"There are no words to describe our experience at this incredibly beautiful and wonderful charming several century old village resort in Chianti. It was everything you imagined Italy to be in wine country. Probably one of my favorite places I have ever stayed at, and I’ve stayed at hundreds of of places around the world. The staff was wonderful, the accommodations were just super cool. It was once a village dating back over 100+ years. It was truly remarkable that the owner discovered it and restored it, creating a truly wonderful experience and beautiful Tuscany. We definitely will stay here every time we go to Tuscany in the future. This is a must-stay place!"
"Our 6 night stay was absolutely fantastic. Palazzo Ravizza is a treasure on every level, from the hotel itself to the wonderful staff. An extra special thank you goes out to Frederica who was extremely kind to us. As importantly, she was there when we needed her. This was our second visit to Palazzo Ravizza and we definitely plan on returning."
"A great hotel with great staff. We had a room at the back with a balcony which had stunning views. Very nice room overall and the breakfast was very nice too."
"Everything about this place is excellent. We had a wonderful stay and beautiful views of the sunrise! One thing to note is that you do have to take a flight of stairs to your room as there is no elevator. If you have luggage you may want to take this into consideration. We did and it was manageable!"
"Borgo San Luis is a luxury destination! The four of us were treated as honored guests of great renown. The grounds were wide, varied, and immaculate. The breakfasts were special events for us foodies, and the swimming pool was refreshing even in October!. Parking was free, secure, and accessible. We easily saw why the Borgo was a destination for the weddings, feasts, and meetings that were taking place at the time of our visit -- but they were never intrusive. The staff were multi-lingual and honestly could not do enough for us. Should you ever desire a dream from which that you did not want to awaken, visit Borgo San Luis."
"Absolutely lovely hotel. Best one we stayed at in Italy - in retrospect, we wish we booked to stay here a second night. The location is quiet and isolated so stars are visible at night, plenty of parking, and breakfast is worth the 20 EURS, best breakfast options we had during our stay. Highly recommend, 10/10."
