아르자노 디모레(Argiano Dimore Wine Relais)

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!

I was lucky to find a such beautiful place to stay in Tuscany the villa is beautiful spacious and very well decorated the food is top notch.

We had three nights here following a wedding in Umbria. It was breathtaking. The scenery is more than I ever expected and the peacefulness was just what we needed. You do need a car as it is in the middle of nowhere. The room that we stayed in which was a Superior Double Room was very clean and modern. The bed and linens were incredibly comfortable. The one thing I did miss in the room were the facilities to put toiletries etc as there are no shelves etc anywhere in the room or bathroom so the room ends up looking a bit of a shambles if you carry lots of toiletries, hair products etc. The swimming pool is beautiful with idylic views. There are only two places for shade however, and as these were both occupied we did not stay too long there. Also the sunbeds themselves were not comfortable, I think for the price of the hotel which is luxury better sunbeds would be supplied. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel though for a bit of luxury and relaxation and would stay there again should we be in that particular area.

This was our first time staying at a winery in Italy and we clearly chose the right one! We had an incredible experience and had a wonderful opportunity to unwind and relax. We tried two wine tastings including the paired dinner and paired lunch. Both times, the food and wine were exceptional and some of the best we ultimately had in our two week Italy trip. I'd like to highlight the exceptional and warm service we received from Marta, Gaia and Andurance (Eddie). They made us feel like the winery was our own and that we were hanging out with family and friends. I've posted some pictures on *********** that I think speak for themselves; I haven't shared the best ones as I feel you should really experience the winery with your own eyes.

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 »

Abbiamo soggiornato tre notti in questo splendido maniero. Essendo bassissima stagione eravamo solo due coppie di ospiti. Il restauro della struttura toglie il respiro: pare di essere in un castello. Le camere sono stupende, la sala della colazione raffinata ed il personale estremamente cortese e professionale. Unica mancanza: niente TV in camera e Wi-Fi poco performante, ma per staccare la spina l’ideale. Essendo il compleanno di mio marito a colazione hanno preparato una torta per lui.

Tenuta impeccabile come il personale. Ho soggiornato qui con mio marito, abbiamo fatto un weekend completo nella tenuta con colazione, visita nella fantastica cantina e pranzo e cena! Il servizio è molto raffinato, bellissima location, pulito ed immerso nel vigneto. Con una fantastica guida, gentilissimo e molto simpatico, jimmy abbiamo visitato e scoperto i vini della tenuta. Lo consiglio vivamente!
