I have been to tenuta del gelso several times and each time I find it more and more magical. The place is beautiful and you feel transported into the history of this old Palmento. Excellent food and top wine. The rooms are very clean and large and some with a beautiful view. I will definitely be back ☺️

Similar to a farmhouse. The building has a lot of charm and the food is very good.

Even though I stayed just for one night, I had the most wonderful experience @Tenuta del Gelso. Arriving at the property by car was very impressive because of the beautiful fauna. Most of all, I have to point out the hospitality of Danylo, a co-worker at the reception (& a very talented musician, by the way!) - he made my stay even nicer. I would be glad to come again!

Very good location for departure to the airport. Very clean hotel. Huge and beautiful garden, beautiful pool, but plane overhead. Spacious room. Decor style not my style but part of the place. We did not like the meal but for 30€ per person with a glass of wine.. they were also very nice to offer us a glass of wine on arrival and a fruit juice for our early departure as well as homemade pies. 🙏
