The hotel is situated in a rural location, although there are factories there to. We were very kindly given a room upgrade which was very nice as we stayed with them last year. The room was spacious, well equipped, very comfortable bed and included a kitchen which was very nice to have the use of. All staff were very friendly, helpful and we made as much effort to speak a little Italian, to which I am sure they appreciated. A good location to stay. Ten minutes to the local beach which was nice and a good location to explore other villages and cities, Florence and Siena. The hotel also has a gelateria and wine museum, which is also very interesting. We stayed for one week and there were times that we stayed around the hotel and felt that they needed to provide an outside leisure area to sit and relax in. A pool would also be a great added bonus. The breakfast area was a nice place to sit and the food was adequate and well presented. They have a restaurant, which we did not use as I felt it was not good value with a set price for anything you eat. I am a vegetarian and most dishes were for meat. The pizza restaurant was very good and we both enjoyed this very much. Over all we both enjoyed our stay and will visit again.
