Val d'Elsa 4 Stars Hotels

"several disappointing issues during my stay. The air conditioning was poor — I had to go to the front desk just to get it turned on, and even then it barely worked. The beds were very hard and uncomfortable, and the room had a strange smell that made it less pleasant. On top of that, the walls or doors seemed poorly insulated because I could hear everything happening in the hallways. Overall, it did not provide the comfort or rest I expected."

"Overall, the hotel was clean with good parking near it. However, sometimes the hot water for taking showers did not work well. Also, the TV inside the hotel is relatively small which I believe it needs to be upgraded. But, if you are planning to visit Italy and not pay much, this is a good choice. It's near Florence (~30 min drive in evenings and ~1hr during the rush hour) with plenty of free parking spots near it. It's placed in a not extremely crowded city (Empoli) which is nice. Rooms where quite and housekeeping did a really good job every day. Another point that I have to mention is their internet. EXTREMELY FAST which is a good thing specially for people who are taking business trips."

"What a lovely stay at a beautiful historic hotel. The grounds are so well kept and peaceful. Dinner was amazing both nights, highly recommend this property. "

"We had a delightful stay. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Jessica! The building and grounds are amazing. Our room was spacious, clean, quiet and comfortable. Dinner at restaurant onsite was also very good. While out of town a ways we enjoyed the 40 walk and climb up to the old walled city."

"Breakfast was fresh and outstanding. Parking very easy. "

"Parking is tricky, but we found a free parking lot close by. Check-in was easy and Livia was a gem full of helpful tips and resources. Check out - the front desk guy wasn’t very helpful. We paid the city tax in cash and wanted our change in coins - just a few coins to use in town- very much needed in Italy and he wasn’t willing to provide coins or even break a ten. He offered no assistance. Overall the room, spa and property is nice. No restaurant during off season, but the breakfast provided was excellent."
