Poggibonsi 748 - Opiniones

We read reviews that the road up the hill to it was hard to navigate. Nonsense! Our only problem at all was trying to find our way to the castle through the one-way streets of Poggi. When we found it, it was SO worth the trouble.

Franchement aucun !

pas de possibilité de manger sur place .mais merci au propriétaire de nous avoir permis de prendre le petit déjeuner dans leur cuisine

Decoration of room inside is ugly...bathroom decoration is minimalistic for such a place, pity. No breakfast service, no internet. Place is a bit tricky to find!

Overall the Castle itself has been modernized but it was not as “elegant” as I thought, bear in mind the history of this castle gores back 1000 years and it is not a hotel. The facilities are becoming a bit dated but everything was functional and well maintained. The A/C unit did not work but there were adequate windows to let the cool evening breezes in. The window screens that were once there were gone, there was one on the bedroom window but it was torn, the only issue with that was a few flies shared our space which can be annoying. The dirt road up to the castle was very steep, long and winding, as it was designed to be to protect the Lord of the Castle. It was not hard to drive on but we did shop for groceries at the end of our day trips and cook in the kitchen as I was not keen on driving up at night.

For those without a vehicle, there is a very steep hill leading up to the castle. Still very cold and wet in late May (unseasonal weather?).

no waste baskets, poor lighting, no soap. Bedspread very damp (probably because the walls are 10" thick). Again, he could do so much more with this property if he paid attention to details.

Schade dass der Pool im Oktober nicht mehr zu benutzen war.

The air conditioner was a little loud (we later figured out it was have been as cool to simply open the windows

les extérieurs sont à aménager, piscine grande mais pas entretenue ainsi que les alentours de la piscine (chaises longues cassées). Il est aussi regrettable de ne pas avoir un service de petit déjeuner.

Poggibonsi itself is not the most beautiful town in Tuscany, but that's fine so lobng as you have a car.

Kitchen small, but produce so nice didn't cook a lot. Were promised a bottle of bubbly as it was our honeymoon but didn't appear, bit hard to find and one way system in poggi a bit confusing,road up to castle was interesting!!

The weather was cold and damp, but the heater was very good.

Nothing really.

Pas de point négatif.

You will need your own transport, e.g. a rental car. Its a long hike from public transport.

Keuken was beperkt qua pannen en materiaal. We hebben zelf nog een grotere pan gekocht.

Geen.

It was very difficult for us to find (even with a map) and we needed help from a local - and even then it was difficult to find.

Proche de la ville et non en pleine campagne, mais isolé sur les hauteurs : obligation de prendre la voiture dans tous les cas (pour aller dans la nature ou en ville).

Ikke noe spesielt. Kanskje litt bedre vedlikehold og noe bedre rydding ger og der på eiendommen.

Lors de notre séjour, pas de petit déjeuner prévu si je me souviens bien mais Nicola est tellement sympathique que cela pourrait être prévu

We were completely pleased with all aspects of our visit to this place. The only negative part of our Tuscany vacation was the the arrival of "tickets" and "credit card charges" for entering a "restricted zone" in Florence. In fact we had rented an apartment inside the restricted zone and had followed instructions provided by this place (nome di un ' altra struttura Antica Dimora Firenze!!!). We parked in the garage where we were told to park and were assured that they would take care of the notices to the police. Unfortunately when the "Notice of Fines" arrived nearly a year later, we did not have the receipts from the parking garage. To this day, I do not know if I can return to Italy without the risk of problems due to this wrongful fine.

The kitchen could do with an upgrade but it was fine really.

You could not book the castle with a credit card when we wanted to make a reservation.

Not a lot of facilities like a restaurant but that is part of the charm.
