Agriturismo le Baccane

Location & Ambiance: Nestled in Tuscany’s countryside with a tranquil, green environment, ideal for relaxation and exploring nearby cities like Pisa and Florence.

Don’t believe the pictures. Or the pitch. The place is VERY tired, the staircase is terrifying and feels unsafe. Like EasyJet, there are hidden costs: 20 Euros “towel fee”; 15 Euros for breakfast. Cats everywhere, including on dining tables, so if you are allergic, forget about it. Thin walls so you can hear clearly everything your neighbors are up to. And hospitable is not the best word to describe the owners. When we complained—about no one leaving a key because our plane was late and we couldn’t arrive before ten pm, and we called twice to tell them and were told it’d be fine—we were told we had “bad behavior,” and that there were “cameras everywhere,” and that we’d be reported to Trip Advisor and bad guests. Then they stuck us with an 240 Euro bill for one night’s sleep—we left before our second night because energy and the state of the place and the reception were so off-putting. I would not take children there; they might wind up with tetanus. I travel for a living and this is perhaps the worst place I have ever stayed—and that’s saying something. I’m sure they will respond to this. But read the other one-star reviews. You’ll see ours is not a one-off experience. The people who rate it excellent must be high.
