Argiano Dimore Wine Relais

We arrived well courtesy of the helpful directions (via what’s app, a good way to communicate when in the move) to a very beautiful villa and adjacent set of buildings and gardens, not to forget the lovely vineyard surroundings in this special part of Tuscany. The accommodation consists of three cases each with varying numbers of bedrooms, ours being Orto, with two beds each with ensuites. Very warm welcome from Marta and all the team here very pleasant. There is a lot of visitation to the property with wine tastings etc. but the hotel accommodation is quiet and separate. It is not a full service hotel, but rather a place where you can live as if in your own apartment, which suited us and our friends. We made good use of the reasonably equipped kitchen and living areas, although better access to an outdoor area would have been appreciated - it appears that the other two cases, Casale and a larger one, do have outdoor access, but one has four bedrooms and the other five, so really for larger groups. The gardens re spectacular and the pool area enjoys a lovely view too. Breakfast is good, in a wonderful room, and dinner in the same room, Ara Jani, is exceptional… the chef Elena Monti, is very gifted and presented a lovely set of options ( a fixed menu) each night. Sadly we couldn’t do justice to it along with daily lunchtime expeditions… All in all a lovely stay and well recommended

Wow, what a place. This is quite simply the most beautiful place we have ever stayed and I can’t wait to go back. The location is idyllic and all you can hear when relaxing are the sounds of birds chirping in the distance. It’s close enough to Montalcino to have a little run in to town when you fancy going somewhere a little busier. All of the staff are wonderful and I can’t thank them enough for looking after us for our 4 nights. We did a wine tasting and the food menu that accompanied it was possibly the best meal I’ve had and certainly the best I had whilst in Italy. Rooms were immaculate and it felt so special to stay in the restored buildings. The attention to detail was second to none. I’d just like to say a huge thank you to everyone at Argiano for making our stay so perfect. We can’t wait to see you again soon. Phil & Jodie xx

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.

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.
