Cute hotel in good location

We really enjoyed our stay here, the staff were all really nice and helpful, the breakfast was yummy and it was a good location for exploring surrounding towns in Tuscany. Only down side is there was a lot of noise from neighbouring rooms, and the water pipes made a loud whistling noise when somebody used the bathroom which was sometimes the middle of the night.

Great hotel, very good breakfast very clean, perfectly located. But -I had an accident slipping in shower. It's extremely dangerous, luckily, in my case, it ended only in a few bruises, but could have gone much worse. The hotel staff promised me they will do the required changes to make it safer. I hope it the case.

Close to bus stop for touring other cities nearby.

Small, very clean room. Our only complaint was that the room was a little warm at night, but the desk personnel said that they had shut off the air conditioning to the entire hotel because "the nights are cool." So we opened a window and dealt with it. Desk personnel were very friendly and accommodating. We came from Siena; the bus stop was only a short walk away, very convenient for visiting other towns like Volterra or San Gimignano.

Great base for touring Tuscany

We had a great holiday based at "the old paper mill", whizzing around Tuscany in Florence (our hired Fiat 500 who did sterling work up and down and around the hills and winding roads). Colle is a good base if you prefer to stay in "real" Italy, and is close enough to the touristy bits (Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra etc) for days out. The hotel staff are great - friendly and helpful, and they didn't laugh at my amateur Italiano! Our room was clean and comfy with a lovely view of the old town.

Top notch lodging in heart of Tuscany

The rooms are large and have these great shutter windows(leftover from the old factory). The customer service was exceptional. Great free WIFI in the lobby and outside in the square. Breakfast with cappuccino to order in a nice dining room hit the spot. The air conditioning wasn't very strong and there was no safe in the room.

We were driving and this hotel was hard to find. It's located in the center of this little village and the map was not very specific. It was fine once we got there and the breakfast was very nice.
