Relais Villa Tavolese - Chianti

If you have a car and plan on driving around to see sites, this is a nice home base. It's quiet and lovely and has the necessary amenities (for me, that includes a clean, nice room, good wifi and breakfast).

We had the room with the Val d'Elsa view and I can only say it exceeded our expectations. The morning view over vineyards and Tuscan hills is unforgettable. The room is big and comfortable. The little village up the hill is also very charming, with a great Pizzeria that offers delightful local food for more than fair prices. I would recommend to anybody […] to stay there for a few days in Tuscany and take day-trips to surrounding places (e.g. Siena in our case), you will spend some peaceful time in the Tuscan countryside for very affordable prices compared to the bigger towns and cities around.

Great view and nice driving location in Tuscany... worth a visit

Genuine Expedia guest review

It was fun finding the villa but head for the central village square and it is just off that. Staying in Marcialla was one of the highlights of our trip and this was due to mostly to the setting of this hotel and the helpfulness of Marta at reception. The room was large with a good bathroom and very effective aircon, breakfast was the usual continental […] type which you can eat outside overlooking the Chianti countryside. I would recommend getting some meats and cheeses from the local village shop and and bottle of Villa Marcialla ;-) Read more

This little villa-style hotel was perfect for us. It conveyed authentic Tuscan charm, situated overlooking rolling vineyards and the bluest sky. Only negative aspects were that the onsite restaurant was not open for dinner (however there are many places in town where one could get a wonderful and affordable meal) and the pool could have used a skimming […] to remove the dead and dying bees. Otherwise, the place was a little paradise tucked away in Certaldo, which really could be used as a setting for a film. We would absolutely return, having thoroughly enjoyed our stay, especially sitting on the terrace at dusk with a bottle of Chianti and some Italian bread and cheese. Sigh.... Read more

Absolutely superb location in the heart of Tuscan vineyard and olive grove country! If you have a car (with GPS!!), it is definitely worth searching out this hotel youll fing yourself in the peaceful golden and green heart of Tuscany, surrounded by a starfilled night sky and a pleasant cool evening breeze and awake to grand views of rolling hills capped […] by churches, argiculture, and San Gimigano! Ask for a corner suite, as ours had massive windows that opened to provide beautiful views of the surrounding vistas! Breakfast was typical and cold. The pool and refreshing, as was one of the blondes poolside, however both were in need of a bit of work :) Read more

We had a wonderful 6-day stay at the Villa. It was truly picturesque! Service and hotel amenities were excellent. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The complementary breakfast was more than adequate especially enjoyed on the patio. The pool was an added feature after a hot day of sightseeing. The best feature of this hotel, however, was the VIEW. […] It was breathtaking. Highly recommend this location and villa. Read more

This hotels is set in an idyllic Tuscan village (Marcialla) in Chianti country. Short drive from the likes of Florence, San Gimignano and Siena. It is a converted villa, beautiful pool with absolutely STUNNING views. Even hotel website pictures do not do this scenery justice, the high location accompanied with beautiful tuscan weather meant that on […] the clearest day we could see the spires of San Gimignano about 35K away from our room. Hotel exterior may not look up to much but inside is beatuifully maintained with classic furniture throughout and immaculate cleanliness. Pool is beautiful but lookout for mosquitos in afternoon/evening sun, bring some bug spray!!!! Breakfast was a good selection of croissants, cereals juices and so on, coffee machine was broken so instead we were supplied with beautiful coffees from the bar. Restaurant was closed during our stay in August but 2 restaurants in the village were great. The location of the hotel is superb provided you have a car, you can day trip to many local towns and vineyards and you'll love the tranquility of the hotel, not recommended if you are using public transport. Highly recommended hotel, lovely staff, surroundings and views, on a side note pre-plan a good route to get you to the hotel or book sat nav with a hire car. We had a pre printed AA routeplanner which took us to a completely different village and italy roadmaps are not detailed enough to recognise the required roads. Read more

This is a beautiful hotel set in a magnificent Tuscan location,. Ideal for peace & relaxation. The local village is a delight.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Wonderful village location with stunning views over the Tuscany countryside. Particularly suitable for somebody wanting a very relaxing time, but still close enough to some main cultural locations and medieval hilltop villages, only by car. The swimming pool is great and we had it to ourselves most days. Staff were very helpful and obliging. Breakfast […] italian style is available but, no evening restaurant, although two restaurants within easy walking distance, and more in neighbouring villages. We found it particularly difficult to locate from Pisa via Certaldo as Marcialla signage is poor. It's better to look for "Fiano" on reaching Certaldo. However, an altogether superb experience and would book again. Read more

Kein Service, schlechtes Frühstück, mangelnde Sauberkeit, Außenanlagen nicht gepflegt, durchhängende Matratzen, muffig, hat seine beste Zeit hinter sich, riesiger Investitionsstau, wo kamen die drei Sterne her? Nie wieder!!

