Il Fornacino has an adventurous menu that I was excited to try. Like every restaurant in the area…read moreit offers the traditional Tuscan tagliata di chianina (is there a law?) but there's also rabbit stuffed with veal and truffles and a very on-trend Swiss chard, ricotta, and truffled egg raviolone. I started with the latter, which was delicious -- but the powerful flavour of cheese and the egg yolk drowned out the chard. My wife's potato flan was quite nice, but it arrived buried under a heap of truffle shavings that tasted of nothing in particular. My main was a special of roast suckling pig with potatoes and a savoury tuile made with the pork drippings. The tuile was gratuitous -- a chef-y touch that didn't actually taste very nice. The suckling pig was beautifully cooked but the potatoes were weirdly inconsistent; some crisp and others mushy. Il Fornacino is a good restaurant that would be the best restaurant around in most places, but the five-star bar is set pretty high in Tuscany. But the prices were very modest and the wine selection was great. It's a tremendously good value for what it offers.

This place right here!? Amazing. They don't speak the best english but you will be just fine. If…read moreanything, learn some italian words or use google translate. We came with friends and we were a group of 8. The food was EVERYTHING. Italians take their means serious and boy did we have lots of food. We ordered several first and second courses and not exaggerating EVERY dessert offered and the bill was so cheap! For super high quality. They were super nice and did not rush us out even though we ended up being there past closing time. The grounds are beautiful, it is truly a sight to see.

We arrived at Relais la Leopoldina as guests and depart as family !! We had the pleasure of staying…read moreat the relais for 13 nights and it wasn't enough. Our room had an amazing view ! It had all the amenities required to keep my wife happy for the entire stay. Angela the Chef's wife was a gracious and welcoming host. The morning breakfasts were a very pleasant surpise but then again Walter wouldn't let anything pass out the kitchen door that wasn't great. I love a good omelette and unfortunately very few places do it correctly, when I was served my first Omelette at breakfast I was in heaven !! The entire staff were very helpful and friendly especially Carmen. During our stay we had several romantic dinners by ourselves and hosted two small parties for our local friends. We preferred to dine outdoors and the weather did cooperate. Our guest were extremely happy on the patio with the great food and friendly service. rather than review every dish individually with you , I'll give you a brief description of the cuisine. Walter uses seasonal product sourced in the local area many producers within a 10 minute radius. The menu is constantly changing according to product availability. He then prepares them perfectly being a master chef in the area for decades !! Most of the restaurant customers are locals and therefore it doesn't close for the season like many in the area. Dress is smart casual. My only recommendation is don't pass on the Steak it's a life changing experience !!
