Guest Reviews for Rocca di Cetona

"La Rocca " as everyone in town calls it, was beyond what we could have imagined. It was a castle! There were rooms and spaces for entertainment that we were pleasently surprised to find. The Villa was clean and kept up! Vasile the caretaker was exceptional! He just showed up when it was raining to take us into town knowing we had dinner reservations. It was nice to come down in the morning and have coffee waiting too. The villa arranged for a private cooking class with a chef that was one of our highlights. We visited the local wine shop, and had a private tour and tasting. The towns restaurants were exceptional. We wish we stayed longer !! Loved waking up to the sounds of the resident roosters!

We held a family reunion at La Rocca in May and found the villa to be just breathtaking. After a long journey to the villa, we arrived to a delectable spread to satisfy our hunger. An unexpected touch. Each day, the servers clean-up the kitchen and all the dishes and attend to the bedrooms, so it offers the service of a hotel. The property care taker was so attentive to all of our needs and was at our disposal the whole week. The town is easily accessed and features 2 excellent fine dining restaurants (Ristorante Osteria del Merlo & Osteria Vecchia da Nilo) and one of the best pizzerias (Pizza e Hamburger da Nilo) we have come by over the three trips we have made to Italy over the years. Order the Diavolo Pizza - it is the best! Lots of charming shops to visit including a wine tasting shop with incredible cheese and olives. Oh, and the best Gelateria too (Gran Caffè Cavour)! This town is a foodies' haven.
CONS: Not a heated pool. The villa should consider a solar blanket. We kept running out of TP, so more supplies in the ensuites would be a plus. That's all. Everything else was perfection. It was the most memorable stay we have had in Italy ever!Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes

A dream place for a dream week. Vassili and the all helpers were just perfect. A straight 10 on 10 with one tiny exception for the (very poor) wifi.
