Excellent customer service and breakfast. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Rooms are huge with AC. Signa train station is 5 min drive and there is a large public parking near by. We parked there twice and no issues. Signa is really small station and has train to SM Florence(Firenze) every 30-45 mins..Receptionist will give you train schedule as well.

Very isolated area, not happy
I have given a month to leave a review due I have mix feelings. This place was listed with a picture of a big building however when we arrived: the only space where the rooms are is a small house that was aconditioned, if you like rural houses and old, you will feel comfy however I am a city person and this is way too small, also I was not comfortable with the location, is in the middle of nowhere the nearest mc donalds seems to be 3-7 miles away thru very odd roads, to get there was a big hassle, and there is no security after 8pm so you feel very isolated

Very disappointing location
Breakfast is not all in an entire stay, people also looks for safe roads to park, security, and shops that are nearby. This is in the country side which is nice but is extremely far from anything, very dark place after hours, I paid almost $500 for staying 2 nights and felt it was a nightmare. I could hear neighbors and the place was almost empty

We had the most relaxing holiday - the room, pool, gardens were all excellent. The breakfast and staff were amazing - they couldn't do enough for you and always friendly. Everything was wonderfully clean and well looked after. What a setting - wonderful! Peaceful ambience. If there was a restaurant on site too that would have been a bonus-we went out most nights for dinner but the hotel recommended some great local places so that was good.

Four night stay while on our honey moon- Canada
We stayed here 4 nights while on our honeymoon. Upon our arrival we were greeted by the manager, Alsandro, who was wonderful at making us feel at home, he has a very good sense of humour. He even gave us a free upgrade. The room was very clean and roomy with all the amenities. The buffete breakfast was fantastic with enough selection and variety of foods. The two ladies at beakfast were top notch, always going out of their ways to make sure everything was right and they were always cheerful. They even packed us a breakfast to go on our last day as we had to leave early to catch our train. The other two ladies at the front desk were fantastic, helping us with directions, dinner options and sight seeing recommendations. The dinner at the hotel was terrible and was over priced, stick to the local restaurants the front desk staff recommends, food there is reasonable and delicious. Only downside to this place is that you need a car, as nothing is within walking distance. I would definitely stay here again. Only 20 minutes train ride to Florence from Signa train station.

Quaint hotel in liovely area
Really enjoyed our 8 day stay here. Travel to Lucca and Pisa about an hour by car and Florence 20 minutes. A car is a must as the hotel is quite isolated. Our room was spacious and comfortable if some what old fashioned . Breakfast was included and it was more than adequate. Only two complaints, AC was very very noisy so I would suggest a good pair of ear plugs for sleeping and wifi was hit and miss .

We had been travelling around Italy, and this hotel was to recuperate for 2 nights before we set off again. Perfect relaxation. The staff were very friendly and helpful. My only issue was if you didn't eat at their restaurant, the choice round and about was limited.

Embrace tuscany
If you rent a car in Florence and just want to get out if the city, this wonderful hotel is only 30 minutes away but feels like you are embracing Tuscany. The rooms and grounds are beautiful. I had one of my best Italian meals in the restaurant for a modest price. The staff is the very best, speak English and incredibly helpful all with grand warmth and heart.

Central location for Florence, Pisa & Luca
Our stay at the villa was excellent. Initially we were upgraded to a family room as we stayed for 5 nights. However, it is on 2 levels with the main bedroom on the top level and the bathroom on the lower level. This was not suitable for us so we asked if we could be reverted back to the room we initially booked which was the double comfort room and that was not a problem at all. Breakfast was delicious and the staff cannot do enough for you. There is a restaurant independently run at the villa where we enjoyed dinner one nigh more for convenience than anything else. The best of all was a ristorante/pizzeria in Signa recommended by the staff that had fabulous wood fired pizza, spaghetti and unbelievable T-bone steak to die for - and the price was so good and so cheap for what you receive but you have to drive to Signa, too far too walk. We went twice! The only down side of the villa itself was the traffic noise mainly in the morning. You had to close the windows and the aircon was far too loud to use, incredibly noisy. Being a few kilometres out of town you really need a car to go out for dinner. They do offer a shuttle to the train station for a small fee.

Great location if you travelling by car. The hotel gives you a real Tuscan feel and the ladies serving breakfast were wonderful. Alessandro greeted us and made our arrival very enjoyable. He is an asset to the hotel with his charming character and sense of humour. The restaurant at the Villa is a short walk away and the meals were fantastico.

