A beautiful small hotel in the hills north of Lucca. We loved being at this hotel for the 11 nights we stayed in Tuscany. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, a little idiosyncratic at times but that might have been the Italian way? It seems that most people who were guests stayed only a short time. As we were staying 11 nights we were given an upgrade for our room which was brilliant as the upgrade was from a double room to a suite. We had our own little villa above the hotel with wonderful views and privacy. The hotel is quite remote so be aware. There is a daily bus I think at 9:15am (note daily). Breakfast is 8am - 10am, a selections of bacon, scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, breads, cheeses, meats, fruit, pastries, coffee (the staff will make cappuccino or other variants if you ask). Outside breakfast seating (a lot of wasps) with lovely views. The restaurant is in the breakfast area and is quite expensive and limited and to be honest is not that good food-wise. OK bit not worth the money. There's an infinity pool, again with lovely views, but it's not heated so it was COLD! in September. The Hotel owns a lot of land around it and makes it's own wine and olive oil. the white wine is very drinkable. Overall, a really nice place and we would definitely go back again.
