Hotel Casafrassi Wine Resort

Staff.. The front desk is not friendly with the guest.....

Well located, splendid view, silence, nice garden and pool. Bathroom: very old installation, no heating (17-18 degrees C in bathroom at 7 am), 19" (!) TV screen (I only got italian channels). Breakfast (14 Euro): No service at all. Guests have to fetch all themselves (coffee/tee cup, coffee, milk, tee, napkin, cutlery etc.). If breakfast can be taken outside, you probably will have company: Three dogs begging for food from the guests tables. One, a Deutsche Dogge, with his snoth on your table. Albergo/hotel with the lowest service-performance to price ratio we ever stayed in.

Located about 500m off the main road between Castellina in Chianti and Sienna, approx 10km from the former, this hotel is very quiet, comfortable and with a real feel of a Tuscan villa about it, sitting amongst vineyards and olive groves. Service is unobtrusive and efficient, polite rather than over-friendly. Breakfasts are a simple, buffet affair, but with a bonus of being served on a very nice outside terrace in summer. Other meals are available from the restaurant 30m from the main hotel building, which is actually a separate business. Food here is good and not over-expensive. The hotel is a peaceful base for touring the Chianti region and beyond. There are half a dozen restauarants within 10 minutes drive. Sienna is half an hour away by car, Florence around an hour. We didn't use the pool, tennis courts or other sports/play facilities, but they all looked fine. Would we go back there? Sure!

We returned to the Hotel Casafrassi this summer and invited friends join us there. We are always impressed by the friendly staff, the quality of the accommodation and by the silence of the grounds (even the pool area has an air of tranquility that is not disturbed by the families using it). Sitting in the gardens in the late evening drinking the Casafrassi's own wines and hearing nothing but the cicadas is idyllic! (Try their new Super-Chianti - it will blow your mind!) To enjoy the distant views of Siena across hillsides covered in grape vines and olive trees is to experience the heart of that very English dream of what Tuscany should be! Enchanting in every way - a true hidden gem that we shall return to many times in the future.

Great service, and a beautiful place to stay. We really enjoyed it and would stay again, but the breakfast and the local onsite restaurant are not great so recommend going outside the hotel for food.

Excelllent place and very convienient to key sights. After asking for a room change (ssems you often get a no view, least attractive room offerred fisrt up) we got a great room with views over the Tuscan hill. Staff were excellent, resturant was verg good and well priced, overall a very good relaxing and enjoyable stay. Grounds and pool great, some animals around to add to Tuscan ambianceand good wines.We would certainly return again.

Rural charm with breathtaking views of Tuscany. Wonderful onsite restaurant and winery

The whole Place was rather tired and shabby, and the sides of our room floor were dusty. Breakfast had the poorest choice of the 5 hotels we stayed in during our trip. No English-language TV was available during our stay, and nothing was done about this. Stay somewhere else!

Been a guest at Cassfrassi several times and always found the service excellent and the location stunning. Surrounded by vines and olive trees, the hotel is a haven of silence - just the birds & the cicadas to disturb the peace! Rooms are very Italian rustic and the service is gentle and oersonal. The evening restaurant is charming with lovely views from the terrace over open countryside - you can see the walls and towers of Monteriggioni over the vine covered hills. You'll need a car to get the most from a stay here. Siena just 15 mins away; San Gimignano 30 mins.

We got the last room available and it was still very nice. The bath tub was very small for a 6'2 guy. My wife got a giggle though. The restaurant was WONDERFUL, and the included breakfast was very good as well. The wine made there was some of the best I have ever had. (and I am a wine snob) I would go back in a heartbeat.
