  What an absolute gem in the rural Tuscan countryside. Conti was like no other hotel we have ever stayed at - the beauty of the House, Pool, Gardens and location... read more are truly exceptional. The food and chef were fantastic offering food all localy sourced and the wine was fantastic. We couldn't speak more highly of the service received with staff always attentive but respectful of privacy of the guests allowing for a proper R&R break, away from the hustle and bustle of life.

  We searched and found Conti as we wanted to get married in Tuscany, we were so lucky to find them, from start to finish they everything very easy going and... read more stress free, with a special mention to Giorgio, Andrea, Maria and the team at Conti di San Bonifacio, the best venue we could have hoped for, Giorgio kept us informed each step of the way with what we needed to do but to be fair, he helped make the whole process very smooth.

Our visit in February to sign paperwork and experience a short stay soon confirmed to us the it was without doubt the perfect venue for us.

Our Wedding Day on the 3rd of April was a truly magical day, with everyone who was with us were amazed by the whole Conti experience and we can’t wait to return for our 1st anniversary

  I would like to say that it is a truly magical place. Thank you to Maria for helping me to organize everything. The highlight of the trip was a wine... read more tasting tour led by Julia - she definitely knows more about the wines then I know about myself haha a true professional. I learnt so much ( considering I have been to a few tastings before around the world) that now when I have to choose Italian wine and taste it I actually look like I know what I m doing because guess what? I do. And just to add - her personal attitude and conversation and engagement - never met anyone more professional and keen on transfer knowledge and make friends.

Thank you and I can’t wait to see you all again. Highly recommended. More

  This is just a wonderful hotel - everything about it is great. The property is amazing (good for lengthy morning and evening walks if you are up for it... read more and their vineyards surround you). Rooms are spacious and well decorated. Food and their wines are fabulous. Staff were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Andrea has everything under perfect control and takes the time to chat to her guests, give expert advice on wines and makes everyone feel comfortable. There are lots of places to sit and relax - both inside and outside (great spot for Tuscany in winter too!) and for us, a big bonus, they are wonderfully pet friendly. This hotel is chic and modern whilst at the same time it feels like a family gathering. We had the most wonderful stay and will certainly return. Oh and the massages are incredible. Christina is magic! It was one of the best massages I have ever had. Lots of attention to safety (ref health) and so we felt very comfortable being there. This is a hotel you can seriously enjoy throughout the year. More

  One of the most peaceful places I've ever stayed at. Get a vineyard suite if you can. Breakfast on your patio overlooking the vineyard is a memory you'll... read more never forget. Can't say enough great things about this place.

  Amazing stay at the resort. It was beautiful and all staff were really attentive! Highly recommend and would definitely go back. Oscar and Basit were our waiters throughout the evening... read more and always making us laugh. Andrea the receptionist was also brilliant!

  We've stayed as Conti di San Bonifacio for the second time and we loved our stay again, the wineyard is just stunning and beautiful. Staff was friendly same as last... read more time, although it seamed that the hotel was a bit low on staff this time (server at breakfast had to prepare the hot food in the kitchen as well, wherefore the service was terribly slow - not that we were in a hurry but we were ultimately sitting there for 2.5 hours). We've got a free upgrade this time which we very much appreciated. The room was again lovely decorated, had a breathtaking view and was clean. Food was good but not as outstanding as last time. The menu seemed to be smaller and to us it was less appealing, guess because it was not high season (last year in summer I recall every day had a special menu of the day, this only a fixed menu was available). We also asked for the wine pairing dinner - as that was a great experiance last time - but somehow it got forgotten. More

  Beautiful location with view of tuscan hillside. Peaceful stay. Overpriced and understaffed although staff did their best to cover all guests needs. Wifi barely working outside of the room and... read more not enough marketing and focus on the vineyard and cantina at all. We did not buy wine at this vineyard. Target market is weddings and not tourism.

  We‘ve spent three nights here and it was awesome. Exactly how you picture it.
Very nice rooms, beautiful estate, lovely pool area and georgeous dinning area outside in the... read more grass and with the beautiful sunset.
Breakfast has plenty of choices, all fresh and many things home-made. Dinner the same, very delicious, every day a different daily special with as much as possible from their own garden. One night we tried their wine pairing dinner to try their wines.
Service is outstanding in any regard.
Got offered a free upgrade to the master suite for one night.
Wifi could be better though.
We enjoyed and loved our stay very much!

