Travellers Reviews

Directions were very good except you have to be patient. Italian drivers own the road and will let you know it every chance then can get. My suggestions is that when you can pull (only 2-lanes on the mountain rds.)over to the side to let them pass then do so. After all, it is their country
...
My wife and I just returned from Tuscany and had a memorable stay at Villa Sant'Uberto. The room was spotless and beds were made on a daily basis. The bathroom was large and clean. For those who love their showers (me), you won't find better than this. We had a wonderful balcony view of the Tuscan hills...simply breathtaking. It is close to the towns of Castellina, Radda and Greve all of whom have wonderful restaurants and history. The owners are wonderful people who bend over backwards to make your stay a memorable experience. We are from New York and naturally, tend to be very demanding. So believe me when I say, if you want piece and quiet and a chance to stretch your arms out without hitting a wall or someone else then...this is the place! We would absolutely visit again.

The owners could not have been more helpful. They recommended restaurants that we could go to in the evening. Explicit directions on how to get to various towns and even some suggestions of their own on the many vineyards in the area. A very pleasant experience. Bravo!
...
A picture tells a thousand words. But not in this case. You just have to be there. Hey, we are going back in 2-years. I guess that says it all.

We had a lovely suite with a spectacular view of the Tuscan hillside.
...
We loved it, and the location was so ideal. right in the heart of the Chianti Region, perfect for day trips.
...
We stayed at a beautiful, secluded Country Inn with breathtaking views of the Tuscan hillside and sunsets. The people that owned the Inn where so accomodating and put out a lovely Italian breakfast everyday. The decorating was very tasteful and our suite was perfect. We were in the perfect location for day trips to Pisa, Siena and Firenze. We would definitely stay there again and recommend it to our friends.

A very quite and charming villa located on a
hill top overlooking vast Chianti vineyards.
Together with a nice private park, a quite
large swimming pool and the discreet
presence of Giovanni (the owner) always
ready to help with any problem it makes a
perfect place to relax and write your next

Could not fault this place but would have appreciated the option of evening meal at the property. This would have been easier than having to drive out each evening...just a small point!
...
A lovely property in a gorgeous setting with fantastic views. Very quiet and peaceful. A 'get away from it all place', but within easy travelling distance of local towns. Friendly helpful proprietors, very professional.

Checking in/out was a breeze.
...
When staying @ this location, renting a car (best if in advance) is a must. We waited until we arrived in Siena to rent a car, however, it was Sunday when we arrived & the car rental agencies were closed and therefore, we had to take a taxi which costed about 45 Euros. Once we rented a car the following day, everything was perfect.
...
The villa was beautiful in every way & very private, the owners were wonderful & the location was breathtaking. We had such a relaxing time, felt very at home & hated to leave. We wished we could have been there during the summer to enjoy the pool, the views & the decks. The villa was in a remote location, wonderful for hiding away & relaxing. Radda & Castellina were only a few minutes away & Restorante La Cantonie (just down the road) was fabulous. I would absolutely recommend this B&B to a friend.

Directions could be much more detailed. For example, at the exit from the A1 autostrada at Valdarno there were no signs indicating the N408 road, which the directions indicated we should take. We made a number of wrong turns before finding the correct way. Once we found the correct initial road, we had no trouble with the rest of the journey.
...
We loved the peaceful location and amenities of the inn. And the staff was extremely helpful.
...
No problems at all.
...
It is situated in a lovely isolated location that is, nevertheless, near a number of fine Tuscan sites. Of special significance is a very good convenient restaurant (Ristorante La Cantoniera), which is about three minutes from the inn. The chef is very innovative, the garden dining delightful, and the prices moderate.
...
Lovely, quiet, in a beautiful centrally located Tuscan setting.

The owner was very helpful and wanted to make our stay as pleasent as possible. He also agreed to provide breakfast even though we were in a self catering apartment, which was very pleasent for us.
...
We were a little surprised that an apartment which slept 4 didn't have a bath, but only a shower. My wife much prefers baths and may have had second thoughts if she knew this.
...
Should say about the lack of bath.
...
Very quiet, peaceful and tranquil location deap in the heart of the Chianti hills.

On our arrival, the voucher had stated that we were a party of 2 adults and one child.
There was no extra bed set up for our 3 year old child.
If we had to set it up, there would have been a extra charge added to our bill.
The voucher stated 2 adults and 1 child.
...
A luxurious B&B have way between 2 very addorible towns. Lots of room to wander around and explore. Let the pool warm up with the sun or you just may want to lay around in the sun. Good food set out for breakfast on the balcony, enjoyed the non-rushed mornings...nothing for children in the close vicinity(playground-swings-slides)
Overall, glad we stayed there.
2 adults-1 three year old child.

