Sestola Sestola Fortress Hotels

"We were unaware of all of the Ferrari city that this hotel was in the middle of and ended up booking it purely so that we could go to the museum quickly. However, we were blown away by how excellent everything in the hotel was from the check-in to the amabalcony to the breakfast, to the room service. The hotel became as much of an experience as the museum."

"Perfect base to explore Maranello. Loved the Ferrari themed rooms, the friendly staff, parking availability, proximity to Ferrari factory, museum and track. "

"We had a small wedding here in the first week of October, and everything about this villa exceeded our expectations! To start, the property and surrounding area is unbelievably beautiful. Barga and Castelnuovo are hidden gems that had great restaurants and sights to visit. The property itself is nestled on the side of the mountain, and has stunning views of the valley. Our favorite was the morning fog that rolls in! The villa itself was perfectly updated, while retaining its Tuscan charm. We were able to comfortably fit family and friends in the individual apartments that allowed for hanging out but privacy also. However the best part of our stay at the villa was interacting with the owner, our wedding coordinator Marie (through Tuscan retreats), and the staff. They immediately treated us like family and were extremely generous! They cooked our wedding reception dinner as well as the pizza night. The food was up there with some of the best meals we’ve ever had, and the service felt like fine dining! They were so understanding and gracious with all of the chaos that comes with a wedding, and for that we’ll be forever grateful.We highly recommend this property to anyone thinking about getting off the beaten path in Tuscany, we certainly can’t wait for our next visit!"

"An unforgettable stay at Gelso Bianco! We had a wonderful four-night stay and enjoyed every moment. The atmosphere was relaxing, the service was exceptional, and the food — absolutely superb! We shared unforgettable meals with family and friends at their restaurant, which truly deserves its five-star rating. Everything from the presentation to the flavors was world-class. Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort, elegance, and authentic hospitality. 🌿💫 Thanks a lot! "

"The place was great - we particularly enjoyed the views and the pool!"

"Great taste of Italy and experience. Enjoyed our time at the house. The village was very friendly. "

"The home was charming, clean and host was wonderful! The views were amazing! The drive to get there was intense. If you’re uncomfortable with narrow, winding roads, this property is not recommended. We would have loved this property as an authentic Tuscan experience. If you want to immerse yourself in the everyday country culture this is the place! Unfortunately, due to multiple airline delays we were 3 days behind in travel plans so decided it made more sense for us to avoid the 1.5 hour drive return from a Florence day trip so left a day early. This was no fault of host or property, just unfortunate logistics. "

"Grand hotel Cappuggi did not disappoint. I stayed with my 3 children for 10 nights end of june , start of july. Very reasonably priced 4* hotel experience haf by all. A little out of town (2 miles) but free shuttle bus (or taxi if not available) shows excellent customer care. Receptionists very helpful, cleaners nice and cheerful. Fabulous swimming pool essential in 38° temperatures. Football and tennis available. Ball provided keeping my boys well entertained. Thiroughly recommend this hotel as a point from where to explore Tuscany and further afield. "

"Very nice facility. Kind and helpful staff. Beautiful setting. Quiet area."
