Historic, Amazing Wine and Service
Badia a Coltibuono的点评
点评：In our 20-day vacation in Italy, we chose to spend the last three days at Badia a Coltibuono. We chose BaC for its history and wine, and because they offered a wine tasting session and a cooking lesson, both of which we attended. These were high points of our stay. We also ate two of our dinners in the BaC hotel restaurant. We did some small walks on the paths around BaC, which were lovely.
The high points are the historic building (1,000 year old monastery!), the quiet, the view over the Arno valley, those wine/cooking sessions, and in general the warmth of the staff.
The breakfast each morning was plentiful and delicious, with coffee to order. Another highlight.
The gardens behind the building are lovely. It’s a good place for quiet contemplation.
I can’t emphasize enough how great those wine/cooking sessions were, and how they added to the pleasure of our stay. Highly recommended. The BaC wines are top-notch, and the tour with the history of the property and the wine cellar was terrific. The cooking class was fun, hands on, delicious, and social. Both the tour guide (Claudia) and chef/teacher (Kairen) were wonderful, amazing, warm, fun, and knowledgeable. I wish we could have had more time just to visit, eat, and drink wine with them!
Internet access was surprisingly good, it’s clear that BaC really put effort into solving this challenge.
Other aspects of our stay were not, however, at that same high level.
We visited at the end of October, with warm days and cool nights, and our room was always too cold and damp. Those 1,000 year old three-feet thick stone walls really retain the cold and moisture. The thermostat/mini-split never made the room warm. Our bathroom had a radiator/ towel warmer, and it was the only warm place in the room!
The bathroom was typical of the Tuscan 400-year old modernized hotels we stayed at throughout our trip. So many compromises and odd angles to bring it up to modern standards. The toilet and shower worked great, the sink had pathetic water pressure, but it was all fine.
Our magnificent sized room was just off a beautiful, historic library which smelled of mildew; one would never imagine sitting and reading there. Our room lacked comfy chairs and lighting to sit and read.
In fact this was the biggest complaint/ suggestion we had: there was no place to go in the entire building to read, talk, relax. BaC needs a well lighted, comfortable seating area to read and converse. A bonus would be a fireplace and a bar. We would have lived in that space. There is none.
The hotel restaurant was good. It is in a separate building from the monastery and was closed one evening of our stay. Great service, good menu, and the food was good (not to mention the wines!) Not as good as the best food we had in restaurants elsewhere on our travels in Lombardy/ Liguria/ Tuscany but good. By the way the restaurant has both a fireplace and a bar area, but not a place to hang out/ read/converse. The restaurant bar area was warm and we hung out and read a bit there, but it was not designed as a sitting area /lobby, and it’s a wine bar, not a cocktail bar. So we didn’t last long there.
We enjoyed our stay during the day but not in the evenings. We would recommend it to others for a night or two so a visitor can do the wine tasting and cooking classes, but one need not stay in the hotel to attend.

翻译：在意大利的 20 天假期中，我们选择在 Badia a Coltibuono 度过最后三天。我们选择 BaC 是因为它的历史和葡萄酒，也因为他们提供了品酒会和烹饪课，我们都参加了。这些都是我们住宿期间的亮点。我们还在 BaC 酒店餐厅吃了两顿晚餐。我们在 BaC 周围的小路上散了几次步，非常漂亮。
亮点是历史建筑（1000 年历史的修道院！）、安静、阿诺河谷的景色、葡萄酒/烹饪课程，以及员工的热情。
每天早晨的早餐丰盛可口，还有咖啡可供选择。另一个亮点。
建筑后面的花园很漂亮。这是一个安静沉思的好地方。
我无法强调那些葡萄酒/烹饪课程有多棒，以及它们如何增加了我们住宿的乐趣。强烈推荐。 BaC 的葡萄酒是一流的，了解酒店和酒窖历史的游览也很棒。烹饪课很有趣、亲身体验、美味可口、社交性强。导游 (Claudia) 和厨师/老师 (Kairen) 都很棒、很棒、热情、有趣且知识渊博。我希望我们能有更多时间与他们一起参观、吃饭和喝酒！
互联网接入出奇地好，很明显 BaC 确实努力解决了这个挑战。
然而，我们住宿的其他方面并没有达到同样的高水平。
我们是十月底去的，白天温暖，夜晚凉爽，我们的房间总是太冷太潮湿。那些有 1000 年历史的三英尺厚的石墙确实能保持寒冷和潮湿。恒温器/迷你分体式空调从未使房间变暖。我们的浴室有散热器/毛巾加热器，这是房间里唯一温暖的地方！
浴室是我们整个旅程中住过的托斯卡纳 400 年历史的现代化酒店的典型代表。为了达到现代标准，我们做了许多妥协和奇怪的角度。马桶和淋浴效果很好，水槽的水压很差，但一切都很好。
我们宽敞的房间就在一个美丽的历史图书馆旁边，那里有霉味；人们永远无法想象坐在那里看书。我们的房间没有舒适的椅子和灯光来坐下来看书。
事实上，这是我们最大的抱怨/建议：整个建筑里没有地方可以阅读、交谈、放松。BaC 需要一个光线充足、舒适的座位区来阅读和交谈。如果有壁炉和酒吧就更好了。我们本来会住在那个地方。但没有。
酒店餐厅很好。它与修道院位于不同的建筑中，我们入住期间的一个晚上关闭了。服务很好，菜单不错，食物也不错（更不用说葡萄酒了！）虽然不如我们在伦巴第/利古里亚/托斯卡纳旅行时在其他地方的餐馆吃到的最好的食物，但也不错。顺便说一下，餐厅有壁炉和酒吧区，但不是闲逛/阅读/交谈的地方。餐厅酒吧区很温暖，我们在那里闲逛和阅读了一会儿，但它不是设计成休息区/大厅，而且它是一个酒吧，而不是鸡尾酒吧。所以我们在那里没待多久。
我们白天住得很开心，但晚上就不太开心了。我们会推荐其他人在这里住一两晚，这样游客可以参加品酒和烹饪课程，但不必住在酒店里参加。
