The bathroom was extremely old and extremely small. The shower tap would not move, it was cold for the first 5 mins then scolding hot. No other options to move it. No AC No screens on windows.

Questa volta è capitato alla bellissima area delle colline senesi. Scelta ottima ! Facilitati dal bel tempo che ci ha accompagnati per tutto il viaggio, siamo arrivati in area verso il tramonto. Tutto bello, il microclima e la vecchia magione di transumanza ora adibita a B/B molto confortevole. Peccato che il tempo disponibile era ormai per noi ridotto poiché la località avrebbe meritato una sosta più lunga, approfittando di fare un tuffo in piscina e di passare ancora qualche ora all'ombra degli alberi circostanti ed assaggiare i fichi di una pianta ricca di frutti che si trova all'ingresso. Troveremo l'opportunità per ritornarci poiché la località e la struttura de "IL COLOMBAIO" lo meritano. ##### Sergio Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 20 Jul 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hôtel calme Hôtel de taille modeste, calme et permettant d'aller au centre du village à pied . ##### Verified traveller Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Renee 12 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Romantic honeymoon.
