We stayed at Villa Lecchi three nights in late October 2021. It was a very nice place to stay in Chianti. The views from the terrace are simply breathtaking! We had drinks there every evening watching the sun drop behind the hills of Tuscany and the staff was extremely attentive and friendly. You get some nice snacks with each drink order and they change every night. The room was nice, clean, and also had a good view. The restaurant was decent as well— we had dinner there one night and the food was good, though not served hot enough. The lighting is a bit bright if you’re looking for something romantic but then again is fine if you’re there with young kids… There is also a beautiful outdoor eating area and pool area with even better views which we did not try due to the cooler weather. There’s a nice running trail in the valley below the hotel and some great roads to run or cycle on. And of course the location is central to all the region has to offer. A very nice hotel that deserves it’s excellent reputation!

A family owned villa in Tuscany, which old school charm. It’s a bit run down but still quite a dreamy location, and could use more service. But nevertheless the hotel grounds offers extensive relaxing spots at the pool or the restaurant. Which actually make it an ideal location for a party! Definitely the kind of place I would love to bring friends to, even if it’s a bit run down. There’s something magical about this place and I hope that it stays a family business in generations to come.

This was my second stay at Villa leaching, 16 years pretty much to the day.
The vistas at this Wonderful small hotel (37 rooms), cannot be missed as something out of a fairy book. Well appointed rooms in a classically shabby chic setting giving a feel of the “real” to confirm the beauty of the “scene.”
Meanwhile, every day is offered a wonderful breakfast buffet included with the room, as well as fresh and well prepared dinner presentations (for an extra tariff), served al fresco or within a nicely decorated dining room. While the Villa also features a spa and a pool.
The Villa is itself about 25 km north of Siena and 50 km south of Firenze (Florence). Meanwhile, at all times we were treated as family. So in sum there could be nothing better as base for your “tour du Tuscany”!

We enjoyed Villa Lecchi immensely and hope to return there again some day. It's a family-run business, and it was so fun talking to the owners. The property is gorgeous with so much rich history and amazing views.

Without doubt one of the favorite hotels I stayed. Excellent hospitality, it's owned by the same family in the last 30 years. It located in the center of Tuscany, in a small village, with wonderful view (12 minutes from the Hi-way) . There is a good restaurant in place.

This place had the most amazing views I have ever seen high up in Tuscany.
We had 2 junior suites which were very spacious and had a spiral staircase up to a tower with views all around.
The breakfast was very good, they cooked eggs to order. We didn't make it to breakfast the day we were leaving but they brought us a cappuccino on the terrace which I thought was a nice touch.
We had dinner here on our second night . I remember the lamb I had was so good. The service was very good too.
I would certainly recommend this hotel.

Villa Lecchi was the PERFECT place to stay in Tuscany!
GROUNDS/AESTHETICS - WOW - Let me start by saying that the photos online don't do this place any justice! Sitting at one of the highest (if not THE highest) points in the area, this property gives you full 360 views of surrounding hills and vineyards. Inside, you'll find original stucco murals on the walls of the bedrooms that are carefully and thoughtfully decorated with antiques. The grounds were very well kept, beautiful, quiet, and peaceful.
STAFF - The property is still family-owned and operated by the descendants of the man who wrote Pinoccho! They are so friendly and accommodating. Upon arrival, they upgraded our room and showed us its unique backstory and design features (it had a Versace bathroom, what?!). Maybe they upgraded us simply because they're nice and it was a slower week, or maybe they pitied me for being 33 weeks pregnant.
FOOD & SERVICES - The breakfast was a huge, diverse spread and it was very delicious and fresh! They are usually closed for lunch, but if you let them know a day in advance that you'd like to dine there, they will open just for you (again, the staff are so accommodating). For the price, the spa services were good, not great (not the standard in most North American spas), but still relaxing and enjoyable.
LOCATION - It's not a far drive at all to Siena, and being more in the country gives an authentic Tuscany experience. You will definitely want a rental car to get around!
