Casale Di Brolio

Casale di Brolio is a nice place at a strategic point in the area. A car is absolute necessary. We got a special offer from the owner, although the price was still high compared with comparable other accommodations. The normal prices is in my opinion too high (value for money). The house is beautiful, the rooms are nice and spacious, but the service is limited. The communication is difficult, because the owner (Marcello) and other staff do not speak english very well. During our stay (3 nights) we only have seen Marcello and his employee during our arrival. All other moments there was nobody to help or give some advice about nice things to visit in the area. We had problems with the waterpressure of our shower, we only could tell this with checking-out. The Wifi-solution is quite dramatic. Every second the screen of your device is getting to the screensaver, you have to start up the total login-procedure. It is a nice place , but we missed the quality of a B&B, or the service from a hotel.

We stayed in this beautiful converted farmhouse for 3 nights Sep 2013, and cannot recommend this place enough. Incredibly stunning scenery, our view from the bedroom was Cyrus trees and a beautiful pool which overlooks acres of endless farmland. Lovely big elegant rooms and the breakfasts every morning were delicious (we were even asked on arrival how we like our eggs in the morning). Small touches which make such a difference. The host awaiting us was the wonderful Eline, who couldn't do enough. She went above and beyond to make sure we had the best stay possible, organising trips for us by phone and keeping contact even when she was not at the farmhouse. Free bike rentals and a lovely restaurant for evening meals. It was a quiet idealic retreat which epitomizes the best of a Tuscan holiday. Thank you for such a lovely stay.

After arriving at the wrong destination and feeling very lost, we called Marcello who personally came and collected us 14km away which we found very kind. On our arrival he gave us a local bottle of wine to enjoy overlooking the most picturesque setting of sunflower fields by the pool. That night we enjoyed the most beautiful meal we had in Italy made by a fantastic Bulgarian young chef. The views from each window is like looking at a painting - only better
