We stayed here for two nights after spending five days in a villa in Gaiole in Chianti. Coming here was like a breath of fresh air. The hotel is right in the centre of Pontedera, a gorgeous quaint town but full of hustle and bustle at night. Outside the hotel is a huge beautiful waterfall and opposite is a HUGE church! You can just hear the bells riniging through the day which is great to hear. When we first walked into the hotel we all said "Wow!!!". The entrance, lobby and sitting rooms are so so gorgeous! It is defdinitley the most gorgeous hotel we have ever stayed in.
We booked a triple room, and when we got here we were put in a double room. So spoke to man on reception and he got us a triple room within five minutes. The double room has a huge superking size bed, a gorgeous dressing table with a mirror and two bedside tables. Then there is a beautiful bathroom with bath and showe, sink and toilet. The room isn't huge but big enough. The triple room however is big. There is a entrance way with double mirrored wardrobes, and the room has a really comfy sofa which turns into a bed, the most comfy superking size bed, with cotton sheets and lots of pillows. There is a dressing table, mirror, bedside cabinets, two big windows for a view into the side street. The bathroom has a bath,shower, a double sink unit, toilet, bidet, a shaving mirror and socket and a little hairdryer. All the rooms have air con and a safe. We stayed with our 1 year old daughter and we asked for a cot, which was in the room when we got there and looked brand new. Sheets are changed daily and the staff speak good englush and are very friendly.
Breakfast is continental with lots of yummy pastries, cakes, biscuits, bread, cheese, meats, cereal, fresh fruit and drinks.
The town is literally outside your door, with little cafes, ice cream shops and little boutiques.
The BEST hotel and mini break we have ever had! Mrs Graves

This was a stopover, hat an amazing hotel in a wonderful area..the lobby as amazing..the town is a gem, I highly recommend this hotel....

The decor of this hotel is quite striking, particularly in the details of the rooms and lobby areas. Entering the lobby, you find yourself in a lush haven of old world elegance, tastefully appointed and exquisitely comfortable. Staff are friendly and accommodating, able to speak English and other European languages as well as Italian. The rooms are quiet and modern and the complimentary continental breakfast fresh and bountiful, with fresh fruit and pastries, excellent espresso drinks, and attentive service. Definitely one of the most elegant European stays I've ever enjoyed!

This wonderful hotel provided a super base for our trip to see Andrea Bocelli in concert in his home village Lajatico. I was very impressed with every aspect of our stay and would rate this hotel very highly indeed. The staff were extemely helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them to do for us.
The hotel is a lovely building ideally placed for transport to different places of interest to visit in Tuscany. We hired a car for our trip and parked it safely in their underground garage for a modest fee. The railway station is very close for transport to lovely places without the hassle of parking at the destination.
My three friends and I were totally enchanted by this great hotel and will be going back for further forays into lovely Tuscany.
