I stayed at four different hotels while traveling in Italy, and it's safe to say that Locanda Le…read morePiazze was the best hotel out of the bunch. There's a lot to say, so I'll try to break it up. Loction: Tuscany is overwhelming, but the hotel's location in Chianti is prime. You are only a 10-15 minute ride from Catellina which is a beautiful village with lots of restaurants and shops. You are also the same distance from several wineries. None are walkable, but because everything is so spread out that's probably tough to find anywhere. The hotel does have bikes, but just a warning that it's very tough to bike because of all the hills. Food & Drink: What you don't need to walk very far for is excellent food and drink. Breakfast is included in your stay and the spread is delicious. Lots of hot and cold options including eggs and bacon, meats and cheeses, fruits, pastries and oatmeal. There is also an incredible restaurant on the property (more on that in another review). It was so good that we ended up eating dinner there two out of three nights. Oh, and let's not forget the honors bar. The hotel has a few honors style bars set up throughout the property. Drawers and fridges full of every kind of wine, beer and liquor. Plus fixings to make cocktails and spritzes. All you'll need to do is write down how many you have and your room will be charged. The Grounds / Interiors: This is the best part about Locanda. The grounds are gorgeous. The rooms are impeccable. Every single inch of the space is thoughtfully designed, modern and perfect. Outside you'll find fresh plants and herbs, rolling hills and vineyards and the most gorgeous pool smack dab in the middle of it all. If we didn't have plans to hit wineries I honestly could have sat at that pool all day. Each day we got back to the hotel in the afternoon and spent hours relaxing and taking in the views. The rooms and all other interior space have the most whimsical decor -- I was a big fan of the dream catchers and artwork. Service: The service was on point the entire time. They really do their best to make you feel comfortable and like you are staying with family. At one point one of the groundskeepers was picking fresh figs and she even brought a bundle over to us straight from the tree. I can only dream about returning to this hotel again one day. If I ever find myself in Tuscany you can bet that this is where I'll stay.

We ended our pool day in the spa where we were able to use the sauna, steamroom, and jacuzzi. The hotel had a gorgeous outdoor pool, but for the cooler months there's also an indoor pool. The hotel's morning breakfast was amazing! They had everything from sweet waffles, pancakes, croissants to cheeses and meats, salmon, bacon and eggs, not to mention fresh fruit and yogurt bar. They also have many restaurants, including La Terrazza Restaurant and Il Pievano. Il Pievano has light dishes and is Michelin-starred / rated, while La Terrazza is your more casual dining also where breakfast was served every morning.

Located in the quiet yet centrally located San Niccolo neighborhood, the entire building with several apartments is stunning, The entrance, common rooms and gardens highlight the historic nature of the building but the apartments carefully integrate every modern comfort and convenience with the original architectural features and a nod to contemporary features the perfectly merge the past and the present. Our apartment Arno was a two level space with a living room- kitchenette combination, comfy couch and chairs, big screen TV and a downstairs bathroom with shower. Up a spiral staircase was a large loft bedroom with tons of closet space and another full bath. Solid wi-fi throughout. Our host, Fredrico with the friendly young staff answered questions and made recommendations for less-traveled sights and neighborhood restaurants with superb meals at reasonable prices. The breakfast room offered a chance to compare notes with other guests over pastries, coffee and teas. There is an unexpected shoe showcase and shop just in case you need some comfortable new shoes in the convenience of your hotel. And pick up the complimentary Tuscan Life magazine at the hotel for photos, articles and recipes about the region. Their website lists a range of special events so you might check that out too.

It is nestled right outside the Castellina In Chianti little town and makes an excellent base for hopping around the Tuscan part of the Italian boot. We stayed in a very quaint room. I felt like I was a guest in the Italian version of Downton abbey or Titanic. Our room furnishings were intricate and charming. The hotel has many rooms like a wine tasting room, a breakfast room, a reading room, a terrace. It's quite the ornate place! It simply feels like an experience from another time. I love vintage things and this was totally up my alley! The breakfast buffet is just exquisite. So many savory and sweet options, lovely regional cheeses and salami. The morning cappuccinos make you feel truly spoiled! We loved eating breakfast and looking out into the Tuscan country side (heart eyes for days ) Franco, Nicoletta and the rest of the staff are simply fabulous. Always greeting you and smiling. They make you genuinely feel welcomed and loved. they are such a sweet picture of Italian hospitality. Also the hotel is so clean. For being an older home, I was so impressed with the spotless, immaculate furniture, floors, and bathroom. Also the water pressure is so very nice! We hope to be back!
