What guests think
At Castello di Spaltenna Exclusive Resort & Spa, travelers consistently praise the hilltop Tuscan setting, charming rooms and grounds, excellent breakfasts, and generally warm service, while noting accessibility challenges (many stairs, no elevator) and occasional dining or spa shortcomings.
Guests value the beautiful pools and spa and praise the Michelin-starred Il Pievano, though non-Michelin options can be average with occasional cold dishes and limited reservation availability. The peaceful rural location is remote, with few nearby restaurants, and some note firm beds or rooms that feel a bit dark. Expect a tranquil, scenic retreat with characterful spaces and a slower pace.

Castello di Spaltenna may rank as the best overall lodging experience of my life. Perched on a hill in Chianti, you pass a towering line of Italian Cypress on final approach to the one-time monastery. The Front desk snaps to attention. A warm welcome to introduce us to the gorgeous, quiet property and then we climbed stone steps to room nine. From room nine, we enjoyed a birds eye view of the perfectly manicured lawns, sparking pool, grapevines and olive trees. A feeing of gratitude and tranquility overcame us. We took three dinners and a lunch in the trattoria on site. The Breakfast included in our stay was sprawling, diverse, and healthy choices dotted the offerings. “Capoucino the asked each morning”? Yes! Moto Grazie. The spa has decent offerings and our massages exceeded expectations. We walked down the hill to Gaiole for a simple lunch and beer. In under an hour you can be in Sienna and not much further is San Giminano. Our departure this morning was bittersweet. If you stay here, I hope you feel as we did

The jacuzzi at the spa was inoperable at the time of our visit. And I certainly needed cleaning. Also, the staff was unusually loud in spite of the fact that there is a specifically written rule stating to keep your voice amplitude down, a whisper. The staff across the entire property was kind and pleasant, however they seemed to lack the type of training a facility such as this would require. Over all the property itself, and its views are stunning. Very quiet and peaceful. But even though the staff were nice, the quality of the service was sub-par. Even though there was a Michelin restaurant on-site, one would expect the quality of the food at the other dining areas to have been at least above average. This was not the case. Breakfast had what tasted like powered eggs, waffles and pancakes were served cold, but the rest of the offerings were acceptable. Every plate we had for dinner was served late and cold. Given the price, it should have been a more complete experience, not one with as many pluses as minuses.

An utterly enchanting escape nestled within the Tuscan hills, Castello di Spaltenna perfectly blends centuries-old charm with modern elegance. The spa and both indoor and outdoor pools are wonderfully indulgent, complemented by serene views across vineyards and olive groves. The Michelin-starred restaurant, Il Pievano, delivers exceptional cuisine under romantic candlelight, while attentive and warm-hearted service adds to every moment. Each room feels genuinely Tuscan—stone walls, beamed ceilings, cozy fireplaces—all paired with contemporary comforts. Mornings on the breakfast terrace offer breathtaking panoramas that awaken the senses, and the immaculate grounds invite long, relaxing strolls. A magical, unforgettable retreat—we can’t wait to return.

The resort was beautiful. The only complaint I have is the lack of service by the pool…nobody comes by to ask if you need any water or anything. Also, for a 5* resort you would think water would be free…you have to pay for water.

This hotel is wonderful with beautiful views from the terrace! The only complaint is the number of stairs you have to take if staying on upper floors (no elevator) - my husband has a bad back so that’s a consideration. Also, wish they would accommodate all the guests in the gourmet restaurant as we couldn’t get a reservation during our 2-day stay! Book ahead of time!

Cleaning service and staff were outstanding, the best we’ve ever received. Would 100% come back and recommend.

The property is in a beautiful spot of Tuscany. Not much around it, u need to drive 15 min to find restaurants. However the view is scenic, rooms are clean. Staff needs to smile, specially the restaurant and bar. The food that the hotel is just ok, the staff not friendly, they counted 12 euros for one scoop of ice cream and when we double checked they said it was correct! For a 5 star hotel they need to work on the food (we didn’t try their Michelin restaurant), their breakfast bar, their bar and staff!

