Guest Reviews
5 3Podere Salicotto est un endroit très agréable, typiquement toscan avec une belle allée de cyprès et une belle demeure restaurée avec beaucoup de goût . L'accueil de Paolo et Sylvia est très chaleureux. Ils sont très intentionnés et soucieux que nous passions un agréable séjour chez eux. La visite des lieux avec Paolo en français, nous a permis de faire connaissance. Nous étions logés dans la suite Belvédère ou nous étions quatre, William, Pascale et nos deux filles Emmanuelle et Claire. Le panorama est superbe, la piscine délicieuse, on est comme chez soi. Les petits déjeuners sont délicieux, variés et copieux, Sylvia prépare toujours une tarte avec les légumes du jardin, et on se régale!! La proximité de Sienne, Montalcino, Montepulciano et d'autres villages aux alentours nous ont permis de découvrir la toscane avec ses richesses. Bref,nous avons passé un excellent séjour chez Sylvia et Paolo et nous les remercions.
Petit coin de paradis dans une région magnifique . Le site est très accueillant chaleureux tout comme ses propriétaires. Nous avons passé d'excellentes vacances à découvrir la région, profiter de la superbe piscine à débordement avec un paysage a 360°. La sortie en voilier fut le top ... Nous recommandons vivement cet endroit tant pour le lieu magique que pour Silvia qui est d'une gentillesse incroyable et de bons conseils.
Séjour de charme et de détente totale dans ce petit paradis toscan. Je suis Doris, la responsable du site chambres d'hôtes de charme, ayant séjourné 3 nuits du 19 juin au 22 juin 2013 à Podere Salicotto lors de notre 2ème étape en Toscane en compagnie de mon mari, ma fille de12 ans et mes parents. Nous avons été enchantés par notre séjour et sommes heureux de vous faire partager notre expérience... L'accueil des propriétaires Paolo et Silvia et le sourire irrésistible de Silvia nous a charmé dès notre arrivée. A la fois discrets, disponibles et attentionnés, ils ont comblé nos attentes jusqu'à la fin de notre séjour. A notre arrivée, Paolo nous a présenté notre chambre et ensuite les lieux et espaces communs du domaine. Nous avons occupé le Studio Belvédère, chambre indépendante très confortable et spacieuse rénovée avec beaucoup de charme à aire ouverte avec un coin séjour, une table et des chaises et une cuisine équipée. Le plus : Immenses portes fenêtres avec une vue magnifique sur les collines... L'environnement est exceptionnel et magique en plein coeur des collines toscanes et si paisible qu'il vous procure une détente totale. Superbe piscine d'eau salée - La vue panoramique 360 degrés et les douces couleurs des paysages nous émerveillent à toutes heures de la journée. Plusieurs bancs sont installés afin d'admirer les merveilleux couchers de soleil Tout est pensé pour se sentir en vacances et à l'aise comme chez soi... Une cuisine, un barbecue et la cave à vin sont à la disposition des hôtes en tout temps pour être libre de faire ses repas et déguster un bon vin de petits producteurs locaux sur la terrasse. Succulents petits déjeuners composés de tartes aux légumes et ricotta et gâteaux faits maisons et produits locaux: fromages, charcuteries, fruits frais.... Un vrai délice pour bien commencer la journée. Le personnel au petit déjeuner est souriant et attentionné. Le petit déjeuner est servi sur la terrasse pour rendre ce moment encore plus agréable. La situation idéale de Podere Salicotto nous a permis de visiter la ville de Sienne et les villages de Pienza, Montalcino et Montepulciano à une distance d'environ 20 minutes A environ 1 heure vous pourrez aussi visiter la ville de Florence. Nous avons sympathisé avec des hôtes australiens et anglais qui séjournaient aussi à Podere Salicotto. Tout le monde était ravi et comblé. Tout était parfait!!! Un lieu et un accueil qui resteront gravé dans nos plus beaux souvenirs. Un grand merci à Paolo et Silvia pour leur accueil chaleureux et partager avec nous leur petit paradis. L'Art de recevoir ! Un petit trésor caché toscan qui mérite grandement le détour !!! Un lieu à recommander pour un séjour de détente et de découvertes en couple ou entre amis

You know how helpful reviews are when you're looking for a place to stay, but the system works only if everyone contributes their comments.
Please take a minute to post your comments.
SUGGESTIONS FOR REVIEWERS
Describe the key elements of the accommodations : decor, hospitality, value, housekeeping, setting, and/or meals. What were the highlights of your stay? A comfortable bed and elegant decor? The convenient location? The delicious breakfasts and afternoon snacks? The hospitality of the innkeepers? Extra amenities and/or advice for business or vacation travel? If in the area again, would you return? Recommend to friends?
Be both honest and fair : We feature various types of accommodation - some more luxurious than others ... Criteria of charm vary from person to person
We offer a wide selection of quality guesthouses for all tastes and budgets
It is not fair to compare a guesthouse that charges €75 a night with a nearby property that charges double or triple that rate.
Things can go wrong in the best of guesthouses, and the difference between an average place and a great one is how the innkeepers address the problem when something unexpected occurs.
Avoid hyperbole : Reviews that include only effusive praise or complete condemnation are rarely helpful or even credible.
Innkeeper responses : There are at least two sides to every story (often three!). The reviews posted on the Charming Guest Rooms website are taken seriously by innkeepers.
We reserve the right for innkeepers to respond to any review.
