"When we arrived in the peaceful hamlet of Moncioni, we wondered where a design hotel could be. But hidden behind plain stone walls is a very stylish find. For centuries a holiday home of Florentine nobility, Villa Sassolini Country Boutique Hotel has been impeccably restored by acclaimed designer Massimo Tani, known for his novel approach to everyday objects. Villa Sassolini, however, is anything but everyday. Smart, contemporary furnishings, softened with the occasional period piece and cool muted colours, have created an atmosphere of clean, understated luxury. It's a refreshing change from the many over-antiquified Tuscan villas around. You're in the heart of Tuscany, up high and the surroundings are inspiring, with breathtaking views of the Monti del Chianti and the valley below. Dine in the intimate restaurant with its fantastic menu or grab your Guccis and soak up some rays next to the good-looking pool. You'll understand why the lucky nobility kept it to themselves for so long. Highs Stylish modern design, and not a hint of overdecoration Delicious haute cuisine in the impeccably maintained gardens; and there's a wealth of fine wines on your doorstep Beautiful pool (open from May to Sept) and small on-site spa Tranquil, scenic location Conveniently located for day trips to Florence (50km), Siena (40km), Arezzo and the designer outlet stores. Lows It's principally aimed at couples (only kids 14 and over accepted), though there's one twin and an extra bed is available If you are looking for a historic feel with period furniture, try somewhere else The restaurant is closed on Mondays A car is crucial – and be prepared for some small, winding roads" - Emma Taylor
"Some upscale Tuscan villa hotels lean into the classic style you’d expect of them, while others venture in a more contemporary, minimalist direction. From the outside, the hilltop Villa Sassolini, with its classic Chianti stone facade, is a clear example of the former — but inside, it all depends on the room." - Tablet Hotels
