Stay away!
If you’re a family, I recommend you stay away from this place. This is bed and breakfast suitable for single person or a couple who are interested in hiking. The host person is generally nice but speaks no English whatsoever and it’s very difficult to communicate with him. The place is difficult to get to and if you have a car is very narrow entry for parking. The bathroom is almost a closet’s room, with the showerhead extending almost over the basin and you will hit your head against the mirror while trying to sit on the toilet (I’m not even that tall). There is no extractor fan hence the smell was spreading into the room. There is a bathroom window which is high up they and if kept open you would be infested by mosquitoes in the summer. The furniture is old and dated. Breakfast provided was laughable with very limited options and you’d rather get sales own from the supermarket. I guess one could say that one positive thing is the Aircondition unit in the room.
You will find way better accommodation closer to Florence with better facilities and even cheaper price. I left after one night. Hotels.com, we were very helpful in getting some refund which was initially refused by the host.

A cozy, home-style accommodation—warm, friendly, and perfectly located in the heart of beautiful Tuscany. Andrea and his wife were incredibly kind and welcoming. I would stay there as many times as needed. Thank you, Andrea, for your hospitality and care.
Una sistemazione accogliente, familiare e estremamente amichevole, nel cuore della splendida Toscana. Andrea e sua moglie sono stati gentili e ospitali in ogni momento. Tornerei qui quante volte fosse necessario.
Grazie, Andrea, per la tua ospitalità e attenzione.

I gestori sono molto gentili ed accoglienti, la struttura è fuori dal centro, silenziosa ma comunque molto vicina alla tramvia che porta a Firenze, un ottimo compromesso.
Lo consigliamo.

B&b a gestione famigliare, persone gentili e ospitali. Comodo per accedere al centro di firenze e con vicino ristoranti di buona qualità senza avere prezzi eccessivi del centro di Firenze. Ottima la tramvia per accedere al centro di Firenze. Nel contorno uliveti da perdere la vista
