We loved our corner room and the patio overlooking the medieval village and Tuscan countryside, a million dollar view! The breakfast was nice, however, getting our car up to the hotel was challenging. Also, there was unpleasant smell coming from toliet, we notified staff, but it continued through our stay. Overall, we would stay there again!

You couldn’t find a more beautiful location! Only downside is when taking luggage it’s a long haul of up and down hills with great inclines. The elevator from the parking lot was out of service……climbing over 40 stairs straight up carrying luggage was quite the job. Then another 10 minute walk up hill to the hotel. Once there it was well worth it! Views stunning choices of restaurants and stores were amazing and the views unreal

This was a lovely hotel located right on the square! It had beautiful views and was located very conveniently to all the historical sites and delicious restaurants. The drive to the hotel to drop off our luggage was very difficult but we made it and the parking was convenient. We loved it here!

Great location. Comfortable and clean.

A comfortable, clean room in a great location. The shower was the only thing not so comfortable. Very small and a rain shower straight down or a powerful wand shower which was difficult to manoeuvre in the small space. But, lots of hot water was good.
