The Locanda benefits from a beautiful setting, and a lovely old building. The rooms are a good size, and both bedroom and bathroom are done up using quality materials and fittings. But the BED in our room, albeit a good size, was truly TERRIBLE. The mattress was one of the most uncomfortable we have ever experienced. And after a poor... more

We found this delightful hotel purely by chance and were given a very warm welcome by the owner. This personal concern for our comfort was shared by all the staff. The room was smallish but well furnished; comfortable in every respect. The restaurant offered plenty of choice, including local produce and we found the quality to be excellent. Breakfast was... more

We just returned from 3 weeks in Italy. Our stay at La Locanda was the highlight in Tuscany. The hotel is a gem in a great location for exploring the countryside. What was especially nice was that there was a small refrigerator in our room with water, cokes, etc., which was important since there aren't any vending machines on site!... more

Before we booked this hotel we were told directly by email from the hotel............"your room will have two beds, when you arrive we will tell you about cooking lessons, nearby spas, wine tours and other activities in the area." When we arrived on a Friday about noon, we found that "two beds" meant one queen and a small, thin broken... more

My friend and I left our husbands behind for a week-long cooking school tour of Tuscany. We were headquartered at La Locanda del Castello, where we were treated like royalty. The hotel is quite comfortable and lovely -- not at all like the homogenized hotels in the States. The furnishings are personal treasures of the proprietress, Senora Silvana, a lovely... more

My husband and I just returned from a stay in Tuscany. We very much enjoyed our stay at La Locanda. The hotel was lovely. Our room was a very generous size with a large, updated bathroom. We thought the restaurant was so cozy and delicious. The owner and her staff were very friendly and helpful. There were two small downsides... more

We selected the hotel based on previous reviews and, having only booked a few days before travelling, were pleased to get a room. We stayed in room No.3 - Ciclamino. Small but perfectly formed - exposed beams, nicely decorated, good bath room (with shower), double bed (slightly firm) and ample space. Air-conditioned. Slightly unfortunate that building work was going on... more

My sister and her husband joined us here for our second week in Italy. Both couples were celebrating our 32 anniversaries. Amazing just begins to describe the views, the food prepared by their excellent German chef and the renovations of the suites. Everywhere you turn Lori is there to help with everything! We chose this region because it was central... more

Last July, my three teenage daughters and I stayed 5 nights at La Locanda and it was truly the highlight of our time in Tuscany. We had made the reservation on-line after scanning dozens of places in Tuscany, narrowing the choice to 4, and finally deciding on La Locanda. When we arrived after driving from Lucca via Pisa, we were... more
