Casalta Di Pesa

“The apartment is visually appealing, with spacious interiors and multiple rooms. It is well-suited for four adults to stay comfortably.”

Our stay at Casalta di Pesa was far below expectations. Traveling with our 11-month-old twins, we faced numerous issues that significantly impacted our holiday. The most frustrating part was the rude and unhelpful attitude of the guest representative, Silvia. 1. Room Temperature Issues: When we arrived, the room temperature was fixed at 19°C and it was very cold. We couldn’t adjust it ourselves, so we waited until the next morning to contact Silvia. She said the temperature was centrally controlled and would increase it. However, when we returned in the evening, it was still 19°C. Only after another complaint did the temperature finally get adjusted. Having to deal with this during a relaxing vacation was frustrating. 2. Missing Kettle: The room did not have a kettle, which was essential for us to prepare formula and sterilize items for our babies. I repeatedly explained the urgency to Silvia, especially since the booking page stated that the room had one. Despite this, she said it could only be provided the next day. This was unacceptable and caused unnecessary stress. 3. Late Check-out Denied: On our last day, we asked for just a one-hour late check-out to wash the dishes, but the request was denied. We had to leave without cleaning up. Afterwards, we received a rude message calling us “disrespectful,” which was extremely upsetting. 4. House Conditions: The house was very damp, and our clothes stayed moist throughout the stay. This was uncomfortable, especially with babies. The kitchen was outdated and lacked basic items like salt or oil. The bathroom wasn’t very clean, and the pool had visible algae. Overall, for a property priced in a higher segment, the level of service and cleanliness was far from acceptable. What was supposed to be a relaxing holiday turned into a stressful experience. I’m sharing this review so other families are aware and can

We stayed 3 nights at Casalta di Pesa with our baby. The apartment is beautifully furnished, with a great kitchen and living area. Baby cot and high chair were provided. The surrounding Chianti landscape is breathtaking, and the friendly gardener keeps the grounds in great shape & the cleaning lady’s have been very welcoming.

The access road is very rough – difficult without an SUV. There’s no personal check-in; everything is handled via WhatsApp. At night, the remote castle can feel a bit spooky. The bathroom could have been cleaner – there was some mold in the shower and on the showerhead.

We loved the view and location of the house — it was a truly Tuscan setting surrounded by vineyards. The house was beautifully decorated in traditional Tuscan style, with a well-kept garden and pool. We also appreciated the possibility to use the grill, which made our stay even more enjoyable.

One downside was the lack of an on-site host — there was no personal check-in or welcome, just communication via SMS. While that may suit some guests, we would have appreciated someone there to greet us and explain the house. The kitchen was very poorly equipped for a house meant for six people: no dishwasher, only two very small fridges, and no proper utensils for grilling. Also, the bedroom wardrobes were large but had only a few hangers, making it difficult to unpack and stay organized.

The facility and natura around are just great

The small gravel road to rach the apartments was not well maintained, so you need to be careful depending on the car you have when you drive up there

The place is absolutely gorgeous! The surroundings and the apartment itself. The rooms were large, the whole place is designed beautifully, the kitchen was super comfortable and the terrace with the grill was a delight. The views are one of kind and are worth the bumpy road!!!

There weren’t clear instructions to where the keys were. We got to the place and it was dark and no one was there to help us. Only after we texted and called the owner, we understood the keys were inside. It wold have been much better if we could have gotten the instructions in advance, before we got there. Also, the place is very isolated, it has its charm but you need to like it, for us it was a bit too lonely. Last, there weren’t any basics in the kitchen, no salt, sugar, cooking oil… we had to buy everything for our short stay. It’s not terrible but it could have been nice to have these basics for cooking.

Beautifully restored property with incredible pool area; individual sitting areas outside each apartment that are quite private. The apartment is well appointed for items like pots, pans, cookware, etc. everything you would need for cooking at the apartment. A very nice touch was the bottle of Chianti in the room - provided by the host. (Other hosts take note! :) We travelled in early September so the high, summer heat had relented (evenings were comfortable) but not sure how warm the apartment would be without AC in the summer?! These are "issues" maybe only for North Americans like us?!

If there is 1 drawback to the apartment is that there is nothing very close by to get supplies, groceries, etc. It must be accessed by car and that drive involves a quite bumpy gravel road for the first 1km. With some planning in advance, this is less of an issue but you do not walk out of the apartment and "go for a morning coffee" - brew your own and enjoy the incredible view!

The property is situated in a beautiful location. Great views, comfortable amenities. Really enjoyed the stay and had a great memorable family vacation here. Highly recommended.

Everything was perfect! We had everything that we need, it was clean, cozy and we felt amazing!:) i hope that we will come back again and we will definitely choose that accommodation ☺️ we loved it ! :))

Only small thing : wifi connection was not so good, but i think it was problem in whole region and we didn’t work so we didn’t mind, we were just enjoying :)
