Il Ciocco Hotels ★★★

"Intrigued by the reviews and the beautiful view, I was lucky enough to find an exceptional offer for this property, opting for a private chalet, with continental breakfast included in the price, for a total of around €200 (instead of €400 or even €500). € offered by other sites). Right from the start, the staff proved to be more than willing to provide us with information on the structure and the surroundings, but above all on how to reach them (considering that the complex is located approximately 660m above sea level). After checking in, which was carried out without problems and with the payment of the tourist tax (€4 for two nights), we headed to the Chalet (which is about 500m from the reception). Equipped with every comfort, the chalet was a fantastic surprise, even though the shower had a curtain (an aspect that I personally didn't appreciate much, but which doesn't affect my overall rating). Air conditioning in every room (including bathroom) and equipped kitchen (note: oven, dishwasher and microwave are missing). Breakfast is served every morning (07.30 - 10.00) at the Locanda alla Posta (not even 100 meters from the Chalets), and is plentiful (especially if consumed between 07.30 and 09.00), mainly composed of sweet, rather than savory, dishes. The structure also offers the possibility of renting bikes to discover the various wooded areas of the estate (half day: €25.00; full day: €40.00). However, during the period of stay (08-10 April) the service was not available because the bike attendant was absent. Overall, our experience was more than positive. The only sore point: the annoying presence of bedbugs which, despite the windows being closed, still managed to show up again and again without giving any respite. We will have removed about 30/35 in a whole day. We reported the problem to the reception: they apologized for the inconvenience, and the cleaning ladies proceeded (promptly, I dare say) to remove the last bedbugs, which we voluntarily left undisturbed on the kitchen curtains to "testify" to their actual presence. I recommend this structure if you want to completely disconnect from chaotic reality (and especially if you have a car to discover the surroundings)."

Renaissance Tuscany Il Ciocco Resort & Spa ★★★★

"We arrived in a rainy period but were so warmly welcomed. We were so happy with the room and the understated elegance of the whole hotel. Every member of staff goes out of the way to be polite and helpful. The location being up high gives such breath taking views. We only had B&B, but the breakfast selection was vast and of excellent quality. Everything about the hotel says luxury hotel. As it was raining quite heavily we were stuck in, but were able to use the amazing pool and spa facilities - steam & sauna. We also used the most well equipped large gym I have ever seen in a hotel. Like other reviewers here, I was a little reticent due to some bad reviews, but I am a seasoned traveller and I am unable to fathom how anyone could come away from here with a bad opinion. It's an amazing grand hotel of 5 star quality. Thank you to all the staff from the reception, the restaurant, the bar, the maids and the lovely room service boy. The staff are a credit to this very cool, grand old hotel! Thank you!"

Villa Moorings ★★★

"Old building but well maintained We were given a very large bedroom/ mini suite with bathroom, separated by a small room. Bed looks old but actually is quite comfortable. Missed small things like complimentary bottle of water; box of tissue paper Nice shower Fabulous views and enjoyed the balcony Breakfast consists of a simple buffet from 8.30-11 Two floors of rooms. Lots of stairs with no elevators Owned by Beatrice. Answers questions but doesn’t really proactively offer advice. Real treasure is Nadia who looks after you at breakfast in such a cheerful manner Lots of free onsite parking Not too far a walk to the old town of Barga"
