"Great location with a number of restaurants right outside hotel. Our room was cleaned every day. The train and the bus stop were so close! Very lucky to have stayed here. Our walks to both train stations were scenic, humbling and very intriguing. For everything to that we were able to do because of the location I have nothing but nice things to remember about Toscana...! Grazie mille...! : )"
