Guest Reviews
- Christian (9/5): - Einfaches Zimmer; etwas hellhörig aber sehr schöne Aussicht nach Westen!
- Paola (10/5): - É stato tutto davvero bellissimo. Arrivate da una tappa del pellegrinaggio sulla via del Chianti fatta completamente sotto la pioggia e con il freddo, siamo state accolte in un ambiente caldo e pulito. E la disponibilità di Elisa ci ha fatto sentire davvero coccolate. Super!
- Nicolas Alexander (8/5): -
- Leo (9/5): Palazzo prezioso - Stanza ampia con una bellissima vista sul centro della cittadina. Materassi e cuscini molto comodi e cucina funzionale
- Tiziana (10/5): -
- Dahiana (2/5): Pésimo contacto con el cliente - Habitación acogedora Pésima atención al cliente . Intenté comunicarme con el alojamiento antes de mi llegada para hacer una consulta a través de booking y por WhatsApp, nunca me respondieron . 45 minutos antes de la hora del check in me enviaron las instrucciones para ingresar. Ni siquiera pidieron disculpas .
El baño es extremadamente incómodo .
- Adrianna (9/5): -
- Matteo Mazzini (8/5): Ambiente confortevole e - Posizione ottima a circa 5 minuti a piedi dal centro del paese
- BELINDA (8/5): - Une cuisine très bien équipée !
- Marco (9/5): Buono qualità prezzo - Pulizia e posizione Muffa nella stanza e scuri che non oscurano la stanza
- Yellow (9/5): -
- Nina (9/5): - The location is convenient to explore the city, within walking distance. Room was spacious, also with an extra bed, everything was very comfortable. The only challenge was the parking, as there is no designated or reserved spot, however, there is plenty of spaces next to the graveyard.
Shared kitchen was a definite plus, if we were staying for more nights, I also appreciated self check-in with the code on the door.
- Sharon (10/5): I enjoy the tranquility here and simplicity of the check in / check out process. Great place. - This was my second time staying here and I chose the same room. It's quiet, in walkable distance to the "centro", the Coop for groceries should you need any, and restaurants nearby. The view from the room's window is towards the town with plenty of olive trees and the wonderful sounds of birds early mornings (see photo). It has a full kitchen so if you want to cook your own meals you have the option. My only wish is that the room have full mirror and a shelf in the shower for toiletries. Everything else was great.
- Matteo (10/5): Soggiorno perfetto! Personale disponibile e gentilissimo, camera pulita e posizione ottima della struttura per visitare -
- Luca (10/5): - ottima pulizia, camera spaziosa. Prezzo ottimo. Una zona tranquilla immersa nella natura.
- Nicolo (8/5): -
- Eleonora (5/5): - La camera molto accogliente con tutto il necessario (frigobar, wifi, asciugacapelli, appendiabiti, televisore con netflix) La camera è sulla strada e purtroppo non è specificato e nelle foto non si nota questo particolare però il traffico non è eccessivo e gli infissi sono buoni quindi non si sente il rumore delle macchine.
La camera che abbiamo preso noi era piena di muffa, manca un appendi asciugamani in bagno e purtroppo abbiamo trovato il bagno non pulito.
Un’altra cosa che non mi è piaciuta è il fatto che la camera si chiuda con una chiave Passepartout e questo non mi ha fatto sentire sicura nel momento che siamo usciate a cena
Tutte cose risolvibili
- Ilaria (9/5): -
- Prainito (10/5): - Our stay was great! Clean room and quiet place, would definitely stay again.
