Reviews and Ratings
Staying at La Chiusa was a highlight after exploring various cities in Italy. The rooms were lovely, offering stunning views of the surrounding hills and towns, and impeccably clean. However, some might find them overpriced for what is provided.
My stay at this lovely hotel set in the heart of Tuscany was a bit shabby, but overall very cosy and clean. The rooms, although a bit dark, offered incredible views of the Tuscan countryside. The location was ideal for touring Tuscany, being very convenient to Pienza and Montepulciano. The dining experience, included in our cooking school package, was a highlight of my trip, with fresh and top-quality dishes.
Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms are certainly very nice, each uniquely furnished with elegant touches, though the style might not be for those seeking ultra-modern luxury. The central heating boiler was a bit noisy but didn't overshadow the overall five-star quality. The attentive service and fantastic location near vineyards in Montepulciano make it a memorable stay.
