Gargantua In Firenze

05/11/2024: The rooms were clean but there really isn’t much more to be said about the place. Fairly easy to get access with doors working with phone entry systems/codes. We were there in October and the town seemed dead - hard to tell why one would want to stay in Pontasieve - in our case it was simply because it marked the the first leg of the Camino San Francesco from Florence to Rome.

04/11/2024: Excellent location near a free car park (in front of the post office) and very close to the station (and in 20 minutes you can be in Florence). The rooms are a bit basic and not soundproofed (you can even hear the neighbors' alarm clocks), lack of sockets next to the bedside tables. The self check-in service is excellent and works online via a specific site (you need to have a connection, but you are notified beforehand and the password for the WiFi is provided in advance, together with a video tutorial to understand how to log in. There is also a vending machine and a nice courtyard. The excellent pastry shop next to the station is very close.