Of all the beautiful places we stayed on our Italy trip, this was, hands down our favorite. From the moment we pulled up, we were met by staff to take our luggage and drive us to the reception area for check in. We were greeted by a friendly staff members, given a tour of the property and information we might need for our stay. The property is breathtakingly stunning. Our room was absolutely beautiful and the perfect blend of luxury and rustic, Tuscan charm. The dinner we had at one of their restaurants was incredible and the staff attentive in the best way possible- while allowing us the time to savor the delicious meal, converse and just take in all the beautiful atmosphere. We booked time together at their Spa, which we enjoyed, and my husband had a relaxing sports massage. The breakfast in the morning had the greatest variety, attentive staff and quality choices that we have ever experienced. We can’t recommend Castelló di Spaltenna enough, truly a magical place, nestled in the heart of the Chianti region.

Un hotel muy bonito en el corazón del Chianti. La recepción bien. No tiene elevadores. Hay que subir escaleras. Se entiende de una construcción centenaria, pero hay que saberlo.

Service
Staff are frequently described as warm, attentive, and welcoming. However, multiple reviews cite inconsistent service—especially around the pool and in restaurants or bars—with slow delivery and less friendly interactions at times.

Castello di Spaltenna may rank as the best overall lodging experience of my life. Perched on a hill in Chianti, you pass a towering line of Italian Cypress on final approach to the one-time monastery. The Front desk snaps to attention. A warm welcome to introduce us to the gorgeous, quiet property and then we climbed stone steps to room nine. From room nine, we enjoyed a birds eye view of the perfectly manicured lawns, sparking pool, grapevines and olive trees. A feeing of gratitude and tranquility overcame us. We took three dinners and a lunch in the trattoria on site. The Breakfast included in our stay was sprawling, diverse, and healthy choices dotted the offerings. “Capoucino the asked each morning”? Yes! Moto Grazie. The spa has decent offerings and our massages exceeded expectations. We walked down the hill to Gaiole for a simple lunch and beer. In under an hour you can be in Sienna and not much further is San Giminano. Our departure this morning was bittersweet. If you stay here, I hope you feel as we did

The jacuzzi at the spa was inoperable at the time of our visit. And I certainly needed cleaning. Also, the staff was unusually loud in spite of the fact that there is a specifically written rule stating to keep your voice amplitude down, a whisper. The staff across the entire property was kind and pleasant, however they seemed to lack the type of training a facility such as this would require. Over all the property itself, and its views are stunning. Very quiet and peaceful. But even though the staff were nice, the quality of the service was sub-par. Even though there was a Michelin restaurant on-site, one would expect the quality of the food at the other dining areas to have been at least above average. This was not the case. Breakfast had what tasted like powered eggs, waffles and pancakes were served cold, but the rest of the offerings were acceptable. Every plate we had for dinner was served late and cold. Given the price, it should have been a more complete experience, not one with as many pluses as minuses.

The resort was beautiful. The only complaint I have is the lack of service by the pool…nobody comes by to ask if you need any water or anything. Also, for a 5* resort you would think water would be free…you have to pay for water.

Veníamos de estar en otro small luxury hotel of the world en la toscana, y la diferencia en el servicio fue abismal. Los empleados hacen lo mínimo aceptable y lo que se les pide, no hay recomendaciones, una actitud alegre o proactividad en lo absoluto. Cómo bien se advierte en otras opiniones , el servicio en la piscina (que es el hightlight del hotel) es prácticamente nulo. La sensación general es que el hotel descansa en la vista privilegiada que tiene, el maravilloso entorno y la experiencia del castillo en la Toscana , y no ve cómo relevante el servicio. No es un mal hotel, pero si consideramos que es un 5 estrellas , el precio y la categoría de SLH of the world…se queda bastante corto.

