Castello la Leccia

Words can barely convey how incredible, breathtaking and memorable our stay was here. La Leccia is absolutely stunning and the property looks like a Tuscan watercolor painting. The service was 5-star and the room was gorgeous. Newly engaged, my fiancé and I took part in the wine tasting/tour and even booked a cooking class. In addition to leaving this amazing castle with two cases of wine and olive oil in tow, we both agreed that the cooking class was a “once in a lifetime”‘experience. We made a wonderful Tuscan ravioli lunch and tiramisu (recipes in hand now.) the breakfast every morning was absolutely wonderful and we have agreed to visit every year on our anniversary. Hard to put into words how incredibly grateful and thankful we are for the amazing experience and hospitality. If you want an amazing experience to remember for decades, don’t hesitate booking a room in this castle vineyard. You’ll fall in love, we did.

Dreaming of going back to La Leccia!!!! The staff super friendly, the breakfast delicious and super complete, the room was very spacious and smelled delicous they had Dr. Vranjes france in the shower. The views were spectacular!!!, 35 minute drive to San Gimignano and 35 minute drive to Siena, 5 minute drive to Castellina in Chianti. Super lovely Castello!!! I really hope I can come back.

Stunning property with beautiful views. We stayed here for four nights while traveling in Tuscany. It is a beautifully restored small castle. You enter on a dirt road lined with tall cypress trees. The views on the back of the property are just stunning. Be sure to catch the sunset. We stayed in a double deluxe room which was very spacious, and offered 2 levels, one sitting area and the bedroom with ensuite bath. Coffee, tea, mini bar were included complimentary in the room. The entire staff are so welcoming and accommodating. The breakfast is wonderful, a display of local cheeses, meats, pastries and eggs made to order. The wine tour is complimentary, and highly advise. The guide is wonderful in explaining their wine making process and it followed by a tasting. If you are traveling in the Castellina in Chianti region, Castello La Leccia will offer you the perfect stay!!!

When I dream of staying in Tuscany, Castello La Leccia is what I picture. The superior double room was beautiful, with expansive views and a lovely soaking tub! We loved sitting outside and having a glass of wine and looking out over stunning Tuscany. Breakfast was excellent. The wine was great and we enjoyed the wine tour. We were told it was not possible to eat dinner on the terrace outside because it was too cold. We found the temperature pleasant and part of the motivation for booking was our desire for al fresco dining (still traveling COVID conscious) and to enjoy the beautiful views.

This is an amazing property in Tuscany. Perfect location for exploring local villages, beautiful rooms, delicious means, amazing hospitality. Highly recommend and hope to come back!

This place exceeded our already high expectations. The staff were so incredibly friendly and accommodating. The room and common areas were pristine. The food and wine were to die for, and those views are unmatched.

Wow. Absolutely beautiful hotel with incredibly helpful, kind and knowledgeable staff. Exactly what we were hoping for in a Tuscan vacation. The staff will treat you like family from the minute you arrive to the minute you check out. The grounds are immaculate and the buildings strike the perfect balance between traditional Tuscan villa and modern amenities. The hotel sits on top of one of the highest hills in the region, providing breathtaking views from the minute you arrive. You can eat all your meals outside and truly enjoy the views during sunrise, midday and the famous sunsets which do not disappoint. The hotel is the perfect size in that you can get to know the staff during your stay and even make some friends with the other couples staying there. The pool area is serene and beautiful - perfect place to relax each afternoon after visiting nearby vineyards. That said, you won’t want to leave as the hotel has incredible wine and provides private tours. Pizza night on Wednesday was delicious, as was each breakfast and each dinner with nightly specials. An absolute gem, I don’t think you could ask for anything more. Cannot wait to return here. Highly recommend!!

We enjoyed our stay at Castello La Leccia. It is in a stunning location with amazing views. The grounds are beautiful and you can tell they take great pride in their facility. The rooms are very large (we reserved a superior room with separate sitting area). Our room's air conditioning was not working so had a very uncomfortable first night. However, the next day when we let them know, they brought us a fan to the room and worked on fixing it. Due to this malfunction, they reduced our first night's rate, which was a very thoughtful gesture. Breakfast was very good here- they provided made to order eggs and omelets on request. This property has a pool and my husband really enjoyed taking advantage of it in the heat of the day. We had dinner one night at the hotel and found it to be lacking somewhat in quality and quantity and not consistent with our favorable impressions of the rest of the property. We had inquired several weeks before arrival on setting up a wine tasting and we were told to book it upon arrival which they schedule at 4 pm each day. We assumed that meant that space would be held first for in-house guests so we didn't think anything of it and planned to go at 4 pm on the day we arrived. We were surprised when we arrived that they did not have any availability that day even though they had told us to arrange when we were on-site, but told us they could get us in the next day. We already had made other tasting reservations the second day and did not think we would be able to fit in the tasting and were very disheartened that we may not be able to taste their wines, which was one of the main reasons we chose to stay there. We lucked out and got back just in time to get to the tasting but it was added stress that day that we did not need. We did thoroughly enjoy their wines. Overall, we had a great stay here and would return again.

This was our final stop during our Tuscany honeymoon and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to finish our trip. Highlights included: - we hadn’t appreciated how amazing the views from the restaurant are. We enjoyed our best meal all week here. - the wine is delicious, we especially enjoyed the 2018 red. The wine tasting is worth doing - we really enjoyed a pre-dinner spritz in the garden to the amazing views, really relaxing - my wife enjoyed one of the best massages she’s ever had. - on the last night we ventured into castellina in chianti and visited Pizzeria il Fondaccio which we would recommend, tasty pizza for just ten euros
