" I expect to have a breakfast included "

"This is a truly beautiful house with long views down to Lucca and olive groves all around. It is well-furnished and we slept really soundly. Massimo, the host, is extremely gracious and offers many great ideas for local activities and day trips, and once you find it the local supermarket is very well stocked. Having said all that, there are two "buts" to determine if this is the right fit for you. The key one is that "steep, winding, and narrow road" indicated in some comments is an understatement of the case. If you are not an experienced and confident driver with a relatively small car, you're going to have a challenge. The road goes from one lane to less than one car width, there are no shoulders, and the dropoffs are steep. It is very unlikely that a car service would agree to come pick you up. Issue #2, which is related to that, is that either you cook quite a bit in the well-appointed kitchen or you stay out for lunch and dinner (meaning drive up the hill in the dark). It is a good 20-25 minutes to anywhere and you get to navigate the hill both ways. We would go out for the day, enjoy an Italian lunch, pick up supplies for dinner, and head home to cook and enjoy that. (Issue #3: if you are a crazy cat person, use your common sense and do not feed the feral cats that roam the mountain as the people before us did.) Again, we very much enjoyed our stay once we figured it all out but you need a small car and you better be a good driver."

"From when you arrive, you are surrounded by everything Ferrari. From the reception desk, to the pictures and car engine in the lobby, it was amazing. The room was great as well with the a picture of on of the drivers on the wall. Everything was excellent, from beginning to end."

"Nice hotel but not close to the city. There is a bus stop just outside, and we waited for the bus there, but it just went right past us. Easy walk next door to a fabulous shopping center. Breakfast was worth it. We had trouble sometimes finding someone at the bar to get us drinks or ice. It was a restful stopover after several weeks on the road."

"This place has everything. Lots of social engagement areas. Foosball, ping pong, pool, outdoor lounging. I would have liked a little larger bathroom counter space. I use it for my contacts, toothbrush and other toiletries."

"Despite an ancient decor the Hotel is maintained at his highest level and it felt good to see that there are still old fashion place clean proper and well located"

"Very convenient and close to Bologna airport, with frequent shuttle service to airport."
