Very nice and friendly small hotel!!

I stayed in Pontassieve for one week at Angela and Tinos place. They have been very friendly and helpful all over the time. The rooms and the lobby are decorated nicely with artworks by Tino and that`s what makes a unique atmosphere. It was like feeling home from the first second on. The place is located very central. So it`s easy to reach the center of Pontassieve and the beautiful scenery around the rivers! The station is only a few steps walking time. Florence is 20 min by train which is leaving almost every 30 min. So it was easy to reach other Tuscany cities like Siena, Lucca and Arezzo. I also would suggest to order the breakfast with selfmade jam by Angela-- which also was one of the highlights-- and fresh croissants!

quirky, friendly b&b

after several 'standard' hotels, this b&b offered a quirky, interesting alternative.
it is right by the train station (pontassieve) which has three 20 min journeys an hour into florence, so although pontassieve itself was not very exciting, it was easy to get into florence.
the owners were very friendly and very helpful - which we really appreciated. the friendliness and service is 5 star!
the internet was free of charge, and a rustic home-made breakfast is brought to your room, which was a charming extra.
