Our second stay at CDV. Such a special place in Tuscany. The hotel has made many improvements since our last stay, and has nothing but 5 star amenities, the friendliest staff, and the incredible castle hotel with views of the Tuscan countryside. This is world class luxury. The spa is in a league of its own, the restaurant and chefs are making top quality cuisine. I can not wait to come back!

My review starts with hesitation,but it's important for potential guests. Despite its beautiful appearance, this resort disappoints. It's labeled as 5 stars, but falls far short, lacking in both quality and service.Staff struggle with English, rooms are outdated and unclean,with moldy carpets and worn-out towels.Basic amenities like coffee and water are not provided.Comparing it to other 5star properties in Tuscany, it's a huge letdown.Even the dining experience was subpar,with overcooked pasta and poorly prepared duck. Watching their failed attempt to cook the duck was like witnessing a culinary disaster movie.Our waiter, in a misguided attempt to be friendly, veered into awkward oversharing territory. And to add insult to injury, Marcelo charged us an arm and a leg for a couple of drinks. My gripe wasn't just about the hefty bill, but the blatant lack of respect.It felt like they were trying to milk us dry with those jaw-dropping charges. Skipping ahead to the next day, we decided to brave breakfast in the dining area.Sadly, the only thing worth swallowing was the coffee.That evening, we ventured into Montalcino for dinner—I just couldn't stomach another night of Italy's most lackluster cuisine. Fast forward to check-out:I learned my lesson dealing with their greedy, incompetent management.When I requested a copy of the bill before paying, they had the audacity to tack on an extra €800 charge, leaving the concierge clueless.I paid 2000E for 2 nights and coulnt wait to leave

Unforgettable. Relive a piece of history.
Amazing place and location. Breathtaking views, beautiful outdoor and indoor pools with thermal water, luxurious spa. Wonderful restaurant with the best Tuscan specialties, second to none wine list. Beautiful room with own private garden, entire property and gardens impeccably maintained, peaceful surroundings typical of the Tuscany hills. The best wineries of the famous Brunello all within a 15-minute drive, Siena, San Gimignano and other historic places reachable in an hour or less. A truly unforgettable experience.

The property is lovely, but the live music with dinner was ill suited to the atmosphere and the patrons were few on the ground. The low headcount makes an interesting selection of items for dinner difficult for the kitchen. Indeed the buffet breakfast was not available every day, again--it seems to me--due to the number of patrons at the hotels during my stay.

Honeymoon trip. I liked it more than my husband but we look for different things. He was very disappointed with the bedrooms. Not much space. It felt like we were sleeping in the same room as the bathroom. But the view from the bedroom was spectacular. The pools were absolutely gorgeous. The spa doesn’t open until noon. And the sauna was never hot. We would have liked to go earlier. One thing to note: if you book on Expedia the spa (saunas, steam room, salt bath) is not included when otherwise it is. The staff told us it was included and then at checkout they tried to charge us $50/each per day we used it. So just fyi- it is not free. The food at the restaurant is great for breakfast but not worthy the money for dinner. You will pay $160 for a steak that feeds 3 people (no option for less) and it will be the most mediocre steak of your life. It will be unforgettable since you’ll regret the choice! Better off eating dinner in Montalcino.

Love the castle, it is lovely. The thermal spa is nice, the spa is good. The food is excellent. The only thing that was not pleasant was the air conditioner was not working. We opened the door to the terrace which is beautiful but there were mosquitos and ants in the bed that I was not able to sleep well for two nights.
