Renaissance Tuscany Il Ciocco Resort & Spa

Exceptional location, staff and amenities. Everything was beautiful. Breakfast was unbelievable.

Nothing

I just want to thank the staff at the restaurant especially Mohamed Ali, Davide, Jocelyn, Mihaela. They were very friendly and accommodating all our questions and special dietary requests. Also, they were very fun! Can’t thank them enough.

Posto incantevole con piscina sia esterna sia interna,con piccola spa e palestra

La spa è davvero troppo piccola rispetto alla capienza della struttura

Outstanding! We didn't want to leave. The hotel is perched nicely above the small village of Barga and offers wonderful views of the local countryside below. I was impressed with our room (303); well-appointed, ample space and a balcony to enjoy a glass of Tuscan Red while enjoying the above-mentioned views. I always believe that good views, good location and good character are important in a quality hotel although what really makes an elite hotel is the hotel team. This team is 5*+. Everyone we came in contact with were friendly, professional and what we liked most - they showed their individual personalities. We were very impressed overall and thank them for their warm hospitality. Looking for the perfect place? You just found it.

Might be one the most incredible places in Tuscany from an intimate, scenery and Italian luxury point of view. Breakfast on the terrace overlooking valley plus many great activities in Barga nearby.

The location is extremely beautiful, with vast panoramic views, at the time of our visit early May 2026, distant snow topped ranges were visible. A €20 taxis ride to Barga, sees you at the local station for trip to Pisa and Lucca around 45mins away. For a few euros rather than €100 for a taxi and you get to see more countryside. We booked an accessible room as I use a wheelchair, unfortunately on one day the service lift was broken and the smaller lift are tiny. Had to fold my chair ( then only just big enough.) The room is adequate with small folding screen cubicle in shower. It's supposed to be four and a half star rating, I personally think that's stretching it. I think the staff make up most of those awarded. The reception staff are without question exceptional, as are the waiting and porter staff, John in particular. For a nearly 5 star rating, parts are worn and tired. Backs of dining chairs are rubbed and scuffed, cutlery is very worn, at breakfast on a few days there were no china cups but paper cups only, cutlery wasn't sharp, you couldn't cut a peach at breakfast, we had half board the food was OK but lacked vegetables. It's a Marriot hotel, and one of the American bosses was there at the time of our visit, they were polishing coal as they used to say. But it is tired. Worth the money? Beware all the extras. Would I stay again, I don't think so. We were only on a short break (4 days)

Udsigten og deres aften servering var gode kvalitets retter med god smag

Deres spa var ikke vedligeholdt og meget dårlig kvalitet

Beautiful location at the top of a hill. Breathtaking views!

High prices at the restaurant.
