The breakfast buffet had expansive options. I saw many choices there! The views of the tuscan countryside were beautiful and the area was very quiet.

The double room i stayed in was small. There was barely enough room to walk around the bed! Also the pool was deceptively small. It did not seem well maintained.

Underwhelming Stay Despite Location

faulty showerpoor isolation

The room was quite dated. The decor reminded me of a throwback. A major issue was the faulty shower. It fluctuated between scalding hot and freezing cold. The noise isolation was poor and I could hear conversations from adjacent rooms. the maintenance left something to be desired.
