We stayed at Antica Locanda for 2 nights.
When we arrived at the door step, the poster indicated to which house we must go to find someone to help us, but there were no one at the house. Then there was a number we had to call, which after a struggle to find a phone, we managed to contact the lady to open the doors for us.
Due to the time it took we got a parking ticket - since no one was there to indicate where the parking for the hotel is.
The lady could not speak english and we had to try and communicate in a very broken French. She took us to our room - which was not the one that we booked. After a heavy discussion (and with language barriers) she took us up to the original - double in size with a beautiful view. At last we got the room that we wanted.
The location is perfect, the view looks like a picture out of a story book and it is very clean with beautiful furnisher.
We were delighted to see we had a kitchen - and went out to buy good quality wine and pasta ingredients for a night in.
Going back to the hotel, we walked past the lady, who pointed to our grocery bag and said something in French about "pay". So we went up to the room, and started reading the notices behind the door and realised we had to pay an EXTRA 20 euro's to use the kitchen! This after we already paid more for a big room which on the pictures shows the kitchen as part of the room. Nowhere is it ever stated that the kitchen facilities must be paid for additionally. Hence, we are suppose to go into the kitchen, eat the very limited "breakfast" put out in a basket, drink our coffee, and not touch anything else. We were very upset with this arrangement.
Antica Locanda is set in a beautiful town, the top room we were in had the most beautiful view over the tuscan hills, but sadly we felt disappointed in the management thereof.
