IL Colombaio Winery & Rooms

We were 3 friends walking the Via Francigena. The walk that day was 27/30kms from San Gimignano to Monteriggioni. We had an evening meal included with our booking. The choices offered were extremely poor and hardly sustenance. I was disgusted with what was offered - oh, of course you could pay for other options! This place is only a winery and, whilst it is in a beautiful setting and the accommodation is satisfactory, it is not really a walker's resting place. Beware a transfer to the town in a messy, filthy rattling old jeep!

2-bedroom Apartment Kitchen and seating area tastefully decorated. Kitchen provided with all the necessary equipment including washing up liquid, sponge & tea towels. Microwave, hob and kettle. Main bedroom with 1 double; second bedroom 2 singles, but plenty of space everywhere. Bathroom a good size, with wall hairdryer and lots of hooks. Nice private terrace area with a shade. Outside was just a joy - terrace for eating and stunning pool area overlooking the vines. Excellent service and good menu choice with reasonably priced own wines. Lovely pool area with stunning views and well maintained beds and tables. Interesting, personal wine tour by the owner and lots of opportunities to ask questions. Nice tasting of their Chianti wines. Attention to detail is perfect and the owners are onsite but not intrusive; just welcoming and checking everything is ok.

Four of us rented a two-bedroom apartment at this working vineyard of Fattoria il Colombaio. We were awed on arrival at the sweeping vista overlooking the vineyards and the Tuscan countryside. We had a small private patio outside our apartment with a table for al fresco dining, as well as access to the large communal patio which abuts the vineyard. Our apartment was clean, comfortable, and included a kitchen stocked with plates, glassware, and cookware. We were fortunate to have a tour of winery with Marco who shared his passion for winemaking and history of his family farm. At the wine tasting, we enjoyed some of the best Chianti we had had in Tuscany. In fact we had to ship some home. The location in Monteriggioni was perfect for easy access by car to the many beautiful Tuscan towns we wanted to visit. I highly recommend a stay at the Agriturismo Il Colombaio!

We stayed only one night as part of our Camino way walking week and how we wished all our accommodation was as brilliant and relaxing as this one. We loved everything about it. The room 10 was spotlessly clean, bright, airy and comfortable with everything we needed. A terrace to relax on and we enjoyed the homemade gin and tonic before a lovely wholesome Tuscan dinner, beautifully cooked and presented. Everything about this place spells quality and clearly a lot of interior and exterior work has been done on design. The wine was delicious and we would love to have stayed much longer. Do not hesitate to book, it’s our favourite place to stay from our week in Italy,

Wir waren hier für drei Nächte. Sehr schönes Agroturismo, zwischen Weinreben und Wiesen. Zimmer super sauber. Betten gemütlich. Toller Pool und Liegen zum entspannen. Absolutes Highlight ist das Essen sowohl Frühstück als auch Abendessen. Auswahl nicht riesig aber was angeboten wird war super lecker. Den Wein dürfen wir nicht vergessen, zumal das Weingut dazugehört. Ebenfalls sehr ausgezeichnet und süffisant 😃. Was noch extra zu erwähnen ist, das ist die Freundlichkeit der Gastgeber und des Personals. Da fühlt man sich gleich pudelwohl. Sollten wir wieder eine Toskanatour planen dann ist dieser Ort ein Muss. Rundum eine Empfehlung.

Magnifique bâtisse et chambres en face de la citadelle de monteriggioni. Service très accueillant . Restauration de grande qualité a prix raisonnable . Nous y avons passé un excellent moment avec de bonnes dégustations de vin. Je recommande le tonno du chianti au restaurant .
