Villa Petriolo

By far my favorite place I stayed at in Italy. The staff were so helpful and the rooms and property were absolutely gorgeous.

We travel all over the world and I can honestly say that I have never had a more incredible time at any hotel. It wasn’t just a hotel, it was a 6 star experience! Daniele Nannetti making us feel like family to all of the staff, we were treated like royalty! The property was exquisite, it was a fully sustainable property with its own animals, vineyard, vegetable gardens, etc., to the magnificent vistas… inside and out! Our room was fit for royalty and we felt pampered the entire time we were there!!!!

We recently attended a wedding at Villa Petriolo, and fortunately we were able to book a room there. Everything was incredible, from the friendly staff to the rejuvenating spa. I wish we had booked a couple of extra days! I would absolutely recommend Villa Petriolo to anyone looking to visit Tuscany.

The unpleasant experience started at the very beginning when we entered the room on day one and found the welcome card in the room was addressed to a stranger… (this should not happen in a luxury hotel…) The following day, the housekeeper ignored my ‘do not disturb’ notice on the door and entered the room to clean directly. More surprisingly, the housekeeper took away my personal towel as those from the hotel…. The waiter at the restaurant didn't bring the spoon when soups were served. She didn't even notice until we spoke to her. When checking out, the staff at the reception said nothing to us at all (even no goodbye to us…) and didn’t ask our feedback about the stay.

My wife and I just completed a 4 night stay here and it was absolutely wonderful. There are so many things that make this a unique and exquisite experience and I will try to highlight just a few of them. First of all, the commitment to sustainability is unlike anything I've seen elsewhere. Almost everything is made in property using their own resources and creates practically zero waste. On top of that, it's all so good, from the food to the bath and body products placed in the room. The staff is so warm and welcoming. We did both the truffle hunt and the pizza and pasta making class. Chef Marco is wonderful and getting to enjoy our creations was a highlight of the stay. And the grounds, the location in Tuscany is spectacular. Every direction from the property is an incredible scenic view. The infinity pool overlooking the vineyards is a great place to unwind. We also enjoyed getting to meet the cat that lives on property, Romeo. We stayed in the Master Suite Soppalco. We loved the spacious two level floor-plan, it was very unique for a hotel room. The only drawbacks were a limited view out a small Juliet balcony and some minor noise as the room is just above the restaurant, but we'd absolutely stay in it again! If I may offer some advice, a rental car made our life much easier as the location is certainly off the beaten path. You can enter the property from two directions. The entry to the west is much more well paved and easier while the one to the east is entirely a dirt road. We look forward to returning!

This hotel is picture perfect of everything I wanted for Tuscany. Over looking the hills and quiet serene countryside. The hotel was beautiful. The staff were very accommodating and nice. They built a new spa that is very nice. The massage was decent not great. the amenities were very relaxing. Although they said the pool was heated. It was not. They built new rooms near the spa that look stunning. At the time of the year I went there was only two restaurants open. The Tuscan one was pretty good. Certain dishes were fantastic certain dishes were not. The Michelin star restaurant was not my taste but I enjoyed the experience but I did not enjoy the food or the price. I did a pizza and pasta cooking class and it was average. I think they can do a lot more with it considering the price point. I would not do it again nor recommend it. The downfall to this lovely hotel is transportation. I recommend renting a car if you’re staying here because you’re limited to the hotel driver which the price is very expensive. Or a taxi. They do call the taxi for you however the taxi fair starts when they are called and wherever they are called from. Overall I would recommend it and it’s very relaxing. I would also recommend coming during the warmer months to enjoy the pool amenities.

This Tuscan villa is perfect for a short stay and very suitable for families with young children. Amazing property in the midst of farms and vineyards. Beautiful sunset and sunrise views. If you are seeking a Tuscan villa experience and are not budget conscious, highly recommend Villa Petriolo. Italian cooking classes, yoga, cycling etc. are offered. Great stay for anyone wanting to relax and enjoy Tuscany's beauty and charm.