In das Hotel wird offenkundig nichts mehr investiert. Zimmermöblierung spartanisch. Alle Pflanzenkübel draußen völlig vertrocknet. Terrassenmöbel verrostet. Frühstück sehr einfach, Frischwaren Discounter-Ware, Kaffee- und Milchpulver aus dem Automaten, tagsüber kein Hotelservice, Restaurant seit langem geschlossen. Alles in allem: Längst verblichene […] Villa. Read more

L'hôtel est idéalement situé pour visiter les villes de Florence, Sienne et la région du Chianti. Superbe vue sur la campagne toscane. Petit déjeuner correct. Il n'y a pas de restaurant comme le laisse supposer le descriptif. Belle piscine (à part les insectes morts qui flottent à la surface) et tout le nécessaire pour lézarder au soleil. Attention: […] l'hôtel n'est pas situé dans la ville de Certaldo mais dans la commune de Marcialla (15kms environ). Les chambres sont spacieuses mais mériteraient un petit rafraîchissement.

Superbe hotel, idéalement situé sur les hauteurs, ce qui procure une vue magnifique aussi bien des chambres que de la terrasse où l'on peu prendre son petit déjeuné. Le personnel est de qualité, et le buffet du petit déjeuné bien achalandé. Les chambres sont dans le style Toscan et très propre petite salle de bain mais la douche est spacieuse. Seul […] petit mauvais point, quelques travaux extérieurs mériteraient d'être réalisé, une margelle de piscine, l'entretien des volets bois, enfin des petites choses de-ci de-là mais qui ne sont pas dérangeante pour le séjour. Et dernière petite chose, l'hôtel est stratégiquement bien situé pour ceux qui comme nous souhaite visiter la Toscane car proche des principaux villages et ville qui sont à visiter. Read more

Een typisch Italiaanse Villa uit 1920. Mooi, statig, maar prettig en toegankelijk. Het heeft aan drie zijden een werkelijk adembenemend uitzicht over een typisch Toscaanse vallei. Het ontbijt is uitgebreid en lekker en kan gegeten worden op het terras met het adembenemende uitzicht. Het zwembad licht een niveau lager en is heel comfortabel met lekker […] ligstoelen en een prieel waaronder schaduw. Als de (relatief lage) bosjes zouden worden weggehaald, zou hetzelfde fraaie uitzicht vanuit het zwembad mogelijk zijn. De kamers zijn erg ruim en hebben een zitje, een bureau en een koelkastje. De badkamer is met bidet, douche, wc en wasbak ook erg compleet. Het hotel is netjes onderhouden aan de binnenkant. De buitenkant zou wel een verfje mogen, maar het heeft in deze staat ook zeker z/n charme. Het personeel is uiterst vriendelijk en spreekt prima Engels. Voor diegenen die de Italiaanse taal niet machtig zijn zeker erg handig. Read more

Frühstück nicht gut, 14 Tage immer die gleiche Salami und den gleichen billigen Schnittkäse. Aufgebackene Tiefkühlbrötchen und billigstes Obst. Für Italien blamabel. Die Anlage rund ums Hotel auch nur notdürftig hergerichtet.Es hat für mich den Anschein als ob dieses Objekt kurz vor der Aufgabe steht !!!

La struttura è curata e si può godere di una vista mozzafiato dal suo terrazzo su tutte le colline circostanti. La camera era molto ampia, pulita e ben fornita (avevamo pure la jacuzzi). Consiglio il navigatore per raggiungere la villa perchè si trova in un piccolo paesino su una collina. Peccato per il tempo che non ci ha permesso di provare la piscina..Assolutamente […] da ripetere questa esperienza! Read more

Wir wohnten acht sehr zufriedene Tage und Nächte im Hotel, das für italienische Hotelverhältnisse wirklich als außerordentlich bezeichnet werden muss. Vom Zimmerkomfort über ein wirklich ausreichend und auch teilweise abwechslungsreiches Frühstück muss dieses mit drei Sternen klassifiziertes Hotel gelobt werden. Auch das Swimmingpool lädt mit seinem […] sauberen Wasser zum Baden ein! Traumhaft auch die Aussicht! Wir werden dieses Hotel mit Sicherheit wieder aufsuchen, zumal es sehr günstig gelegen ist: man erreicht unschwer Florenz, Siena, Pisa und weitere wunderschöne und sehr interessante historische Stätten und Städte der Toskana.

Très beau cadre en pays toscan. Il est facile de se garer et l'hotel est relativement bien placé pour visiter Sienne, Florence, San Giminiano. Par contre le petit dej est un peu basique: le pain et les croissants sont congelés. Quant à l'accès internet il est gratuit à la réception mais payant dans les chambres .... quand ça marche. Le resto de l'hotel […] était fermé mais je recommande le resto pizzeria du village pour son accueil et son rapport qualité prix imbattable. Les volets mériteraient d’être rénovés mais au moins c'est authentique Read more

This is a quaint little hotel in a very quiet village. Nothing to see or do in the village, but the location of the hotel is perfect for excursions into the many vineyards in the area and all of Chianti is just a short distance by car. The hotel restaurant was closed during our visit, but there was a pleasant little restaurant nearby which served pizza […] and great wine! Our room was spacious and clean, though the airconditioning didn't quite do the job. Nice and clean hotel pool and excellent view from the terasse! Would reccomend this hotel for people traveling by car, as it was an excellent pit-stop for sightseeing in Toscana and Chianti in particular! Read more

Ottima posizione e bella struttura toscana. Prima colazione mancante di alcuni componenti essenziali e freschi (affettati, uova e poca frutta fresca). La stupenda posizione potrebbe essere più valorizzata con un miglior riparo dal sole sul terrazzo d'ingresso.
