Guest Reviews
- GEANE (10/5): Localização perfeita pra quem quer sucesso e ficar num lugar lindo. - Acomodação bem confortável. Café da manhã muito bom. Localização perfeita pra quem quer sucesso e ficar num lugar lindo.
- Federico (10/5): -
- Jacques (10/5): - Le cadre idyllique :vue exceptionnelle sur la vallée du Chianti L'hôte serviable, attentionné. Terasse surplombant la vallée.!!!! Silence absolu
- Domenica (9/5): Sehr schönes B&B an ruhiger Lage - Tolles Frühstücksbuffet, klein aber sehr fein, dazu den wunderschönen Ausblick auf der Terrasse genossen. Sehr zuvorkommender Gastgeber. Ruhige Lage, sehr schöne Gebäude, schöner Garten, etc. Wenn zu Fuss unterwegs: ca. 15 Minuten Gehzeit ins Dörfchen, dort "nur" 1 Pizzeria und 1 kleines Lädeli mit Lebensmitteln und Theke.
- Juan Carlos (10/5): -
- Nina (9/5): super Preis-Leistungsverhältnis - Außergewöhnliche Aussicht und Ambiente. Babybett und Babysitz beim Frühstück wurden uns ohne Probleme zur Verfügung gestellt. + laktosefreier Cappuccino :)
- Danielle (10/5): -
- Helen (10/5): Perfect stay for our first day of walking. - The location Nothing
- Marta (10/5): Idílica, romántica , fascinante - La belleza del lugar, poder disfrutar de la terraza con vistas para el desayuno, la tranquilidad , los paisajes, la piscina. Simone maravilloso Me gustó todo
- Hannah (10/5): Stunning location, friendly owners, idyllic pool! - The location is really beautiful, quiet and idyllic. Perfect for nature lovers and those who prefer a slower more relaxed pace. No fault of the b&b but it is very remote and the buses are infrequent … making it hard to get around at ease. you’d need a car unless you plan to just spend lots of time by the pool. There is a small local town a ten minute walk with a cafe/delicatessan that sells basic food items though which we loved!
- MICHEL (8/5): A recommandé - La cadre Chambre à côté salle petit déjeuner
- Curi (10/5): -
- Angelique (7/5): Mooie plek, prachtig uitzicht met een prima kamer. - Prachtig gelegen, simpele B&B met een prima ontbijt. En vlakbij de historische plek waar Machiavelli zijn beroemde werken heeft geschreven. Dat er niks te drinken was of mogelijkheid voor het maken van een kop thee of koffie.
- Branden (10/5): Short stay in paradise - The property was gorgeous and well kept with amazing views. The host was very warm and welcoming. We enjoyed our breakfast every morning.
- charles (8/5): - Ok Tough to find in the dark
- marigiulia (10/5): -
- Øyvind (10/5): - Fantastisk lokasjon. At det ikke fremgikk mer at dette var et sted uten servering.
- Concetta (10/5): Un luogo di pace immerso nel verde - Posto immerso nel verde e curatissimo molto tranquillo ci ritorneremo presto Nulla
- Jonathan (10/5): Un temps suspendu - Le gîte est tout d'abord très bien situé pour visiter le Chianti et Florence (petit conseil pour Florence garez vous au centre commercial de Ponte a greve et prenez le tramway). L'environnement est incroyable et la vue époustouflante. On pourrait croire que la déco est un peu passée mais moi je l'ai trouvée authentique et cela va très bien avec l'âme de la maison. Tout est très propre et le petit déjeuner est très bon et copieux. Le propriétaire est très gentil et prévenant. Un accueil chaleureux tous les matins malgré la barrière de la langue. Un grand merci pour tout cela. Rien tout était parfait
- maria adele (10/5): Esperienza eccezionale - Accoglienza eccezionale. Lo spazio esterno con piscina veramente eccezionale soprattutto per il panorama. Essenziali per il bagno completi con anche crema corpo. Doccia bella calda. Colazione ben fornita e abbondante.
- Sara (8/5): -
- Bruno (8/5): -
- Dzung (10/5): Nice, comfortable, relaxing stay in Tuscany. - The host, Simone, was very warm, friendly, and accommodating. The breakfast was exceptional with everything you would want/need: eggs, bacon, sausage, croissants, breads, cereal, jams, yogurts, juice, cappuccino, teas, fresh fruits. etc. The location is outstanding with great view of Tuscany rolling hills from the patio. It is also a convenient location for day trips to other towns in the area such as San Gimignano, Monteriggioni, Siena, etc. One suggestion to make the guest stay even 10+ is to upgrade the room amenities by providing an electric kettle, a small coffee pod machine, and a small microwave.

- Mathias GROHMANN (8/5): Historisches Gebäude mit schönem Ausblick. - Netter Service. Die Lage. Das historische Gebäude. Gutes Frühstück. Kleiner Kühlschrank im Zimmer. Sehr hellhörige Räume. Zimmer nicht ganz so sauber. Aussenbereich war noch im Winterschlaf. Die Zufahrt ist recht steil und nichts für ängstliche Fahrer oder tiefgelegte Fahrzeuge da teilen Schotterweg
- Alžbeta (10/5): - We loved the Tuscany atmosphere. The house is a beautiful authentic stone house located in a quiet area surrounded by nature. It was very clean and well-equipped. The place is perfect for relaxing and enjoying peaceful moments, especially in the evening with a glass of wine. We would definitely come back and highly recommend this place.

