Residence Le Santucce

This beautiful property is located in the heart of Tuscany. Although Castiglion Fiorentino is small and not a known tourist destination, it is a gorgeous town, and you can see the best of it through the beautiful views from Residence le Santucce. Every room in the property is unique, and suited to the needs of your group - some large with kitchens, and some tiny but still charming. All of them are clean and if you're lucky enough to be facing the town outside the city walls, you will wake up to the most serene view and fall asleep to phenomenal sunsets every evening. I came here as part of a school trip, and the residence also includes a lovely breakfast room, a meeting space with a smartboard, and other common areas that will make this location attractive for larger groups. The main entrance of the property lets out into the city center, and some of the best restaurants in town are within a couple minutes walking distance. As lovely as the property is, the soul of the place is Luisella, our phenomenal host for over two weeks. Not only did she arrange breakfast every day for our group, she also drove us to the laundromat and grocery store whenever we needed to go, and had great suggestions for weekend plans and things to do. I actually fell really sick towards the end of my trip, and couldn't travel to our next location, and Luisella was kind enough to accommodate me for an extra day. She made us feel at home throughout our trip, so much so that when I return to Italy, I will definitely have Castiglion Fiorentino on my itinerary once again!

My four sisters and I stayed here 4 nights in May after visiting Florence. We were met at the train station by the charming owners. The Residence is a restored convent that the owner Alfeo takes much deserved pride in. His daughter, Luisella, handles most of the day to day operations. It’s located on a hill above the village in a walled city. The expansive views are breathtaking! The area offers many shops and restaurants. It’s a cute village and easy to walk around. We had two spacious apartments. They were very large, clean, comfortable and so lovely. One had a balcony/patio area off the living room. The small kitchen was adequate for us as we ate most meals out. The bathrooms were large and had good water pressure in the showers. The continental breakfasts was very nice. Alfeo kindly drove us all to nearby Cortona one day because the bus was not on the regular schedule. (He is so kind and charming.) We also reserved thru them a wine tasting experience and a cooking class which they organized for us and drove us to. They were both outstanding excursions and I highly recommend them. We all were so happy with our accommodations and the location! We can’t wait to return! Our many thanks to this lovely family that made our stay so absolutely wonderful.

A long time friend of mine was getting married just outside the town in September and organised this hotel for my wife and i plus 2 other families, so we didn't know what to expect other than what we saw on the web site. We where not disappointed, the pictures don't do it justice its a lovely hotel the rooms are huge, quite basic but great nevertheless. the staff (farther and daughter) could not of been more helpful. A great place to stay for exploring Tuscany and if you plan your visit to go when there is a festival in the town the locals are very welcoming. Would i visit again....Yes Please and a big thanks everybody at The Residence Le Santucce for making our stay an enjoyable one.
