Villa Mangiacane

Breathtaking scenery, gorgeous room, and all food was fabulous. But: the service didn't match the 5-star setting. We were there for 3 nights: room was too hot and our room telephone never worked. This and other service requests were forgotten (such as bringing our 3rd bathrobe) or quite delayed (such as delivering and returning the luggage trolley). The grounds and pool were gorgeous, but no one was providing service at the pool. Someone came when we asked for a drink, then disappeared and never returned. Towels and food/ drink remains were not cleared throughout the afternoon. The villa has no courtesy car, which we expected for the price of our stay. (You can't get a taxi to take drive you for dining off-property, and the lengthy walk through the vineyards isn't possible for people with mobility issues.) It seems the owners are more focused on saving money than 5-star service, and the facility was understaffed.

Outstanding experience in the super luxurious spectacular Villa Mangiacane Exquisite taste flair and elegance with immaculate service and attention to detail . Incredible cuisine - and breathtaking views Could not reccomend this true rare jewel of a hotel highly enough

Beautiful view, amazing pool and divine food, welcoming staff and great wine testing. It was amazing, and the services were helpful and exactly what needed. Even though we live in tuscany, it was a great experience, which we recommend for everyone (Adults, Kids and pets).

Picturesque property with friendly, welcoming staff. Very happy with room - spacious and comfortable. Bed was a bit hard and sheets weren't especially soft but overall a great stay. Dinner in the courtyard was relaxing & delicious. Close to quaint towns with great food. Pool was perfect for hot days. Easy drive (with Google Maps) into Florence (30min). Only frustration was that the hotel advertises a spectacular balcony overlooking the vineyards & hills of Tuscany however this is apart of the main villa which was entirely rented out to a private guest so the hotel guests did not have access. Part of the reason why we booked here was to enjoy some wine while playing cards in the evenings on this balcony. Disappointed that it was unavailable. Otherwise really excellent experience!

What can I say about villa mangiacane. A true gem. We visited in April of this year when I proposed to my now fiancé. In the lead up, the reception team couldn’t do enough to help plan including switching rooms to allow us to stay in the beautiful terrace suite with large windows providing panoramic views over the Tuscan countryside and vineyards. The terrace itself just off our room was light airy and had even better views including Florence in the distance. The lights at night were stunning. The food; delicious! The head chef who was clearly passionate about his food, came out to chat to us on our first evening and talked us through his menu. The staff were friendly and helpful every night. The wine, also delicious. We booked the wine tour during our stay and were able to sample a few of mangiacane’s wines. We fully intend to have a selection shipped back to the UK in the near future. We had a truly unforgettable stay, from the beautiful villa and surroundings to the food and wine. Everything was faultless. But I have to say a special thank you to all the staff, they were all evidently aware that I was planning to propose and so really did go above and beyond to ensure it went smoothly.
