Ho soggiornato qui una notte. Questo posto si trova vicino al centro della città e ha un parcheggio privato anche se non molto grande; la stanza prenotata si è rilevata un piccolo monolocale con cucina, bagno e letto. La proprietaria è stata molto disponibile, ci ha mostrato la camera e ci ha invitato a farci una tisana. Ci ha poi suggerito alcuni posti dove poter andare a cena. Prezzi un po' alti. Stanza pulita e con la possibilità di accendere/spengere il riscaldamento in modo autonomo.

Struttura consigliatissima. Abbiamo soggiornato in occasione della trasferta della nostra squadra del cuore. Scelto perché a due passi dallo stadio Castellani di Empoli. Vicino al centro di Empoli, a mezz'ora da Firenze, circa un'ora da Siena.... La proprietaria gentilissima, disponibile, ci ha fatto sentire a casa. Torneremo sicuramente.

Casa accogliente, appartamenti arredati con mobili etnici e complementi originali, unici. Il gestore affabile, cortese, attento alle esigenze e richieste degli ospiti. Non è prevista la colazione ma la presenza dell' angolo cucina risolve il problema. Comodo il parcheggio all'interno del giardino. Un luogo dove ci si sente a casa e dove si ritorna volentieri.