Of all the beautiful places we stayed on our Italy trip, this was, hands down our favorite. From the moment we pulled up, we were met by staff to take our luggage and drive us to the reception area for check in. We were greeted by a friendly staff members, given a tour of the property and information we might need for our stay. The property is breathtakingly stunning. Our room was absolutely beautiful and the perfect blend of luxury and rustic, Tuscan charm. The dinner we had at one of their restaurants was incredible and the staff attentive in the best way possible- while allowing us the time to savor the delicious meal, converse and just take in all the beautiful atmosphere. We booked time together at their Spa, which we enjoyed, and my husband had a relaxing sports massage. The breakfast in the morning had the greatest variety, attentive staff and quality choices that we have ever experienced. We can’t recommend Castelló di Spaltenna enough, truly a magical place, nestled in the heart of the Chianti region.

The property is in a beautiful spot of Tuscany. Not much around it, u need to drive 15 min to find restaurants. However the view is scenic, rooms are clean. Staff needs to smile, specially the restaurant and bar. The food that the hotel is just ok, the staff not friendly, they counted 12 euros for one scoop of ice cream and when we double checked they said it was correct! For a 5 star hotel they need to work on the food (we didn’t try their Michelin restaurant), their breakfast bar, their bar and staff!

We stayed here as a family of six, including our two 3-year-olds, and it was by far our favorite place during our time in Italy! The kids absolutely loved swimming in the pools and running around the beautiful property. It felt peaceful, safe, and perfect. The breakfast was lovely each morning—fresh, delicious, and a relaxing way to start the day. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of, which made the experience even more special. We only wish we had stayed longer! We would absolutely come back and highly recommend it to anyone traveling with little ones (or without!).

Location
Set in the scenic Chianti countryside with sweeping vineyard views, it is close to Gaiole and within an hour of Siena. It feels remote with limited nearby dining, so driving is recommended.

This is truly my favorite place in the world—peaceful, beautiful, and filled with the kindest staff. I’m so glad we found it. I didn’t want to leave and joked with my family that I might just run away and stay forever. The location and scenery are absolutely stunning. We enjoyed fantastic meals during our stay—even though the Michelin-starred restaurant wasn’t open, the other dining options were exceptional.

The jacuzzi at the spa was inoperable at the time of our visit. And I certainly needed cleaning. Also, the staff was unusually loud in spite of the fact that there is a specifically written rule stating to keep your voice amplitude down, a whisper. The staff across the entire property was kind and pleasant, however they seemed to lack the type of training a facility such as this would require. Over all the property itself, and its views are stunning. Very quiet and peaceful. But even though the staff were nice, the quality of the service was sub-par. Even though there was a Michelin restaurant on-site, one would expect the quality of the food at the other dining areas to have been at least above average. This was not the case. Breakfast had what tasted like powered eggs, waffles and pancakes were served cold, but the rest of the offerings were acceptable. Every plate we had for dinner was served late and cold. Given the price, it should have been a more complete experience, not one with as many pluses as minuses.

An utterly enchanting escape nestled within the Tuscan hills, Castello di Spaltenna perfectly blends centuries-old charm with modern elegance. The spa and both indoor and outdoor pools are wonderfully indulgent, complemented by serene views across vineyards and olive groves. The Michelin-starred restaurant, Il Pievano, delivers exceptional cuisine under romantic candlelight, while attentive and warm-hearted service adds to every moment. Each room feels genuinely Tuscan—stone walls, beamed ceilings, cozy fireplaces—all paired with contemporary comforts. Mornings on the breakfast terrace offer breathtaking panoramas that awaken the senses, and the immaculate grounds invite long, relaxing strolls. A magical, unforgettable retreat—we can’t wait to return.

Just an amazing overall experience, super welcoming and hospitable staff. Vacationing in an estate that is 1100 years old makes it even more memorable. Thank you Spaltena
