I Palazzi - San Lorenzo a Linari — Hotel in Sovicille

We have long experience of Linari over the past 30 years, but this was our first experience under the new ownership. The building and setting is as delightful as ever, even though the gardens are rather less well maintained than they used to be. The apartment was not well equipped for a self-catering venue with our apartment for 8 people having just a few table knives and teaspoons, but neither forks nor spoons. We had to resort to liberating some from another apartment. The anti-mosquito nets on the windows were useless in most apartments with large tears and apparently no maintenance.||It is helpful having a restaurant (La Posteria) on site, with a good wine list and dishes. But after a great meal on day 1, it was extremely disappointing to discover on day 5 that the meal was absolutely awful with very slow service and the same dishes (previously great) being virtually inedible. The manager claimed it was the same chef (his wife) but along with untruths about dessert availability, and a different account from the overall manager about an experienced professional chef, the contracted catering in La Posteria is therefore at best unreliable.

We overnight in the accommodation for the second time. We rented a large apartment for 8 people. Unfortunately, one room is slightly worse than the others.

The surroundings of the building are beautifully landscaped. Breakfast is great, only the lady in the bar fails to serve a larger number of guests, especially if they are hungry :) So the ham and cheese went quickly.

Sometimes you also come across an animal species that some are scared of. Wonderful, especially with the views you enjoy....

Amazing place, isolated from caos and immersed in the Tuscany countryside not even 15 mind from Siena. Huge green space outside and swimming pool. This is an historical building and as such, it has to respect the rules of construction in the area, this means room can not be equipped with AC and windows aren’t noise isolating. This has nothing to do with the owner or management of the place. We had one night here and even tho there was a thunderstorm outside we had an amazing staying. Carlotta at the reception had welcome us and explained us some of the history of the building and advised us for a good restaurant not far from the accommodation. Overall a quite place and easy to access. Even some cyclists arrived to stay over directly with their bikes. Breakfast was quite rich and the dining area...
