Morellino di Scansano Wine Area, Tuscany hotel rooms at the Independent

"Beautiful hotel. Great food. Nice staff. Beware of the location…. We arrived by train and was forced to get transportation to the hotel which cost us 200 euros. The hotel is 45 minutes from the train station and it is a ghost town. There are no taxis available at the train station. Make your arrangements before arrival. "

"We absolutely LOVED this property. It was very unexpectedly modern inside. Lots of storage, very clean and very comfortable. Morizio was a fabulous host, kind, helpful and informative. We would love to go back. Very close to the Saturnia Hot springs which was amazing!"

"Everything was 5 star. It’s like living in a castle in the sky with hot thermal pools everywhere and amazing food. We loved our outdoor patio with the sunset view of the panorama."

"This is a beautiful property with an excellent restaurant. One of the best meals we had on our trip. The facilities are well maintained and clean. Would highly recommend and hope to stay there again! "

"The room was fabulous as was the staff. Francesca helped out at the front end suggesting great places to visit nearby. Samantha was the best! She served us breakfast with a smile every day but the one day she was off. She also served us drinks up by the pool. We loved staying here. The spa was closed for maintenance so we only were able to test it out our first day in. The pool was so beautiful but we wish it had been heated. It was very cold!"

"The outstanding location of Hotel Torre di Cala Piccola is what makes it incredible. From swimming in the private cove to having cocktails while watching the sunset, to the staff anticipating and providing for our every need. We had a wonderful stay."

"Extremely good value older style property in excellent condition. Location is close to everything in the area."

"Il Pellicano is a dream. The property is stunning and exquisitely maintained. The views are breathtaking. The staff is most gracious. The perfect place for a peaceful and restorative getaway. We tried both dining options for dinner--the informal as well as the Michelin-starred dining room--and both were excellent. The latter was one of the best meals we've ever had anywhere, and we're serious food people who live in New York. We'll be back."

"This is such a beautiful place in every way and we always love it here. Everything is very special and it is wonderful to spend time in this tranquil setting. "
