Empolese Val d'Elsa Hotel Guide - Historic Hotels in Empolese Val d'Elsa, Tuscany

"Convenient stay between Pisa and Firenze. Easy to walk to Empoli train station for day trips to both cities. Hotel is clean and quiet despite being on a main road. Breakfast is good and service is fast. Concierge were very helpful. "

"This is a lovely hidden gem in Tuscany. The outdoor view is refreshing and peaceful. The hosts are wonderful; the property was one of our favorite places we stayed. Very comfortable accommodations with a nice kitchen and dining area. Did a day trip to Florence which was about half an hour drive. We could have stayed here longer and been perfectly happy. "

"Lovely location and excellent staff. Restaurant on site is amazing! "

"Unfortunately we had a really unpleasant experience in such a beautiful place. We lived in an apartment right above the party room of the restaurant. We spent there three nights of which two were wrecked by the loud celebration (music and shouting) of parties having fun until abt 2 am (the first night) and until abt 1 am (the second night). After the first night we complained about this and a free dinner was offered to us. This was a quite nice gesture which we were happy for. When asking whether there will be a similar situation with our remaining nights, we were informed that there was going to be people also on the second night but that there would be much fewer of them and that the music would be on the background until 11:30 pm. Unfortunately this was not the case and we had to stay awake on the second night also until abt 1 am. Luckily on the third night the restaurant was closed and we finally managed to sleep one night in peace. All this left a bad taste for this visit and as such we wouldn't dare to recommend the place... so if you are planning to visit this place, make sure that you would not take the 3-room apartment in the 1st floor closest to the parking lot before you make sure that there will not be any parties below that apartment during your stay.
