il Casale del Cotone & Rocca degli Olivi The il Casale del Cotone looks like a decent hotel but we wouldn’t know. We thought we booked the il Casale del Cotone but what we got was the Rocca degli Olivi. Apparently they are both owned by the same person and are across the road from each other (a ¼ mile... more

We stayed in this hotel 4th to 9th Oct. Location is good if you have a car. It only takes 5 minutes to get to the town. The view and the environment is excellent. I actually disagree with some others that criticise Alexandro (the owner) of his aloofness. He is just a timid person by nature. When I first met... more

The service is bad, it´s a B&B but nobody is availble after 6 pm (not even for an aspirine or a cup of hot water) and the closest town is 2 miles away. Also, the internet services is bad, you receive during the breakfast a 12 hr internet free "ticket" that you can't use at night (when you are at... more

Four ladies from the US stayed at this property for two nights in early October and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The location is great, the rooms fairly spacious and very clean, the breakfasts delicious. We were the recipients of Alessandros' unbelievable cooking-too many courses to remember and all were fabulous! Including wine and after dinner liquors, the price was 135... more

Il Casale Del Catone We stayed here for 4 nights at the end of Sept ‘09. We originally booked the hotel for 2 nights but liked it so much we stayed for another 2. It is the perfect place to spend a peaceful few days. The facilities were spotless and the staff very helpful. Alessandro speaks perfect English and cooks... more

I hope to visit again on our next holiday! more

Our stay at Il Casale del Cotone was the best experience on our Italian vacation. The location, the breathtaking views, the rooms, the service, and the food were outstanding. We wish we could have stayed longer. We would HIGHLY recommend Il Casale del Cotone to anyone looking for a very special holiday. Thank you Alessandro for a wonderful memory! more

This was a quality place to stay at a price that we felt was reasonable. The manager was reasonabley helpful but maybe not as much as some of the other reviews give him credit for. None the less I would recommend this hotel. It is a beautiful building in a great location and is clean/tidy and serves good quality breakfasts. more

After all the sensational reviews of Casale del Cotone, I was a little disappointed in it. True, there were many things working in its favour. It's a beautiful property, just outside of San Gimignano, that allowed us to visit town in the evenings when it was much quieter. We loved eating breakfast outside on the terrace. But there were a... more
