  This is not a four star hotel

  We visited this hotel as part of a tour group recently. There are not tea or coffee making facilities in the room. The shower was dark, small and mouldy. The plug in the washbasin was broken and the toilet flush just kept running until you banged it. No matter which controller you used or how often you switched it off the television kept switching itself on even in the middle of the night in the end my husband unplugged it. There was no hot food for breakfast not even a toaster and no restaurant on site. To eat at night you must negotiate a dark drive to an American diner.

  Reception staff wonderful

  We booked to stay for 8 nights but had to leave early. I can’t praise reception staff enough - always professional, responsive and helpful. We had a room with a mezzanine bedroom - lovely but I hadn’t thought that our bedroom would be on another floor and have arthritis so it wasn’t ideal. We were moved to another room the next day while we were out. It was lovely. My suggestions for improvements would be 1. Charging €2.50 per person per swim to use the pool is overpriced and it was not a surprise that nobody used it during our stay. 2. Service at breakfast was hit and miss. A female member of staff and her male colleague were really smiley and helpful but the other female colleague appeared to see her job as an imposition getting in the way of her ability to flirt with contractors and resented being asked for anything. 3. Having experienced a number of your mattresses because of needing to move I’d suggest an audit and overhaul as half of them are past their best and frankly uncomfortable. As others have said you really need to have a hire car to stay at Calamidoro Hotel. As a base it was great and we enjoyed Florence, Volterra, SAN Gimignano, Lucca, Pisa and the excellent Italian train system. As a driver most fellow drivers are chilled out compared to stressed UK drivers so don’t be afraid to give it a go! This hotel could be more than it currently manages to be. It’s got the location but needs attention to housekeeping and waiting staff customer service standards. Take Piriton tabs with you - in Italy it’s not licensed for tablet form and tbh nothing is a better antihistamine (unless you are driving)! There are millions of small biting insects in Tuscany.
