We liked everything, but there are a lot of home cats in the castle, so if you are allergic to cats or don't like cats, take it into account.

Wow, I even don't know where to start describing our experience. It was one of the best places we visited (and we travel a lot). The castle (yes, you actually sleep inside a castle) is located in a very nice and quiet place. The host traveled a lot (really a lot, more than most living people) around the world and has a lot of artifacts and albums you can check, which is super interesting. The breakfast was the best we have eaten during all our visits to Italy (7 days) and the home pets (including the donkey near by) are improving significantly the experience. We very Highly recommend this place and we are giving it 10/10.

This really is a B&B about which there is nothing negative to say.

Beautiful B&B in a beautiful castello. Nice rooms, good beds, beautiful views, nice swimming pool. The delicious breakfast is provided by Dita (thank you for the service Dita). You can use the kitchen and the refrigerator. In short, a nice place for a luxurious and carefree holiday. And yes, it is a bit remote, but every town has its gems and you can enjoy a nice walk at the dam nearby. And the owner also knows great restaurants. Thank you Catharina for this and also for the nice conversations. We will definitely come back.

Nothing, it was really great.

Caterina, was a lovely host - very open, very flexible, very fun to talk to. The place is wonderful, with an amazing view over the valley and the ride up there is super fun. Also amazing breakfast with the softest scrambled eggs I've ever had.

Everything was just perfect! The castle itself, the views, the swimming pool area. If I could rate it as 11, I would definitely do. Decorated with love and taste, it is sooo cozy! Pure tranquility and aesthetic pleasure. Highly recommended.

I liked everything, I guess if being picky, would have liked softer pillows for me.

The location was stunning! The interior of the Castle was very beautifully narrated. I wish we stayed there longer and I had chance to explore each room. The view from there was breathtaking. I loved everything about it.

This was an absolute gem of a find, the location is serene, the house is beautiful and full of wonderful things to look at, including a piano which I very much enjoyed having a little play at. Caterina is an exceptional host and made me feel so welcome, and also helped me with my travel plans. I will definitely return. Thank you so much.

This hotel is such a gem. Caterina is the most lovely host. The location is stunning. It is so relaxing. The food is delicious. I cannot wait to come back.

The perfect retreat. Tessara is a tiny hamlet of two dogs and three old people, who half heartedly bark at you as you pass (the dogs or the oldies - depends on the heat). But this place is so special the fact that the nearest anything is a 10 minute drive really doesn’t matter

If you ever had a rich and slightly batty aunt who lived in a big house full of amazing things, you will recognise Il Castello di Tessara. Caterina is your aunt, and her house is amazing! The breakfast was superb - best in a long time. Eggs from the house chickens!

this is really a minor thing gut Service wasn’t as present as it could have been. everybody was very very kind tho and if you’re okay with getting up to get your own coffee (which we were 100%) then it’ll be your perfect stay

the property is exceptionally well kept and groomed. The place is very romantic and has a lively vibe to it. the rooms are very pretty. the area is quiet and comfortable like we wanted.

Caterina was very fast in responding to questions and requirements before and during our stay. She advised on our request for restaurants in the area so we could get our bearings before arrival.

Beautiful setting, being sat in the outdoor courtyard. Breakfast consisted of some very nice pastries/jam, with a few extras like yoghurts/cereals/fruit/juices/coffees etc. available.

Wifi is very faint, but that is the point. To put your phone down and escape :)

I don't have enough words to explain how wonderful Castello di Tassara is. I almost don't want to comment so I can keep it for myself :) The property is incredibly restored by Caterina, our excellent host. Every detail is so well considered, the taste level is exceptional. I really loved every part of the house. It felt truly like home. The pool is such a great addition and it is set in gorgeous mature gardens surrounded by rolling countryside.

Breakfast was a little poor but nothing to complain off.

Quiet beautiful area. The most impressive at the place is the refined decoration, quality and natural scent of the place. It is the perfect place to be for a relaxing holiday, away from the city.

Although was great seeing cats at the properly, the number of litter trays throughout the properly meant that the whole house smelt really strong of cat urine and faeces. We are cat lovers but if you aren’t then this would be an issue.

Beautiful area and views across Tuscan hills. Just what I had in my dreams about iddilic Italian authentic location. Thankfully the owner spoke English which was ideal for us. We got an accidental upgrade as the maid hadn’t clean the intended room which was meant for us which was great for us! It felt very exclusive, only two other couples there when we were. The room was grand and bed was very very comfortable. We had a great meal at a restaurant called Olmo which was 5 mins from property which I would highly recommend. We had fab breakfast the next morning which was fabulously presented also.

Cleanliness was so-so but I understand the whole vintage-authentic thing going on. No other info about the place and our stay, just the wifi password (wifi is average). Beware, cell service is very limited here.

Included breakfast was fine, the location was excellent but expect bad roads to the location. The room was HUGE for two. Loved the authenticity of the place and loved all the cats there. Franca was very nice and accomodating.
