Romantic House

We really enjoyed our time at La Veronica Resort in the Tuscan countryside, but there were some drawbacks. The villa had a terrible smell, and our room had its flaws. The road in was in poor condition, which was a notable downside.

The staff were amazing, and we had a really good time at this beautiful property in a lovely area.

The pool is a definite plus, and the hotel is beautiful, with roomy bedrooms among the vineyards. The living room is nice, and the atmosphere feels rustic and authentic. Breakfast was very basic, though. Better bread and coffee, plus fresh juice, would have made a big difference. We were also refused use of the fireplace even though it was listed in our reservation, which took away from the experience. You need a car to stay here, as it's about 10 minutes off the road.

We stayed for three nights after our cruise and found it very quiet, with clean rooms, good food, and good service. The resort sits on a hill, with a lovely outlook toward Florence and the Tuscan sunset, surrounded by vineyards and olive trees. The building and setting are unusual in a good way. It's also a great base for lots of day trips. The people in our group who used the pool enjoyed it.
