“Good to enjoy nature and calm atmosphere”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

The hotel is located in the meddle of nowhere, so that it's absolutely not suitable choice if you want to visit Florence and see attractions (and it's not possible to stay there without a car), while in the same if you are looking for smth to relax, it's a perfect decision. The hotel is in hills with tuscan trees around. All rooms have an entrance out (not in the hall). Our room was quite modern and nice, but nothing special. We used a sauna, it was too late and staff showed how to switch it on specially for our personal use. Free parking is available. The only weakness I could remember, the breakfast. Very poor selection of cold meal.

“Nice location outside Florence”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

Nice and clean. Car is needed, as there's nothing in a walking distance. 20 to 30 minutes driving distance from Florence, in a quiet suburb. Rooms are positioned around a garden, that is a little unkept. Breakfast is very basic, for a 4 star hotel. Nevertheless the waiter is extremely kind, and he does an excellent cappuccino with chocolate.

“Good hotel with a few flaws”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011

person found this review helpful

This hotel seems to be good vale for money as rooms are decent and new but you are definitely required to have a car to move to and from Florence. It will take not less than half an hour form the hotel to Florence city center. Also air conditioning in my room was EXTREMELY noisy and in order to sleep I had to put earplugs. The main road just outside the hotel does not make it the quietest location in Tuscany. The bathroom was apparently clean but as soon as I had hot water running from the shower a distinctive smell come from the walls of the not accurately cleaned tiles. I have a mixed feeling about my stay at the hotel. The location is OK if you want to escape the crowded center of Florence but at the same time a bit too far away and not quite as I expected. On the good side the owner of the hotel was on duty that night and she was quite professional and helpful. Other staff were not.

“Very nice hotel, in central area for sightseeing”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 September 2011

Clean hotel, but could do with a pool. Very peaceful. Need a car to move about. Nearby shopping centre in barberino is very good too.

“Beautiful but isolated”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 August 2011

Location is beautiful, but besides two little pizza restaurants there is really nothing there. Almost every room has a large private(!) garden, but unfortunately it is poorly maintained. Grass is too high, and you can find sigarettes and other waste in it. There are ants in the bathroom, and roosters and geese at the premises next door will surely wake you at 04:00 in the morning. Staff is very friendly, breakfast is great if you like sweets.
