"Hotel Viesca is truly something special. We rang in the New Year here and couldn’t have imagined a more perfect place to do so. From the moment we arrived, it felt less like a hotel and more like staying with family—warm, welcoming, and genuinely personal—yet with all the comforts and refinement of a luxury property. The staff is beyond amazing: incredibly kind, attentive, and always happy to help, making you feel completely at home throughout your stay. The food was absolutely fantastic and clearly prepared with so much care. You can immediately tell that fresh, local ingredients are at the heart of every dish, and that real love goes into the cooking. The entire experience felt like staying in a beautiful Tuscan villa—peaceful, elegant, and full of soul. It’s the kind of place where you slow down, relax, and truly savor where you are. A memorable stay in every sense, and somewhere we would return to without hesitation."

"We came for a family friends wedding and they had rented out the whole place. It’s not a wedding destination but it is stunningly beautiful with a hotel and restaurant on property as well as individual villas for families or a group of friends. We never ate at the restaurant but we did an amazing wine tasting with Salvatore. He’s so knowledgeable and we enjoyed learning the nuances of wine. The villa we stayed in had 4 suites which were very nice with private bathrooms. Hard to compare as we didn’t see the other villas. Beautiful property to visit and walk around."

"I booked a superior room here for 2 nights. The room was in the main building (Pian Rinaldi) in the center of the property. It was small but had all of the necessities. There are several private villas for rent (8) scattered throughout the large property. Most appear to have private pools. This appears to be the way to go if you are staying here. I imagine my experience would have been different staying in a villa, but I was traveling solo. The staff were friendly. The restaurant menu wasn't expansive, and I was surprised. Perhaps most of the dining occurs in the villas. I was relaxing by the pool one afternoon, as were several other couples, when something was going on below the nearby kitchen. I'm not sure if there was a problem or if they were cleaning out a septic tank, but that's what it smelled like...very foul. It went on for some time, and eventually everyone vacated the pool area. I would have thought a guest relations person would have come around to apologize or explain, but no one did. In fact, I never saw anyone who appeared to be a manager going around and greeting guests during my time there. I found this unusual for a luxury hotel. If you want to go into Florence and don't want to drive, the staff recommended driving 10 minutes to a nearby town and taking a 25-minute train ride. That worked perfectly."