- Giovanni (10/5): -
- VERONICA (1/5): -
- Filippo (8/5): -
- Anton (10/5): Preis Leistung Top! - Geschmackvoll eingerichtet
- Jacopo (8/5): Bello se in macchina e se si vuole stare fuori dai centri urbani principali - Bella struttura nella campagna toscana, comoda e curata, minima interazione con personale, tastierino per l'accesso e facilità di parcheggio in zona. La doccia nella camera era un po' pericolosa, un gradino in cotto da scendere, ho rischiato di cadere entrambe le volte, forse una striscia in gomma potrebbe un po' migliorare la situazione. Il bagno (ed in generale tutta la struttura) è ristrutturato e moderno e molto carino, tutto fatto con buon gusto
- alberto (9/5): -
- Raffaella (10/5): - Ottima struttura, stanza molto ampia, super pulita e confortevole Cuscini
- Giulia (10/5): - La posizione super comoda e strategica per visitare il Chianti -
- Maria Chiara (9/5): -
- Conti (10/5): -
- Leoni (9/5): -
- Vittorio (8/5): -
- Andrea (9/5): -
- Danilo (8/5): -
- Wilna (10/5): - Was a great stay thanks, had the place to myself so a little quiet, but I loved that I can cook a meal and enjoy a wine. Host was also great on messages and the phone
- Mara (10/5): - Its a wonderful tuscan house with breathtaking view over green fields. We got a tiny room for two people with shower. -
- Pan (6/5): Fair value for a comfortable stay - Nice apartment, nice decor! Bathroom is too small and on street parking was too risky
- Andre (3/5): -
- Katharina (9/5): -
- Sarargn (9/5): - Tutto bello, casa accogliente arredata molto bene in un borgo che ci è piaciuto molto. Check in rapido e staff gentile e disponibile Consiglierei una maggiore attenzione alle prese elettroniche, sono da sistemare
- Martina (8/5): Camera accogliente e pulita, ottima posizione - Camera accogliente e pulita, dotata di aria condizionata, Wi-Fi e smart tv. Proprietaria gentile e disponibile. La struttura è dotata anche di un'area comune e una cucina. La struttura si trova in un'area tranquilla, poco rumorosa e vicino al centro di San Donato. Il bagno era un po' piccolo e non c'era posto per appendere gli asciugamani. Il letto non comodissimo e i cuscini molto duri. Alcune prese elettriche non erano fissate correttamente alla parete e rischiavano di essere danneggiate attaccando e staccando le spine.
- Rachel (10/5): -
- Leo (10/5): Perfect spot for a Chianti getaway - Convenient location to explore Chianti pretty much in the center of Florence, Arezzo and Siena. The wonderful hostess knows the best wineries nearby and is very easy to communicate with. Fair warning, the single room is tight and there are a few awkward steps throughout the building. Not really a minus, just difficult when you’ve been exploring Chianti properly
- Daniel (10/5): -
- Ksenija (10/5): -
- Ana Carolina (10/5): Recomendo 100% - Conforto da cama e espaço novo é bem decorado . Local calmo e com vista incrível. Bem limpo.
- Claudio (10/5): - Struttura arredata con gusto, tutto pulito, comunicazione veloce e senza intoppi con l'host. Posizione strategica per raggiungere varie località. Consigliatissimo!
- Sara (9/5): -
- Martine (10/5): Mega fijn appartement - Supermooi appartement, smaakvol ingericht en fijne sfeer. Dichtbij dorpje met voorzieningen. Gastvrije hostess. Kortom heel fijn! De kussens zijn enorm dik, maar dat was echt het enige
- Inês (10/5): Gostava de voltar - A casa é muito bonita, com todos os adereços necessarios. A 10 min a pé do centro que tem 2 ou 3 restaurantes e 1 supermercado. O sonho da Toscana!
- Georgia (10/5): -
- Stefano (10/5): Ottimo soggiorno - Struttura appena ristrutturata, con ottimo gusto, silenziosa, comoda per un tour della zona del Chianti. Ottima la possibilità di usufruire della cucina (anche se a noi non è servita) Unico neo, bagno un po’ piccolo senza bidet
- Tove (8/5): -
- Lorella (4/5): Casa carina ma con barriere architettoniche. La scala. d’accesso stretta e ripida, struttura inadatta prr persone anzian - Non saprei che dire. Letto scomodo, bagno troppo piccolo,pulizia solo se richiesta, asciugamani insufficienti.
- Adriani (9/5): - Il silenzio, l'accoglienza della casa, la camera tripla molto grande e tranquilla, la disponibilità della Titolare. E poi il luogo (San Donato) che è magico. E l'occasione (Chianti in Musica).
Ultima, ma molto importante, l"ospitalità verso la nostra cagnolina Alcuni piccoli dettagli perfettibili nell'arredo, che so verranno risolti.
- Maria Danai (10/5): - Πολύ όμορφο το δωμάτιο και γενικά το σπίτι. Η τοποθεσία ήταν βολική αν θέλεις να επισκεφτείς διάφορα μέρη στην περιοχή του Chianti (αποστάσεις 15-25λεπτα). Το San Donato είναι εύκολα προσβάσιμο με τα πόδια.
