Argiano Dimore

Wow, what a place. This is quite simply the most beautiful place we have ever stayed and I can’t wait to go back. The location is idyllic and all you can hear when relaxing are the sounds of birds chirping in the distance. It’s close enough to Montalcino to have a little run in to town when you fancy going somewhere a little busier. All of the staff are wonderful and I can’t thank them enough for looking after us for our 4 nights. We did a wine tasting and the food menu that accompanied it was possibly the best meal I’ve had and certainly the best I had whilst in Italy. Rooms were immaculate and it felt so special to stay in the restored buildings. The attention to detail was second to none. I’d just like to say a huge thank you to everyone at Argiano for making our stay so perfect. We can’t wait to see you again soon. Phil & Jodie xx

We stayed at Argiano Dimore for 3 days and were looking forward to it as the highlight of our Tuscany trip. The advertised pictures looked incredible. However unfortunately we were left disappointed by what the accommodation offers in reality. Expecting to be able to enjoy a pool as advertised on their website and with 25 degrees Celsius outside, we were told the pool is a „seasonal pool“ and not currently open. The rooms are nice, but else the hotel does not offer much. Not even a glass of wine as a welcome (which one would think an easy thing to offer for a vinery of this caliber), nor a complimentary bottle of water in the room, or any of those small gestures that make one feel welcome as a guest. The breakfast is standard, but again nothing special, for the room prices one would certainly expect much more (and we did have amazing high quality breakfasts in other accommodations in Tuscany, most with a lower price tag than Argiano Dimore). The tour of the winery / wine cellar comes with another hefty price tag, even for guests. One is not made to feel very welcome by the staff either - the feeling we got was that this is an elite winery and that we should be happy to be here. When providing the feedback on checkout and hoping for a small refund as we were not able to use the pool facilities, we were left high and dry. Again an easy thing (we find) for a hotel to do, even if it is just a small refund / gesture. So in summary: not worth it in our eyes for just a nice room!

Semplicemente vergognoso! Splendida struttura tanto da meritare le 3 stelle date in valutazione. Per il resto, zero! Aldilà della cortesia che non è mai venuta meno, non si può soggiornare in un posto del genere ed offrire in camera una bottiglia di acqua. Sarebbe stato carino ricevere gli ospiti almeno con un calice! Riscontrare una differenza tariffaria tra i vari componenti del gruppo, utilizzando lo stesso sito, peraltro quello della struttura,con la differenza del mezzo, online o via telefono, certamente non fa onore alla struttura. E non provare neanche a rimediare all'atto del check out è stato veramente sconveniente! Proverei inoltre a migliorare la cena che, onestamente ,non valeva economicamente quanto richiesto. Insomma location meravigliosa ma tutto il resto da migliorare!

Si vous voulez avoir une carte postale du Val d’Orcia à 360 degrés, n’hésitez plus vous êtes où il faut être. Bien entendu on est ici au milieu des vignes pas sur un piton rocheux mais Montalcino est à un quart d’heure en voiture. Se promener sur le domaine et passer du temps à ne rien faire (le farniente est un concept adapté à l’endroit) à la piscine doit être inscrit à votre agenda. Vous pourrez déguster sous une superbe tonnelle une salade et un Brunello en contemplant la vallée. Ne passez pas à côté de la visite de la cave avec le directeur général avant de partir car c’est un musée ! Outre les vins de Montalcino, une collection de Bordeaux hallucinante vous fera rêver si vous vous intéressez au vin. Maintenant quelques points négatifs à souligner : 1- les chambres au rez-de-chaussée sont sombres, en été ça passe, à une période moins lumineuse c’est très juste 2- un seul fauteuil pour 2, dommage, à 450€ la chambre on aurait apprécié d’en avoir un chacun 3- l’insonorisation avec la chambre du dessus est vraiment un souci si vous avez des « éléphants » comme voisins, réveil aux aurores garanti (6h pour notre cas) 4- si vous consommez demandez le prix des verres de vin, il n’y a aucune carte, vous demandez ce que vous voulez. Résultat : un « dé à coudre » à 21€ m’est resté au travers de la gorge 5- le petit déjeuner est bien sans être du niveau de la prestation attendue. Bonne charcuterie mais 2 jours sans fromage, sur 6 jours c’est beaucoup En conclusion, un endroit où il fait bon passer du temps à profiter de l’endroit et des environs mais attention aux petits détails qui font souvent la différence entre un grand établissement et un plus « prétendant »
