La Piazzetta Toscana B&B

It felt like staying in a period building where everything has stayed just as it was, a unique and wonderful place for anyone who loves romance and old-world charm. The feedback service was excellent.

We were put in an attic room without air conditioning, and the heat made it unbearable. It reached at least 40 degrees Celsius in the daytime and was still 35 at night. Even a shower didn’t help, since we were just as sweaty when we left the bathroom. When we said the temperature made the room unusable, the owner said he had wanted to call us to cancel the stay because of the heat. A couple of days earlier, though, he had asked us to pay the remaining balance in advance by bank transfer. At 11 PM we left and went to a nearby B&B for the same price. It was cleaner and had air conditioning. One of the worst 100 euros we spent on vacation.

The place was simple and rustic, but clean, tidy, and well kept. Along with the bedroom, there’s a large living room and kitchen with household supplies and a fridge. That makes it handy if you have children or prefer to eat at home. I stayed just one night, but I have a very good memory of it.

Campiglia is a very quaint town, but I don’t think I’d return to the Piazzetta. The medieval building is beautiful and the B&B has charm, but comfort and amenities left a lot to be desired. The sink tap sent water all over the back of the sink, the radiators weren’t on so the evenings were biting cold, and the morning shower was a nightmare. The showerhead sprayed water haphazardly, sometimes cold. The lady charged us €5 for breakfast, which COVID rules didn’t allow on the premises, and another €5 for extra cleaning, which she would have had to do because my dog was staying there. It’s a no-brainer.
