there. Wine by the pool. We stayed there on a Sunday and it was Tuscan barbecue night. They accommodated my vegetarian boyfriend last minute without complaint. Great meal and wine. The comforter was so great I wanted to take it home with me!

Review 102：What a peaceful and beautiful place to stay. We spent 3 lovely nights and enjoyed it all. The place is beautifully decorated in a charming Tuscan style. The surroundings are absolutely gorgeous in the middle of the chianti vinyards.The staff is very friendly and professional . Claudia goes out of her way to make your stay so perfect. Thank you Claudia! Excellent food with flawless service. How romantic! we are looking forward to our next stay.

Review 103：Our room didnt have wifi internet connection.

Review 104：The grounds are beautiful as well as the interior of the reception area and breakfat room. The rooms are a little more basic but still pretty and comfortable. The staff is very friendly. Dinner is also very good.

Review 105：A bit difficult to find: when driving better use GPS details rather than address + last approx 700 meters road is sort of a country side one

Review 106：Very good design of rooms and common areas, truly gourmet restaurant, very friendly and helpful staff, amazing landscape, heated pool

Review 107：Facilities were, for this price, quite basic eg only a continentalbreakfast included. No fruit/tissues in the room, nor newspaper.Room 15 is a 44-step climb First two mornings no power or bathroom wateruntil someone flicked a switch Costly extras: morning tea and coffee inroom was eur 25

Review 108：Location was very peaceful. Outstanding dinner with wonderful foodand wine list. Honour bar was a nice touch though no ready servicearound the pool

Review 109：Room rather small and dark Noise from upstairs room No view from the room

Review 110：Stunning views Interesting menu Flexible honour bar Good breakfast Lovely pool and loungers

Review 111：Tiny room with 30 internal stairs over 3 levels Loud air-con Rough sheets and large flat pillows Expensive for the quality

Review 112：Beautiful views Lovely pool area Nice breakfast, although nothing special

Review 113：Everything was very well taken care of and the staff was very flexible to meet guests' requests. Definitely a place to come back to even with young children.

Review 114：GPS coordinates unreliable. Suggest use website written directions.

Review 115：Everything about this place was great once we found it. Salvatore was noted for his warmth and service.

Review 116：1. wifi signal in rooms is bad and most times completely absent. 2. air condition in room made too much noise and made it difficult for us to sleep. we had to sleep without ac. 3. there were families with children who were playing and making too much noise ruining the tranquil atmosphere that could have been. 4. the tv had to be setup to show english channels and the lady in charge asked me twice if i did anything to mess it up - kind of blamed me. that was weird and i didn't appreciate it at all. 5. we have asked for half an hour late check out (just half an hour !!) and we were denied due to the fact that the hotel had to keep the cleaners' schedule 6. overpriced

Review 117：1. beautiful location 2. food was very very good in the restaurant. 3. staff in the restaurant and Domenico in the front desk have been extremely helpful.

Review 118：The owners are wonderful but when they are not around there is rather a laissez faire attitude towards the guests. Staff need to attend the pool area more frequently to service guests needs. The bathroom in our room needed updating to the standard of the bedroom.

Review 119：Beautiful views and setting. Fabulous owners!

Review 120：comfort of the room can be just a bit better

Review 121：Incredible location and view the peace friendliness of the staff the food excellent place to be in love

Review 122：Location, comfort, food, service, everything was perfect within the hotel. Especially the presecco that was waiting in the room was absolutely amazing. Staff was extra nice and helpful. The wineyards around the hotel is so nice to watch from the restaurant and the patio of the room. Ideal for a quiet and peaceful escape...

Review 123：Piped music, it's not necessary and spoils the peace and tranquility of the beautiful situation. service at some meals was rather slow.

Review 124：Comfortable beds, friendly staff. Lovely swimming pool and not overcrowded. Beautiful place with great views over the Toscana countryside.

Review 125：The menu stayed the same, but we did find out that the chef would try and accommodate something particular if we wanted it, but we only found that out on the last night

Review 126：We stayed for our honeymoon and had the most relaxing time, the honor bar by the pool was great so we didn't have to go back up to the hotel for drinks. We also really enjoyed the BBQ on our last night!

Review 127：- very old equipped bathroom - navigation way

Review 128：wonderful place with a view of, perfect bar,restaurant, excelent food and service. Nice swimingpool for relax. wow panorama. Real tuscany holiday!!!

Review 129：The hotel is quite new and the staff needs a little more training and coaching so they operate with more confidence.

Review 130：Small boutique hotel in the heart of the Chianti region, on a hilltop with an amazing view. Comfortable rooms, wifi is working everywhere. Very nice restaurant with incredible view. Very good food for reasonable prices. Absolute worth coming back!

Review 131：Staff was very helpful on helping us find a dinner place and directions. All shifts were great!