  My partner and I stayed at Conti di San Bonifacio Wine Resort for one night to discover a new part of Tuscany, and overall, I felt it was a great hotel... read more in a very special place surrounded by vineyards.

We went in the off-season, and were able to snag a relatively cheap room through the Small Luxury Hotels of the World association. The package we bought came with an upgrade and we were given one of the two vineyard-facing suites. I think that is their top level, and it is obvious.

The room has amazing view over their vineyards when you were tucked away from everyone else so there was privacy. The room is very tastefully designed and the bathroom is huge. They also have very nice toiletries that I wasn’t familiar with before.

The scenery and the idea of staying in the vineyard is great. Vines go as far as the eye can see. It’s a bit of a trek to find this hotel, but it’s worth it.

The restaurant located in the hotel is delectable, and has a lot of their own wines as well as a very good wine list of other Italian options.
We also arranged a wine tasting on the deck near the restaurant and it was great! Great surroundings. More

  Travelers, please beware.

Conti di San Bonifacio does a great job in marketing and creating the allure of a beautiful, hillside winery and retreat in Tuscany; the grounds look... read more beautiful.

However, in reaching out to their team to cancel our honeymoon, sadly, due to COVID-19 and travel restrictions and health risks, their response was:

"Regarding your deposit, as you know we are unable to make refunds as per our Hotel policy."

I can see if we were still coming to Italy... wanted to stay somewhere else, and gave them little notice. However, I shared that we would love to book at a later date, but that we would like to fully cancel and start fresh when the world has calmed down.

The Deputy Manager on staff has doubled down on "hotel policy," ignoring the force majeure (unforeseeable circumstances that prevent someone from fulfilling a contract) that will preclude us from going to Italy in the foreseeable future (from Hawaii, mind you, 8,000 miles away).

The other three hotels we booked - in Bellagio, Cinque Terre, and Florence - all got back to us with full refunds and messages that essentially say, "sorry to hear, we get it, can't wait for you to rebook with us." Conti di San Bonifacio got back to us and essentially shared that our deposit was more important to them than our experience, contract or no contract, honeymoon or no honeymoon. This is a poor display from a hospitality organization that claims superior, world class service and experience.

I am sure people can go and stay at Conti di San Bonifacio and have a great time; I am sure the grounds are beautiful, the suites luxurious, the food wonderful, and the wine amazing. However, what they still need help understanding is that the customer experience must always come first - that is where their reputation, credibility, and integrity will be earned. And that 700 Euro up front would have been 3500 Euro this summer or fall, if only the customer and the customer experience was first.

Holding deposits during a global pandemic, and referring to your hotel policy, is a trite, short-term business strategy that puts the core values and ethos of Conti di San Bonifacio on display. It is my hope that they can evolve from their near-sightedness and evaluate whether or not they are truly world class.

  We went here for our Honeymoon, it is the most beautiful perfect place I have ever stayed. The location is breath taking and the hotel and rooms are amazing.... read more We had a free upgrade which was such a nice touch, overlooking the vineyards with a glass of red reading a book was just wonderful. The food is fabulous and the wine equally as good. Would highly recommend this place, our favourite spot in Italy.

  Cannot begin to tell you how gorgeous and peaceful this property is.
Located on a tiny hilltop with unmatched scenery you can contemplate from every corner of the hotel
Very... read more few rooms, all unique and decorated with great taste
The service is impeccable from check in to check out, the food is delicious and the wine selection hits every spot.

Small, traditional and elegant..
To me, this hotel is the definition of luxury.. and yet, its definitely not the most expensive in the area.

  This was our first stop on our Italian getaway, and it completely spoiled us for the rest of our trip! No matter, this hotel is a truly magical little spot... read more hidden away in the Tuscan countryside and it charmed us from the moment we drove up until we were reluctantly dragged away to our next stop. We splurged on the Master Suite, and were so glad we did. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated and clean. The bathroom was huge, with an incredible bathtub and rain shower and two vanities. But the main attraction is the expansive private rooftop terrace with the most breathtaking views of the vineyards and countryside...we could've sat there for days to just take in the fresh, crisp air and look out over the land in awe! The rest of the hotel building is cozy and absolutely lovely. We loved that the decor felt authentically Tuscan and yet still modern - for me, the decor of a hotel property is a big part of the overall experience and this was truly a treat here. Most of our meals were enjoyed on-property, and the food was excellent. They were also very accommodating for me with my Celiac Disease - I had plenty of gluten free options to choose from. And of course, the wines are incredible. One night, the concierge made arrangements for us to go into Masa Marittima for dinner and we had a wonderful evening...

