The Club House

Hotel Description

You know what? I’ve stayed at my fair share of Tuscan hotels, and The Club House on Strada Provinciale 9 completely caught me off guard. I mean, when you’re driving through Castelnuovo Berardenga – honestly, most people just pass through on their way to Siena – you don’t expect to stumble onto something this polished. The address sounds a bit industrial, sure, but once you turn into their driveway, it’s like entering a different world entirely.

What really struck me was how they’ve managed to feel both luxurious and genuinely welcoming at the same time. The staff actually remembers your name (not just for the first day, either), and there’s this easy sophistication that doesn’t make you feel like you need to whisper or worry about your kids being too loud by the pool. The rooms – well, they’re exactly what you’d hope for in a place with a 9.8 rating, but it’s the little things that got me. Fresh lavender from their garden on the nightstand, windows that actually open wide to let in those incredible Chianti valley breezes, and honestly the best shower pressure I’ve encountered in Italy. The whole place smells faintly of rosemary and that particular scent of old stone that’s been warmed by the sun all day.

Here’s what I wish someone had told me before I booked: this isn’t one of those places where you’re fighting for pool chairs or dinner reservations. It feels intimate – almost like staying at a friend’s incredibly well-appointed country house, if your friend happened to have a professional chef and housekeeping staff. The surrounding area is perfect for morning walks (there’s a little church about ten minutes down the road that most tourists never find), and you’re actually close enough to both Siena and some of the smaller hill towns that day trips don’t feel like a production. Parking is effortless, which anyone who’s driven in Tuscany will appreciate, and the evening quiet is something special – just cicadas and the occasional church bell from town. If I had to find fault with anything, it might be that the place is almost too relaxing; I kept planning to explore more of the region and ending up reading by the pool instead. But honestly? Sometimes that’s exactly what you need.

Reviews

• It was the best two days of my life. – Sam from Australia – 20 June 2024 (10/10)

  Everything. The people, the service, the facilities, the rooms and the attention to details.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing.

• Perfecto – Jordi from Australia – 4 May 2024 (10/10)

  Probably one of the most iconic stays I’ve ver experienced. I’m fairly sure they read your mind and know what you want/need before you do. Exceptional would be an understatement.
  
  What could be improved: That it was raining which was out of the control.

• Ein fantastisches Erlebnis – gerne wieder! – Katharina from Germany – 21 August 2024 (10/10)

  Es war alles in allem ein wunderbares Erlebnis vom Aufenthalt im Hotel, dem fantastischen Essen im hauseigenen Restaurant, dem Frühstück und dem gesamtem Service.
  
  What could be improved: –

• einzigartig – Thomas from Austria – 26 July 2024 (10/10)

  Freundlichkeit Personal, Sauberkeit, Lage, Architektur, gesamte Anlage Garten, Restaurant, Rezeption, sehr gepflegte Hotelgarage, Zimmersauberkeit, man kann nur staunen……, 10 Punkte reichen nicht, die Skala für das Club House ist nach oben zu erweitern, dann sind das 15 von max. 15 Punkten auf der Skala

• Séjour de rêve avec très bonne cuisine – Jean from Belgium – 29 July 2023 (9/10)

  Petit déjeuner à la carte, restaurant gastronomique exceptionnel ainsi que le restaurant de l'hôtel Fontanelle, l’osteria Tuscani est un cran en-dessous malgré les prix pratiqués
  Le personnel est très serviable
  L'hygiène est impeccable
  
  What could be improved: Le sommelier de l’osteria pousse un peu trop à la consommation
