Spent two nights here as part of a cycling holiday, to be honest was really looking forward to the food (as it had been built up by our travel company) but it was pretty average and on the first night despite long waits between courses, the next course arrived each time with all our previous course plates still on the... more

We don't have anything to compare the Le Renaie to in the Tuscan countryside. We stayed in some very nice hotels in Santa Margherita Ligure and Florence, but this was a different experience. On one hand, it is very clean and does give you the sense that you are staying in a farm house in the country -- part of... more

This was our first visit to Tuscany and we had a great time. The hotel was lovely and scored highly in all aspects. Small and fairly quiet there was a good mix of guests. Our room was good with a balcony. Breakfast was ok but would have preferred some real coffee and fruit juice (instead of out of a machine).... more

We have just returned from spending 2 weeks in Italy incl 5 nights at Le Renaie. A great base for visiting Volterra, San Gimi, Sienna , the Chianti area and the shopping outlet near Florence called 'The Mall'... Le Renaie is a very relaxing place, in a quiet village. Food was good and the staff were very discreet. Nice pool... more

Fantastic friendly place with an excellent restaurant in an even better location. For a sub-£1000 stay for 10 nights (even with the current Euro exchange rate) then you WILL NOT find better in this part of Tuscany. I have paid much more for a lot less in Italy. The rooms are reasonably large with a nice bathroom (large shower cubicle... more

We went to San Gimignano with the high euro ringing in our ears. However this hotel provided a clean, large well appointed room and having booked half board, an outstanding restaurant. We loved the lamb and the beef, and despite mediocre weather, loved this hotel. We didn't book a balcony room which in better weather we may have regretted, but... more

We two - both gay men - very much enjoyed our 5 day stay here last June. The hotel was impeccably clean, the garden was meticulously tended, and the breakfast offerings were generous and satisfying. We are always treated very well by the friendly staff. The clientele were mostly older than we (early 40s) were, but there were obviously those... more

Have stayed at this place several times with groups. Every time, the staff bent over backwards to help us out and even treated our students extremely well (very unusual in Italian hotels!!) The owner, Leone or Leonetto, I think, is a real sweetheart; I had to take a student to the hospital once in the middle of dinner, and weren't... more

Beautiful and relaxing location five mins by car from San Gimignano and convenient for Florence and Siena. Our room was large, clean and comfortable but not luxurious. A major reason for staying here was because of the reviews of great food so we were a bit disappointed by our first meal which was good but not fabulous, however the other... more
