  Return to La Tenuta

  We decided to risk returning to La Tenuta after a visit for my 50th in 2015. They say " you should never go back" but we were so glad we did. Still as absolutely stunning as ever - Marco was hospitality personified. The weather was fabulous and we barely ventured away from the pool. The food was still very good but we did wonder if a new chef was in place as it possibly didn't quite reach the heights of 2015. Certainly will not dissuade us from another return as soon as possible.

  Exceptional hotel and restaurant

  We stayed at La Tenuta del Gallo this past July and were warmly greeted by Tamara. Our family of four stayed in the cottage near the infinity pool; it had two well appointed, comfortable, air conditioned, large bedrooms and bathrooms; perfect for my husband and I and our teenage daughters. The pool was amazing, the view spectacular and the interiors of the main "castle" and cottage all elaborate and thoughtfully appointed. We are disappointed we only had the one night as it would have made an excellent "home base" where we could have explored the countryside and then recuperated in comfort. The dinner we had was one of the best meals in Italy and the cherry sorbet the most memorable dessert of our entire trip. As an aside, we left an item behind and the Owner (Marco) was so helpful in seeing its safe return to us.

  Charming experience

  We have bee n here many times and always plan for a new stay. The country setting is peaceful and green, roses and flowers all around. Each room is different from the others, antique furniture, elegant tapestry and fully equipped bathroom. The restaurant has an incredible cave with a wide wine selection, the food is always a nice surprise mixing Italian tradition with creative options. You have to come!

  An unforseen evening

  We arrived in this Relais for dinner because it had been suggested by a friend of us who works not so far (15km).The hosts, a sweet couple from Rome, were amazing, friendly and professional!The location was simply speechless: well-finished in the forniture and nothing but breathtaking for the sight of the sourranding valley.But let's talk about the food;probably it would be already enough, if I said that our youngest kid (an 8 yrs old man) after the first appetizer said: daddy this carrot sauce is terrific, definitely the best sauce that I have ever eaten!But I think that these two kind hosts snd their cook deserve more...they brough him a main dish (ravioli with bologna and pistachio) which was incredible, and in the meantime I was delighted by a superb pork cooked at low temperature and servedwith a Digione's mustard in wheats, not so easy to find in Italy, while my wife's taste buds were surprised by a perfect raw fillet, blood rare, served with black truffle cut to flakes there at the moment.Even the desserts surprised us, especially the cream brulé with licorice ice cream.At the end the owners offered us spirits and coffees and they started to chat with us for a while.....a perfect example of great host: obviously they could increase their quality, everyone can, but I can honest say that they havedone a great job so far! The next time that we will pass around this surprising area with my wife, I will stop by the Relais with her so as to enjoy also the experience of the rooms, the infinity pool and the beautiful plants in ted garden (roses, olive trees, etc.) ....the hosts deserve nothing less...and the guests as well !

  Terrible stay

  Our stay was the biggest letdown of our honeymoon trip. The place was advertised as small and familiy oriented. However we were met with no hospitality and an owner who gave is a quick 30 second rundown of the room and then left us. He never had time for us and gave the impression that his guests were not important. It was purely commercially oriented. All the owner thinks about is money and how he could profit. Not just from his guests. While we were there he hosted a party for 60 people (not guests) and didnt bother to tell us. Wat we thought was a quiet small place was anything but. He placed two tables at the swimming pool for guests so that they wouldnt enter the restaurant. Whenever we wanted to ask something he said "not now " and walked off. The party lasted till late at night and guests were not looked after and owner didnt care. We didnt sleep because of noise and how unwelcome we felt. We decided we wanted to leave after two nights, but he refused to amend the booking. He said "no, i dont want to lose money". We even offered to pay an extra night, he refused. We felt like a prisoner and my wife got very emotional by our treatment. We ended up having to pay for 3 extra nights just to be allowed to leave. He didnt look at us or said sorry that your stay was not up to your wishes. We left there with sadness and a bitter aftertaste. I just hope people wont go there and have the same experience.
