Castiglioncello Bandini Trip

Wonderful place to stay in Cortona Great breakfast

Apart from the WiFi sucking and front desk not really knowing much about things like buses or where to get a phone charger, the overall experience was very good, the pool nice and the rooms great too. Restaurant food was high quality. All in all would def recommend if you don’t mind a commute into town which is the price for a nice pool and pretty location. Staff could smile more too … just a suggestion

This is a great hotel for a stay near a city. The staff were friendly and the service was good. Breakfast was well thought out but we feel that the general menu for lunch and dinner needs improvement. The quality of the food we ate there was good though. The gym was lacking, very small. The pool area was a bonus, didn’t struggle to get a sun lounger, would have liked more staff presence here for a five star hotel. We heard that they were short of staff members due to long term illness though. Overall a good experience. The WhatsApp messaging service worked really well for booking gym, shuttle service (a great bonus for the location of hotel).

Completely charming and so centrally located to everything that it was easy to pop in and out of the hotel throughout the day. I had a room on the first floor facing the street and was initially concerned that it might be noisy but it was perfectly quiet and the room was completely dark with the shutters. I also used the gym, which was completely sufficient. Lovely experience and I would definitely go back.

Firstly, all the staff we encountered were helpful, courteous and friendly. Our room was stylish, clean, the little balcony hot but a welcome space and secluded. Comfortable bed, powerful shower. Water included, as well as milk and tea and coffee. Room service every other day and towels were changed then. Location was walkable to all the main tourist attractions, straight road all flat. Lovely little restaurants along the way. Quiet, good breakfast, served 7-11am and you could have an evening meal if required, although we didn’t, preferring to eat out. It was our first visit to Florence and we really loved it. Remember to add on city tax which is approximately £14 per day for 2 people.