If you plan not to bring a car, be aware that you'll be limited on what you can do unless you don't mind paying for a taxi or a transfer to one of the neighboring towns. This was completely fine with us, as we were there to relax and enjoy the property for the most part. We rented a Vespa one afternoon and the chef packed us a beautiful (and huge!!!) picnic to take to a nearby lake. Otherwise, we just spent our time lazing about and enjoying beautiful wine and views. If the weather had been a tad warmer we would've loved taking a dip in the lovely pool. We also enjoyed a private cocktail class on site, which was great fun. Next time, we'll be sure to take advantage of one of the wine tasting experiences as well.

By and large, one of the highlights of Conti di San Bonifacio is the staff. Everyone there is so friendly and helpful, and since it's such an intimate property you really feel like you start to get to know people over your stay. They are clearly well versed in hospitality and know how to make their guests feel welcome, and it also seems that they genuinely enjoy working there (which is no surprise, given what a lovely place it is!). We hope we can return soon and that we may see some of the same kind faces from this stay!

If I had one tiny little gripe, it would be the small issue of flies and some other kind of bugs (not sure what they were, they looked like what we just call stink bugs in the South) - they tend to leave doors and windows open to enjoy the beautiful fresh air here, which is wonderful, but the bugs did get to be quite a nuisance at certain points. Of course you expect some of that in a country setting like this, to be sure. There were just a few times when we would've liked to sit outside or on the porch but there were so many flies, and they were so aggressive, that we ended up moving back inside to our room where we had screens on the windows (even with the screens, those stink-bug guys kept getting into the room quite often). I said to my husband on the last day that if we had been anywhere else, I probably would've been pretty annoyed by the bugs - admittedly I'm not a very "naturey" person - BUT, everything else was so wonderful at Conti di San Bonifacio, and I loved it there so very much, that it really felt inconsequential. It almost somehow just felt like part of the charm of the place. And it would certainly not keep us from coming back!

I would highly recommend this resort if you're looking for a true getaway in the Tuscan countryside. An absolute gem, and we can't wait to come back! More

  This is the nicest place we’ve ever stayed. The wine and food were divine and the beauty of the property and views is unmatched. Valentina provided incredible and personal service,... read more she was amazing, and so were all the other staff members we interacted with (chefs, dinner servers, wine maker, etc). The cooking class and wine tour were thorough and enjoyable. The pool was clean and relaxing, the room was incredible and quiet. Great decor and bathroom. I would come back here in a heartbeat!

  Andrea gave us the most fantastic welcome and we had two days in the best hotel ever stayed. The chef has an amazing menu of local and more varied dishes... read more and all the staff were simply sweet. We are very much looking forward to going back next year.

  we got a very nice and professional welcome. we went around the property here friends of ours had stayed . very tastefully decorated, then we had drinks on the terrace,... read more very pleasant. we will be back to stay

  Just come back from here after having had a three day wedding for my daughter. It was magical. The location is beyond words and the staff put together the most... read more amazing event possible. Helpful, friendly and accommodating for a complex event.

With rain right in the middle of the wedding they swiftly changed everything around without fuss.

Food was incredible and the rooms amazing.

For a daughter's wedding you want the day to be perfect and everyone made it so.

Thank you so much.

So much more than a wedding venue, though. Make it part of your travels through Italy.

  We stayed in Conti di San Bonifacio for 3 nights a week ago. And it was the second hotel stop on our route.

We just loved it. It's... read more a boutique hotel in every meaning. The room that we stayed in was wineyard view suit, and was amazing. It was very clean on arrival, and daily cleaning was also perfectly done.

Tere are activities each day, so if you are up to something you will find it here, or they will guide you to the nice options. The first night we arrived there was an aperativo and live music at night by the bar, which was just so beautiful.

The food is amazing. Both dinner and lunch are just super good. The cheese boards & Charcuterie Boards are just so fresh and special. Also the wine menu was very satisfying too. The wines they've suggested us were very nice as well. Breakfast is also very fresh each day. The view is just amazing too.

There is also a pool area, and its very nice if you would like to chill during the day. Our only concern was that the pool seemed to be not doing the recirculation.

Everyone working from kitchen to reception, to bar & dining area was just so friendly, helpful and kind.

Overall we enjoyed our stay a lot, and would completely reccomend the hotel, especially for couples. And we hope to come back soon.

Thanks for everything. More
