We've been coming to Follonica for 5 years and every year we tried a different B&B in the area. ||This is the first place we would like to come back to. ||The combination of the things they offer more than matches the price for the experience. ||Let's start with the location: high up for great views at sunrise and sunset, easy enough to reach in a small car (much more than other places) because half of it is on Tarmac. ||There's a great pool and lots of outside space tailored to all sorts of uses, even candle lit dinners. ||The service is friendly, unobtrusive and informative if you ask about things to do in the area.

The property is beautifully finished inside and has lovely landscaped gardens. Our bedroom was pretty and comfortable. Breakfast was a luxurious treat of fresh fruit and cake. We made good use of the kitchen facilities and enjoyed several days relaxing by the pool, enjoying the gardens in the peace of the delightful surroundings. There are great views over the hill side and in the distance the sea, Elba and on a really clear day on to Corsica. It was wonderful to enjoy a glass of local wine while watching the sunset. We spent happy hours watching the many...
