Can definitely recommend the Costello.
Pros:

The pool and the staff were excellent. Great breakfast.
The views!

Cons:

The terrace restaurant menu was ok only. We stayed for 10 days which was unusual for the hotel, most doing short stay and moving around. Unfortunately the menu did not change which was very disappointing. Explore the cafes in Gaiole and around.

Agradável, confortável, num lugar muito especial.
Pros:

O quarto é muito confortável, a vista é linda, as piscinas e a sauna são excelentes e o staff é muito atencioso!

Cons:

Pedi um ovo frito no café da manhã e o preço foi de EU 16. Sinceramente, acho que pela categoria do hotel e pelo que já se paga pela estadia, cobrar à parte, e nesse valor, um simples ovo frito é algo que me parece tacanho e depõe contra o próprio hotel.

Toller Aufenthalt in einem sehr schönen Ressort im Herzen der Toskana
Pros:

Wir haben das Castello di Spaltenna im Rahmen eines Wochenendausflugs in die Toskana für zwei Nächte besucht und den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das Hotel liegt etwas außerhalb von Florenz in einer wunderschönen Landschaft und bietet einen herrlichen Blick auf die Hügel der Toskana.

Das Frühstück war sehr gut, die Zimmer angenehm und der Infinity-Pool ein wunderbarer Ort, um einfach einmal abzuschalten. Dort kann man problemlos lange liegen bleiben.

Sehr empfehlenswert ist auch das Sternerestaurant im Hotel. Wir hatten dort einen wirklich schönen Abend und fanden das Menü hervorragend und Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis sehr vernünftig.

Die Lage ist ideal, um die schönen Weindörfer der Toskana zu erkunden. Auch Florenz und der Flughafen sind mit dem Auto in etwa einer Stunde gut erreichbar.

Insgesamt war es ein sehr angenehmer und erholsamer Aufenthalt. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Cons:

Ein Badetuch und Getränkeservice am Pool würde das Erlebnis noch verbessern.

beautiful location, but not modernized and significantly overpriced
Pros:

The estate is very beautiful. Nice pool and friendly and helpful staff.

Cons:

The rooms though and especially the beds were not good. You could hear the neighbors talk and the beds were super hard. It was very old fashioned. Some modern touches would have been nice. Breakfast is ***-level. Food in the casual restaurant overpriced.

Perfect honeymoon setting
Pros:

It is beautiful, particularly the outdoors pool. The spa is great. The staff was so friendly. Our room, the garden jacuzzi, was beyond expectations.

Splendida posizione e personale molto disponibile. Attenzione alla camera assegnata.
Pros:

La struttura gode di una posizione splendida, immersa nella natura del Chianti, con una bellissima vista panoramica. Piscina molto bella e personale estremamente cortese e disponibile. Dopo un problema con la prima camera assegnata, lo staff è intervenuto prontamente e la seconda sistemazione nella dépendance è risultata molto più confortevole e gradevole.

Cons:

La prima camera assegnata, situata al secondo piano e raggiungibile senza ascensore, era piuttosto vetusta, molto calda e poco luminosa, sia per la limitata luce naturale sia per l’illuminazione artificiale. La colazione è buona, ma migliorabile nella scelta delle marmellate e della frutta. Manca inoltre un vero servizio in prossimità della piscina, per cui è necessario risalire fino al bar/ristorante. Non abbiamo cenato al ristorante; abbiamo provato soltanto un’insalata e dei tagliolini, di buon livello ma non eccellente.

Pros:

Un lieu exceptionnel avec beaucoup de charme et des équipements de belles qualités.

Cons:

Malheureusement, la table de bistrot et les petits déjeuners ne sont absolument pas à la hauteur de la qualité du site, peu de choix, produits industriels pour la plupart. Un détail également ; le cours de tennis doit être impérativement nettoyé.
