Monteverdi Tuscany

A special shoutout to Enes, who made our afternoons and evenings unforgettable. His drinks were fantastic—whether he was mixing something familiar or introducing us to local creations, every cocktail was truly mind-blowing. His service was warm, attentive, and absolutely exceptional. We visited in November, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The changing leaves made the entire resort look like something out of a postcard. Our room was beautiful, comfortable, and the ideal place to unwind after a day of relaxing and exploring. We left feeling refreshed, cared for, and already talking about when we can come back. This resort is a gem—highly, highly recommend.

Não se deixem enganar pelas avaliações positivas: este hotel é a maior pegadinha da Toscana. Localização isolada, acesso por estrada de chão e nada que justifique o título de 5 estrelas — com boa vontade, não entrega 3. Reservei e paguei uma suíte super luxo com vista e cama king: sem frigobar, sem controle de ar, sem guarda-roupa (apenas um varal com cabides), sem banheira, sem cafeteira e com um monitor de 27”. Enxoval barato, toalhas vermelhas grosseiras e decoração americanizada, fria e sem identidade — fruto de um investidor que transformou uma vila milenar em um negócio sem alma. No check-in, recebi um quarto improvisado e conjugado com mais dois, todos compartilhando a mesma sala de estar. Só após recusa firme nos transferiram para outro, com duas camas de solteiro unidas para simular uma king. Agora, pasmem: o hotel fica a 750 m de altitude, com frio constante — e o uso da única piscina aquecida custa 90 euros por pessoa, por vez. Ou paga, ou não entra. Já me hospedei em Castello di Casole, Banfi, San Felice, Santo Pietro, Villa San Sanino e Castiglion del Bosco — todos impecáveis, autênticos e com alma toscana. O Monteverdi não chega perto. Conclusão: um blefe monumental travestido de hotel boutique. Frio, sem entrega e sem alma. Um desperdício de tempo, dinheiro e paciência. Don't be fooled by positive reviews: this hotel is the biggest prank in Tuscany. Isolated location, access by dirt road and nothing that justifies the 5-star title - with good will, does not deliver 3. I booked and paid for a super luxury suite with a view and king bed: no minibar, no air control, no wardrobe (only a clothesline with hangers), no bathtub, no coffee maker and a 27" monitor. Cheap trousseau, coarse red towels and Americanized decoration, cold and without identity - the result of an investor who transformed a millennial village into a soulless business. At check-in, I received an improvised room and combined with two more, all sharing the same living room. Only after firm refusal were we transferred to another, with two single beds joined to simulate a king. Now, amazed: the hotel is 750 m above sea level, with constant cold - and the use of the only heated pool costs 90 euros per person per time. Either you pay, or you don't enter. I have already stayed in Castello di Casole, Banfi, San Felice, Santo Pietro, Villa San Sanino and Castiglion del Bosco - all impeccable, authentic and with a Tuscan soul. Monteverdi doesn't come close. Conclusion: a monumental bluff disguised as a boutique hotel. Cold, without surrender and without soul. A waste of time, money and patience.

Everything about the property is fantastic. The rooms, the place, the beauty of every detail. But the service is truly amazing. Mireya and Valentina helped us a lot, they went the extra mile to made us feel well special. The breakfast is really good and the restaurante Oreade should received at least one Michelin star. I would love to come back and I recommend this hotel to everyone looking for a unique experience in Tuscany

Staff made the stay so welcoming. Can’t wait to go back one day.

Monteverdi was created from a once abandoned hill village in Tuscany. Everything about it is exceptional from the rooms, to the food, to the service, to the hospitality. The views over the stunning Val d’Orcia are incomparable. There are so many hidden lanes and secluded places to sit and relax. They can arrange excursions like the mind blowing visit to a neighboring Pecorino farm (see my just posted review of Caseificio Piu). Also worth noting is their world class (and for the quality reasonably priced) wine list. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Our stay at Monteverdi was simply beyond expectations! This place is a true gem, where every detail is thoughtfully crafted. The atmosphere is pure magic, blending Tuscan landscapes, elegant design, and genuinely warm hospitality into one unforgettable experience. We have to highlight their wonderful chef, Chef Giancarla Bodoni, who offered an incredible cooking class that left a huge impression on us. It was not only fascinating and delicious, but also a hit with our kids, who absolutely loved the experience. We left feeling completely enchanted and we know we’ll be coming back. Monteverdi is a little slice of paradise that everyone should visit at least once!
