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).

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.
