My husband and I have a hard time choosing hotels. We own a tiny boutique hotel ourselves, are fortunate enough to stay almost anywhere, understand that the most expensive place doesn’t always make it the best, and have major fomo, what if we miss out on somewhere? We can confidently say that we have zero regrets with our choice to stay at Casa Newton. What a fabulous experience from start to finish. We splurged on one of their suites, with a private garden overlooking the Tuscan country side. It was a dream. The entire hotel is a perfect blend of funky modern Italian design and authentic quaint warm decor. The staff, is what originally made us choose the place. We called to ask some questions and Carlotta was so genuinely kind that we instantly knew we wanted to stay there. Once there, Martha was the kindest, loveliest human being you’ve ever met. Lots of Tuscan hotels have great style and views but not every hotel has a Martha. She is a gem. The food at the restaurant was incredible, the pool was stunning and our room was comfortable, spacious, and we didn’t want to leave. There are so many beautiful Tuscan hotels to choose from, but you will not regret your choice of Casa...
Read moreWe did not stay Casa Newton, which is a quite beautiful with spectacular grounds as well, but we did have an aperetivo outside (from their lovely bar) followed by dinner at their charming small restaurant, situated in its own building among the gardens. ||The decor is beautiful and inviting, done with flair and taste. The staff is attentive and knowledgable, and the cuisine is high calibre with attention to detail. Portions are not overwhelming, but sized appropriately, and there is ample choice of appetizers, primi and secondi, and they can accommodate both carnivores and herbivores, as you preference may be. In fact, even though not on the menu, they offered us a large salad of freshly picked greens. ||The restaurant is run by a duo of women who are knowledgable and creative, and it shows in their preparations. The menu is of fixed price with 2 options, but a la carte ordering is also an option. Their Fabbrica/Newton Rosso is an easy on the palate go-to wine. ||Dinner for 4 was reasonably priced at approx €54 pp. ||Definitely worth visiting and dining when in the Pienza vicinity. We will be...
Read moreI’ve stayed at many 5 star hotels that were way more expensive & no where close to as wonderful as this hotel. The second you step foot on the property you feel the warmth from every employee, including the owners. The attention to detail for everything does not go unnoticed. The colours and decor of the hotel are INCREDIBLE. Feels so Tuscan while also unique. One specific worker - Marta, who serves breakfast was our favourite. She gave us SO many recommendations when we went in town to Pienza. Where to go for incredible views, shopping, food & so much more. You feel right at home here & I promise this hotel will be your favourite. That’s coming from people who have stayed at MANY 5 star hotels and they weren’t even close to as amazing as this one. So glad to have stayed here coming from Canada & we...
