I have only positive comments about this hotel. It used to be a monastery and its set on a hill, surrounded by a lovely, peaceful garden. The hotel surroudings, the building itself, lounges and restaurant are beautiful! There are different types of rooms (we stayed in a basic one), however the view from every room is very nice thanks to the location and garden; the bathroom must have been recently renovated (very fresh), the room itself was a standard hotel room with kettle and complimentary tea, a flat screen tv, AC (the bed and pillow were a bit hard, but they have been in every hotel weve stayed at in tuscany, so it seems to be the standard). The hotel also has a great pool with complimentary sunbed and pool towels. The hotel was also only a short drive from florence and about 30min- 1 hour drive from the chianti wine region. We got a very, very good deal staying at this hotel. The price/quality ratio was superb compared to most other hotels we stayed in, (but then, we didnt pay the normal price). Breakfast was ok, similar to most other hotels in tuscany. We also had dinner at the restaurant (be sure to make reservations beforehand!), it wasnt the best we ever had but still very good! I would definitely recommend this hotel.
