I spent a pleasant day in absolute peace in a really beautiful place where everything was taken care of down to the smallest detail! The town is really pretty and the walk through the vineyards of the estate was very nice. Really a luxury relais at excellent prices! I highly recommend it!!!! Their wine is also very good

We stayed here for the second time for two nights in early September 2024. The first time was in 2018. I must say that while it's still a boutique hotel, the passage of time and the need for some improvements and maintenance are already noticeable. The beautiful gardens seem a bit neglected today. To save your super complete and high-quality breakfast, the service is excellent.

We stayed at the Tenuta Santa Caterina relais, unfortunately for only one night. An exceptional place, very kind staff and super hospitality. We concluded with a tasting and visit to the cellar. We congratulate Jessica for her great professionalism and competence in telling the story of the estate and its wines. We will definitely be back 😍

Splendid location to spend hours of tranquility in a breathtaking landscape of rolling hills. Guided tour of the enchanting estate first of the exterior and then in the cellar and then finish with a tasting of excellent wines in the former stable rooms....don't miss the grignolino🍷

We stayed here on our honeymoon and absolutely loved it. The welcome was warm and friendly (once we found the door!) and the team, namely Georgia and Jessica, couldn’t have been more helpful. Our wine tasting and tour was informative and personal, in a stunning setting and we were touched by the consideration of the environmental factors of their practice and venue. Delicious wines, wonderful room and breakfast. We wouldn’t hesitate to rebook or recommend this place!
