"Wonderful property in every way! We accidentally left our passports in the room safe and the housekeeper immediately notified the front desk. The lady at the front desk, whose name was, Laura M., contacted us immediately. We were already in Venice, so she arranged a driver to drive our passports to us. She went over the top to ensure we had a wonderful vacation. The kindness was just amazing and the property was 10/10."
"We had a wonderful stay at Relais Vignale! Our room was wonderful and we had a beautiful terrace. The breakfast was lovely and included and the pool was relaxing. We also used the spa for a morning which we loved before the winery tour we booked through the resort. It made the trip so easy and relaxing and it was nice to cross the street to Dante’s for food and wine and walk around the beautiful little town of Radda. Highly recommend!!"
"I absolutely loved staying here and would stay here again! Very clean and vibrant facility. The glamping tent was such a fun place to stay. Some of the best sleep I've ever had while traveling. The staff was friendly, and the convenience of having a market and restaurant on-site was wonderful. Excellent food and service!
The bus line runs right out front so it's super easy to get into the touristy section of Florence. The Ridemovi bike share bikes were nearby as well, which made transportation so easy.
This place far exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended!"
"Very charming property. Staff were helpful and the room was clean. Be mindful that it is a bit far from the 'main' area of Florence so this is good to factor in when you have to make your initial check in from the airport or train station. The hotel has a shuttle multiple times a day to get you closer to the museums, shopping, etc. during your stay. Overall, would definitely recommend staying here!"
"Overall the hotel is nice. It's clean and modern. Rooms are comfortable but the shower is tiny, lol. Staff are helpful and friendly, but I primarily picked this hotel due to two things. It had a pool and it offered gluten free food in the restaurant.
The pool areas was nice, if small, but tricky to get sun all day as it's surrounded on all sides by the two stories of the hotel. It didn't seem to be used that much while we stayed so we were free to move the loungers around but this may not always be the case.
Gluten free was where I was disappointed the most. We arrived late on the first day and the restaurant was still open, but my GF partner's only option was a bit of beef and some roast potatoes. We gave it another go a couple of days later to see if having a relaxing day just at the hotel was an option, but again the selection was very limited, so we stayed later in town than we would usually have done.
Probably the biggest downfall is the hotel's location. It states it's only a few kilometers outside the centre of Florence but it takes 45 minutes each way due to the one way system and the current roadworks. The shuttle bus is free but it doesn't take you into the city centre but this was more of an issue for me as I have mobility issues.
Buses are hit an miss. They say they come every 20 minutes but this is wishful thinking. We waited an hour at the stop and then three number 23 buses pulled up one behind the other. Not the hotel's fault but just a heads up."
"If you are thinking of staying anywhere else in toscana…DON’T! This was the most amazing stay. We extended our stay because it was so beautiful and full of history. The amenities are also wonderful!"
"We all loved this place. It is conveniently close to Florence or Sienna so you can take a day trips if you get bored but there are plenty of activities on site. We wished we have reserved more days to stay but we will do that next year."
