It was so charming! The shower was interesting and you needed extra towels to keep the floor dry, but there were towels. Area was beautiful. A little tricky to find parking and entrance, but easy after the first time.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
In my opinion this property is mis-represented. I believe the description has been updated since we stayed maybe, but I can't verify. It is NOT close to anything and Taxis have a hard time finding it and they are expensive. If you have a car and want a country retreat, might be ok. The ad says "Private/Shared Bath"...what it didn't say is your private bath is on the 1st floor and room is on 2nd floor. We never saw any tennis courts or a cafe/restaurant. We didnt know how to adjust the heating or cooling because we sprak English and owner speaks Italian...kind of hard to communicate. It was cold and warm while we were there and neber could figure out the AC. I asked via expedia messaging but he never replied to that question. The ad makes it sound like an amenity full property, but it isn't. Owner is friendly and tries to be helpful, but it just doesn't meet the expectations from the about and listed amenities. If you want a quiet, country retreat with few things close by and have a car, it would be good for you. My biggest issue is give more details because people are booking your property based on incomplete and deceptive information.

Stay away!

If you’re a family, I recommend you stay away from this place. This is bed and breakfast suitable for single person or a couple who are interested in hiking. The host person is generally nice but speaks no English whatsoever and it’s very difficult to communicate with him. The place is difficult to get to and if you have a car is very narrow entry for parking. The bathroom is almost a closet’s room, with the showerhead extending almost over the basin and you will hit your head against the mirror while trying to sit on the toilet (I’m not even that tall). There is no extractor fan hence the smell was spreading into the room. There is a bathroom window which is high up they and if kept open you would be infested by mosquitoes in the summer. The furniture is old and dated. Breakfast provided was laughable with very limited options and you’d rather get sales own from the supermarket. I guess one could say that one positive thing is the Aircondition unit in the room. You will find way better accommodation closer to Florence with better facilities and even cheaper price. I left after one night. Hotels.com, we were very helpful in getting some refund which was initially refused by the host.

A cozy, home-style accommodation—warm, friendly, and perfectly located in the heart of beautiful Tuscany. Andrea and his wife were incredibly kind and welcoming. I would stay there as many times as needed. Thank you, Andrea, for your hospitality and care. Una sistemazione accogliente, familiare e estremamente amichevole, nel cuore della splendida Toscana. Andrea e sua moglie sono stati gentili e ospitali in ogni momento. Tornerei qui quante volte fosse necessario. Grazie, Andrea, per la tua ospitalità e attenzione.
