26/10/2025: Feel at home even before you arrive. Our main contact was Raffaela, who contacted us on the day of our arrival and provided us with check-in instructions when we arrived later than expected. She speaks several languages ​​besides Italian, including Spanish and English. All the staff we came in contact with were charming. The room was spacious, clean, and quiet. The location was perfect, just two minutes from free public parking, well-located for exploring key points of Tuscany. It also has an elevator.

04/10/2025: We stayed at this hotel for three days, and the experience couldn't have been better. From the first moment we stayed, we felt very comfortable: the rooms were impeccable, always clean and tidy, and the breakfast was perfect, both in terms of the quality of the food and the service. The attention from the entire staff was excellent, from the breakfast team to the hotel management and everyone else. The location is ideal for easily exploring all of Tuscany, making it a perfect starting point for any trip. We would also like to especially thank you for offering us a superior room with better views, as we were traveling for a business photo shoot. This gesture made us much more comfortable and relaxed, which made all the difference in our stay. In short, we are truly happy and eager to come back. Thank you for everything!

10/10/2025: Delicious food in a French setting. A small restaurant in a mountain village. Combine this with a hike. Be careful of private roads.

24/09/2025: We've already traveled a bit in Tuscany, and Trattoria Albana is truly an insider tip. The food was fantastic, and the service was fast and very friendly. We shared the pici with cheese and pepper sauce and the veal ragout, and both were perfect. The ragout, in particular, was as tender as butter and practically fell apart just by looking at it 🤤 We were very full, and the really reasonable price rounded off the evening perfectly. According to the waiter, almost all of the ingredients are grown in the restaurant's garden! It doesn't get much better than that!

02/11/2025: Wonderful fine food, lovely setting but most of all the great chef, Carla who could still whip up great dishes at this grand age of 76 and everyone else serving in the restaurant who made us the guests feel ever so welcomed!

20/10/2025: Excellent food... Beautiful dining room

11/10/2025: I love this wonderful place, you eat well, you drink well and the view of the surroundings is stunning ❤️

07/10/2025: A great discovery. Excellent craft beers produced with geothermal energy, and equally excellent food on the menu.

26/10/2025: Expectations were very high, and perhaps that's why they were disappointed. The first course, pioppini mushrooms and oxtail, didn't convince me. I proceeded with the egg yolk with truffle... too bad the truffle wasn't very fragrant and the dish arrived cold. Compliments to the service. Impeccable. I recommend cleaning up the dust buildup on the corrigati in the kitchen... it's not at all hygienic. I won't post the photo out of decency.

19/10/2025: Great restaurant with delicious and high-class cuisine; it’s fairly priced with a 4-courses meat menu @ €52 and fresh fish menu at €57 ; look out for the truffle specials when in season. Great staff too.

21/10/2025: This place is a guarantee: excellent food, a casual atmosphere, and reasonable prices. We'll definitely be back. The truffle crepes and donkey stew are excellent. I recommend booking ahead.

11/10/2025: The place is small, but that's precisely its characteristic. Reservations are required. The food is excellent and well-cooked. The portions are generous, like those of true gourmets. Top-notch service. Excellent value for money.

30/10/2025: Bit poncey for us. But OMG the food. Every course was exquisite 👌 and obviously cooked by someone who knew what they were doing. Delicious

18/10/2025: Osteria Vecchia Noce in Vicopisano offers excellent Tuscan and Italian cuisine, combining rich tradition with a modern twist. This family-run restaurant stands out for its use of fresh, seasonal ingredients (fish, organic meats, pasta, and homemade desserts). The restaurant's strong point is its exceptional wine cellar, curated by sommelier Alessandro, which boasts around 600 wines and spirits. The atmosphere is elegant and welcoming (with terracotta vaults and a beautiful garden). This high-quality restaurant, selected by the MICHELIN Guide for its "Buona Cucina" (Good Cuisine), is ideal for those seeking an authentic and refined gastronomic experience.

18/10/2025: A simply delightful trattoria, a rare surprise. The owners are extremely kind and empathetic with their customers. Traditional Tuscan food, very well cooked. We'll be back. Recommended.

16/10/2025: Local food as we used to eat in Tuscany

01/11/2025: A "big" birthday spent at this enchanting inn. Leaving longing to return to this place is, I think, the most fitting way to describe our stay. See you soon!

31/10/2025: Wonderful. Excellent. A must-have! 😀 This special place is now on my must-see Italian list. Service was outstanding. The food was top-notch in terms of value for money. The quality was equally excellent. The ambiance... simply WOW! 😀 Highly recommended. It was also mostly frequented by regulars, which speaks for itself. We were thrilled. Keep it up!

21/09/2025: Wonderful food for a surprisingly cheap price. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Perfect place for a lunch or dinner.

07/09/2025: A guarantee. I go to this 10-star restaurant every now and then and have never been disappointed. The full menus are the real highlight, everything is delicious, and the friendly staff completes the picture.

16/08/2025: What can I say? We're now regulars, and despite the many visits, they still manage to surprise us. The pairings are always spot-on, the dishes are balanced, and the atmosphere is relaxing and convivial. In short, our favorite place.

18/07/2025: A restaurant that never gets boring, with exceptional dishes, meticulously crafted by Chef Alessandro. A sublime wine list, full of surprises selected by Elena, the Sommelier.

21/10/2025: I have no words to express our experience. Spectacular. Fantastic service and amazing food. An explosion of flavors. Everything was perfect. Many thanks to all the staff for your hospitality, especially Fabio, Marina, Roberto, and Lekvira. It was an unforgettable experience.

21/10/2025: Excellent place and wonderful food! The chef is Brazilian!
