San Miniato Basso Vacation Rentals

"The check-in reception staff were excellent—efficient, welcoming, and professional, setting a strong first impression. Unfortunately, the breakfast experience fell significantly short. The staff appeared stressed, disengaged, and at times discourteous. The buffet was closed approximately 10 minutes before the stated closing time, which was both unexpected and inconvenient. On a Sunday, when breakfast was scheduled until 11:00am, an elderly guest seated at 10:46am was abruptly told, “it’s all closed.” Similar interactions with other guests reflected a lack of attentiveness and basic hospitality. The overall quality of the breakfast was below average, and the service experience reinforced the impression that guests were more of an inconvenience than a priority. Even simple requests—such as asking for paper napkins—required repeated follow-ups and long waiting times. Additionally, the absence of soap/ shower gel in the bathroom was a basic oversight that just adds to annoyance. The room itself was acceptable—clean, but nothing great. The thermostat was funny or a dummy, I am not too sure. Overall, while the reception team performed well, the poor breakfast service and lack of attention to detail significantly impacted the stay. Based on this experience, I would recommend choosing a Hilton Hotels or Marriott Hotels property instead. The service standards and overall experience here have unfortunately left a lasting negative impression of the Novotel. #NeverAgain "

"Great"

"Absolutely stunning scenery with beautiful rolling hills and surrounding wineries. Friendly and helpful staff. Seems to be family owned. If I were to suggest some areas of improvement, maybe the shower stalls can be cleaned more thoroughly. Breakfast varieties could also do with some expansion. But in general it was a wonderful stay!

"We booked this hotel because it said they have airport shuttle and it is 10 min away from airport since we are leaving early in the morning, however there was no shuttle service, although they will help you to call car service. So I felt this info was incorrect and misleading. We had to take taxi into center of Florence and took taxi back, we would booked other hotel in center of the city. Other than that, People were nice , we have no other issues. "

"Breakfast is included and phenomenal. A/C is not on yet so turn off heat and ask for a fan."

"Breakfast was very good, simple but good. Bar? Didn’t see one. "

"Great stay. Highly recommend"

"All good"

"It was perfect accommodations , the staff was extremely kind and helpful for anything needed and the facilities were exceptional . They took their time to help me with a small explanation when i inquired about my final billing and cleared up any confusions i had in a timely manner without delay via email . Would love to revisit and will be telling friends and family of our experience . "
