They re opened on Thursday & am sure FTer owners will be thrilled to welcome you

Weekdays will be preferable , if you have hopes for a quieter stay .
Trying to figure out how to fly across the lakes , oceans & seas to Milan to get here - to get to Italy

Borgo Santo Pietro is in a slightly less attractive part if Tuscany, and no views from the rooms as the resort is set on flat land, not a hilltop.

Monastero is in a very good location, it’s a bit too big for my taste with 75 rooms. Views are not spectacular, and F&B was a weak point when I stayed there last year.

Reschio is brand-new, very nice hard product, but service level are still far from what one would expect at that price point. It’s an old castle, so views from the rooms are very limited. No outside space either for the rooms. It’s not in Tuscany, but deep in the Umbrian countryside. There isn’t much to do in the direct vicinity.

I agree with the suggestion of the Rosewood, which is the best luxury property overall in Tuscany.

I haven’t been to Casole and Pignano yet, but private outside space might be an issue here too. I also want to visit Como Castello del Nero and Badia di Pomaio.
Would heed ABG & of course , livefromtuscany ( as you can tell from the “ handle “ where he is ) , if one is headed to Tuscany .

On our next foray there , will include Lupaia , for sure , to enjoy the wonderful hospitality .. the meals were superb & so were the views from everywhere ‼️ Truly the original Aman inspired ..
