Such a warm and welcoming environment. Specially because of the kind host, who took such a good care of me and made me feel little home after arriving at her B&B very exhausted and a bit lost as a solo traveler. Thank you for everything and the lovely eggs you made me every morning :) Highly recommended to everyone :)

Super friendly staff. The rooms are large and all different. We got a room named Van Gogh, which is decorated in color and paiting of Van Gogh. Really curious how the neighbour room "Michelangelo" looks like. Good breakfast and swimming pool.

I loved the wise use of all the areas; we had a very nice room that I can refer to as spacious. I stayed at hotels with half the size of the room we had here for a double price. I traveled with my family. My son had a blast seeing the bed upstairs inside the room! He says this is the best B&B ever since he got to sleep upstairs :) It was safe for an 8-year-old, and the beds were very comfortable. The place was very clean, and our room was cleaned if we didn't need cleaning. We were happy with the car park as well. Our room had a view of the yard and the restaurant, but we didn't hear any sound or noise from cars or people. The room was well-insulated, I suppose. We had perfectly calm evenings. Sandro was a wonderful host. He helped us a lot with his route suggestions and nice stories. His cappuccino is out of this world! We liked it so much. He is an incredibly humble person and made our stay an unforgettable experience. We were very well received and felt at home.

It was a spacious and well set up apartment with dual air conditioning in the different rooms. The location was very handy to the train station and the cafe across the courtyard was very very tasty and cheap. The terrace is beautiful and such a nice spot to enjoy in the evenings as well as use of a paid washing machine. The hosts were incredible - such kind and lovely people and very attentive answering any questions or requests we had as well as going above and beyond on our arrival with lovely extra touches.

Really good value for money. Comfortable and very clean. Wonderful stuff members. About 3.0 km from the train station, which makes it ideal to vosotros Florence (about 15 minutes and 2.5 euro round trip). That makes it more convenient than being in Florence itself, since taxis would not take you everywhere at the center... we kept seeing annoyed people carrying heavy baggage by walk at the city center.

Very clean, very neat and amazingly decorated room and dining area. Our breakfast was of our choice and every day it was fresh, tasty and well prepared. The villa itself was at a great location, ideal for evening walks and had an amazing view of Signa. Our host, Irene, was the most welcoming and warm person, so it was a pleasure. We hope that the next time we see each other the printer will still be working! Overall, we spent an amazing time and have left with great memories in our hearts.
