  : Fantastic dinner, one of the best meals I've had in Tuscany; delicious homemade pasta, excellent meat course and very good red wine. Highly recommend to eat here if you stay
  : Our room was a bit small but functional.

  : Mirela and her family were so lovely and wonderful! This is a bit of an odd review and I feel bad giving it, because they were so kind and welcoming to us, sitting with us at dinner to share recipes and even offering free cantucci! We loved the chance to meet them, even though our Italian is terrible (we're so sorry!) and Mirela speaks very little English, we were able to communicate. It felt like staying with someone's family and it was such a lovely experience.
  : Unfortunately, this wasn't as advertised. We arrived during the busy Sunday lunch hour and there was a large event going on at the restaurant, so the owner's son checked us in quickly but didn't have much time to greet us. The room is very basic and insects get in, so be prepared with mosquito repellant. The shower is designed to splash through the whole bathroom. The advertised swimming pool was not open yet for the season, and there were really no other facilities onsite. Also, we had made a reservation for dinner at their onsite restaurant, hearing the rave reviews. At no time, from weeks ago when we reached out to reserve to even during the day when we checked in, did anyone tell us the restaurant was closed on Sunday nights. They opened specially for us, but it was a bit awkward and we weren't given any choice of what to eat. The food was delicious -- amazing homemade pasta -- but we never got to see prices, and were a bit shocked with the high price of what we got charged the next day -- easily double what we've paid for any other meal. Breakfast was very simple, just coffee and cake, and the owner's son had to come serve it special for us because we were the only guests. He arrived late and we were left wandering around looking for people when we had to be on the road early for our next destination. I wish there had been better communication about the fact that they were closed Sunday nights; if we'd known, we would've happily eaten elsewhere. It was nice of them to accommodate us but really unnecessary.
