Tenuta di Mensanello In Colle di val d'elsa

For those who are not demanding and prioritize price, this is the right place. A characteristic, rustic winery with beautiful Tuscan nature, swimming pool and panoramic restaurant with stunning views. A large apartment with a living room and two bedrooms (with air conditioning in both rooms)), but with little comfort and a bad bathroom. In the living room, there is a kitchen counter with a stove, toaster and kettle (no microwave), but there is no socket on the wall of the counter (!?). There is also a small TV (the size of a computer monitor) The sofa in the living room is unusable, as the upholstery is worn out and you practically sit on hard wood. No armchair or comfortable place to sit in the room. Cleaning of the apartment is not included, but there are also no cleaning materials available, not even a disinfectant for the bathroom or dishwashing detergent. Terrible Wi-Fi. It is only good for reading WhatsApp or email. It does not download a video or photo. Breakfast is very weak and incomplete, and with poor service. As I said, an excellent place, which could be a great and characteristic hotel, after a good renovation or, at least, a little more attention with some details, to give us more confort. But maybe that is not really the owners' goal. We have to respect this.

I spent two days there, very positive, good rooms, very courteous staff and tactical location between Siena and Florence. Very pleasant appetizers and main courses, unfortunately I did not taste the first courses, very pleasant wines of their production, honorable mention for their white grappa as sweet as it is effective.

We stopped for 2 nights with the idea of ​​experiencing Tuscany a little. This is the place we hoped to find: a refined and characteristic environment, excellent cuisine and wine, exceptional staff. A wonderful experience.

Il ristorante si trova nella Tenuta a circa 15 minuti d’auto da Colle Val d’Elsa. Il ristorante propone piatti della cucina toscana, i vini proposti sono di loro produzione. I piatti sono di buona qualità come anche i vini. Ambiente semplice, personale gentile. Rapporto qualità/prezzo nella media. Suggerito di verificare se il ristorante è aperto prima di andarci.

Nice atmosphere, very good typical Tuscan cuisine
