This year we chose Toscany for our vacation, and obviously you can't miss with Toscany but one of the reasons we had such a great time was Il Pietretto. 1. Staff - lovely, kind, helpful and they also had an amazing dog - love you Dante 2. Accommodation - traditional stone houses with thick walls, even though outside was 35-36 in our room was 23-24 degrees, fresh, no humidity (YES there is NO A/C but you DONT NEED IT) 3. BED - so comfortable, just the perfect soft/firm ratio I slept like a baby on a cloud 4. cleanliness - spotless clean 5. area - huge garden with beautiful view on the toscany hills, 100m on foot you can find old etruscian terme (free of charge with cooling and crystal clear water) 6. restaurant - food was tasty, good, and it offered the traditional part of Toscany Just to let you know some of the photos on Booking are from previous owners - the vibe is less high class now, more family centered and chill - which is smtg I am more prone to these days. My overall grade is 9.5/10 regardless the issue with the pool if you can call it like that because it was sorted in matter of 1-2 days

Only down part was the pool - not that it was dirty but water was not clear due to lack of chlorine which was sorted in the end.

The staff at Il Pietro are phenomenal, and went out of their way cheerfully to help us. We were walking the Via Francigena on a very hot July day—they allowed us an early check-in and even prepared us a small lunch though the restaurant was closed. Antonio was personable, thoughtful, and kind. For Pilgrims, this place is RIGHT on the Via Francigena and we highly recommend!!

It can be challenging getting into the upper swimming pool because you must go down a ladder, which gets very hot on the hands in the summer.

Beautiful property. Good breakfast complete and with Good products (it was just missing some fresh fruits)… Pool is nice and Garden is marvelous. Location is very good, it is very close to the Francigena road and close to the old Roman pools, only 10 mins from Colle’s center (you feel in the middle of the countryside, but in the same time you are close to the civilization). Hotel include restaurant with a great quality-for-value. You feel as At home…

Rooms could be better with more attention to details (but they said that they will be soon renewed). Some more cleaning attentions could be appreciated. No fresh fruits for breakfast.

The location of this property was perfect . If you are doing the Via Francigiena this is idyllic . Although the rooms are basic they are clean .The staff were very accommodating . We had a lovely meal in the hotel restaurant.

The WiFi is not dependable and as other reviewers have said there is a need for better curtains for room privacy . If you want air conditioning it is advisable to let the hotel know in advance as there are only 5 rooms with air con.

This is a beautiful property right on the Via Francigena. Giro the host was super friendly and helpful to pilgrims. The on-property restaurant is really excellent and had a good vibe, and they serve an outstanding breakfast. I was grateful for the hard-boiled eggs and deli meats that I could pack for the day's walk. And I loved the restaurant staff and the awesome Fernando, who gave me a ride. I felt very cared for as a single traveler. My stay was a highlight of the trip.

This isn't the fault of the Hotel. But pilgrims on the VF need to know this isn't in Colle di Val d'Elsa. It's a bunch of kilometers AFTER. This matters if you're tired with sore feet and rushing to meet their check-in deadline. I totally miscalculated and had to call Giro

Amazing hotel in quiet location (almost in forest). Cleaning every day, nice view from the pool, good food, but the most important is such extraordinary personel. Everybody was so kind, always with the smile on their faces. Special thanks to Alexandra, who took very good care of us. We really appreciate that and would love to come back!

Amazing breakfast! We’re used to non sweet breakfasts, but we’ve noticed that breakfast in Italian hotels is usually lack of eggs, sandwiches and food like this. Here hotel serves you amazing breakfast for any preferences. Also, stuff was outstanding!!! Hotel manager made us feel as we were special guests and we noticed that he had great relations with all of the guests. Whatever questions or favors we had, he was there to help us out! Last but not least, the territory of the hotel is beautiful.

Our room was dark and not comfy. It wasn’t a deal breaker since we didn’t stay inside, we only came in for a sleep.

Super Tuscan villa in a quiet spot practically on the Via Francigena. The welcome was warm, and although the restaurant was closed, I was helped to order a delivered pizza which I was then given all the necessary equipment for eating on the terrace. Service was superb; prompt, courteous, pleasant, warm and informal without being intrusive. Breakfast was generous with a full range of options. The pool was still open, because of the late summer, and, although heated only by the sun, it was a welcome extra refreshment after my day's hike. The grounds are delightful, with plenty of places to sit. This place is superb, much better than most other 3 stars. Do not hesitate to stay there.

I couldn't fault it.

Breakfast was splendid. Not to mention the wonderful surrounding, tidy, clean, well mantained. We had the whole house, well equipped, beautiful terrace. We had a perfect holiday, close to all the most beaufitul cities and villages of Toscany we visited. I highly recommend Il Pietreto.

All perfect.

Atmosphere was very relaxed, staff were extremely helpful, kind and friendly. Breakfast was okay but limited. Pool was a good size considering size of hotel plus there were two of them. Unfortunately did not get chance to use them as thunderstorms both mornings and at wedding events both afternoons. Views from Hotel grounds were exactly whst you expect Tuscany to look like, amazing

Unfortunately the weekend we were there it rained quire heavily on the Saturday and Sunday mornings but it did brighten up in the afternoon
