Fattoria Albanese Labardi

For a relaxing weekend, I don't think the property or its services are suitable. The only thing I liked was the scenery. The rooms had a nauseating smell, felt a bit dated, and weren't well cared for. There was just one towel for the two of us, and extra ones cost €2.50 each. The breakfast was supposed to be traditional, but they served Mulino Bianco cakes.

A clean place, with good food and breakfast, and a nice welcome. The countryside setting is lovely if you enjoy farms and nature. Getting there from Florence isn't especially convenient, and the roads are narrow.

We loved the panoramic views, reached by a scenic road among olive trees, about 15-20 minutes from Florence. There are lots of places to sit outdoors, plus a bar and barbecue area, pool, and party room. The rustic rooms felt just like home. The staff were so kind and always busy getting the different areas ready.

A friendly welcome from the owners, and even the little dog greets you at the entrance. The food was good, while the simple rooms were clean. It's a rustic farmhouse in a lovely landscape with plenty of potential, though more attention to detail would help. Towels should be part of the room price.
