Ländliches Ambiente

Wir waren als Familie im Podere della Collina. Süßes Landhaus, Pool nicht luxuriös aber völlig ausreichend. Man kann sich sehr frei bewegen, die Zimmer sind schön groß und ländlich eingerichtet, alles sauber. Kinder hatten viel Spaß mit den jungen Katzen und im Pool. Leider gab es kein Frühstück, die Begründung war, dass es in der Hauptsaison nicht möglich ist. Wenn man ungünstig mit dem Navi geleitet wird, ist es sehr schwer zu finden, weil man über die Bergstraße geleitet wird. Man muss die Adresse Provinciale delle Colline eingeben und nicht die Via Communale (dann wird man über Toiano und die Bergstraße geleitet). Wie gesagt, nettes Ambiente, mitten in der Toskana, irgendwo im Nirgendwo, wenn man ein bisschen mit dem Auto fahren mag, ist das aber kein Problem.

OK, but would not recommend

First of all, this hotel is VERY hard to find. It does not have a proper address to put into a navi, and the address you can put in leaves you 10 km away. The owner has limited English so she was not much help with directions. Once you find it, however, the scenery is beautiful. As far as the room goes, it was very quaint but the furnishings are minimal and old. The water temperature did not seem to be controllable, you got whatever was in the tank whether it be scalding hot or cold. Also, the radiators were not on during the day or early evening, so we were quite clod in our room at times. The owner also lives on the property and the "lobby" with the wifi seemed to be their living room which was awkward. When I went in there to pay, I was asked to come back later because the family was doing something around the table. There is not dining there and you must come prepared with drinking water, shampoo and some food. I did not know this in advance so it was difficult to get those things the evening we arrived because everything nearby was closed. The apartments down the road did have a great restaurant. Finally, because of it's location, you have to drive quite a ways to get to a main road and it took us an hour to get to Florence and 40ish minutes to Pisa from there.

HORRIBLE Experience!

Though the hotel is only supposed to be a couple minutes off the interstate, it took us over two hours to find. We had a local guy help us, and it took him an hour to help us find it. He even talked to the hotel owner on the phone multiple times. There was only one small sign that was difficult to find and see. When we finally arrived to the hotel, the owner was not apologetic. She showed us to the room and did not offer to help at all. There was no food in the evening available and no breakfast in the morning available. The hotel is also at the top of a hill and the road to get up the hill is in poor condition. Additionally, the heater would not work. I would not recommend anyone stay at this hotel. It sounded romantic and mysterious, but don't be mistaken. Spend an extra $10 and stay at a place that is easier to find, has better customer service, and has some amenities. On a positive note, the room was not so bad for the price.

Super smukt og fredfyldt. Lækker pool, lækre lejligheder, venligt personale. Men svært at finde og tilkørselsvejen var dårlig og stejl, -den var svær at bestige uden 4hjuls træk.

Total afslapning på bakketoppen

Podere della Collina er en godt gemt lille autentisk og rustik toscansk perle. Her er mulighed for afslapning i udstrakt grad. Lejlighederne er rummelige. Der er smukke trælofter og stengulve. Poolen er stor og ren. Omgivelserne er præget af olivenplantager og udsigten til det smukke bakkede toscanske landskab. Her er fin mulighed for ture til f.eks. Firenze, Siena, Pisa og Lucca. Værtsparret er imødekommende og servicemindede. Den eneste slange i paradis er det sidste stykke vej op mod huset. Det er meget stejlt og stenet, men lad det ikke holde jer tilbage. Det er fantastisk, når man først er oppe.

Wer Einsamkeit sucht, ist hier richtig

Anreise sehr schwierig, da die Wegbeschreibung ungenau ist. Die letzten 400 Meter stellten sich als Geröllpiste mit 18% Steigung dar. Hygiene in der Küche nicht vorhanden. Die Dusche hat über drei Wochen nur getröpfelt. Entfernungsangaben z.B. nach Pisa oder zum nächsten Supermarkt falsch. woher die 4 Sterne kommen, liegt im Dunkeln.

Loved It!

It was difficult to find without the exact GPS coordinates. It actually is in Toiano, not Palaia. You may consider using a vehicle with 4WD because it is on a hill with a dirt driveway. They also have cats and a dog roaming around, so if you have allergies to cats, you may want to bring allergy meds. They are outside, not in the buildings, though. The kids had a great time in the pool. It is quiet around the area. The walls between the apartments is thin, so you can hear the neighbors move around, if you have any. Overall, we had a great time. The area around is gorgeous. We had great weather and drove to see other sights, such as Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa, and Volterra. Love our stay. The staff is courteous. It was better than staying in a standard hotel, if you prefer unique quarters, which our family does. Plus, it fit our family of five without getting two rooms. It is very hard to find places to accommodate more than 4.

Seclusion and Isolation in Tuscany

If you are looking for isolation and seclusion in Tuscany, this place might be right for you. However, if you are looking for a nice staging area from which to explore the sites in Tuscany, you might want to keep looking. This place had some charm, but overall, it didn't work very well for us. We only stayed there one night because after we spent all day driving around the area, we didn't want to drive the hour and a half back to the hotel. In addition, when we tried to cancel the second night, they would not release us from the reservation and we had to pay for both nights.
