17/07/2025: Our stay here was the perfect start to our Italy trip. We were warmly welcomed by Salina, the friendly concierge, who patiently answered all our (many) questions—this was our first time traveling to Italy. She brought us extra hangers and ice, helped us find a place to eat, and even made us dinner reservations.
We stayed in Room #1, which was spacious enough for our luggage and had a large hutch for hanging clothes. The shower was small—expected for Italy—but the water pressure was gloriously strong. The AC worked well, and a large window opened up to let in the fresh country air.
Matteo, the owner, was our point of contact before the trip and was very attentive to our needs, although we didn’t get to meet him in person. Breakfast each morning was plentiful: meats, breads, yogurt, and delicious cappuccinos. Paulo was also on hand during our stay and was very friendly and helpful.
The views from the patio were stunning—overlooking the countryside and the city center. We had dinner in the street-side courtyard, and the atmosphere was unforgettable. Our server, Alicia, was friendly and funny, especially once we settled in and got chatting. The food was both delicious and generous in portion.
Impruneta felt like a peaceful countryside village. There’s not a ton to do in town, but there’s enough variety for food and drinks. We explored Florence (30 minutes north), Pisa (1.2 hours west), and San Gimignano and Greve (about 1 hour south). We stayed for 4 nights, which felt just right for both the hotel and the area.
I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to escape the heavy tourist areas—we were among the only Americans in the village. I suspect that will change as we head next to the Amalfi Coast!