- Alicia (10/5): Lovelly rural experience - Everything -
- Margherita (5/5): -
- Éva (9/5): Csodás volt, bármikor visszatérnénk szívesen! - Szuper helyen van, csodás a kilátás! Nagyon tiszta, rendezett, hangulatos, otthonos. Nagyon pici volt a fürdőszoba, nem tudtuk hova tenni a törölközőket.
- Rebecca (8/5): A lovely, quiet sit to relax and recoup for journeys through the Chianti. - We made a late booking at La Bugia Del Sensale after a long, hot day driving through the region on our motorbike. Elisa was lovely and looked after us, sending all the information through straight away. We were able to park out the front and check ourselves in easily. The room was comfortable and clean. It’s a good base to explore the Chianti region from. San Donato is a tiny town in itself, but there are a couple of nearby food and drink options. We found a pizzeria 5 mins away that is staffed by volunteers and raises funds for the local soccor team. Simple but tasty. Take care using the shower - it’s a large step up and easy to flood the floor if the door opens while in use. Great pressure though!!
- Stef_hu (8/5): Big room with great value for Tuscany - We stayed in the triple room.
-Room was very big
-Newly renovated and clean
-comfortable bed
-Big shared space on the first floor and shared dining table on the top floor with a well-equipped kitchen
-great price/value for the area
-the house is located beside a road, but the window of our room faced the back of the building, therefore it was quiet
-Supermarket very close by, lots of nice places to visit in the area (by car) -The bathroom itself is a bit small, shower is good size but the toilet and bidet are small and tightly fit
-curtains were missing, seemed like the bar was broken but not replaced
-parking situation was a bit unclear. The host told us we could park beside the church. However, there were signs saying it's private property and an old women approached us saying we can't park there. The hoat insured us, it's OK. The situation felt a bit unclear though.
- Svetlana (9/5): Superb -
- Ivanna (8/5): Very good - The owner speaks English super well
You have a code on de door so you can check in late.
It is close to the small city and big shop with food
The room had everything I needed and nice view The shower was really small and difficult to use without getting everything wet
- Simona (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dejan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dezman (9/5): Superb -
- Rômulo (9/5): Superb -
- Sofja (10/5): Exceptional - I was very happy with my stay at this place. Very cozy, clean, and with a comfortable bed. I slept very well here (usually it's hard for me to sleep in a new place, but here it was perfect). It’s very quiet around. I liked everything. The hostess was super friendly and was always in touch if anything was needed. Thanks to this place
- Joanna (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice room with an access to fully equipped common kitchen. Really comfortable beds. We had a very nice stay. Grazie mille! Any towel hook in the bathroom would be handy.
- Tereza (8/5): Very good - The atmosphere of the house was so toscanish ❤️ The interiors were beautiful.
Comfortable equipment.
Fresh water in the room. Little equipped kitchen, messy neighbours - staff doesn't stay in the house so the dirty dishes stayed there overnight.
The terrace is opened to main road from one side - less private.
- Birgit (9/5): Superb - We really enjoyed our staying in La Bugia del Sensale. Everything was exactly as promised, even much better. Property was very clean and comfortable, quick communication with owner, property has everything that needed.
- Karl (9/5): Good accommodation for groups and couples. - Overall very nice location, clean, good to stay there as a group. Small bedroom is a bit tight.
- Villoresi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Aldis (10/5): Highly recommended, fantastic! - Highly recommended! The apartment was very clean and tidy, and we felt very safe. They are in a very beautiful location and everything has been thought of, there is a kitchen and a lounge area both indoors and outdoors. Parking is available nearby. There is a town nearby with accessible restaurants. A very beautiful interior! Everything was perfect!
- Clara-felicitas (8/5): Very good -
- Marijan (10/5): Perfect stay in Tuscany - Perfect! Very nicely decorated interior. Many nice details. Spacious and comfortable.
Nice and easy communication with the hosts.
- Giovanni (9/5): Superb - Nice and finely decorated house, conveniently located to explore Chianti, to get to Siena and Florence. The host was extremely friendly and professional. Excellent value for money. Minor detail, but the bathroom in the smallest room would need some hangers and shelves to make it more practical.
- Kateřina (10/5): Tuscany as it should be ♡ - Landlady was so nice and kind! Comunication was super quick and easy with her. The accomodation was clean and had everything we needed. You can also use the kitchen! And the view was spectacular, loved it!
- Rebecca (10/5): Great Accommodation in a Beautiful Area - The bed was super comfy! Decent size room and ensuite with good access to facilities.
