Agriturismo La Canonica

Great resturant with good service. Nice pool area with two pools. Free parking. WiFi was not fast. I hope to comeback later.

Where do I start. It was idyllic, quaint, quiet, picturesque, food to die for and nothing was too much. It is perfect if you want to get away from it all. My partner and I went for dinner one evening and we fancied some real Italian pasta and my partners favourite is Carbonara. So even though it was off the menu, they served us exactly what we wanted. It is on a winery so every night we were up until the early hours with 4 bottles of wine, waking with no hangovers due to the lack of sulphates in their wine. What more could you ask for. I would say that there was no air conditioning but don't bother us too much and they were closed on the Monday evening for dinner (we didn't know about this until we got to the restaurant, but then you could say that was partly our fault). I JUST LOVED THIS PLACE!!

Basic facility which suited our needs. Swimming pool and surroudnings were nice.

Llegando al hotel mi esposa tuvo una emergencia medica que me obligo a regresar a Espana para su valoracion y solo permaneci una noce de las 5 que tenia previstas y pagadas. Y han pasado 10 dias y no me han podido solucionar la solicitud de devolucion de parte del pago realizado.

Leider Wahr dieses Hotel nicht toll ,kein Zimmerservice vorhanden es wurde auch nicht informiert,das WCpapier musste selber geholt werden ect. Das Pool war mit Putzschläuchen, Maschienen voll wir konnten nicht baden.Die Terssen waren schmutzig und der servic unfreundlich. Wir würden dieses Hotel nicht mehr besuchen!!! Pferdehaltung ist unbefriedigend sehr traurig.

We loved this place! We rented the room with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. It was huge. It is out in the country, but a 5 minute drive to the train station that takes you directly to Florence. My sister can't eat wheat and they provided very nice alternative for her for breakfast. The dinner we had was amazing. They have 41 beautiful horses and you can get a lesson. The staff was fantastic!

En trevlig lägenhet med bra personal. Vackra vyer och att bra ställe att göra utflykter ifrån.

The facility is beautiful. The views, pool and grounds are lovely. You can get to the chianti region and many medieval towns within 1.5 hours. The train to Sienna and Florence is only 10 min away. But, you must have car to get anywhere. And, the taxis overcharge. So, take my recommendation and rent a car in Certaldo (the nearest town).

Double booked on arrival did not make for the most welcoming start to the trip. 2 v tired and hot children and lots of huffing and puffing from owner. Eventually shown to a room (which was not 2 bathroom as we booked) very nice furnishings, comfortable beds, plenty of towels, v clean. Breakfast adequate and a welcome inclusion, pools v nice. Horses looked v well cared for and restaurant looked great too (we did not use) Great farm stay.

My review for La Canonica is a little mixed. Location in the Tuscan hills just outside Certaldo is perfect for a centre based holiday in Tuscany as most major sights are less than an hours drive away and the grounds were beautiful including the horses. We stayed for 2 weeks (family with 2 young children) so we would sight see 1 day and relax by the pool the next (1 large pool and a shallow 1 for the little ones which was great). One thing I didn't see on any previous reviews and people should plan accordingly is that on Sundays all the locals come and literally take over the pool area so don't expect a quiet relaxing time. The best food we had on holiday was at the on-site restaurant with great personal service. The 1st week we stayed in a 2 bed/1 bath apartment, but the living space was cramped, so we changed to a 2 bed/2 bath. The beds were really comfortable. I think it's because of the horses, but the number of flies around was incredible and it was a fight between trying to keep the apartment cool and minimising the number of flies getting in. Our only major complaint about this holiday is that for 4 days the majority of the apartments were occupied by young British adults who had come out to Tuscany to celebrate someones 21st (need I say more) and so we had 4 nights of very broken sleep as the acoustics of buildings meant you could here everything. Management didn't control this. They should either have made it exclusive to them or let other potential guests aware.
