Il Piccolo Castello

Four stars for hotel. Two stars for restaurant. Nice location. The room was pleasant and fairly large. The food at dinner was average. The service was haphazard and not friendly. The staff was much more focused on talking to each other than serving the customers.

It was an amazing stay! The hotel was beautiful and the breakfast was delicious. The only thing is that we went in November so we couldn’t use the pool. But besides that, it was such a nice experience

My wife and I stayed here as part of a tour of Florence and Tuscany for four nights. It is, literally, in the middle of nowhere with lots of free parking. Situated all on the ground floor in numbered blocks, i.e, our side you walked through the (numbered) 300’s, 200’s into the 100’s along a corridor with threadbare carpet in the floor (the covering had worn through to the backing on a lot of them). The first impression of my wife was ‘a nursing home’, very old furniture everywhere, verging on antique , in the corridors and in the rooms. No sign of any mini bar (advertised), no kettle or other facilities for making a drink, but we were told that water would be exchanged daily, except in our case, no one did after the first night. The drinking ‘glass’ provided was a very thin plastic one, we thought they were disposable, but found we had to use them over and over again (after first night stupidly threw ours out and had to ask for replacements). We had possibly the worst room in the whole complex, 110, freezing cold, couldn’t get air conditioning on to heat the place, north facing (no sun, 2 metres from trees, no natural light, outward facing and the lighting not good) and were shocked to be told that those with inward facing rooms (south facing) were too hot, but they faced the outdoor pool and had a table and chair outside to sit in the sun, not that we would have sat outside but there wasn’t room for them outside our outer door. The bed was big, no noise, slept well. On the first night a ‘reception’ before evening meal, of Prosecco (unlimited) and bits to eat - wonderful. The evening meal, ordered the night before, was really absolutely excellent, fine dining at its finest with excellent, very rich, food. Breakfast a bit restricted with just two cereals, (lots of other things) and someone should really explain the whoever cooks the bacon how to cook it, it appeared to be mostly uncooked raw warm bacon. Streaky bacon is meant to be cooked. On a coach tour you are a little restricted on what one can do, a walk away from the hotel not recommended due to the fast road outside, We did use the pool, a little chilly outdoors and purchased pool towels at €5.00 for hire. The room and corridors appeared very clean (although, as stated no natural light in our room).

This is a great hotel in the countryside of Tuscany and not far from the village of Monteriggioni. We visited as part of a Riviera Travel holiday. The rooms are in a horseshoe around the swimming pool. They are a good size; the beds are wide and comfortable. With our room, the Wi-Fi signal could not be picked up but this seemed to be the exception. The food was very good and sizeable portions. As long as a visitor has transport, this is a great place to stay

Great hotel just a couple of miles from the nearby walled village Hotel spotlessly clean and quiet. Great authentic feel and lovely staff Pool great . Food great . Room great We were walking via francigena and the hotel picked us up and dropped us back to walking route Definitely stay here

Typical Tuscan building. Not far from the A1 to Siena. Furnishing still in good shape. Pool is central surrounded by the little castle. Breakfast is complete and good.Dining is possible till 22u. No lunch. But there are snacks at the poolside. Do it’s possible to spend the day at the pool.

rooms are perfect for a family of 4. it's very quiet and the swimming pool is large and nice. Very well located and easy to reach. Breakfast was perfect as well.

My wife and I went to this hotel whilst on a holiday with Riviera Travel. We stayed at the hotel for four nights from 23rd May on a half board basis. The hotel located in Monteriggioni was in a wonderful quiet location and was a first class hotel. We had a double room (402), which was amazing. The whole room had been hand painted and I have to say it took our breath away. The staff were very good. The food both at breakfast and dinner was superb. The choices at breakfast was very good and covered everybody's needs. The dinner was selected the day before and there was ample good quality food at each meal. There was an outside swimming pool which was very welcoming. The staff were very helpful and they really made you feel at home. I would certainly recommend this hotel if you are thinking of touring in Tuscany.

Dated hotel. Incredibly noisy. Asked reception if I could move because of a large group drinking right outside my window late in the night (do not opt for ‘luxury poolside’) but they couldn’t accommodate this because the hotel was full. It was so noisy it was like the group were sitting in my room. Pool was nice and staff were pleasant but this was not a nice place to stay and definitely now worth the money. Look elsewhere