Did you mention that there was no food to be eaten in the room / no fridge?

A beautiful villa in its own grounds, the room was spacious with a lovely view. Car parking on site was secure and the Villa was approximately 10 minutes drive away from the charming Castellina in Chianti. Restaurant recommendations from the reception were excellent. I would recommend friends and family this accommodation.

A very pleasant arrival. Giovanni was very welcoming and immediately made us feel comfortable and at home at Villa Sant'Uberto.
...
Our stay at Villa Sant'Uberto exceeded all expectations. Our suite was extremely spacious, beautiful, and sparkling clean--creating a feeling of ancient Tuscany while at the same time supplying all the modern conveniences. The staff was gracious and efficient, and Giovanni was an excellent host--charming and very helpful at all times. The lovely hilltop grounds were even more extensive than we'd realized, and we were surprised and delighted by the quietness, the pine-scented air, and the endless green vistas in all directions.
...
Very smooth, friendly and efficient.
...
Your website is excellent & informative, but feel free to use any of my remarks. One thing that so distinguishes this villa is the absolute feeling of peace & quiet, the birdsongs, and the fragrant mountain air.
...
Villa Sant'Uberto is a peaceful hilltop haven in the heart of Chianti. It offers endless panoramic views across green vineyards, orchards and woodlands. In the morning you are awakened by birdsongs and offered a nice variety of fresh breakfast items on the sunny stone terrace or in the lovely dining rooms. At night from the terrace you can see a thousand stars in the velvety dark sky and the twinkling lights of little villages. Giovanni, the charming multilingual host, provides helpful and professional attention to his guests' needs. Villa Sant'Uberto is one of the finest inns I've ever visited.

Giovanni was great and very helpful. He recommended the best pizza restaurant in Radda as we arrived late at night.

The only thing not on the website was the spectacular views from the backyard of the villa. The Villa itself was very nice, nicely painted, wonderful breakfast,great towel warmer, hot shower with lots of pressure and the best bed we slept in while in Tuscany! We hope to go back sometime and enjoy the swimming pool in the summer!
Our only regreat was only being able to spend one night there - it was not enough!!!
It was great, as were your other properties we stayed in.

Include a picture of the view from the terrace overlooking the pool and valley - it's spectacular

I would highly recommend staying there - Giovanni was great and very helpful. The rooms were clean and spacious. There was a full continental breakfast with choices for everyone, including fresh fruit. The bed and pillows were very comfortable! We wish we stayed there more than one night.

Our host, Giovanni, was very welcoming and helpful, and the atmosphere of the inn was romantic and quiet, while being very conveniently situated for excursions in Chianti. The value received for the price was exceptional. The only additional thing I could have asked for was a few hard-boiled eggs on the breakfast buffet!
...
I would describe it as the distillation of the Tuscan experience--the gorgeous views from the terraces, and the quality furnishings, and feeling of a well-loved family home made me imagine that I were living in Chianti, if only for a few days.

The only negative about Villa Sant'Uberto was that we were on the first floor and the sounds from the room upstairs over us were very loud as far as the plumbing. Every time someone flushed a commode it sounded as if it would run down on us. The same for the shower. Other than that, our room was wonderful and so was the large bathroom. We enjoyed our visit very much!
...
A wonderful experience with the true feeling of an Italian Villa, very convenient for visiting the Hill Towns of Tuscany. Alberto was very helpful with getting us a train schedule to Florence since we did not want to drive there even though we had a car. It had the conveniences of a hotel but the perfect atmosphere of a Villa type B&B which is exactly what we wanted.

A very enjoyable stay here.The view is good overlooking the rolling hillside.Our room was spotless,large,very nice bathroom kitchen.Tables outdoors for picnic.The breakfast inside is lovely.The furnishings are exceptional but you can eat on the veranda to enjoy the views.Breakfast is at 8;30 which was a little late for us.
...
It is a gated property. You can come and go as you please with the proper code to get through the gate. A very quiet and beautiful setting.
...
Considering that we got all kitchen facilites and a very large room with nice shower it was worth it.The staff was waiting to let us out of the gate just as soon as we checked out.
...
Unless you bring your own food you will need to drive back to Radda or Castelini for dinner in the evenings. Restaurants in the village do not begin serving until 8PM or perhaps 7:45 PM at the earliest. So if we often stopped for a picnic dinner and at Uberto we sat outdoors and watched the sun set. We prefered this to driving back in the darkness on the curvey roads
...
'out in the country'. A villa atmosphere. Nice view of the valley and little villages sparkling in the distance when the sun went down. Lovely breakfast room.

Villa Sant'Uberto is clean, quiet and

away. The views along the roadside is
perfect for snapping pictures of the lovely
farmhouses, vineyards and olive groves in
this area. Very nice.
