This hotel is very old and the rooms are super dated. The pictures shown in Expedia are misleading. The lobby itself is high on the second floor and you have to climb 20 high steps with all your luggage to get there. Our room was given even higher on the third floor which was another 16 high steps. When we informed them this could not work because we have multiple bags they told us there is no elevator. We asked to cancel our reservation and they told us they have no control because it’s through Expedia but if Expedia asks to cancel the hotel will approve the cancellation. One week later, after multiple requests to cancel by Expedia on my behalf the hotel has refused. If you are a solo adventurer then maybe this property works for you but please don’t go here as a family. You will lose your money and peace of mind.

My first impression was that the hotel was a little old and dated but I very quickly fell in love with it. This is not a luxury hotel but I don't believe it should be and it wasn't what I wanted either. It is very traditional and it is probably the most charming hotel I have ever been at. The owner and his family run the place, they are so lovely and went above and beyond to make sure I enjoyed my stay. At first I felt a little forced to go the roof top terrace and drink a beer... I would have regretted it, if I had not gone because a quick beer turned into a 90 minute affair, the view is wonderful and the air up there, incomparable.
I was then somewhat forced to go have dinner at the restaurant located downstairs, in the same building as the hotel, (they are not affiliated by the way, so if you want to book a table, you must do this directly with the restaurant). I also have no regrets taking their recommendation because eating there, is as much an experience as the hotel itself. Food was delicious and the owner and staff were really good fun. This is a very popular place by the way, so booking is important.

This family owned and operated B&B was a favorite on our month long trip. The rooms are quiet and comfortable and the roof top terrace is the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine or spritz. Breakfast buffet is very ample and the breakfast room very cozy. The adjacent outdoor restaurant next door was very nice to walk right next door to. It all feels very family like. We’d recommend and hope to come back.

It was a real treat to stay at this hotel and we'd recommend it wholeheartedly. The family who ran it were friendly, efficient and extremely helpful. We were helped in arranging a visit to Florence by bus from the nearby square, given times and could purchase tickets from the reception. The hotel was full of old fashioned charm especially the breakfast room and there was a wonderful terrace with great views of the town. It was very easy to park in the adjoining squares. The room was comfortable and clean and the breakfast buffet provided was excellent.
The hotel was excellently located to explore Tuscany and after the crowds of San Gimignano and Florence it was good to stay at a much quieter town. We'd like to stay again sometime.

We stayed here 16 years ago, and came back because we loved it. The same wonderful family is still in charge and it’s still fantastic. I highly recommend staying here.

Charming family run hotel--father and sons. Thomas and Matteo were friendly, personable and eager to help us make the most of our stay. Thomas even came out to help us in with our luggage when we arrived late at night. Nice, simple breakfast included. Beautiful rooftop terrace. Needed to go out to our car to get something late after the front desk was closed. The lobby was dark and the front door was locked. Could not figure out how to get out without causing a stir, so we just waited till the morning--but felt a little trapped at the time. Nevertheless, would definitely stay again.

The family that owns and operates this charming hotel and restaurant are truly outstanding individuals who go far beyond what is expected of them to make guests feel like they are also part of the family.

Very nice place to stay near Firenze or to begin a tour in the Chianti Region. The Hotel is very clean and confortable and the Becucci family, owners of Hotel Bella Vista Impruneta, are very warm and kind people.
