Villa Cozzano

The experience at this place did not meet expectations. Although it is presented as a ‘villa,’ it is actually an agriturismo. During my stay, I noticed serious cleanliness issues, as I saw rats both in the dining area and in the room. The management seems to be handled by very young and inexperienced people, which affects the quality of service. The energy and attitude of the two reception and billing staff were unpleasant, adding to the negative experience. The food and drinks are overpriced but do not match the value, either in taste or presentation. The only highlight is the sunset view, which lasts a short time and does not justify the overall cost. There are more affordable options in the area with better service and quality. I would not recommend it.

The hotel has everything, beatifull location with zen, a very friendly and service-minded staff and nice rooms in this building from 1541. Our stay in the “Masso-room” was completed with an in-room dinner with open fire in the fire place. A fantastic experience, arranged by the staff. The hotel is highly recommended - we will be back for sure

A unique place like this needs a proper review! I normally never write any texts about accommodations I've been. I prefer to keep the memories for myself. But with Villa Cozzano it's different. The place seems from "out of this world". The only thing you hear is silence and some birds that fill the total quietness with their music. Sofia and Manuel will give you the most warm welcome you can imagine. It feels like coming back to your family after a very long time. Also the rooms present themselves in all their coziness. Very authentic and with a very nice climate because of the air conditioning, where you can relax after a city trip or a swim in the pool. The place of the dinner and the breakfast (that is just DELICIOUS!) can be chosen freely on all of the property, where else have you experienced something like that in your life?! I read some reviews that were written before and I can't understand people complaining about authentic italian food (That is obviously the best you can taste!) and asking for toilet paper because you feel uncomfortable.. I asked the hosts for new towels, and they brought them to me directly to the room or to the pool area. I wanted to do a trip to Montalcino, they organized the taxi for me with a smile and some good avice where to go. I asked for an Aperol Spritz at the pool with my friend (even if it wasn't written anywhere that there is such a possibility), it was served even with some italian snacks aside. To be honest I can't imagine why people wouldn't enjoy their time in such a beautiful paradise, in the end I guess it's more a struggle they have with themselves than with the place itself. Dito, I enjoyed my time to the fullest and I really like to experience and discover new places but I know that when it comes to Villa Cozzano I will be back for sure. Grazie per tutto Manuel, Sofia and your team. You made me calm in the inside and forget about all the struggles that doesn't really matter in life and that is what good holidays are about, no?

This is a long review, but I took the time to write it so that you will spare some mooney and, more importantly, some dignity. Please do not let yourself be deluded by all the positive reviews, like we did. I am sorry to say this, but this place is full of a specific breed of individuals that let a couple of green hills and valleys obscure their common sense. It is the only reason it is still functioning. People that say “uuu” and “aaa” and “wow” to some green grass, but don’t understand what a price-value relationship means. And while nature is always beautiful, and calming, and cathartic, if we wanted an exclusive natural experience, we had plenty of alternatives in our country. Cozzano does a decent marketing job, I will say that. It presents itself as a romantic, cinematic villa, with great history and tradition. And the villa is indeed beautiful, and the rooms have been decorated with respect to authentic tuscan heritage. The fairytale, unfortunately, stops at the architectural aspects. Reality is nothing like the story. Allow me to immerse you in our experience: 1.) We arrived at Cozzano on the night of my birthday. My sister-in-law had organized a surprise dinner with the staff. This birthday dinner was priced at 200 euros for two people, a cost well justified when taken into consideration the private chef, Walter, and the a-la-carte menu. In reality, we were served the following: A zuchinni muffin Buratta in tomato sauce Frozen dumplings on top of some more tomato sauce Old chicken with 3 roasted potatoes (If you know the taste of refrigirated, reheated chicken, it was just that - uneatable) Almond crunch parfait (a minuscule portion of mascarpone on top of one scoop of supermarket ice cream) In my modest experience dining at castles in France and Spain, private chefs visit your table during or after your dinner, to listen to your impressions and perfect their skill. Walter never made his appearence, because Walter did not exist. To say that a private chef would have cooked the menu we were served would be to say Leonardo da Vinci would have painted the Monalisa with sticks . The closest thing to a private chef we had was Sofi, and while I have nothing against Sofi, private chefs or private waiters do not come at a 200 euros-priced-table dressed in crop tops and booty shorts. The least they could have done for the sake of the story they were trying to sell, is buy a chef’s uniform. I still wouldn’t have bought it, but I would have appreciated the effort. Please understand that I am not speaking from a pretentious point of view, although it may sound that way. Had we wanted a luxury experience, we would have chosen to stay at Reschio. But we wanted the simple, rural experience - the basic, but delicious foods, born in the ever-inventive spirit of the countryside. The problem was not in the experience itself, but in the taking us for fools, in the enormous discrepency between price and offer. You cannot price a rustic dinner

Prachtig landhuis in fraaie tuin met uitzicht op de olijfgaarden en Lago Montepulciano. Heel romantische plek. Kostbaar 5-gangen diner voor € 100 per persoon, exclusief de wijn, omdat de kwaliteit minder exclusief was. Lekkere tomaten met burrata en heerlijke limoen risotto. Wat vettige pasta met courgette(bloemen) en redelijke (slordig opgediende) biefstuk met sperziebonen en aardappels. Olijfolie ijs als toetje met 1 braam erop was wat magere afsluiting. Voor de prachtige en romantische plek in de tuin betaal je de hoofdprijs.
