    Exceptional place to stay! We were absolutely blown away by the location, groomed grounds and spacious apartment. Breakfast was a nice surprise! Having a restaurant on site is a huge bonus and food was delicious.

    Absolutely nothing

    This place was absolutely exceptional! The history of the monastery made us feel like we had stepped back in time. Our favorite part was exploring the beautifully maintained grounds—they were truly magical. We also loved the fresh, organic food grown right on site. From farm to table, every breakfast was outstanding. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. I cannot recommend this place enough, and we would love to return!

    Fun, delicious, relaxing, beautiful. The cooking class was totally worth it!

    The WiFi was a little slow. Very little to complain about but there were a LOT of bees/yellow jackets (?) in the garden and around the outdoor tables that also made their way into the breakfast room because the doors were open (understandable because the weather was so nice, but for anyone with an allergy, their presence inside was worrisome).

    We had an incredible stay at Badia a Coltibuono, and wish we'd had more time to enjoy the grounds/pool. The highlight was a cooking class with Linda, who was so patient and fun in guiding us through the meal we cooked and then enjoyed with wine pairings. Her assistant (who also have us a tour of the wine cellar and provided the wine pairings) was also wonderful. If you do the cooking class, pace yourself! It's a lot of delicious but filling food!

    I would be nice to have: more options to eat, maybe another restaurant or like a little snack shop; some services at the pool (towels there so that guests don't have to bring them); more activities in the hotel

    The hotel is one of the most beautiful I have seen! It's like a fairy tale hotel. The rooms are great in space, decorations, and services. Everything works perfectly! The staff is super nice and helpful, giving the extra mile. The breakfast is good, with gorgeous views to the garden. The restaurant is good but I think it can be better (more variety, traditional dishes, bigger portions, etc). The pool is very peaceful, which i appreciate.

    Didn't have enough luggage space to take more bottles of wine

    Badia a Coltibuono is truly one of a kind — imagination alone cannot capture it. The property is a unique space in a unique setting: authentic, untouched, and surrounded by nature’s beauty. Every corner feels timeless and serene. The breakfast setting and common areas are excellent, and the views and surroundings are what dreams are made of. We especially loved the cooking classes and the chance to socialize with other guests — such a memorable experience. It's a pity we only stayed for a couple of days; this place deserves to be enjoyed at a slower pace.

    One thing to note is that the pool wasn't in operation during our stay, but we were okay with it given the hotel's other great qualities.

    The night was an unforgettable experience! The hotel, housed in an ancient monastery, was breathtakingly beautiful. The rooms, decor, and surroundings were all stunning. The garden was a highlight, especially during breakfast - it was truly incredible. We also had the chance to try a nearby restaurant, and the carbonara was delicious.

    We had an electric vehicle and the on-site charger was out of service - worth checking if you're in same position. There are other options in nearby towns / en-route so easy to solve.

    We loved our stay - especially the cooking class! Really relaxing setting and views, with the property steeped in history. The restaurant and cafe on site was wonderful too. Enjoyed learning about their wines and bought some to take home.

    Due to the nature of the building, there are some peculiarities. For those who know the UK well, it's like staying in a National Trust property. The grounds have other visitors and you're within the old Monastery which can feel like you're in the wrong place... there were boy scouts camping in the gardens which felt a little awkward when sitting by the pool for example. Mentioning the pool it's worth noting how dirty it is, I'm not sure it had been cleaned for a long time (a very bad smell and lots of dead bugs and flies covering the surface!) the majority of the beds were broken and there was no running water in the toilet. There was a lot of building work going on close to the pool too so the constant digging and machinery noise broke the calm for our relaxing day here. I wish there was more about the property available so you could understand where you were, a map and story for example, as it just feels like you've broken into an abandoned museum!

    Booking.com has since updated this listing with more photos etc, but I honestly had no idea this was an old Monastery! The grounds and building hold so much history so this was a welcome surprise. The building is full of original furniture and antiques which set a wonderful atmosphere. The breakfast is outstanding, a wonderful buffet of local foods cooked to a very high standard - I felt like royalty eating on the balcony overlooking the english garden. I highly recommend dinner in the restaurant too, the tasting menu is fantastic value for money! Overall this is the place to be if you want to simply relax and feel like you've stepped into a moment of history.

    Nothing! Only thing I'd mention is the restaurant onsite menu was a little limited but still lovely!

    Breakfast was delicious and in a beautiful setting to start the morning. The staff were fantastic and accommodating (especially Alessandra) who made our visit seamless from the start and answered every question we had. The pasta making glass is a must! Great value for money. Beautiful surroundings and great pool.

    Bathroom is huge and very clean, but a little bit out of age.

    Well that is a very special hotel, beautiful and quietly located between a little forrest and a field (going downhill). Everybody of the service is very friendly. Everything is clean and the breakfast was great and mostly handmade. Perfect. Made also the wine-tasting (costs extra) but absolutely worth doing it.
