Podere Spedalone

We had a super stay here. It’s rustic and isolated. We stayed only one night and enjoyed the dinner with other guests on a big long table which was fun. We chose the T bone steak for two and was pleased that it arrived on a sizzling platter so my daughter could have hers rare, mine could cook for a little longer. Our twin room was adequate and basic. The host could have been more cheerful but it didn’t spoil our stay, the other staff were lovely. Absolutely delicious breakfast.

We absolutely loved our stay here! What a welcoming and communal environment! Do not miss the dinner here with apertivo and the pasta making class! The staff were all so friendly and we made friends with other guests. Great time all around! The rooms were spacious and comfortable too! Also laundry service really helped out with the whole trip! 10/10

The location is beautiful, with a charming Tuscan landscape, but unfortunately the service completely ruined the experience. We had booked in advance a lunch for four people, which clearly included two Bistecca alla Fiorentina, as stated in the confirmation. However, we were served only one. When we questioned it, the person attending us insisted that it was just one and that “there was no difference.” Even after showing that we had paid for two steaks, we were met with disregard and blatant stalling. It’s unacceptable to pay for something and not receive it — especially when someone tries to convince you that you’re wrong, despite having everything documented. It felt like a clear attempt to deceive us. A real shame, because the place has great potential. But it lacked professionalism, honesty, and respect for the customer. I do not recommend.

One of the highlights in our trip to Tuscany. Amazing place, peaceful, wonderful and outstanding views. Very very nice service and staff. Amazing experience, learned how to make 2 kinds of pasta and tradicional biscuits. We finished eating what we prepared in their lovely terrace with views over Val d’ Orcia. Would highly recommend.

I cried when we had to leave. We stayed in the Stanza Azzurra Deluxe double room. It was so quaint and comfortable. We felt like were were all alone on the property. It is a separate building from the main house. The staff are wonderful and make you feel like you're part of a big family. AND THE FOOD!!!!! OMG, we all gather together outside and have drinks and appetizers while we watch the sun set. Then we all go into the restaurant and eat at large tables (too cold at the time to eat outside). Everything was homemade and delicious. The views are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. We rented a car from Florence and drove. It's about a 2 hour drive. Beautiful scenery along the way. We were able to visit all the small towns around the villa. It's truly a beautiful place to stay.
