Lovely hotel! It was formerly a palace of a wealthy family and has been beautifully updated while retaining its charming character- tiled floors, windows with shutters which we opened to the breeze, and our room had a frescoed ceiling over the bed. It is located in a scenic neighborhood setting, is surrounded with small trees and garden and has a gorgeous view of the countryside off a long patio in the back. 20-25 minute walk uphill to old town center or city bus station steps away. We arrived on the train from Florence and recommend getting a taxi to the hotel ($15 euros). We then took the 8:00 am bus back to the train station - only gave us 10 minutes for the fabulous breakfast, but got us to the train station by 8:;40 am.
Definitely hope to return here someday to enjoy more time in the beautiful setting!