- Davide (8/5): -
- Sara (6/5): esperienza discreta, ma con margini di miglioramento - Il posto è molto bello e la struttura ha potenzialità, immersa nella natura e in una buona posizione Rapporto qualità-prezzo non adeguato. La colazione, presentata come tipica, purtroppo era composta per lo più da prodotti confezionati o surgelati e non abbiamo trovato nulla di realmente toscano, il che ci ha un po’ deluso
- Claudia (10/5): Weekend di relax - La location immersa nelle colline toscane, la cortesia del personale, la cura del posto. Tutto bellissimo. Piscina immersa nella natura, un posto incantevole e rilassante.
- Nino (10/5): - Amazing view, great breakfast, friendly and welcoming owner
- CRISTINA (8/5): Siamo stati bene e ci ritorneremo 😀 - Posizione, architettura affascinante storica, piscina e la cortesia e disponibilità del proprietario
- Matteo (7/5): Bello con qualche possibilità di miglioramento. - Posizione panoramica. Posto tranquillo. Bella struttura in mattoni e pietra. Camera abbastanza buia. Bagno un po' trascurato soprattutto la doccia. Poca insonorizzazione della stanza.
- Alberto (9/5): -
- Alberto de Argentina (9/5): - Estar en el viñedo de la Toscana, el personal muy amable, la pileta el paisaje la tranquilidad.
- anna maria (9/5): - Tranquillo e posizione con panorama da fiaba Nulla tutto molto belllo
- Diego L. (9/5): Struttura storia accogliente vicina alle vigne. - B&B bello, accogliente e tranquillo, nelle vicinanze di una vigna. La struttura era una delle proprietà della famiglia Machiavelli. Il titolare è molto disponibile e gentile. Ottima la colazione. Piscina. Siamo stati molto bene: ritorneremo. In meno di 10 minuti a piedi salendo la collina (ripida) si raggiunge S. Andrea in Percussina. Nulla.
- Patrizia (10/5): Toscana verace - Location spettacolare, piscina molto carina Tutto bene
- Irene (10/5): -
- Sandro (9/5): - Posizione fantastica e personale molto gentile.
- Valeriya (9/5): Very picturesque place and good breakfast - Very clean historical property were things are taken care of. We enjoyed the breakfast with the view and the hospitality of the host. The standard room is pretty small for that price.
- Martina (9/5): Oasi di tranquillità - Un posto magnifico immerso nel verde e nella tranquillità. Proprietario gentilissimo. La struttura è stupenda e pulitissima. Colazione ottima ed abbondante. Consigliatissimo
- Elisa (9/5): Paradiso di tranquillità - Struttura e posizione meravigliosa , piscina bellissima e rilassante Nulla
- Gary (10/5): Great luxury villa with amazing staff and views. - The pool and views are amazing. Nothing. I everything was great
- Remco (10/5): - Prachtige omgeving waarbij firenze, pisa en siena niet al te ver weg zijn. Ook is de gastheer een blije verschijning
- Devin (10/5): -
- LANDRY (10/5): Séjour très agréable, hôte sympathique, petit déjeuner au top, proche d’un très bon restaurant. -
- Gunnar (9/5): - Väldigt fint litet B/B. Trevlig personal. Mysig pool. Bra frukost!
- Barbara (8/5): -
- stefy (10/5): -
- Maddalena (9/5): -
- Louis (9/5): Good to chill and escape from tourists - The view and location The pool The room No possibility to buy drinks/ food Few information regarding restaurants, how to get to Firenze
- Scanu (9/5): Piacevole e lo consiglio senza esitazioni. - Colazione ottima, la posizione bellissima, ma un filo difficile da raggiungere con una moto stradale grossa e pesante come la mia. Per l'inizio della strada, una decina di metri in brecciolino, le forti pendenze e il parcheggio all'arrivo non segnalato e in pendenza (se ti sbagli e vai pochi metri troppo avanti ti tocca chiedere al proprietario della casa in fondo il favore di aprirti il cancello per girare la moto verso monte) Niente di particolare, ho solo suggerimenti per piccoli dettagli. Oltre ad aggiungere un cartello di segnalazione del parcheggio, ci sarebbero da togliere alcune erbacce cresciute tra le mattonelle della piscina (lato valle) e da rimettere a posto un paio di mattonelle staccate sempre dallo stesso lato. Sempre nella zona piscina aggiungere uno o due tavolini con sedie e ombrellone: non a tutti piace stare sdraiati. E infine pulire dal calcare il rubinetto basso della doccia piscina.
- Åke (9/5): - Fantastisk utsikt över Toscana, vi kunde gå ut på en stor terrass och äta frukost. En bra pool med solstolar intill som vi nyttjade flitigt. Det fanns en bar men den verkade inte alltid vara tillgänglig, hade varit gott om man hade kunnat köpa något drickbart.