- Wout (9/5): Very nice stay for a good price - Very nice apartment in a beautiful area. Good facilities, including a full kitchen, living room and outdoor sitting area. The room was nice and clean with a comfortable bed. The bathroom was nice but the very slippery shower at the top of two steps felt a bit scary. I can image that this wil be a challenge for some people to shower here.
- Gabriela (8/5): Very good -
- Nilufer (9/5): Superb -
- Maria (10/5): Better than expected, warm and pleasant! - Very cozy and organized place. Close to many vineyards in a very peaceful location.
- Christina (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely room. Comfy bed.
- Babouk974 (10/5): Wonderful - Decorated woth taste, a fine blend of modern and traditional.
The room is very confortable, and the access to common area is a real plus when you're travelling around Toscany.
The communication with the host is good, she take good care of your need during your stay !
I recommand this expérience 100%
- Lena (10/5): Exceptional - This place had the most comfortable and cosy bed ever, my mom is now even thinking about buying a matress like this for home. Also she loved the pillows (and she usually travels a lot and with her own pillow)
The room is decorated so nice with so many little details, and the room is also very spacious.
The communication with elisa worked super, very flexible for check in and always answered all our requests immediately.
The shower was great with nice water pressure, parking easy and close, and there was an amazing restaurant just a few minutes away of the apartment on the top.
If i will be back to this region i would definitely be happy to stay at la bugia del sensale again!!
- Merle (9/5): Superb - The place is so beautifully decorated, clean, and the apartment really well located. It was truly such a pleasure even when the days were rainy. The room we stayed at had the window right to the street with the traffic light, meaning unless the curtains were pulled there's not much privacy from the road and the light flashes to your room 24/7.
- Andrea (8/5): Very good - Amazing modern house, clean and very quiet place. I couldn't meet the hots but she tried to help as much as she could, they have a warm floor that was so nice to walk on even at night time and a nice size TV for the room with Netflix on it that for us was a plus as we were walking all day long and it was nice to have something to watch, specially for my partner that doesn't speak Italian Nothing much to be honest, we have been there just to sleep so we didn't have much time to look around
- Ray (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent property with very helpful host.Beautifully fitted out with full kitchen and utensils.
- Ella (9/5): Superb - Stunning property with great views Would be hard to access without your own transport
- Amy (9/5): Superb - Great location, easy directions, lovely view from the room. Everything was easy to find and use. Excellent shower. Super comfy bed. The towels were quite tiny - but maybe people usually bring their own?
- Ramona (8/5): Cosy room directly at Via Romea Sanese - Very cosy furnished room and common areas. Easy Self-Check-in. Free Coffee. Quiet, nice view. Directly located at the Via Romea Sanese. Too high pillows, bed was squeaking with every turn you made.
- Michael (9/5): Superb - The host was very kind such as the cleaning ladies! The room was quite small, but very comfortable, clean and quiet!
- Bruno (9/5): Superb - Lovely place with a lot of charming. You can notice that the owners tried to renovate the place but at the same time they kept the original soul. It’s good if you plan to spend a couple of days. A bit noisy because it’s close to a road. The kitchen could be better equiped.
- Noam (9/5): Superb -
- Sean (10/5): San Donato stay - The house has everything you need. It is well decorated, clean and the beds are comfortable. Location is good. Walking distance to the village. Great value for money. Friendly host. Nothing
- Boglárka (10/5): Exceptional - very kind owner, beautyfull home.

- Maayan (10/5): The host was lovely and helpful , the place was especially clean and welcoming. The bed was comfortable and overall it h - It was extremely beautiful
- Lila (10/5): Exceptional - This was the higlight of our trip in Tuscany. We loved the small village of San Donato with its unique atmosphere and beautiful views. The appartement was superbeautiful with many small details and the most confortable beds. I hope we can return once in the future and stay longer.
- Daria (10/5): Exceptional - We enjoyed our stay a lot! The host Elisa was very nice and helpful, she recommended an excellent vinery and a restaurant nearby. The house is excellent, true Tuscany style, well-decorated with a lot of attention to the smallest details. There is a spacious living room on the ground floor with a small terrace, the rooms on the first floor overlook olive groves and the views are just breathtaking. Highly recommended! Everything was excellent!
- Matouš (9/5): Superb - Great location and communication with the owner. Grocery store is just around the corner and it is close to Panzano and other villages.
