Me and my wife stayed there for our honeymoon. We had an exceptional time. The service was exceptional. The pools and amenities were very nice. Great! Breakfast was just free. Located close to montel Chino and many great wineries. Specifically, we really enjoyed the wine tasting. The entire staff were great but here were some standouts , We were helped by Kristian who made us feel extremely welcomed and Morris who performed our wine tasting and he was an exceptional. Strong recommendation, great value.

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!

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.

First of all the views are to die for. Few issues I had and I’m going to keep it short, bath would not drain, we asked for maintenance to come out but after two attempts nothing was improved. Make sure to make reservations, even with a half board they had issues accommodating us. We found bugs in our room which was report to the staff. Overall we will not be returning. The staff is nice but no accommodation was made for my stay with these issues it was easier for me just to pay my tab and leave.

I cant think of a more perfect place to stay. It is a beautiful property, with a long history, in one of the most beautiful regions of the world. We had one of the more "basic" rooms but it was still luxurious and comfortable. Amenities were great and the food/wine was amazing. We had some logistical problems with some of our travel plans and the staff was incredibly helpful. We are very grateful to Andrei, Kristian and Valeria especially.