Perfect!
The manager, Alessandro, made us feel like very important guests as soon as we met him. His main goal was to make sure we had nothing but a perfect stay. The breakfast is incredible with a selection of food that was not missing anything. You can eat breakfast on the outside veranda bordered by a perfectly manicured lawn and the pool beyond bordered by a privacy fence of evergreens. So relaxing you never want to leave to explore Tuscany. Our only wish was that we could have stayed longer. We plan on returning!

This is what all Tuscan Hotels should be like
What a fabulous hotel to stay in. Our room was a split level townhouse style - bedroom upstairs, living area & bathroom downstairs. The staff on check in made us feel very welcome & explained the procedure for breakfast. On our first morning the Manager, Alessandro, went out of his way spending 10-15 minutes with us & showing us on the local map where to visit, what was worthwhile & what was not - it was like having your own personal tour guide! The hotel is a couple of Km outside of a town called Signa & just 1km away from an old Etruscan tomb (which you can visit from 9-2 each day). Plenty to do in the local area as well as throughout Tuscany. Florence is only 20 mins away - Alessandro suggested we take the train into Florence & we are glad we did as we didn't have to worry about traffic or parking. Best of all, it only cost 5.20 Euros return each & he even had tickets at reception, as well as explaining what train to catch & how to use the tickets! We will definitely be back!

Finished to a very high standard this hotel was a revelation! Everything about it was spot on! Room was actually a suite beautifully decorated. With a superb restaurant - the service in both excellent. This was an over night stay on our way home but would definitely return just for a weekend break.

Enchanting villa near the train to Florence
We were greeted by the friendly Stefano upon arrival, and were given an upgraded room! The room was a two level apartment with a living room, dining room, kitchen, with an upstairs bedroom and bathroom. It was slightly dated but very comfortable and had charming beams on the ceiling. We loved it! The breakfast was extensive and delicious and the coffee was wonderful! We ate dinner two nights in the Villa, and both proved to be some of the best meals we had in Italy - and at a more affordable price tag. The hotel is about 2 km from the train station, and parking near the train station is free. We felt the hotel was an incredible value, had great staff (Alessandro and Stefano especially), was comfortable and convenient, and we would highly recommend to anyone visiting the Florence area and Tuscany.

What a great place
This Villa that was built more than 400 years ago and since been renovated is truly a beautiful mansion worth staying a s a base for visits to Florence, Sienna, Pisa, San Gimignano and other great locations in Tuscany. We never seen staff so friendly and they gave us excellent advice, maps and tips on where to go, park, eat and visit in around the Area. Their main restaurant is top notch and their breakfast buffet was the best of our whole 21day visit in France and Italy. Highly recommended and we'll definitely go back.

Staff was super friendly and helpful. Fantastic buffet breakfast. Good restaurant on the estate. Got upgraded to a suite (downstairs/upstairs), large rooms. Parking right on the premises and included. 17 min. train ride to Florence, buy ticket at the front desk. Nice pool but did not use it, a bit too cool. Buildings would need some cosmetic updates.

Our 3 Night Stay
It appears the hotel accommodation is NOT in the big stately building that you may see. Instead in buildings near the entrance (the restaurant building is closer to the house). Indeed the main house was not accessible while we were there, except for wedding parties; etc. Our room was clean and functional. We were a disappointed because we were expecting slightly more sumptuous accommodation, furnishings, and an integrated hotel lounge etc. The hotel grounds are similarly "functional". It was September, and we ended up with a few bites, but not sure of the source. There's a deal of open water in the area (not landscaped in a any way), so little mosquitoes may have been the culprits (the hotel were thoughtful enough to include an automatic lemon insecticide in the room). Breakfast is reasonably good, with cappuccino; etc. readily available, and a deal of effort being made to offer my wife coeliac alternatives, including cake! The staff are friendly, helpful and efficient, and willingly offered good advice and support. The restaurant did make a mistake with the bill, but this was identified and rectified by reception staff without any fuss at all. Would we stay again? If I were on business, and was asked to stay there, it would be fine. Would I choose to stay for a romantic break? No. [ I am in my 50's, have a modest income only, and have stayed in many hotels worldwide for both business and pleasure ]

Wonderful Country Hotel in the Tuscan Hills
Our wonderful experience at this Hotel started on arrival when we were received with Italian hospitality, the facilities were explained and personally taken to our room were the amenities were outlined. Since it was very hot we took advantage of the outdoor pool then enjoying a glass of Chianti under the umbrella. Room interior was purely Tuscan with heavy woodbeams on the ceiling, a small kitchenette with dishes etc. Breakfast was sumptuous and the three ladies working the room ensured everyone was looked after.
