I applied on the internet for a room and got no reaction at all, so thought there was nothing. On my return I realized that E440.00 had been deducted from my credit card. I have tried all avenues to get my money back without any success. Not even any rection at all! more

I had arranged a stay for our family of eight (two single children and two adult children with spouses) at what appeared to be a spectacular property near Florence for a very good price. Here is a summary of our experience. First, let me say it is farther from the center of town than described and was a sixteen euro... more

My boyfriend and I stayed for 2 nights in March 2008. We forgot to check reviews for the villa and just looked at Villa Ulivi's own website and booked our stay through hotels.com. We got a great deal 70euros/night. We arrived around 9pm on a friday the owner showed us to our room which was in the adjoining building. We... more

There were no windows, only two small, dirty skylights, a badly stained carpet, cobwebs, squashed & bloody mosquitoes on the walls, dirty reading lamps, insufficient coat hangers & no in-room facilities for making tea or coffee. Our bathroom... more

The good thing about the villa is that you are let in and left alone to do whatever you would like. The people there just really don't notice you which i figured... more

I booked my stay through the Agrituruismo website where properties are listed by location and a number rather than by property name. I paid in full in advance of my stay via the Agriturismo https page: (E 80 per night for a single person B&B) The villa is located on the very outskirkts of Florence. The bus journey is 20-25... more

Yes, it is definitely amazing view. Yes, no service at all. Many people wrote about it - I just want to tell a short story. All our first night the broken fax at the lobby was bleeping and bleeping, very loud, every fifteen seconds. In the morning I asked to do something with it - ok, the guy said, and... more

The people that are complaining about creepy iron gates and the owners are probably the same people that say that Italians eat that nasty raw pork thing called proschitto or something and are sad that they can't find a decent fried chicken in Italy.
