Trattoria Diladdarno In Firenze

05/04/2024: Deciding to stay in this area is hard so I'll be as in depth as i can to help you make your choice. Notes about location: - in my mind everywhere in this area is good. In regards to this place there is a beautiful view over the valley and it is on the high side of the hill with an olive grove that you can explore....I didn't explore but I assume that you'll only see olive trees. Its a nice quiet rural location and although there is a road going right past you we didn't notice the cars much if at all. Up the hill a bit further is a really nice looking town and a nice place to spend a little time. Its not really a place to stay all day for days at a time but its a good place to stay and then travel around. That said, our main focus was Florence (Firenze) on this trip and we should have stayed closer to town than this. Next time we want to explore the region and not go to Firenze at all. I will rate as many aspects as I can out of 5 to help set your expectations; Bed - 3.5/5. Slightly firmer than a Hilton hotel bed but more give in it than a holiday Inn bed. Very supportive. We added a doona under the sheets and it was like a 4.5 bed after that. Pillows were excellent Bathroom - 4.5/5. Toilet and shower was downstairs. No bath and shower recess wasn't massive but adequate. Good water flow Bathroom amenities - 5/5. Not the same as a 5 star hotel but you have everything you need Cleanliness - 5/5 Size of room - 5/5. There is a downstairs loungeroom and an upstairs bedroom - between the two spaces there was plenty of space to put everything Luggage space - 5/5 Comfort and amenities - 5/5, lounge, air con etc. It seems to me that when you use the air con that the radiator heaters turn off (assuming the aircon gets the room above a certain temp). So on the first night we got a little cold until the radiator heaters kicked back in but on the 2nd night we were very cosy. The bedding used blankets rather than a doona and there's an extra blanket in the cupboard which we needed for the first night. Peace and quiet - 5/5 Didn't hear a peep from anyone Food - 5/5. For breakfast I think you can ask for eggs cooked your way - but this wasn't explained to us so we just had boiled eggs. Breakfast isn't like a hotel but there are good selections of a range of options enough to make breakfast very satisfying. Gluten free options were given to my wife. on the 2nd morning we left very early so on the previous night they gave us some yoghurts to out in our fridge over night. We had dinner there which was excellent. Good locally sourced food cooked well. Location - see comments above....you make up your own mind. Wifi - 4/5. Service - 5/5. From reception to restaurant the service was kind and friendly. Overall the room and accommodation generally was very nice and if this location suits you then I highly recommend staying here. yes it looks a little older but that's the charm of it. Our room was on two levels so if you get this room then don't wear socks on the terracotta tiled stairs as it can be a little slippery - or ask for a room without stairs.

25/02/2024: A simply enchanting place where you can eat divinely and the service is very attentive and courteous. Definitely coming back!
