Ok I normally do not leave reviews and I like to let people find out for themselves. There was dirt and mold above the bed on a picture that they did clean and all I got in return for this disgustingness sleeping in it for two days was 1 free tea. They could have offered one night free for the horrible week old unrefrigerated hard-boiled eggs that were green brown and smelled like fish. I was lied to my face about how they cooked them in the morning and they didn't, everything sat overnight all day under glass. you have to refrigerate eggs!!! Just a lousy overall stay in what should have been an amazing experience because it's a converted convent but that's the best part of it. That room needs to be power washed clean it is filthy! The bathroom however seemed very decent. The room was very very small and right on the highway and the one good part about that was you knew it was time to go to sleep when the traffic died down. I hate to leave reviews and I know this is very negative but this place needs an overhaul!

Buongiorno, la ringrazio per la sua recensione, che seppur negativa ci aiuta a migliorare. Le ricordo però che lei ha prenotato una camera singola con dimensioni ben specificate su questo portale. Non abbiamo riscontrato nella camera i problemi da lei descritti, ma per accontentarla le è stato proposto più volte dalla collega di cambiare stanza, ma purtroppo lei ha declinato la proposta. Per quanto riguarda invece la colazione le assicuro che le uova vengono cotte ogni mattina. Come del resto tutti gli altri prodotti.

Hotel was easy to find. Great breakfast options. Clean room. Hotel advertises air conditioning but it is controlled by staff so room was warmer than preferred.

Decent place, good value. Nice property and excellent service. Excellent breakfast. Only downsides was room got a bit stuffy (didn’t see any aircon?) and we had a couple of pesky mosquitoes, but I understand this is rural Italy so stick by it being a good stay and fine value!

Got shouted at by staff
Last day at breakfast, I cut the tip of the bread and left it there (that very hard bit in italian bread) and continue cutting the "normal" slices. An older man that seemed to be the owner of the hotel saw me and started shouting in italian and pointing at the bread bit. The front desk guy that spoke English came and made it translated that that my behaviour was unacceptable. I packed up my things and left. At the front desk again, I was expecting a sincere apology from the manager, which never happened. To the contrary. He actually told me that the old man is right and "what if everyone cut that bit and left there??". to which my response was: "I'm sure that the bit cost much less than the damage my bad review will cause" I remained calm during the whole episode coz it was so surreal I had no words. so.. thats it.. I really hope this review hurts them.

Dear Mr Fabio, usually we don’t answer to the guests reviews. Everyone is free to express their opinion. But this time we would like to reply to you, because your review is not the truth. - 1 It’s not my fault if In Italy in August is holidays time. Lots of shops are closed and only supermarkets are open, expecially in the countryside. - 2 Our hotel is in the countryside and on foot is far (2 km) to reach the village centre, but I think you took note of this when you made the reservation. - 3 The owner of the hotel and the receptionist have kindly suggested and shown you how to cut the bread. During your stay You didn’t cut the tip of the bread, but from the center and furthermore with bare hands. Not good for hygiene. I think you noticed the special napkin. Other guests have noticed your behavior and have complained of this. Your review sounds like a blackmail, so we will send the practice to our law office to verify if there are any claims for a defamation complain. We are sorry if you are offended, but nobody has ever talked to you or replied so badly during your stay, even during this episode, as we usually do. For us nobody had to apologized to you. We are very sorry for what happened, but as you can see from other reviews, we are not described as you did. Unfortunately for you, your review did not make us angry and for this we hope to have you again as a our welcome guest, so you can change your opinion about us.

We promised to come back and we did. One of our most favourite places to stay. Great place to relax, with pool, restaurant and spa. Very close to the Chianti region and only 5 minutes from a train station to take you to Firenze or Pisa or Siena. Love this place.

Restful break in the hills of Tuscany nr Florence
A very restful time spent in a good hotel with very helpful staff. Gave excellent Italian lessons and had a laugh together. Close enough to Montelupo for a good supermarket and bar and restaurants.

