My experience at San Ruffino was quite disappointing. The location was ideal for attending the Andrea Bocelli concert, but the property itself is in dire need of maintenance and updating. The pool area was neglected, and the quality of service left much to be desired. I also found the dining options lacking, which detracted from what could have been a lovely visit.

Staying at this castle resort had its ups and downs. The location is absolutely stunning, and the castle itself is charming, providing a unique atmosphere. However, the accommodations didn't meet my expectations in terms of cleanliness and amenities. Additionally, the dining experience could use some improvement, especially with breakfast options not being included in the stay.

Staying at this castle resort was an experience like no other, with charming decor and stunning surroundings. The staff were exceptional, especially in accommodating late arrivals and making excellent local recommendations. However, the room we stayed in had some cleanliness issues, and we faced challenges with basic amenities like hot water and noise disruptions from events. Overall, it's a unique place worth visiting, but be prepared for some quirks.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience for me. The building is stunning and has so much potential, but the service left a lot to be desired. While the breakfast offerings were decent, I found the overall service quite lacking, especially during early mornings. The location allowed for easy access to nearby attractions, but I struggled with room cleanliness and amenities. Overall, the charm of the place came through the facilities, but it felt like they needed more attention to detail.
