There was a wedding at the same time, with 20 peoples staying at the pool from 10 in the morning to late in the afternoon with beers. And people there where not very welcome.
Otherwise the place is nice.
We absolutely loved staying in the Montegufoni Castle. It is a truly magical experience. We stayed in one of the apartments adjacent to the castle. It was very spacious and well-equipped for four people. It does not have air conditioning but there are fans in both bedrooms that worked well enough in the summer heat. The pool was marvelous and we had a lot of fun exploring the grounds. We had a car and the drive into Florence was about 25 minutes. We also drove to Pisa one night which was about one hour away. We did not eat in the on-site restaurant but it looked very good (we tried to drop in one night but didn't have a reservation and they were full). There is a little town about 10 minutes away with a good grocery store and restaurants. I would definitely recommend!
Très bel emplacement et environnement avec vue superbe sur la campagne de la Toscane. Proximité de Florence (1/2 heure). Logement très propre et agréable. Seul l'équipement du logement était juste (petit nombre de couverts, d'assiettes, de verres, poêles anti-adhésives dégradées). Accueil sympathique. Belle piscine mais très fréquentée l'après midi avec nombre insuffisant de transats. Au demeurant, nous avons passé un excellent séjour car l'ensemble était de bon niveau.
Wir kannten das Castello schon aus früheren Jahren und fanden es unverändert schön. Der Pool ist gut gepflegt wie alles. Wir hatten ein App. außerhalb des Schlosses, aber mit wunderschöner Aussicht auf die toskanische Landschaft, so dass wir es jederzeit wieder buchen würden. Sowohl die Jugendlichen (3) als auch wir waren sehr zufrieden. Besonders angenehm ist, dass ein Bus praktisch von vor dem Haus (oder manche auch vom nächsten Ort, ca. 1 km) nach Florenz fährt, so dass man sich die nervige und teure Parkplatzsuche dort sparen kann. Das Personal war durchgehend sehr nett und zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit.
This property is situated in an idylic setting with lovely views. The castle is beautiful. The accommodation is very good, but access to the castle and some of the units is a bit challenging for someone with disabilities. Would definitely stay here again.
I thought the entire experience was great. The castle was more beautiful than I thought it would be, and the location was perfect. Our apartment was great and just as it was described. We would definitely use Easy Reserve again and would stay at the castle again. The only suggestion I would have would be to give extra towels to the apartments and warn about the mosquitos in the summer.
