Splendida posizione e personale molto disponibile. Attenzione alla camera assegnata.
Pros:

La struttura gode di una posizione splendida, immersa nella natura del Chianti, con una bellissima vista panoramica. Piscina molto bella e personale estremamente cortese e disponibile. Dopo un problema con la prima camera assegnata, lo staff è intervenuto prontamente e la seconda sistemazione nella dépendance è risultata molto più confortevole e gradevole.

Cons:

La prima camera assegnata, situata al secondo piano e raggiungibile senza ascensore, era piuttosto vetusta, molto calda e poco luminosa, sia per la limitata luce naturale sia per l’illuminazione artificiale. La colazione è buona, ma migliorabile nella scelta delle marmellate e della frutta. Manca inoltre un vero servizio in prossimità della piscina, per cui è necessario risalire fino al bar/ristorante. Non abbiamo cenato al ristorante; abbiamo provato soltanto un’insalata e dei tagliolini, di buon livello ma non eccellente.

Pros:

Un lieu exceptionnel avec beaucoup de charme et des équipements de belles qualités.

Cons:

Malheureusement, la table de bistrot et les petits déjeuners ne sont absolument pas à la hauteur de la qualité du site, peu de choix, produits industriels pour la plupart. Un détail également ; le cours de tennis doit être impérativement nettoyé.
