Reviews of Castello Del Nero - Podere San Filippo

Incredible! Scenery was insane, very tranquil and the facilities and pool were perfect.

Mosquitos were a big problem, but apart from that it was perfect

Lovely property set in a beautiful location. Very peaceful. Aesthetically pleasing.

Really exceptional property with super knowledgeable staff, offering also an option of washing machines and dryers, along with fully equipped kitchen.

Missing clothes rack to dry the clothes, apart provided dryers.

Such a beautiful place to be!

Driving to breakfast and having to coordinate 4 people to do this was the only thing that didn't quite work as well for us

Cleaness, quietness and views of wineyards and sunset

No problems

An incredible stay! We had some trouble with checking in at first and the very lovely and kind Miyani (the receptionist from Como) helped to sort everything out. It was a wonderful stay and we loved every moment. Love the grounds, the rooms, the breakfast. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality!

The view of Castello and from the pool was breathtaking, you feel like staying in heart of Tuscany.

There is not possible to buy wine you must go to somewhere else

The property is outstanding and the manager and team were very friendly and nothing was a problem. The manager directed us to all of the most outstanding towns and villages, with amazing restaurants for all budgets. We had the most relaxing time!

We had to collect the keys from a neighboring property about a half mile away, which was annoying, but not too out of the way. It was a big, beautiful fancy villa. Then we went to the one where we were staying ha, and wondered if we could switch to the first. However- the view from the pool was idyllic - the pool itself big and beautiful. The bathrooms were gorgeous, esp. the one with a window. Loved the old tubs. The mosquito screens on the apt windows were necessary. I loved the charm of Tuscany, and the olive fields nearby. There's a free parking lot for the rental car you'll need. -general areas for seating were available around the property (but cushion-less metal chairs/ benches) -provided a welcome bottle of wine for us, that was nice -the linens were monogrammed nicely and presented well -great big rectangular sun umbrellas to fit over two pool chairs -some basic kitchen items provided so you can cook I think if your expectations are in the right place, you will be happy with this property.

Sooo many mosquitos at the pool that we had to lay out with our towels covering us! The pool water was very cold in beginning of September- some sort of heating would be great. The biggest problem for me was the lighting - the photos were definitely edited brighter and the apartment itself was dark like a cave even during the brightest time of day. That was very disappointing and I felt catfished the first two days since I took extra care reviewing countless properties to try to find the perfect place for us. No sunlight inside. Eventually, I got over it and appreciated the apt for what it was - a very old restored farmhouse with rustic charm. Other problems: -no restaurant / food on site. Nothing in walking distance - you need a car rental and grocery shopping. -staff could have been a bit more friendly/ accommodating. -impossible to get a car for hire for wine tastings etc. - drivers not really available in the area. If you do get someone, expect to pay. -several families staying with kids very loudly playing in the pool all day. We escaped to Tuscany for peace and the silence of the hills...considering finding an "adults only" place next time. -we were on the top floor so no outside seating / patio for us. -most of the pool chairs were broken...but still worked and mostly comfortable -laundry area is in a basement by the pool, dark, spider webby. IMPOSSIBLE with all the mosquitos thriving down there - I couldn't even go do laundry. Other guests did utilize it, for me wasn't worth it. Bought detergent and hand washed my clothes in my bathtub. -not fully cleaned before we got there? dishes in dishwasher, etc. -they expect you to clean up and take out trash like airbnb style. Thought this was a 4-star stay? Not one cleaning service during a week stay or any hotel amenities. Ultimately - the trip we envisioned was not the trip we got- but it still stands out as a beautiful week from our travels, and glad we had the experience!

it was beautiful, picturesque such a beautiful spot.

We found a cafe with coffee and pastries on our last morning, about 5 min away, we wish we would have known about it sooner. it was so good, we wished we could have had that coffee and pastries everyday. And a queen bed would have been I don’t love the two twins together but the bed and bedding was comfortable.

Stunning setting and a large, comfortable apartment. Great location in Chianti.

Kitchen facilities could do with an upgrade, and portable AC units aren’t ideal (but better than nothing)

Very nice apartments and location, pleasant staff, spectacular view.

Lack of air conditioner

Location was lovely. Room was a very good size for a family and beds very comfortable. The complimentary wine was a nice touch.

The room needed a clean. It fell below our expectations for cleanliness. The plugs were full of hair and gunk, and under the beds and seat cushions needed a good vacuum. It was great to be able to use a washing machine but it too was dirty and mouldy. The pool shower needed cleaning. The pool was nice but the loungers needed renewing.

the view is absolutely stunning, very quiet and peaceful. big apartment, comfortable overall, nice old design inside.

needs more deep cleaning, and cleaning while guests are in. stayed for 3 days, not been cleaned, and no cleaning supplies in the apartment.

Breakfast was not included. The Booking.com listing was incorrect which was a surprise that cost us extra money. We weren't too happy about this.

Notification of pool hours whenever we wanted. Washer and dryer instructions in English.
