Reviews of Albergo Villa San Michele 3 stars

High quality food, at a beautiful and historic site, and an exceptional couple who own and run the place.

The atmosphere and the host are lovely

It has amazing views. The room is really cozy and beautiful. It has a bar and a restaurant with delicious food.

Excellent location, yummy breakfast and the kindest hosts. Wished we had stayed longer

Nothing

A little piece of heaven in the middle of the woods! Daniel and Alice are amazing hosts and dinner was divine both nights! We were able to rest, relax and create beautiful memories for our family.

The hospitality and warmth of the owners- the little private garden we have for our appartment

The building is old (which is gives the place its character) but the humidity inside was not healthy for us ( we all suffer from allergies though, so it might not be a good fit for us)- also the apartment was not too clean.

An absolutely stunning and wonderful place! The hosts were incredibly attentive and kind — they helped carry our bags and even upgraded our room. The villa is nestled in a forest in the mountains, where you can take peaceful walks in the morning and evening, enjoying the silence and the delicious scent of the woods. Dinner was worthy of a Michelin star, and breakfast was simple, truly natural, and delicious. This place is absolutely amazing!

It's an absolutely unique experience to stay in Tuscan hill for my European summer trip. If you are into nature/outdoors, it's the ideal place for you- tranquil and green. You stay in the nature with nice facilities and food, what else will you ask for? My room is cozy and comfortable to stay (it has everything you need), I wake up in.birds singing. Appreciate the owners' taste on details, such as little fresh flowers in my room and dining tables. Free buffet breakfast are amazing, especially when you are staying.in.the nature; fruits, cheese, yogurt, cereals, bread, cookies, juice,eggs, generous supply.You can.also order meals there. The owners were very kind to.pick me up in the.town as I relied on public transportation. Their place locates on tophill, 15 km away from Radda in Chianti. They also arranged a free car ride for me back.to.town.after checking out. I.will.defintely.go.back.and.stay.longer next.time. Thanks for.the owner's advise on hiking trails, I had a.nice.adventure- hiking alone in Tuscan forest (nobody seen but safe)

The owners' two dogs are cute but barked quite a lot on the second night.

The owners of this cozy hotel on top of the highest hill in the Chianti region are great people and they're there for a reason: they love nature and want their guests to feel as comfortable as possible in a place they tuly cherish. My only regret is having had little time to enjoy that little corner of heaven and no time at all to hike. Food and wine were excellent too.

Everything was great. Nothing to complain about.

The hospitality provided by the Owner is exceptional.

Alice and Danielle were consistently excellent hosts. Location was rural and tranquil. Restaurant menu was varied, interesting and cooked to perfection. Equitemporal from Firenze and Siena and in the heart of beautiful Chianti countryside. Dog friendly, which adds to the conviviality.

The 2km dirt track was very drivable but leaves one with a irritatingly constantly dirty car. Tips: a) approach from the east - the route from Greve involves about 9km of dirt track, which takes forever. b) if you are a large person, request a room which has a an ‘adult size’ shower cubicle.

First of all, this was a wonderful experience for us to stay in Villa San Michele, within the nature and with our lovely hosts. There are some details below that may be useful for the guests: General: This is a place that is at the start of a national park's hiking route and is covered by many trees. The nature was magnificent, you can take hikes, chill in the facility with the fresh weather or take your kids to the plain grass to play (there is also a children's park inside the facility) Transportation: When you go by car, it is mostly really comfortable and there is only 2 km's of dirt road, which is not a problem to drive through. The place is close to many small towns by being in the center of the Chianti region. Facility: The room that we stayed had a really wonderful view and was very large. The furniture was vintage -which we really liked the style-. Bed was comfortable. The breakfast is included and was rich, additionally you can choose to book a dinner and the food&wine was really good in the restaurant as well. You can have drinks&snacks during the day from the bar if you are staying inside the facility and chilling. Staff: The place is run by a very wonderful couple, who were always helpful and friendly. We enjoyed all the chats we had with them and they helped us a lot on the places that we can see around. I guess this is one of the most important things that brings a character to any place that we stayed before.

Not a particular thing that comes to my mind.

It is an abandoned church at a middle of a national park, San Michelle. The owners, Danielle and Alice, have reconstructed it to serve as an Albergo. It has a restaurant for breakfasts for the guests at the morning, and a operating restaurant at the evening and they are glad to help with every question that may arise. They hosted us with whole of their heart and we are thankful for that! The room was extremely nice, clean and comfortable. They have a stunning view to the woods, and a terrace for the guests. Just note that it is remote, and there is a bit of dirt road arriving there from Greve.

NOTHING.

The beautiful hotel is in a huge natural forest with lots of hiking trails. It is high above Greve in Chianti, with loads of wildflowers, hazelnut trees, oak trees, and lots of animal life. The park offers picnic tables and views. Daniele and Alice bend over backwards to make you feel like part of the family, and Alice’s cooking is amazing! Daniele is a great server and host. This place is magical!

The apartment was spacious and tastefully decorated, kitchen well equipped. In good weather the location might have been spectacular.

Quite isolated and limited options for activities in bad weather. Lack of cosy and welcoming common areas indoors to enjoy with the family. Didn’t feel child/youth friendly, more geared towards couples.

Villa San Michele was a fantastic experience. You get there by gravel road which can only be considered as as breathtaking as views are great especially if you take dirty road from Rada di Chiante. Do not worry, every car will make it! Rooms are superb clean and decorated with taste. We were lucky to get an upgraded room with sun set view! Alice and Daniel are serving very tasty and unique cuisine, one you cannot experience on one of street restaurants. Two fire places, food, wine and great views will make your dinner unforgettable. If we will ever be back to Tuscany this will be our stay. Thank You Alcie and Daniel.!

The hosts were so friendly and helpful, they had lots of gluten free options for dinner and breakfast and even took care of my bike that had gotten muddy on the way. The locations is very beautiful, quiet and peaceful. Will stay longer next time!

I loved everything , the owners are very nice, helpful and really care about your well being during your stay. The location is beautiful, peace and calm. The food is really good and having the restaurant in the hotel is perfect for dinner.

There is nothing I didn’t like. (Just I really should read better the indication to find my way ;) )

Great place, relaxed environment and spectacular surroundings. Restaurant was excellent! We’ll be back!

Very nice environment and very warm welcome. We felt like home immediatly. Even waiting for our friends who arrived late in the evening was not a problem. Also early breakfast on our departure day was arranged without hesitation. The place is a bit outside of the next town, which provides easy access to nature and energetic places.
