Despite good directions and a map, we had trouble finding it. The only reason was that the sign in front of the entrance was covered with potted plants. A minor drawback is the garden. You have to cross a small alley to get there so not so convenient, and it's not very well-maintained – I'm assuming it's not used often by visitors. Another small problem is the balcony, which is shared with the second room

A highly recommended place in the heart of Chianti. An ideal base for exploring the surrounding area.. Friendly and helpful staff, delicious breakfasts with the option of ordering an Americano and espresso in the morning :). A comfortable room with everything you need. Excellent location in the town center. The street in front of the guesthouse, which transforms from empty in the morning to bustling with people in the evening, makes an incredible impression. This is due to the opening of the restaurant next door, a restaurant that serves fantastic dishes.

The location is beautiful. A very pretty Italian village with friendly villagers. Breakfast was very fresh and tasty and everyone catered for. The building is absolutely beautiful with lots of history (we even had a history tour, thankyou). Our room was kept clean and comfortable, with a beautiful view from the small balcony. Thankyou for a wonderful stay.

We had a small balcony and would have preferred a bigger garden or pool area but we knew it wasn't an option when we booked. As long as you're not looking for those things this is very very good

We were last here in 2017 so it was nice to come back and without planning we had exactly the same room. Matteo was excellent in communicating pre-visit and it was everything we remember - very well located, good breakfasts and a couple of restaurants and bars nearby. Quiet but not too quiet. You have to have a car but that's fine, we like to travel out into the surrounding area

Nothing to fault. Except I would happily have desired more of those coffee's at any time of day! This stay is special, within close proximity to multiple stops and the staff will happily help you with it all.

The staff were fantastic (warm, kind and professional), the accommodation gave a truly authentic whilst utterly charming Italian experience, the breakfast was superb; a new homemade cake each day, the quality of the products top notch, the eggs! And Mary makes wonderful cappuccinos. Mary, Matteo and Maria all provided excellent tips for our stay and Matteo was able to organise dinner for us at La Toppa on very short notice - equally outstanding experience and literally next door! There were small touches that pushed the hospitality over the top, like quality mini easter eggs readily accessible in beautiful glass jars and freshly made chocolate biscuits at hand next to the tea and coffee in the shared area.

All was great!

Beautiful palazzo in the heart of San Donato’s old town. Great staff that were extremely helpful, as we were traveling with our 7 month daughter. Mery made sure that every breakfast was well presented with an excellent selection of home cooked foods.

More a recommendation - It would be good to have water to purchase or a refillable water dispenser, as all the local shops close in the middle of the day. Being from abroad where it’s not the norm for shops to close, we forget that shops close in the middle of the day in Italy. (I do think it’s great that they close - but I’m just not used to it!) 😅

Very old, but fantastically preserved historic property. Amazing staff. Breakfasts by Mary (especially the quiche) were fantastic. Matteo, the host, was amazing and was on hand to answer any questions, no matter what time of the day! Central location beside the square.

No common area besides the breakfast area. The garden could be more well kept…

Beautiful family house with a very comfortable rooms. The staff was very friendly and the location is perfect for those who want to visit others cities.

Exactly as shown in the photos; a lovely historic building, converted with great taste into a b&b, lovely hosts, great breakfast, super comfy bed, amazing view from the room / balcony and location is unbeatable to explore the chianti area as well as to go into Florence or Siena for the day.

Everything exceeded all of my expectations. San Donato in Poggio is so cute, it’s the perfect location in Tuscany. The room was huge and extremely nice and comfortable. Very quiet and peaceful. My partner and I truly loved staying here! The breakfast was also great!

What an amazing experience. The only bad part was that we stayed there for only one night. I would love to stay in that village for like a full month, just relaxing. Special thanks to the hosts

Excellent experience. I would get back, whenever I return to LA TOSCANA. The B&B is so elegant, confortable, and the attention is so friendly and helpful. Great place to go!

Shower is a bit on the small side, but no big deal

Loved this place and it's location in San Donato is fantastic. San Donato itself is a lovely small town within reach of everything you want to see around the Chianti area. 2 nice restaurants and great small shops, best butchers for Tuscan meats and salamis. Valeria was very helpful as were all the other staff at this property.
