A charming little hotel 15 km to the east of Florence on the way to Arezzo, away from the tourist hustle and bustle. Fresh air, no tourists in sight, only locals. Very kind and helpful hosts. We had a triple room, spacious and clean, tidied up every day. Comfortable beds and a clean bathroom. We had a key to the front door so we would get back for the night as late as we pleased. Total independence. Peace and quiet during the night. A good choice of eating places not far from the hotel.

We stayed 2 years ago and I am just getting around to writing. What a lovely place to stay. Great hosts and a fun and silly environment with very quirky art work. Lovely town with easy train access to Florence. The hosts even sent us a Chrismas email and a cooking book. Delightful.

Un albergue precioso que nos sorprendió gratamente por su decoración, silencio y la amabilidad de sus propietarios. Sólo estuvimos dos noches pero era fantástico descansar en un lugar tan agradable después de estar todo el día haciendo turismo. Se encuentra en Pontessieve, un pueblo pequeño y muy bonito. Hay media hora en coche hasta florencia pero vale la pena coger el tren que también tarda una media hora y te deja en el mismo centro.

This was a really great stay! The man and woman who run the place are very friendly and try their best to give us a nice stay. Rooms are clean and the hotel has a great and strategic loacation for both visiting Florence and go wine-tasting or hiking in Toscana. We will definietively come back here.

« Vous voulez visiter Florence et la Toscane et vous cherchez un hébergement ? Et bien ne cherchez plus, allez chez Angela et Tino, à Pontassieve. Vous vous y sentirez comme à la maison : après une bonne journée de balade à pied dans les rues de Florence, sirotez en rentrant un petit thé dans le canapé du hall d’accueil, puis montez vous détendre dans votre chambre avec un livre emprunté à la bibliothèque. De plus, avec la gare à 5 minutes à pied, vous êtes en moins d’une demi-heure en plein cœur de Florence sans vous soucier du parking pour votre véhicule. C’est vraiment Idéal. Et puis, l’accueil d’Angela et Tino est tout simplement parfait (encore merci pour m’avoir permis de télécharger les photos de mon numérique sur votre PC !). »

Our arrival was a bit late in the evening. We were too tired to go out for dinner. The owners (Angela and Tino) helped us find a pizza delivery. Most did not deliver at that time so Angela went out on her Vespa to get us a Pizza. She came back in ten (!) minutes with two very tasty pizza's and a nice bottle of red wine. How's that for a welcome! The hostel is very lovely decorated with housemade art. Only 7 or 8 (all uniquely decorated)rooms available make this hostel small and cosy. The rooms are clean just like the rest of the building. So if you are looking for a sweet, small, romantic and "no-hurry" place to stay... this is the one. Breakfast in bed is modest, but tasty. The warm "scones", coffee and orange-juice will give you a jumpstart for the day. Speaking of which: for any information about the surroundings or a day out, Angela and Tino are very devoted in assisting you in this. We stayed at I Villini for almost a week giving us time to explore the surroundings. Take the 15 minute train ride to Florence for example. It is a lovely ride and tickets are very cheap. We really enjoyed our one week stay in this lovely albergo and we can encourage you to give it a try. The owners definitely define the word hospitality. Thank you for a lovely time.

Questo piccolo albergo non ha niente da invidiare a strutture di categoria superiore, l’accoglienza cordiale ed estremamente professionale dei simpatici proprietari Tino e Angela, il gatto dell’albergo nero e paffuto e la camera confortevole, pulita e coloratissima che era stata preparata per noi ci hanno premiato della scelta fatta. L’albergo è davvero accogliente ci sono scaffali pieni di libri in tutte le lingue a disposizione dei clienti e anche guide, cartine e depliants informativi; alle pareti ( ovunque) ci sono sculture originali fatte di legno e di oggetti recuperati, alcune veramente divertenti! E’ possibile utilizzare gratuitamente un frigorifero e un comodissimo sistema per la preparazione di bevande calde ( caffe,te e tisane) e acqua fresca sempre disponibile. Parcheggiata la nostra macchina gratuitamente davanti all’albergo ce la siamo dimenticata per 3 giorni e siamo andati a Firenze ( a soli 10 km) e ad Arezzo in treno. Abbiamo avuto, sempre dai proprietari, tutte le indicazioni necessarie per muoverci a Firenze visitando anche alcuni luoghi bellissimi e ristoranti non conosciuti dalla massa (vedi il banco al mercato centrale dove si mangiano il lesso e i fagioli all’uccelletta). La colazione ci è stata servita in camera come al grand hotel o meglio ci sembrava di essere in crociera…..Insomma, la nostra vacanza a Firenze è stata perfetta anche grazie all’albergo I Villini e per questo abbiamo deciso di mandarvi alcune foto e delle indicazioni che possano essere utili ad altri. Grazie.
