    Stairs to rooms which means you carry your luggage up.

    The history, the staff friendliness, meeting new people. For a small fee, you can have a pasta time dinner.

    Breakfast lacks protein (maybe provide yogurt and hard boiled eggs?). The large dorms (30 people or so) are a bit noisy (doors are on an auto-shut system which slams them shut).

    The place has a lot character being an old abbey nested in olive groves, and it has preserved it. The group dinner (pasta and wine) in the large dining hall is very convivial and a must-do. Great vibes among the backpackers. Breakfast is included.

    It is located far from the city and bus stops too far. We had to hike for half an hour at night up hill. Keep this in mind and be prepared. Otherwise it’s a nice place

    I love this place a lot. It has a character. Good place to mingle with other backpackers. Nice view. Staff are very nice and friendly

    Most unique place I’ve ever stayed and the sunset pasta and wine dinner was unforgettable.

    The walk up the hill was a bit rough, especially during mid day sun. But regardless, it’s totally worth it, when you arrive it makes it all the more special. Don’t let the walk put you off!

    This is one of the coolest places I’ve stayed. The sunset pasta dinner and wine is a MUST! Honestly it’s so worth the bus ride and trek up the hill, I highly recommend this stay. Stay a few nights in the city and one last night up here to relax, watch the most incredible sunset and chat with amazing people at the communal dinner. Do not miss this place!

    Public transport to the hostel isn't great, definitely beneficial getting a hire car. Noise levels in an evening from the other guests

    Gorgeous location, amazing staff. Pasta nights are so great and really bring everyone together. Stunning views over the Tuscan Mountains, great to relax after a busy day

    Can take 1 hour to get into Florence which includes a 20min hike and bus, but this place is so worth it!

    The location of the property is in a great spot in Tuscany overlooking Florence. You also get a great view of the sunset every night. The atmosphere is amazing and a great place to meet people. Has been one of my favourite hostels over the 3 months I’ve travelled!!

    1. Rooms were very hot and only one pedestal fan was provided for two people. 2. Charging point was only one. It would be nice to have two. 3. Wifi strength was weak upstairs.

    Pretty area but hard to get to if you don't have a car. About a 20 min walk uphill from the bus stop so if you have lots of luggage or mobility issues keep that in mind. There's also nothing nearby in terms of food or stores unless you walk so maybe bring snacks if you need though they do sell some snacks and drinks at the hostel. Also showers weren't the cleanest but everything else seemed fine.

    Good way to escape the city for some peace. Nice and quiet. They have pasta every night for 8 euro with wine. Good way to get to know people. The garden is nice. The property is cool and interesting.