Tuscany for Kings and Queens
If you are looking for a genuine Tuscan experience- look no further. This place has it all. The room is fit for a king with a high ceiling with large wooden beams. Bed was nothing but excellent and you also got complimentary sweets in the room. Bathroom was large and had a good shower cabin. We didn't try the restaurant, but breakfast was great. Some more variety of jams could have been nice as well as fresh fruit and vegetables, but my wife is vegan and she got both soymilk and a salad- although we ordered that in advance. Service was amazing and the guy at the front desk spoke great English.

Beautiful Hotel with history and charm
It was formerly a Convent, first built in the 9th century, complete with church and bell tower.Rooms are modern(renoed 9 yrs ago) and the service is very friendly and charming! Located in the country in a lovely quiet setting.

Everything we had hoped for, we'll be back.
An absolutely wonderful place to stay, just what we had hoped for. The hotel is set in an old monastery / church grounds and although a few km out of town, we used the hotel shuttle. The hotel has modern rooms, excellent facilities (eg pool, bar) and a great restaurant. We loved every bit of our stay, we will be back. Thanks to all the amazing staff at Country Hotel Borgo Sant'Ippolito.

Beautiful Country-side escape!
Went as a couple, we rented a car which we recommend since the hotel is located just outside (about 2 km) away from the closest town. The double room we had was spacious, clean, had fresh towels everyday, and even had a full-sized three-way mirror! The breakfast in the mornings was the same options everyday but always delicious & fresh. We had the pool to ourselves every day during the week which was a bonus! ALL the reception staff were very helpful and friendly with lots of recommendations in the area, one young lady even served us at the hotel bar one night after hours for some birthday drinks before bed - Thank you for a memorable and wonderful stay!

Very fun hotel, out in the country
This was such a fun and cute little place. They have book that shows the history of what the monastery used to look like. One note for this hotel is that it is slightly off the beaten path. You will need to take a train and a taxi to reach it. We thought that the hotel offered a shuttle service to the train station, but upon arrival we found out that we would need to take a roughly 20 euro taxi to and from the hotel each time we wanted to go anywhere. When we first arrived, one of the hotel staff was kind enough to drive over in her personal car and give us a lift to the hotel. The pool was much smaller than we expected (more of a single lap style) but it still felt good on a hot day. This was a very fun place to visit, and they had awesome food. Would defiantly recommend.

Was expecting so much more.
Stayed a week in Italy all over. Maybe I'd got my mind set that this would be the best one of the week and therefore didn't live up to the mindset. It wasn't bad, just wasn't as good as I wanted it to be.

LOVELY SURPRISE
We booked this hotel to visit Florence and we had a great time. We stayed with our one year old and we received no complaints about noise or anything. Our baby bed was set upon arrival and all though the room was very simple and a tad small we had a lovely time. We very much liked our stay. A little advice don't miss dinner at their restaurant their food is awesome.

Really special weekend!
Beautiful location and the staff were amazing! The staff made our stay really special, they helped me plan a romantic evening for me to propose to my girlfriend which will stay with us forever. The location was great, a 40 min drive into Florence and about the same back to Pisa. Would happily recommend to family and friends!

Fantastic place to stay!
We were made so welcome by the staff and they were fantastic with our toddler son. The room was very comfortable and clean, the food and wine was excellent and the shower was lovely and hot! Staff were incredibly helpful and they met all requests and questions without hesitation. Breakfast had lots of choices and the evening meals are great too. The grounds are lovely and it is very picturesque but well located to travel around Tuscany. I would not hesitate to book this hotel again, whether as a family, couple or with friends.

Everything pleasant and ok
Nice set-up, clean and comfortable. Dinner at hotel restaurant very good but quite expensive (one poor waitress was not enough), breakfast a bit on the cheap side, and quite bustling. Location ok, quite room although road nearby, Be aware: difficult to find with google maps, it's not in Lastra a Signa as the address may indicate: It's near Ginestra Fiorentina!
