Hotels met sauna in Chianti

"The staff was friendly and everything was clean, but the accommodation didn’t feel fresh to me. The interior looked dated and at times a bit kitschy. Our bathroom had no ventilation, and the sealant showed black stains, which gave an unhygienic impression. The use of fabric furniture and carpets made the place feel less fresh and luxurious. The welcome was underwhelming: you have to carry your luggage up a steep gravel path yourself, with no assistance from staff, which didn’t feel very hospitable. I also missed a personal touch; the hotel is quite large, which leaves little room for genuine contact or a warm atmosphere. On a positive note, the location is truly beautiful and peaceful. The food was also good. This place has great potential, but in my opinion, it’s in real need of renovation. With a thorough update, it could truly become a top-tier stay. "
