Cascina De' Fagiolari  

The cascina captures the essence of Italian countryside. Quiet, peaceful, and lovely. The rooms are spotless and decorated in traditional and old Italian decor. The bathroom is covered in a charming mosaic. The bed is hard but comfortable. There is a television; however, there is no English-speaking channels. Unfortunately it was too cool at the time of my trip (mid May) to use the very lovely pool area and outdoor patio areas. Service was excellent with easy going staff to assist in shuttle service (to and from the train service). The restaurant is outstanding. I had all my evening meals there. Try the Florentine steak and the chocolate cheescake. Both excellent.

This is country. The nearest transportation is the local train depot in Lastra a Signa, which is approximately 2.5 miles from the cascina. I didn't have a car and had to rely on the shuttle service offered to me. I would recommend having the use of a car to explore the Tuscan countryside. The staff has very limited English-speaking ability.

Nice large room with a fireplace and separate sitting area but could only get black and white tv and nothing in English. It was about 6 km from a train station that took us into Florence

Staff ignored us for quite a while when we arrived even though they could see that we were waiting

The room / appartment was perfect for 4 persons. They have a splendid garden area with nice pool of 20m which makes it a good stop before going further south. The kitchen is quit good and the menu offers lots of local specialties.

On saturday night they have lots of local customers, because they are good. The restaurant has difficulties to manage the volume. So eat early and you are ok. No restaurant options before 19:30u.

1)Their location in pure Tuscany's nature,2) the kindly staff, 3) the large and comfortable room, 4) their good restaurant. Good value for price.

Weak wi-fi, no guideposts for Cascina de Fagiolari (far from principal routes), a little difficult to pass heavy suitcases from car to room and return.

The room was spatious and very clean. Air conditon was functioning and area was very calm despite a busy restaurant. A swimming pool is nice, but much more pleasure gave us the restaurant. Full of locals actually we had to wait to get in. Perfect, reasonably priced, definitely not a turist rip-off . Internet was available in reception on desktop computer for free. The breakfast was extended continental so we were very pleased.

This hotel is more B&B, but if you do not expect English speaking receptionist this is not a problem. Location is 15 km from Firenze not a problem with car and navi, but otherwise quite far from Firenze and also from train station. We had a car so we really loved this calm country refuge after a day in noisy city.

Definitely the restaurant, the fact that the hotel is in the Toscan country but still 15km from Florence, the vineyards around it, the garden, helpfulness of the staff, hotel/room design...

Sound insulation was poor as we heard everything in the hallways and adjacent rooms, mosquitoes...

Great food at good price

This hotel is quite small but it is adjacent to their full service restaurant that is very busy with locals, meaning if the local Italians eat there, you know the food is excellent. We ate there 4 of the 5 nights we stayed and was never disappointed.

Our room was a little noisy early evening because we were near the restaurant kitchen and in the morning because we also faced the small road. It was not enough to bother us and other rooms were better positioned and I imagine more quite.

It is very beautiful hotel in peaceful location. we had dinner outside of hotel. but I saw many people coming in for meal. I want to go back and try the restaurant as well.

Posto immerso nella natura a 2 passi dalla citta'.stanza enorme e confortevole.ristorante di qualita'

Le camere sono state una bella sorpresa, diverse tra loro ma tutte ampie e ben arredate. Il ristorante propone un menù tipico della zona di ottima qualità.

Non avendo potuto usufruire della parte esterna, (causa mal tempo) sicuramente ci è mancato uno spazio comune dove potersi intrattenere con gli amici.

-La amabilidad de todo el personal: camareros, recepción... -La comida es excelente y el precio muy razonable.

Ristorante e personale fantastico, camere spaziose

Pulizia va miglirata , sotto imobili erano dei strati secolari di polvere, il caffe non e' buono
