Sergio & his caring team at Il Cellese were absolutely fantastic! Our holiday at their gorgeous hotel could not have been better in any way.

One of the most beautiful places I've ever been - surpassed all my expectations! More

While the views,setting and owner of Il Cellese are great, our accommodation in the Finelle apartment was not. Other rooms might be great but ours wasn't in the main building which... More

What a great opportunity to experience all that Chianti has to offer from the comforts of an authentic establishment with a stellar view. We stayed 4/5 nights here with our infant daughter in late October, typically not the tourist time but it was great. Weather cooperated and the location is ideal to get in and out of the surrounding areas... More
