Located in Barberino next to designer outlet. Ok hotel as a transit when you travel around Italy by car. Rooms are clean and quite spacious, good quality bathroom even with bidet. Breakfast is limited to cold dishes choice but enough to get ready for the trip. Helpful staff. Overall, a decent 3* hotel.

I stayed here with husband who visited mugello circuit with the events party. The hotel was basic and room dingy and unwelcoming. Breakfast ok but nothing thrilling. No pool. The shopping centre was right next door which was lovely but despite it being 100 yards away I was unable to walk there and had to get a taxi which cost €10! The hotel is surrounded by motorways.
I was able to catch a bus to Florence every day from the shopping centre which was 30 minutes to Florence and was reasonably priced.
Nothing else to say about this hotel except that I won't be returning
The staff at breakfast were helpful - particularly the lady wearing pink. The views from my room were OK...That is all I can say good about this place.
Ok now lets get on to the bad stuff -
1. I went to reception as the heating in my room was not working...No heating in the whole of Barberino until 1 Oct. This was the end of September and starting to get pretty cold in Tuscany.
2. No iron or ironing board. I went down one night to ask and was told come back in the morning as they did not have access to them. I went back the next morning "No irons in Barberino" is the response I got...are you kidding me?!
3. The draft coming through in to the room was ridiculous even through the shutter and the window/door being closed.
4. TV positioned on the wall so you can only see half of it when lying in bed.
5. Breakfast standard poor European breakfast for a below par hotel.
6. Wifi extremely poor.
I would NEVER stay here again even though it is the most convenient for my place of business whilst travelling. I'd rather just have the 45min commute back and forth to Florence every day.
Extremely poor service and having to sleep in a hooded top because the room is so cold is absolutely inexcusable.
I accompanied my son who was racing at the Mugello circuit. From the entrance, hotel looks dated but being optimistic, I value the cleanliness of the rooms and the dedication of an F&B staff who was juggling around various beverage demands at breakfast. Common folks, it's a budget hotel in the middle of nowhere, what can you expect? Reception tries their best to help you despite most of them being Italian lingual. Room doors shutting and opening can be pretty noisy at nights. My main attraction here were the hills and valleys that surrounds it and the breathtaking Bilancino lake nearby. Breakfast choices are
average but enough to go by.
Ha Ha! Stayed here as part of a trip with Focus events. Agree with other reviews, this is a good base for Motogp or track days for Mugello but that's all.
Very basic, staff were great. Breakfast urgh.
Plenty of restaruants around but brush up on your Italian otherwise who knows what you might end up with.
Good points: Clean, good surrounding restaurants
Bad points: Great views of (3) motorways lol, bar area terrible (tiny, served awful teeny warm cans of beer and teenier bottles of wine), plenty of free crisps and nuts mind. Not great for us ladies accompanying the husbands on track day events.
Think we'll stay in Florence next time but the fawlty towers aspect of this hotel made it memorable.
When I first saw the hotel in the organisers brochure (Focused Events), I conditioned myself not to expect much as it seemed like budget accommodation and I was correct.
The hotel is well suited for an overnight stay or stretching it three nights, as it delivers basic accommodation in an acceptable manner. The room and toilet with a good shower was clean and serviced well every day.
The breakfast choice was terrible, but the quality was not bad consisting of ingredients to make a cheese and hame rolls, cereal or if you fancied a sweet bun or fruit.
There is not that much locally that can be reached on foot, we found the local bar had a restaurant which served excellent home cooking and used that throughout our stay. We eat at the restaurant Marisa the first day and found it expensive without justification.
If you want to commit holiday sacrilege, there is a McDonalds nearby
