Wine Resort Colsereno

Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed at plenty of places in Tuscany, but Wine Resort Colsereno really gets it right in a way that’s hard to put into words. When you’re driving up that winding road to Podere Colsereno 31 – and yeah, you’ll definitely want a car because it’s about 10 minutes outside Montalcino proper – there’s this moment where the cypress trees part and you see the property spread out below you. It’s not massive or intimidating, just… perfectly scaled, you know? The kind of place where you immediately feel like you can breathe again.

What struck me most was how they’ve managed to feel like a proper wine estate without that stuffy, overly precious vibe some places have. The rooms are in these converted stone buildings that actually feel lived-in rather than museum-perfect. My room had these thick walls that kept everything blissfully quiet – important because harvest season can get lively with all the activity – and honestly, the bed was one of those “sink right in after a day of wine tasting” situations. The bathroom had this amazing rainfall shower, though I should mention the water pressure takes a second to get going in the mornings. Small thing, but you know how it is.

The real magic happens at dinner, though. They serve it on this terrace that overlooks the vineyards, and during golden hour – which in September lasts forever – you’re basically eating inside a postcard. The food is that perfect middle ground between fancy and rustic, like someone’s incredibly talented nonna decided to show off. I mean, the pici with wild boar ragu was ridiculously good, and they paired it with their own Brunello that wasn’t even on the regular wine list yet. The staff clearly knows their stuff about wine, but they’re not condescending about it. They’ll happily explain why this particular vintage works with the pecorino, or just let you drink in peace if that’s your vibe.

Parking is easy – there’s a proper lot right by the main building – and check-in was refreshingly straightforward. No hovering or overselling of spa treatments. Speaking of which, the spa is small but thoughtfully done. I did the wine therapy treatment (when in Rome, right?) and it was genuinely relaxing, not just Instagram-worthy. The pool area gets busy around 3 PM when people return from Montalcino, but mornings are usually peaceful if you want to swim laps or just float around.

If you’re planning to visit, book directly through them rather than third-party sites – they sometimes have room upgrades available, and the woman at the front desk (I think her name was Giulia?) really knows the area. She pointed me toward this tiny enoteca in town that I never would have found otherwise. The whole experience feels authentic in a way that’s getting harder to find, especially somewhere with a 9.3 rating that’s actually earned. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find yourself planning your next trip back before you’ve even checked out.

Reviews

• A treasure where heart, home and heaven meet! – Pia from Germany – 11 July 2025 (10/10)

  From the very moment we arrived, we felt like coming home. This agriturismo isn’t just a stay—it’s a journey into the soul of its region. The owners spark a profound joy for their land and products, and that enthusiasm radiates through every moment spent here.
  
  We are so grateful that we learned so much—about their wine, their food, their craft. Their extraordinary wine left an indelible mark on us: the wine tour was deeply interesting, filled with laughter, stories, and insights. We laughed freely, we learned endlessly—and their passion ignited our joy
  
  The food? Absolutely from another star—every bite shimmering with authenticity and soul. And the place itself is marvelous!
  
  The people are simply lovable. They do everything with all their heart, and that heartfelt sincerity moved us deeply. I literally cried when we left—our eyes welled up, not out of sadness at ending, but gratitude for having found such a treasure.
  
  We feel so grateful to have had the chance to experience this—from their homemade wines and local gastronomy to learning about the traditions and labor woven into every product. We just felt we were in the right place, at the right time.
  
  Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts—for the warmth, the wisdom, the wonder, for making us feel at home. We will carry this memory forever.
  
  What could be improved: Absolutely nothing thing that was not perfect!

• Beautiful and relaxing. – Alvin from United States – 9 June 2025 (10/10)

  Very serene.
  Ate the offered picnic and breakfast both days outside with the amazing view. The food was delicious (thanks Rita).
  Enjoyed our chats with the owners. They were wonderful hosts and very helpful in directing us to visit some of the nearby small towns.
  Both the Brunello and the Rosso were delicious.
  
  What could be improved: We didn’t expect so many of the dirt roads but they were also part of the adventure.

• Exceptional – Jennifer from United States – 25 May 2025 (10/10)

  Such a peaceful wonderful spot, but very close to the main road, you would never know it was so quiet and serene. The staff including Hero the mascot dog were an absolute pleasure. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we could need and want. Breakfast was great and the restaurant recommendations were fantastic. So was their wine! I highly recommend this gem !
  
  What could be improved: Nothing!

• Superb – Suze from Netherlands – 8 May 2025 (9/10)

  Lovely staff and the room was exceptionally clean! Really took care with that
  
  What could be improved: Bed and furniture could do with an upgrade but besides that really clean

• Warm and welcoming Tuscan experience – Paris from Italy – 8 November 2024 (10/10)

  We loved our experience at Colesereno! The staff is really lovely and the place is so tranquil and beautiful! The apartement was comfortable and located right on the farm in s the mids of the hills of Montalcino. We did the wine tasting with Gianni the owner and farmer, he was so fun, passionate and down to earth. The wine was exceptional, we learned so much amongst the barrels, and the cheese board was declicious. We also opted for the picnic dinner, this is the only option for dinner here, and at first we were unsure, but it was perfect!! Being November is was dark and cold out, so we opted to have it in our apartement which was cozy and perfect. They put everthing into an organized basket, all the amazing food was in glass containers, there was no mess, everything was very clean and organized and we were happy to eat in the comfort of our apartment. The traditional tuscan food was hot and absolutely delicious! I am sure it would make for a lovely picnic lunch in warmer weather. We wished we had stayed longer!

• Delicious and Relaxing. Perfect spot to enjoy a nice Brunello and have a break from the cities. – Clarissa from Netherlands – 16 October 2024 (10/10)

  The staff was amazingly friendly. The food was prepared there by the mother of the owner, with a real homemade taste and feel. It was delicious and paired nicely with the brunello. The outdoor spaces were beautiful, relaxing and very safe. The dog – Hero – was also a plus and the pool gave it an extra holiday feeling. The rooms were spacious, clean and authentic. Breakfast was rich and delicious. The tomatoes were just fantastic! We'll definitely visit again.
  
  What could be improved: They don't really offer dinner, but a picnic basket, which is very complete and organised, but you have to eat outside or in your room. They only open the restaurant for breakfast. It would have been nice to have the option of eating in the restaurant, even without service.
