Charming Stay Near the City Center

helpful stafffree parkingsmall room
The location was a definite plus (it made exploring so easy!). The staff was super helpful with directions and recommendations for local spots. The breakfast selection was quite extensive, including gluten-free options, which i appreciated. I found the free parking to be very convenient.
The classic double room was a bit small. It felt a bit cramped with luggage and for two people to move around comfortably.

Really good stay!

helpful staffrooftop terracethin walls
I found the staff helpful. They offered useful recommendations. The rooftop terrace provided wonderful views over the Tuscan hills. Parking was included, a real advantage. Breakfast included ample choices, like fresh fruit and pastries.
The room walls felt thin, as I occasionally heard noise from adjacent rooms (early morning preparations, for example).

good locationvery good breakfastfaulty air conditioningold building
The location is quite good. It allowed easy access to the city center. I also appreciated the very good breakfast.. the variety was satisfying.
The air conditioning did not work well. the fridge in the room took too long to cool down water. I think the building shows its age.
