Dinner suggestions and reservations Sightseeing suggestions and maps (although Andrew's handwriting leaves something to be desired) :-) Beautiful grounds A servant's heart in accommodating us Their location (halfway between Firenza and Siena)...

“If only all B&B experience are like this!”

Reviewed April 22, 2012

Extremely clean and tidy house! I don't remember the exact year it was built, but this house has been kept to it's original. It's exactly the way one should experience in Tuscany! The price is reasonable, but the service over delivers! The view is breath-taking and we just wish we have spent couple more days there. I can't say enough... More

I would say that the owner is very helpful and friendly, providing information about the places to dine and also to visit. Torre Di Ponzana I would say is excellent. It has nice view and the rooms were cosy and comfortable. It's really the hard work and detailed services of the owner that I must say that the hotel provides... More
