Reviews of Palazzo Massaini - Cavarciano

This place was absolute bliss!! The best sunsets we saw in Italy were here. Quiet and relaxing!

We stayed for one night. The view is amazing, and the location is very convenient—close to both Montepulciano and Pienza. The swimming pool is a saltwater, chlorine-free oasis surrounded by the beautiful Tuscan hills, and the whole property is well managed and cared for. I really appreciated that the hotel allowed us to check in early, and also that we could leave our cat in the room while we visited Pienza. The room was quite spacious for two people, and since finding parking in Tuscan old towns can be a real challenge, I loved having parking right in front of the hotel.

The room feels a bit empty and simple compared to the outdoor area, which is very well-maintained and cared for. A bottle of water costs €4, which seems expensive. It would be nice if complimentary bottled water were provided, as we experienced in other places during this vacation, while keeping additional bottles available for purchase. The breakfast is good, but I expected it to be a little better.

The room, the delicious breakfast, the swimming pool, the amazing views, the Palazzo Massaini itself which has breathtaking views

Everything was amazing

The property is beautiful. A restored old castle that keeps its charm while being very comfortable and up to date. The pool is lovely overlooking Valle d’orcia. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful and breakfast was really good, accommodating dietary restrictions. Many Tuscany villages just 10-15’ away by car.

Amazing view from the pool. Quiet and peaceful.

Breakfast could include more fresh items - mixed salad, tomatos, cucumber etc.

It felt like our home away from home. Lovely staff. Perfect location. We will be back!

Nothing to report.

Amazing gem

They should offer dinner, def after a winetasting since driving is the only option to a restaurant

The property has three areas - the palazzo, and two farmhouses each with a pool. They were some way away from each other. We were allocated to a farmhouse. Loved the setting - idyllic views. Pool was amazing. Room was lovely; the triple was actually two rooms with a separate hallway and bathroom - almost a suite. Breakfast was *fabulous* - looking at previous reviews they've clearly upped their game. Staff were super friendly and helpful.

The farmhouse we stayed in was picturesque but lacked any public or outdoor space that wasn't the pool area - which could get crowded (I think if you stay in the palazzo you can also come down and use the pool, so there were more guests than loungers one day). It was a beautiful area and very 'grammable (and the clientele mostly matched - mostly couples) but some quieter garden areas would be nice to give everyone a bit more space especially those who had brought kids. There was a bar but it was a drive away in the palazzo; an honesty bar in the farmhouse itself would have been a nice touch.

Beautiful, peaceful hotel with wonderful views across the Tuscan landscape. The pool area was fantastic, and we appreciated the chairs around the property which were great for picnics in the garden. The highlight was the breakfast - truly outstanding - and helpful, friendly staff.

We would recommend that a small refrigerator be added to the rooms. When there is such lovely local produce and wine, and the summer temperatures are so hot, it would be great to have access to cold drinks/cheese. The bathroom was a bit odd - a large area but such a tiny shower. But this was not a big issue.

The view is amazing! Breakfast was delightful and the rooms are very comfortable. Do try the wine tasting, it’s worth it!

Location and staff

Nothing, it was all great.

Staying at Palazzo Massaini Cavarciano was an absolute dream…the breathtaking views with rolling hills, vineyards, and golden sunsets that looked like something out of a postcard. The infinity pool was perfect, it felt like we had our own paradise. Breakfast was fresh and local, with a great selection of pastries, cheeses, and more. The entire property has this quiet elegance…rustic charm meets understated luxury. The staff was warm, helpful, and made us feel right at home. If you're looking for a place to reconnect with nature, and just enjoy the beauty of Tuscany, this is the perfect place. We honestly didn’t want to leave. Can’t wait to come back!

Everything, absolutely perfect

Nothing

Good location, delicious breakfast and nice staff!

Hard to reach if you don’t have car

Words can’t describe how beautiful this place is! Very clean. The staff was very welcoming! Breakfast was perfect 🙏🏻 We also did wine tasting at the property which was really good. I will definitely come back!

the view and the location

Place is amazing, in the middle of Tuscan countryside. Peaceful place surrounded by nature

Nothing to be honest
