Nice location, comfortable but a little pricy for a nice but small room.
Pros:

Nice and central

Cons:

The room was smaller than I’d hoped and only had a small window with a disappointing view. I was part of a large group travelling and seemed to pay a lot more than others for one of the smaller rooms.

Odličan hotel i odlični domaćini.
Pros:

Hotel je odličan. Osoblje fenomenalno. Domaća atmosfera. Lokacija vrhunska, odmah pokraj željezničkog kolodvora od kud se može svugdje. Pogotovo je super to jer nakon “napornog” izleta primjerice u Firencu, izađeš iz vlaka i doslovno si odmah u hotelu. Blizina hotela do centra Empolija je nešto malo više od 5 minuta hoda.

Sve u svemu odličan hotel, svaka preporuka.

Cons:

Nemam zamjerki.
