Apr 14, 2009 - A great place. The hostel is beautiful. It is an old villa located in a nature reserve. I found a deer at night. The staff were efficient but not friendly. Only problem is it is far from the train station and a bit difficult to locate. A bus connects this place to the Duomo and the station (with fairly frequent connections). The problem I had was that I could not locate the bus stop at the train station (The station is large, asking people around did not help, various buses stop at several different locations around the station and it was impossible to find the bus at night and I had to pay for a taxi).
Sep 18, 2008 - The villa is set in a beautiful location (woodlands/forest) and so has a lot going for it. Having said that, as a girl I wouldn't arrive whilst dark cos of the scary and long path to the villa!If you like peace and quiet from your surroundings, rolling Tuscan hills- this is your place. If you want noise and nightlife, stay in central Firenze. As I knew I'd get the nightlife in Milano, I loved it at the Villa Camerata. A break from the wonderful craziness of Italian cities!
Jul 28, 2008 - too many young teenagers that were too loud, far from city but worth the distance
Jun 13, 2008 - This was a good hostel, just quite far out from the town centre. Clean, hot showers, and a great dinner for 10 euros. Free breakfast, but it's just a hot drink and some bread. Right in the middle of nature, so if you go in summer, bring some mosquito repellent! Clean room, but no self catering kitchen! If you want to leave before 7am you must check out the previous evening. They take your passport as well, so if you are an EU citizen and want your discount at the museums, bring a photocopy of your passport!
Jun 03, 2008 - I like the hostel as building I had heard a lot about it. Unfortunatelly attention wasn´t so good, breakfast neither.
Cleaning wasn´t so efficient, the only good thing was showers.
In the bathroom there wasn´t any towels (paper towels) and soap. :(
Maybe changed a lot since the moment "Lets go guide" wrote the comments.
Mar 24, 2008 - This is a nice hostel with beautiful views.it is enough clean.the bad thing about this hostel is that the beds are uncomfortable!but I think it's worth staying there.
Sep 01, 2007 - Beautiful place in a beautiful town.
Easy to reach also by bus.
Nice price.
Breakfast should offer a better choice of food.
Jul 06, 2007 - Great hostel, too bad far from town.
