L'Agrifoglio In Castellina marittima

27/03/2024: The location of the accommodation is beautiful, surrounded by nature, in a peaceful and quiet area. The access to each room is made directly from the garden and our room had a good size and it was clean. The bathroom was very funcional too. Opening the window and seeing the green hills of Tuscany and the sunset was very beautiful. The soundproofing is not great and so we were able to hear the snoring of our nextdoor neighbor. Since we stayed here in March which I guess is off-season, the breakfast had to be discussed the day before and the host prepared something for us according to our requests so it wasn't a regular, continental breakfast. Overall it was a good experience.

12/12/2023: We stayed just one night in November '23. The owner asked us if we would like to stop for dinner. After reading excellent reviews, we decide to stop for dinner too. No starters: they are going to be a farmhouse, it would have been the most awaited course, but nothing. The two first courses: ravioli filled with spinach and ricotta with butter and sage. They were 3 in number and overcooked. However, being hungry, we ask for an encore. This time the cooking was spot on. Second course, tagliatelle with wild boar ragout. Overcooked tagliatelle and non-boar ragù. For second peposo with boiled potatoes. Minimal portion here too. Undrinkable wine. We were only two tables of two people. Now, I wonder, if it doesn't suit you to open the kitchen for just 4 people, don't do it! The quality, the portions, the cooking: all wrong. Nothing that suggests you are eating on a farm. Disappointing.
