14/10/2024: Beautiful hotel overlooking the Tuscan fields! Romantic atmosphere. The hotel has a small number of rooms, which makes it private. The elderly man at the reception represents an incredible level of service that is rarely seen these days! The bathroom smells nice of cosmetics. The downside is the spa. I don't know why, but the saunas were not working during our visit, and they are located in a separate building from the pool.
13/08/2024: We are on our way back home, sorry for not being able to extend our stay but also completely satisfied by the experience that the Spaltenna Castle can offer even in just a few days! The place is extraordinary: a careful recovery of the original structures makes use of a skilful integration of the new structures, perfectly incorporated into the nature of the area. We tried all the services offered and were amazed by the extreme attention to aesthetic and human detail, by the functionality with which every moment of the day is managed and by the discretion that can be maintained despite the crawl space of operators and activities! There is one nice thing that we cannot fail to underline: among all the castles and locations that we have been lucky enough to know, Spaltenna Castle is the king of amenities!!!!!!!! You could stay with an empty suitcase!
The place sells itself, the management is evidently valid and consolidated, but the real strength is made up of the people: at the reception Vincenzo's eyes shine when he talks about his territory; Giorgio the mêtre of Pievano is the light and elegance of a restaurant that deserves a separate review; Elisabetta the sommelier is a beautiful woman who preserves the ancient secrets of her grandmothers in her professionalism; Lorenzo knows how to spell out the chef's talent with the right pauses and the emphasis of a touching passion for such a young boy; Augustin's delicate cocktails will make you want to hug this very sweet boy, Lara's determination in action is only the incipit for a beautiful chat with the backdrop of shooting stars and cicadas; and if you season everything with Gemma's cocktails??? Almost as extraordinary as her bright smile! Amed's kindness is precious, it shines through the eyes and perfectly packaged his professionalism; and then there is our favourite, little Chiara who, with her purity, is the mascot of a wonderful staff made up of many other people who we were not lucky enough to get to know better but who made our stay special.
The infinity pool alone is worth the trip; breakfast on the terrace is super and always take at least one muffin, the internal room of the restaurant "La terrazza" is stupendous, the quality of the food is excellent and absolutely valid both the wine and the vin santo of own production, the Pievano on the other hand, he literally stole my heart!
