Clean. The bed and bedding was comfortable. But be aware that Italians like their beds firm. The bathroom was up to date. It is housed in a medieval tower on a narrow medieval road, adjacent to Piazza Grande. Literally two strides and you're in Piazza Grande which is lined with antique shops, restaurants and cafes and historic buildings. The managing couple was very warm, informative and accommodating, and showed me the Eutruscan, Roman and Midevial foundations in my room. It is an ancient building and historic codes do not allow an elevator, so be aware that upper floors have stairs, but the manager will carry your cases. My room had only a few steps, and really not on the first floor, but more like a half floor up. It was quiet and I felt safe being solo female traveler. Taxi can deliver you to the door, but has to pick up at the next corner, due to one way streets. They offer a breakfast package with a restaurant across the piazza, but I opted for the cafe 3 or 4 doors down and was glad I did, as the pastry was wonderful.

The evening dinners were adequate but unremarkable. I think what we were given was what the management thought British visitors might want. It was mostly plain and unimaginative. In particular, we were presented with the same antepasti dishes every night, mainly plain boiled vegetables. The rooms were good, clean and comfortable.

What can be said about this spot…read more.. Well, perhaps the best way to describe the experience is alike to previously common Facebook status, "It's Complicated." The road leading up to the property is far from amazing, so if driving a Lambo or a Ferrari, it will be a disaster to put simply to get through the bumps. Obviously, not everyone drives expensive cars to come here, but as a Michelin starred spot and a Relais Chateaux hotel, it would be thoughtful to accommodate arrival a bit better at the top of the line price point. The interior design is a greenhouse meeting a Modani furniture store, which creates a rather confusing design. It cannot be said as terrible, but it's far from beautiful in the evening, although perhaps the views during daytime hours make it a bit better. Even the restroom is sized for a hamster trying to close the door. Platters and silverware are very average. When it comes to food, Il Falconiere offers four tasting menus. There is a requirement that all guests at the table get the same menu or order A La Carte. Again, a very odd requirement, because it almost defeats the point of having so many tasting menus to begin with, requiring guests with varying tastes to either sacrifice or go for a diminished a La carte experience. The "White Giant" or Chianina menu highlighting local Tuscan cattle was my selection. An excellent carpaccio, followed by ox tongue, vermicelli, stuffed pappardella, sirloin and tiramisu dessert. The menu was half wonderful, half disappointing, with ox tongue being too tough, sirloin being low on flavor and tough, and tiramisu being a complete disappointment. Carpaccio, pappardele and vermicelli were great. Desserts all around across the menu left much to the desired, with half being dominated by simple puddings. But, Michelin starred restaurants are intended to embrace experimentation, so that is not the reason I give Il Falconiere such a low rating. The sommelier was a very unpleasant man, borderline rude. Not only was he not friendly, but did not take feedback well and even refused to change a wine glass for a different shape one. Wine tasting menu, besides being well aligned to dishes, was filled with cheap wines relative to the price paid. He was also overly sensitive about us taking a picture of the wine and asking not to do so. Overall, just a disaster. Some of the waiters were quite unpleasant and inattentive also. Overall, Il Falconiere is far from being deserving of even a single Michelin star and even without it, would not make my list of recommendations. Poor design, bad service and many misses on dishes, especially desserts can be cited as the main reasons.

We stayed at the hotel here, and while I typically don't like doing hotel dinners in Tuscany, we…read morewere excited for the food here, since that's what they're known for, and they have a Michelin star to back it up. I think the food mostly lived up to that hype -- we really liked just about everything we got, and loved certain things. We got the beef tartare, lampredotto, spicy spaghetti, pici, the fluffy frittata, cheeses, and the cioccomirtillo for dessert. The pastas were our favorites of the night (especially the green olive pesto with the spaghetti), and the only thing we really weren't crazy about was the frittata. Overall, very good food for a high price that I think is somewhat justified, but also somewhat hard to swallow when there are so many great restaurants for much cheaper in this part of the world.

From the gracious, welcoming reception staff to the clean, comfortable room and fabulous amenities, we loved our entire stay. Encompassing an organic vineyard, the picturesque grounds also provide a full spa, restaurant and pool among the grapes and olive groves. On our final day here, we were lucky to receive a private tour and tasting hosted by Simone, the on-site sommelier. While we arranged several wine tastings/tours throughout our two week Italy/Spain holiday, this was by far the most special. Intimate and informative with an unbeatable setting (cozy tasting room with intense thunderstorm as the backdrop). We bought a few bottles of the wine (rosé and chianti) at just 7 euros apiece! Out on the terrace, the buffet breakfast was better than many hotels (hellooo, crepes made-to-order!) and the spa was sheer bliss with extremely well priced services. That massage tho. Oh! Also! There are four friendly cats circling around the grounds! It's the best. I can't wait to come back.
