Greve in Chianti Family Hotel

"Great experience!!!"

"The property looked exactly as shown in the photos—very cute and cozy, with beautiful views from its hilltop location. It is remote and quiet, which was peaceful, though isolated, 3K up a narrow gravel road. We appreciated the welcome bottle of wine, and the wine tasting with neighbor Raffaella was a highlight of our stay.Unfortunately, several aspects detracted from our experience. The kitchen cookware was in poor condition—pans were greasy and not properly cleaned, making us wonder about thoroughness. Noise was also an issue; we could hear sounds from the upstairs unit, including flushing toilets, voices, and a young child rolling something around the floor every morning. There was ongoing construction in the parking area that made parking difficult and created significant noise, including jackhammering right outside the bathroom.Wi-Fi was unreliable, with multiple unresolved connection issues. Communication with the host was unpleasant; we received reminders twice to turn off the terrace light, which felt intrusive. On checkout morning, host was waiting outside our door at 9:15, making us uncomfortable and rushed.Adding to our disappointment was an unexpected 65 charge for heating that was NOT in the listing. After discussing it, the host agreed to 50, but this should have been disclosed beforehand.While the location and wine tasting were wonderful, the combination of cleanliness issues, unexpected fees, and intrusive communication made our stay far less enjoyable."

"This beautiful property stole our hearts back in 2019, when my now-wife first visited this magical place. Six years later, we returned — this time to celebrate our wedding reception after tying the knot a few months earlier. From start to finish, everything was beyond wonderful. A special mention to Sandra, the amazing coordinator who made everything run so smoothly, and her fantastic team — Delfina and the lovely lady (whose name, unfortunately, I’ve forgotten) who graciously welcomed and ushered our guests upon arrival. Every detail was handled with care and professionalism. The food and Chianti wines during our celebration were absolutely exceptional — truly a highlight that everyone still talks about! The breakfast and dinner staff were attentive, kind, and ensured everything was perfect throughout our stay. Our rooms were clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained, with housekeeping doing a fantastic job. We also had the privilege of meeting Mr. John Matta, the owner — such a gracious and inspiring man who leads an extraordinary team. All of our guests loved their stay, and we left with hearts full of joy and gratitude. We can’t wait to come back again — hopefully for our anniversary next time."

"Lovely large property very well suited for our family (2 seniors, 3 adults, 2 toddlers). Very accommodating for small children. Maria the host was outstanding -- very sweet, kind, thoughtful and responsive to any and all queries/requests."

"The kitchen was well equipped, had a big stove, 3 sinks, plenty of dishes, a separate coffee area with another huge sink. The castle gave each couple plenty of room for privacy and yet had space to gather, talk, play games....it is very spacious. It was hard to pick where to meet up because everywhere was so nice. As a family of 18 the big dining room worked perfectly for us. I loved setting the long table, cooking dinner and looking down the table with the family all so happy. The pool was wonderful although it was not real close it was fun. It was hard to leave the castle! "
