    Great stay but very much a 3 star hotel

    rating22 Jul 2025

    Has described in many of their ads there are three star hotel so the rooms are very basic the amenities super basic. The breakfast is great. It’s a good place to stay by location. The staff I give them a five star super helpful, super accommodating really eager to please if you need a nice clean place to stay right in the center of townstaff with people who will take care of you make sure you have a good time. This is definitely the hotel to stay enjoyed it.

    Quite Reasonable Hotel

    rating28 Sept 2022

    A reasonable hotel of modern appearance. Friendly and helpful staff. Reasonable breakfast.Located near restaurants and cafes.It was a long walk through the town as we were coming from Calle de V’elsa .Staff advised us on a lovely river walk out of town when walking to Siena.Room facilities ok.

    Great receptionist. OK room, poor Restaurant

    rating06 Sept 2022

    Like others, we were walking the Via Francigena. Hotel is below the town so a bit of a slog in for sight seeing. Room was fine, but air conditioning weak. The receptionist who greeted us was great. Friendly, efficient and very helpful. She even suggested an slightly alternate route that was great. The Restaurant was very mixed. One of the wait staff was friendly and helpful while the other was diffident at best. In a restaurant with 5 occupied table she served our coffee to someone else. The food was just OK. To give you a sense, the parmesan cheese for pasta and salad oil were served in takeaway packs and we never did receive vinegar to go with the oil, despite asking. Sorry, would not recommend.

    Never to return

    rating07 May 2022

    We stayed one night on a walking tour booked by Camino ways, it was the one place in the weeks tour I would have checked out of were it not for our pre organised luggage transfer. We were given a tiny room that had a joint entry door to another room from the corridor. The doors rattled and it was with a cramped bathroom, chipped bath, noisy plumbing, paper thin walls. The room stank of stale smoke and we couldn’t find anywhere to sit outside our room to relax, no garden or outside space. The smokers hung round outside the front door. The hotel restaurant downstairs inside was awful, we were supposed to be on half board, the fixed menu was all in Italian and the waitress gave us wrong information, we chose chips and meat, no chips available then told we were only allowed to choose one course! Complete farce.The only decent thing about this hotel was the very friendly, helpful receptionist, she was lovely and gave us directions to rejoin the walk in the morning, we couldn’t wait to leave after a noisy, sleepless night.If you visit this town I would recommend staying uphill not down town.

    A Good Stop for Anyone Walking the Via Francigena Path

    rating01 Oct 2021

    This hotel had been booked for us by CaminoWays. Most of the hotels booked by them are very basic. This one, although basic in terms of room, had very friendly staff (as most Tuscans are) and we were pleased to be offered the alternate path along the river the next day instead of using the road to continue with our Francigena walk.We loved the central position and the way we were treated by the staff of the hotel. The staff at the restaurant, however, was quite terrible so I would recommend eating elsewhere.
