Independent Crete Senesi hotels

"This is a perfect villa in a perfect location. The interior is excellently equipped and is very comfortable and spacious, and the multiple external relaxing/dining areas are ideal for enjoying the incredible views in every direction, whilst the large pool is perfect for cooling off from the summer sun. The whole villa was spotlessly clean and tidy, and the gardens were beautifully maintained. Luigi provided very helpful information about the villa and surrounding area in advance of our arrival, and was regularly keeping in touch during our stay to ensure that everything was to our satisfaction. We enjoyed the most amazing two weeks in this fantastic villa, and we would not hesitate to return if we get the chance to do so again in future. Thank you, Luigi. "

"La Ripolina, a family owned agriturismo, was more than we hoped for. Laura and daughters bring such heart and dedication to insuring their guests enjoy their stay. The food, the award winning wine and especially the cooking class has left us with treasured memories."

"Fantastic property with stunning views - especially of the sunsets each evening. The kitchen has everything that is needed (and more). A really good sized pool, large beds and en-suites for every bedroom was such a bonus. The owner, Luigi, is so approachable, friendly and helpful suggesting places to visit and even organising a vet visit for our dog to have his medical check before our journey home. Montisi is a perfect Tuscan village beautiful but without the tourists and has a couple of bars, a couple of restaurants, a small shop for emergencies and someone who offers a watercolour painting session whatever your ability (would really recommend this with Elizabeth Cochrane)"

"The property is beautiful and in a wonderful setting. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils and was a pleasure to cook in. It has been a really hot summer and even with air conditioning, we found it difficult to sleep in the upstairs bedrooms. The downstairs rooms were fine and extra fans helped upstairs. There are plenty of large common areas for a group to gather both inside and out. Overall it was a sweet time for family to reconnect and explore Tuscany."

"Absolutely Amazing! Saturday night the bar in the village had a buffet and live music. The pool is amazing with stunning views. Near several historic towns and stunning drives. "

"Upon checkin was notified the hotel no longer operated a restaurant although their listing on Expedia said they had one and their own website lists a restaurant. No dining options for dinner and no breakfast available. No coffee or tea in room, not even a microwave. Listing also mentions a tasting room for wine-- none to be found. Place is very far from town so a car is a must-have. Place was deserted yet there was obviously a rambunctious family above my apartment, which had an overwhelming stench of RAID bug spray the entire time I stayed. Reception is inside an interior courtyard and does not open until 9am, I left the keys in the door as there was no drop box. Do not stay here. Property is allegedly in litigation limbo due to their wanting to renovate, but take my advice and stay literally ANYWHERE ELSE."
