Castello Bonaria - Wine & SPA Resort Toscana

We stayed in this boutique hotel when on a wine tour of the area.It is out in the countryside quite remote .Unfortunately the weather was very bad while we were there so we could not benefit from all of the facilities or indeed what would have been spectacular views .We did get a glimpse.Our room was lovely ,comfortable and clean. Breakfast in the hotel was very good. We had dinner in the hotel one evening ,service was excellent as was the food. We had the vacate the dining room early as the torrential rain was pouring into it.The staff were very impressive in this situation locating us to the bar. Breakfast was served in the bar next morning ,I was early for breakfast and watched a very organised efficient staff arranging how they could serve us all. We were unlucky with the weather and it certainly wouldn't put us off staying there again

This hotel was not on the agenda but after a terrible hotel stay elsewhere, we checked out and discovered this hotel and luckily, they had one room left. The hotel looks like a mock castle from the outside and it’s slightly themed inside which is a little twee but it really didn’t matter as everything else was so perfect. The hotel was spotlessly clean throughout and our room was well proportioned with an outdoor terrace and great views. We had a lounger, deckchair and a table and chairs to enjoy the views. The bathroom was big with toiletries (it would have been nice to see more sustainable packaging) and amenities, a free safe and hairdryer. We also had water, replenished daily, and a mini bar. It was incredibly peaceful and we both slept well. The views from the pool and restaurant were amazing, and we enjoyed lovely sunsets from the outdoor seating area near the bar. The pool was the perfect temperature, very clean and had a jetted area and easy access steps. The loungers had the shades on which was very welcome in the heat we experienced. Possibly one of the best hotel pools I’ve encountered. We had a free spa circuit included in our rate which meant we could use the pool with hydromassage jets, rainfall shower, a salt room, sauna, scented showers and the ice machine. It was a great way to spend our last early evening before dinner and a well equipped hotel spa. The food was delicious although the menu is limited for vegetarians. However, the chef was more than happy to speak with us and come up with some tasty dishes for us which was so kind. Even on the last night when we booked a table late, the team went above and beyond to seat us outside. The cocktails here were great and the staff, Gianluca, Martina and Stefano were so kind to us and gave a great service. The views from the restaurant were stunning. Located just a 15 minute drive from the beautiful Baratti beach, it’s not that far at all to enjoy a day out by the sea but the hotel also provides a relaxing base. We had to leave early for a flight and Martina and Stefano put together a breakfast box for us with a lovely note inside which we read when we got to the airport. We were only there two days and we felt so welcomed and were sad to leave this very special team behind! Overall, beautiful views, exceptionally clean, great food and service. It’s such good value here when you compare what there is nearby and I would definitely stay again and recommend it to family, friends and customers.

This is a very nice place. Peaceful, elegant without being pretentious. The swimming pool and the facility around it are spectacular. The personnel is very nice and well trained. The breakfast many might deserve some improvement. I really enjoy it
