I was there with my family and we all loved it! Giovanni and her husband are so sweet and friendly, we loved their food. She also help us book a visit and vine tasting at Cesani vineyard. The rooms are beautiful and cosy and the view over Chianti district is stunning. We also bought their own Oliveoil and Saffron, it... More

Views over the Tuscan hills around San Gimingano and the pool make this place excellent value. We initially found the room a bit dark (note: not all of them have air-con, though we were there in early July and the ceiling fan was sufficient), though Carmella was kind enough to switch our room after one night. The hosts were so... More

We just came back from a week's stay in Il Castagnolino. It was hard to leave such a wonderful place. Marcela and Ivan are very kind hosts and did everything possible to make our stay agreeable. We immediately felt at home. The agriturismo is very restful (the noise is mostly from crickets and bees). The views are beautiful and the... More

We stayed at Castagnolino for 3 nights and absolutely loved it (80e per night for 2persons)! It already starts when you enter the place through a prestigeous gate and you slowly drive down to the agriturosmo between the high Toscan 'cipresses'. It is located just outside san gimignano (5 minute drive) on a hill so you have a wonderful view... More

This is a nice agriturismo, with kind people who make you feel welcome. Rooms are simple and clean. It's only a short distance to the centre of San Gimignano (but you need to go there by car). You have a very nice view. There's a possibility to have dinner at the agriturismo, which we would like to recommend. We enjoyed... More

In October, nine Americans spent four wonderful days here. We ate every dinner with not one complaint. We have never seen two people work harder and with the utmost of care, Carmela and Ivan were true host. This is a true Tuscan experience, not to be confused with some movie form of it. I would not select Castagnolia if you... More

This is an excellent agriturismo provided you appreciate that you will not be staying at a hotel. Very pleasant friendly and helpful couple who run it. I t could do with some tidying up of the grounds with a lick of paint. The meal was excellent and the wine good value. Comfortable basic room but beware no soap provided and... More

We spent 2 very relaxing days here out of a hectic 10 day Italy tour. This was the highlight of our trip. Very warm and friendly hosts. The dinner and breakfast was out of this world! Dinner was an authentic Tuscan 4 course meal and breakfast included a number of home made and home grown stuff like bell pepper and... More

Very friendly couple runs this lovely Agriturismo. To enjoy the food, that is very rich in fantasy and flavour, is simply divine and so are the landscape and surrounding garden. Tranquility and lovely view over the Tuscany landscape.
