This was our fifth visit to Tuscany, and this time we chose this hotel. It’s a villa on a wine estate with wine tastings and a restaurant. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant twice and enjoyed it both times. The grounds around the villa are beautiful — perfect for sitting with an aperitivo and enjoying the view. There’s an outdoor pool and bike rentals, plus a large parking area. The rooms are tastefully decorated, with a great minibar and local wine. Daily cleaning was provided. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was modest but enough to start the day. The only issue was the sewage smell in the bathroom. The bathroom looked newly renovated with modern finishes and brand-new fixtures, but it seems there’s a deeper issue with the plumbing. The housekeeping staff should remember to close the bathroom door after cleaning, because otherwise, when you return to the room in the evening, the whole place smells of sewage.

This hotel was more than exceptional! It is situated in a gorgeous region of Tuscany - the view was simply breathtaking! Our room was one of the best rooms we've stayed in and we've traveled a lot. And the staff - we felt more like family than visitors in our two night stay. We had dinner at the hotel on our first night and it was absolutely delicious - and we felt like a king and queen by our waitress. Our stay at this amazing hotel is one that will be dear to our heart for years to come. I truly recommend this hotel to any couple visiting this gorgeous area of Tuscany!

Absolutely nothing! I didn't want to leave!!

I wish I could give higher scores than 10. 1. The location is like in the movies. So romantic. With beautiful trees and flowers. Peaceful and quiet. 2. The owner and the staff perfect. Kind and polite. 3. The room exactly the one in the picture. Majestic. Elegant. Spacious. Clean and new. The beds comfortable. The air-conditioning in room and all building areas perfect. The view from the room perfect. The bath perfect. Barrier free for the handicapped. The windows have mosquito net which is perfect. 4. Elevator for the handicapped. 5. Parking. 6. Pool amazing with few steps down from the hotel area. Not deep and not shallow. You can swim the whole day. Clean. Enough umbrellas and chairs. 7. Breakfast perfect. Toast sandwiches with a toaster. Egg pancakes. Fresh bread. Tomato. Mozzarella. Ham. Salami. Jam. Honey. Butter. Milk. Fruit juice. Cornflakes. Yogurt. Fresh fruits. Fruit salad. Cappuccino and coffee. They also have a basket with gluten-free items. 8. Lunch and dinner. A nice menu with different types of Pici. Try their tagliatelle with Truffles and Raviolis with extra fried zucchinis. They also have ice cream which is not on the menue. Overall, we had such a good time that we decided to stay three nights more.

Nothing at all.

Villa was beautiful surrounded by vineyard and a lush green landscape, inside was beautifully furnished and our room was huge and comfortable. The restaurant served first class meals and the Manager Saverio and the Villa Staff were excellent, professional and friendly. We had 4 wonderful nights at The Villa and left feeling more like friends than guests. Aquaviva is stunningly beautiful and befitting this quality establishment. Thankyou Severio and Staff.

Nothing at all

Stunning, peaceful location close to Montepulciano, fabulous full breakfast, luscious views.

The rooms weren't quite as "bougie" as we were expecting (considering the price), and there were certainly no 'extras'. Going in winter also means a much more diluted experience — the hotel is quiet, the pool is closed, the lovely outdoor seating wasn't much use, the winery was under construction. Can imagine this would be a dream in summertime, but maybe pricing should be adjusted to reflect the lesser winter offering.

We loved every minute here! The Villa is stunning, very well kept up, gorgeous gardens..and the views, stellar! Our spacious room, bed/pillows was very comfortable, large shower/bathroom with windows that opened up to the Tuscany hillside. Breakfast very morning was scrumptious. The attention to detail is impeccable. The flower gardens are stunning. We spent time at the pool, had dinner one evening outside watching the sun set. 5*'s to Saverio, General Manager, Francesca/utterly amazing Restaurant Lead Server and the entire team. They all made us feel like family. We look forward to our next visit and recommending to anyone we know going to Tuscany.

After our wonderful stay last year, we chose Relais Villa Grazianella for our current vacation as well (this time with friends) and once again, we are delighted with the enchanting ambiance, the beautiful hotel grounds, the exceptionally friendly staff, the very good room amenities, the high-quality food, and the comfortable hotel location (close to Montepulciano, Pienza, and the many other picturesque towns and landscapes of Tuscany). We had another fantastic time at the Relais and are already planning our next stay there. A heartfelt thanks to the entire team of the breathtaking Relais for the great service and exceptional hospitality! We look forward to seeing you again, are excited about the new winery, and wish everyone a great holiday season with always friendly guests! GRAZIE MILLE E A PRESTO 😊 Maria and friends

nothing, it was perfect

This place was a dream to stay at!! We stayed in the beautiful two bedroom apartment, located among the acres of vines. The views were incredible, the location to hilltop towns was perfect for visiting and the restaurant was delicious. We had breakfast provided every morning which was wonderful. We did a wine tasting that was incredible! We so wished we could have stayed longer than we booked and will definitely be back! Thank you to all the staff, every one of you were a joy!

Nothing! Just that we couldn't stay longer!

The hotel staff are all excellent. Very accommodating and helpful - we had to check in very late and they did their best to make the process as smooth as possible. Furthermore, they went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The rooms are very spacious, with modern bathrooms and comfortable furnishings. The location is ideal if one wishes to visit various parts of Tuscany.

The central heating was a bit excessive, and we could not regulate the temperature ourselves - however, this was a very minor issue, easily solved by opening the window.
