Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable dans cet hotel, de par l'accueil que nous y avons reçu, le confort de cette organisation familiale, l'originalité des lieux. L'accès à Florence est très pratique par le train, mais les restaurants de Pontassieve sont loin d'être à la hauteur de l'hotel. "un vrai séjour chez l'habitant"

I Villini has a very convenient location.
It is close to the train station - great for travelling to Florence. Not too far away is Castello di Nipozzano
a perfect place for winetasting. Pontassieve is a nice town with friendly people, good restaurants and shopping.

Questo piccolo albergo non ha niente da invidiare a strutture di categoria superiore, l’accoglienza cordiale ed estremamente professionale dei simpatici proprietari Tino e Angela, il gatto dell’albergo nero e paffuto e la camera confortevole, pulita e coloratissima che era stata preparata per noi ci hanno premiato della scelta fatta. L’albergo è davvero accogliente ci sono scaffali pieni di libri in tutte le lingue a disposizione dei clienti e anche guide, cartine e depliants informativi; alle pareti ( ovunque) ci sono sculture originali fatte di legno e di oggetti recuperati, alcune veramente divertenti! E’ possibile utilizzare gratuitamente un frigorifero e un comodissimo sistema per la preparazione di bevande calde ( caffe,te e tisane) e acqua fresca sempre disponibile. Parcheggiata la nostra macchina gratuitamente davanti all’albergo ce la siamo dimenticata per 3 giorni e siamo andati a Firenze ( a soli 10 km) e ad Arezzo in treno. Abbiamo avuto, sempre dai proprietari, tutte le indicazioni necessarie per muoverci a Firenze visitando anche alcuni luoghi bellissimi e ristoranti non conosciuti dalla massa (vedi il banco al mercato centrale dove si mangiano il lesso e i fagioli all’uccelletta). La colazione ci è stata servita in camera come al grand hotel o meglio ci sembrava di essere in crociera…..Insomma, la nostra vacanza a Firenze è stata perfetta anche grazie all’albergo I Villini e per questo abbiamo deciso di mandarvi alcune foto e delle indicazioni che possano essere utili ad altri. Grazie.		  Dec 16 2006 -

Une petite merveille. Des prix defiant toute concurrence pour des chambres impeccables de propreté, un accueil incroyablement gentil et agréable, une déco originale et sympathique (lui est sculpteur), et une comune pas du tout touristique mais authentique dans laquelle on trouve un super restaurant de poissons (abordable) et qui permet de rayonner vers et autour de Florence et Sienne. En franchissnt le fleuve (sieve) un e pizzeria sympa et populire en terrasse sur le Sieve (chalet Alberta). Le amtin au café-tabac-patisserie, n'essayez pas de payer tout de suite, on paye à la fin, en allant soimeme dire à la caisse ce que l'on a consommé, honnêtement.

Our arrival was a bit late in the evening. We were too tired to go out for dinner. The owners (Angela and Tino) helped us find a pizza delivery. Most did not deliver at that time so Angela went out on her Vespa to get us a Pizza. She came back in ten (!) minutes with two very tasty pizza's and a nice bottle of red wine. How's that for a welcome! The hostel is very lovely decorated with housemade art. Only 7 or 8 (all uniquely decorated)rooms available make this hostel small and cosy. The rooms are clean just like the rest of the building. So if you are looking for a sweet, small, romantic and "no-hurry" place to stay... this is the one. Breakfast in bed is modest, but tasty. The warm "scones", coffee and orange-juice will give you a jumpstart for the day. Speaking of which: for any information about the surroundings or a day out, Angela and Tino are very devoted in assisting you in this. We stayed at I Villini for almost a week giving us time to explore the surroundings. Take the 15 minute train ride to Florence for example. It is a lovely ride and tickets are very cheap. We really enjoyed our one week stay in this lovely albergo and we can encourage you to give it a try. The owners definitely define the word hospitality. Thank you for a lovely time.

We could not have met more amiable, knowledgeable, or helpful people than Tino and Angela. Their attitude toward their clients is an instant winner!

Very nice hotel, the rooms are lovely decorated with arts (figures and paintings) of the owner. The owners are very friendly and helpfully, they give qualified consulting in tours, restaurants and any other questions. Perfect starting point for visiting Firenze (take the train!) and Chianti

Angela and Tino have received a lot of very good reviews here, and elsewhere. All thoroughly deserved, I must say. Ryanair now fly from Sevilla to Pisa, and we'll be returning to Firenze in 2007, and I won't hesitate to book in to I Villini again. Very very helpful, and very very friendly. They even had a recommendation for a restaurant in Lucca, on the day of our departure; which turned out to be excellent.

Hôtel très bien tenu par des propriétaires très sympathiques et très attentionnés. Chaque chambre est différente et décorée avec beaucoup de goût.

I will stay here again and again! The Villini's were fabulous hosts. The property is all it advertised it to be. The location could not be more convenient to the train station. From there it is a short 15 min ride to Firenze. The rooms were spotless.There is a coop grocery store within a 5 minute walk .The town of Pontassieve is a charming little town. Ask the owner Albergo for a recommendation of restaurants in the neighborhood. We found them very good and affordable. Overall I have no complaints and rate this property a 5 star. The price I paid for a room with private bath and two beds and the cleanliness I could never find in the US.

We enjoyed our stay at I Villini very much. The advice and directions of our hosts helped greatly. Their breakfast is a must and much better than the nearby restaurants. I highly recommend the I Villini especially for those watching their budget.

« Vous voulez visiter Florence et la Toscane et vous cherchez un hébergement ? Et bien ne cherchez plus, allez chez Angela et Tino, à Pontassieve. Vous vous y sentirez comme à la maison : après une bonne journée de balade à pied dans les rues de Florence, sirotez en rentrant un petit thé dans le canapé du hall d’accueil, puis montez vous détendre dans votre chambre avec un livre emprunté à la bibliothèque. De plus, avec la gare à 5 minutes à pied, vous êtes en moins d’une demi-heure en plein cœur de Florence sans vous soucier du parking pour votre véhicule. C’est vraiment Idéal. Et puis, l’accueil d’Angela et Tino est tout simplement parfait (encore merci pour m’avoir permis de télécharger les photos de mon numérique sur votre PC !). »

Perfect location if you want a base to tour Tuscany or visit Florence. Florence is only a 4 euro/15 minute train ride away and the station is only a 5 min stroll, trains every 30 mins (don’t drive into Florence it’s a nightmare to park). The highway connections are superb; Siena, San Gimignano (must see) and Pisa are within easy reach. The town itself is small and with only a few places to eat at night, however there are quite a few restaurants on the way to and in nearby Rufina. The Accommodation is simple, clean, comfortable and very safe. The owners speak excellent English and are more than helpful. They are both very knowledgeable on the local area, and more than willing to lend advice on places to visit. The heart of the Chianti region is only minutes away from the accommodation therefore a good base for the wine lovers. Overall the “Villini” was the best value accommodation we came across in our 2 month tour of Europe, it is well run and maintained we’ll be back in 2006, excellent value!

We enjoyed the out-of-the-ordinary decor, the brilliantl and whimsical wall sculptures made by the landlord/host. For whom it matters, the host speaks excellent English,and was helpful in every way.

This was a really great stay! The man and woman who run the place are very friendly and try their best to give us a nice stay. Rooms are clean and the hotel has a great and strategic loacation for both visiting Florence and go wine-tasting or hiking in Toscana. We will definietively come back here.
