Villa Sant'Uberto Country Inn

Beautiful scenic views in quiet location. Friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast and amazing pool overlooking the Tuscan landscape. Room perfect size for two. Nice restaurant in walking distance too! Definitely need a car to stay here however as nearest town (Radda in Chianti) is about 10mins drive

We stayed two nights at this hotel. You must have a car to stay here. It was quaint and beautiful. We felt at peace the moment we arrived. We lounged by the pool, drinking wine and enjoying the view all afternoon. The sitting room was cozy, the dining room was elegant, the terrace was refreshing, the pool was fabulous, the grounds were well-manicured. The breakfast was an event as everyone sat together on the terrace to enjoy the view and the fresh air. (The coffee wasn't so great, but then, it wasn't at any of our hotels.) There was no hairdryer in the room, but I'm sure they would have had one at the front desk. The beds were a bit hard. There is no wi-fi or internet available. This was a great place to stay if you want to relax for a day, but it was also easy access to all of Chianti in Tuscany. We went to Radda, Siena, Castellina, and Panzano, and loved them all.

The breakfast buffet was very nice and had a selection of meat, cheese, jams etc. The first day there were boiled eggs and the second there weren't and we were disappointed! There was lovely homemade cake both days. Coffee was nothing special, too bad we weren't offered cappuccino. Nice selection of herbal teas though. Music (classical) was played through a radio, but I would have enjoyed more some Italian music from a CD (maybe the soundtrack of A Room With A View?? :-) for the atmosphere. The view from the terrace we had our breakfast on was dreamy. Our room was comfy and clean and roomy and nicely decorated. The lounge was also comfortable, had nice decor and a fireplace. We are early risers and it was nice to get up and stroll around the gardens before breakfast. Otherwise we didn't "hang around", so we can't say anything about the pool (which was still open in early September) or lounging around during the day there. The two close towns, Castellina and Rada, were pleasant and we enjoyed strolling around in them. Our hosts were pleasant enough but weren't exactly "warm". When we asked about a nice place for dinner, we were told there were a lot of good places in town, and nothing more.

Villa was secluded with a good view of the surrounding countryside. It was quiet and relaxing. Need a car to go around.
