I moved from L A to Long Island in 1983 and my new wife and I were headed for Florence, but we ran low on gas in this town about noon, so we ate at La Vecchia Cartiera hotel (very good meal), and the proprietor (Sergio) was quite proud of the then-new "old paper mill".he had just refurbished. We acceded... More

We booked this hotel not knowing anything but the general location. The Location is perect for exploring the Tuscany region. Upon arriving we were greated at the front desk by a man with a firm handshake and a great smile. From the moment you step into Sergios hotel it was like being at home. Anything you need Sergio will get.... More

Good points: Very nice rooms with air conditioning and good value for money. Breakfasts had a large range. The hotel staff were helpful, e.g directing us to free parking nearby. Bad points: Wifi only available in the lobby. No laundry service. Not a very attractive, modern building, especially compared to the rest of the old Tuscan hotels you stay in.... More

We stayed here for one night during our trip to Italy, and we felt so welcome right from the word go. The staff were very friendly, and we felt that they were pleased to receive us as guests (rather than being yet another person to check in, as we felt in some of the other hotels that we stayed in)....

We stayed for 4 nights at this hotel after arriving by train from Pisa Airport, to Poggibonsi. We had expected to take a taxi from Poggibonsi station but as it was a Sunday there weren't any, however there is a frequent Bus service to Colle (Siena Bus), which stops directly outside the station. The hotel is quite close to the... More

Of the 7 hotels we stayed at during our trip to Italy, this was the ony one where we were actually showed to our room personally which I felt was a lovely touch. The hotel is a super old building but the rooms do lack a bit of character and are a little bit on the dated side. The bathroom,... More

We spent one night here at the start of a self guided walking tour of Tuscany. Unfortunately our tour paperwork had not been sent in time and the company had arranged to send it to our next hotel. We would have been unable to start our tour without the assistance of the very helpful manager and the staff member who... More

Less expensive than hotels in Siena, and great alternative. Staff is soo friendly. The rooms are pretty basic but clean. Used the hotel location as a base for traveling around wine country and touring different wineries. Awesome location. Hotel parking is relatively inexpensive compared to other hotels and places. Not a luxury hotel by any means but basic clean and... More

We spent one night in this hotel on our way to Montalcino. It is very centrally located and while not fancy it was clean and our room overlooked the "old town" above. The furnishings are very basic and the bathroom modest. But for a one night stay it suited our needs. Included in our cost was a fairly decent breakfast.... More
