Grand Hotel Bastiani

Grand Hotel Bastiani

8/10 Good
"Very attentive and pleasant staff, excellent location, and a tranquil atmosphere. The hotel is conveniently located near the old town center, where you’ll find some of the best restaurants and bars, yet the surrounding area remains peaceful. The breakfast offered a good variety of options, and the room was very spacious and comfortable. On the downside, taking a shower was somewhat of an ordeal due to the half-door enclosure around the bathtub. Also, the mini-fridge was not cold enough. Overall, a very pleasant stay with a few minor issues that could be improved."

Agriturismo Sweet Cottage

Agriturismo Sweet Cottage

10/10 Excellent
"This place is AMAZING! I cannot stress what a wonderful (ENGLISH SPEAKING) staff they have! I wish I had planned 2 nights here instead of just one. Wife and I on 9 city tour from north to south (Naples, Anzio, Grosseto, Genoa, Pisa, Milan, Florence, Montepulciano, Rome). Some were 2 night stays (never been there) and others were 1 night only (been there at some time in past). DON’T FORGET TO RESERVE lunch and/or dinner on property. Breakfast was included, but you pay for lunch/supper and worth every penny. You need to reserve your meal ahead for their chef. We did not even leave the property. I think maybe best meal we’ve had in Italy. If I had stayed in Grosetto two nights I would have just enjoyed Sweet Cottages the whole time! The pool was AWESOME in mid September!"
