Fattoria La Principina Hotel  

The Fattoria is a huge (194) room conference-based hotel, not the spot for those who seek the intimacy of a B&B. That said, the staff were invariably kind and helpful, the rooms were large, clean and comfortable and had balconies, and the breakfast was more than adequate. The location is great for seeing the Maremma. The associated restaurant can hold its head up among competitors in the area.

The military air base is very close, great for those who like to watch (and listen to) jet fighters maneuvering at low altitudes (as we did!). Not so great for those who need continuous quiet. They do not seem to fly at night.

Had everything we wanted and more

We got a very good price for a great hotel!

Our room was big and very well and nicely furnished.

The hotel is near to the seaside and to a wonderful nature reserve, however it has the feel of a country mansion and it allows guests to use two open air swimming pools with guest activities. It is possible to rent bicycles to reach the seaside. There is a choice of restaurants during the high season, however normally there is only one restaurant. The breakfast has a very good choice and a lunch box is available on request.

Nothing, really. Perhaps the only thing was the military airport nearby, that hosted the NATO Eurofighters during two night attacks over Libia. The fighers and the cargo planes were very noisy, however this was over by midnight and I would not consider it a permanent feature, as it only happended twice in ten days.

Very good breakfast. Good value for money

The rooms were nice and clean, the reception area is nice and comfortable. Roofs available at the parking lot to keep the car from getting hot.

Hardly any of the staff were able to communicate in English. Clumsy service in the restaurant. We were given only Italian menus at first even if we were obviously English speaking; later we discovered that also English menus would have been available. Forks and knives were forgotten, gnocchi were served cold and had to be sent back to the kitchen to be reheated. A dish with crabs was served without the pliers needed to get at the crab meat, and pieces of crab shell were mixed with the noodles. Wlan works only in the reception, there is no internet in the rooms.

Everything was good. The staff, facilities, breakfast all were good value for money.

Rural location. Price and included breakfast.

Gym cost 10 euros per person. Facilities could have been better in the hotel and cleaner. Pool was filthy dirty but i guess because nobody uses it this time of the year.

E' sicuramente un buon albergo per soggiornare nel Grossetano:un quattro stelle un pò retrò arredato stile anni fine 80 inizio 90,ma con la vasca idromassaggio anche nelle camere standard.

L'unico consiglio che mi sento di dare a chi avesse intenzione di soggiornarvi è che bisogna assolutamente essere muniti di un mezzo di trasporto:l'ingresso del complesso alberghiero è posto a 1 km circa dall'albergo stesso.

Die kostenlosen Parkplätzte sind super. Das Hotel sieht von außen sehr nett aus und auch Eingangshalle und Balkone sind nett anzuschauen und zu nutzen. Wenn man will, kann man vom Hotel geradewegs unendlich zu Fuß spazierengehen. Das Hoteleigene Gelände ist weitläufig und mitten von Feldern umgeben.

Nicht gefallen haben uns teilweise unorganisierte und schlecht informierte Mitarbeiter, das gechlorte Leistungswasser, das eintönige und qualitativ bescheidene Frühstück.(verschrumpeltes Obst, pappiges Brot U.A.) Der Wellnessbereich konnte dem gewohnten deutschen Standard nicht standhalten. Insgesamt war er in einem schlechten Pflegezustand. Die Luftwaffe, die abends um 20 Uhr mit ihren übungen anfing, war auch ziemlich laut :-) Da hatte die Beschreibung des Hotels nicht übertrieben. Unser Fazit insgesamt: Außen Hui - Innen, naja - für zwei übernachtungen ging es gerade.

Hotel deprimente, un'ecomostro in mezzo alla natura

Il personale molto cortese e la posizione ottima. Perfetta la location per un periodo di relax
