Pfa Hotel la Darsena - Follonica ★★★

"POOR stay, to say the least. Upon arrival, they immediately asked us to pay the balance due, so we confidently did so (something I'll never do again). The room was on the first floor, actually a basement. It was damp from the floor and the floors above. The furniture was rotting, eaten away by the humidity and fixed with tape. It smelled musty and stuffy, and it was cold because the air conditioning wasn't working. Unfortunately, we couldn't find another place to stay, otherwise we would have left. Since it was a vacation, we took the positives: the kindness of the staff (who tried to get us a room change, but it was still old and run-down), the cleanliness (it's difficult, but they try), and the good breakfast."

Marina di Scarlino Resort ★★★

"This resort is gorgeous. The apartments are spacious and beautifully laid out. The terrace we had was huge and well equipped with table, chairs, sofas and sun loungers and the generous use of plants both adds interest and offers some privacy between apartments. We were in Blue Swan, two bed two bath, sharing with family and it was every bit as lovely as the pictures. We enjoyed the beautiful pool, the marvellous views and stunning sun sets as well as the restaurants within very easy reach. The kitchen is small, but has everything you need. As we had a baby with us we tended to lunch out and eat in for dinner. There is a very useful small,supermarket on site, plus huge supermarkets with everything you could ever need just a few km away in Follonica. The reception team were extremely helpful and welcoming on arrival and check out. And a very special thank you to the housekeeping team who serviced the apartment every day with fresh towels, rubbish removal (including nappies) coffee replenishment and cleaning. It was upmarket hotel level service in gorgeous self catering apartments. We will return."

Be Vedetta - Relais & Glamping - Adult Only ★★★★★

"This is the ultimate Tuscan experience, from the food to the views and most of all the service, there is no let down.. the location can easily be missed from the main road even though the hotel management have conveniently placed an indicator at the beginning of the dirt road leading to the top of the hill. The climb itself is not for the faint hearted, a wider or low to ground sports car might struggle a bit but it will all be worth it once you made it through the private gates."

Borgo Etrusco ★★★

"The hotel is very well located in the Tuscan hills, it is recommended to have a great location."

Corte dei Tusci Village Palace Hotel ★★★★

"The hotel is ideal for a child-friendly holiday, from parking (free) to restaurant, swimming pools and the beach. We appreciated the cleaning of the whole building and the buffet restaurant, always varied and of good quality (good meals). The staff is always friendly and available with the director always present. Good animation especially for children"

Scarlino Ospitalità Diffusa ★★★

La Residenza del Golfo ★★★

Casa in Maremma Tuscany Village ★★★

"If you enjoy spending your family holidays in a setting stricter than your everyday life, this is the place for you! Here, rules come before anything else. From the moment we arrived, we realised that many of the activities advertised when booking were nowhere to be found on-site. Also, if you don’t speak Italian, expect communication challenges: very few staff speak English, and all activities are conducted exclusively in Italian. As for the pool, swim caps are mandatory for everyone — adults and children alike — even if you just want to dip a toe in the water. And don’t rely on the pool shop: they don’t always sell caps… when it’s even open. The only evening when the pool stays open after 8 p.m., even if your child is a strong swimmer and you are in the water with them, they will still be required to wear armbands. The children’s water play area is not turned on all day, which makes it even less appealing. The so-called water park with a slide? An illusion: it’s not a real pool, just a small basin painted blue. The site is right next to a motorway — convenient for access, but noisy enough to remind you of the city you probably came to escape. Dining experience: • Breakfast: you’d better be an early riser, otherwise the buffet will be almost empty and barely replenished. • Dinner buffet: apart from the pasta — thankfully well cooked — the rest is very disappointing and far from the promise of the promotional videos. • Special dinner events: during a paella night, we had prepaid and ordered our dish in advance, only to be told at 7:30 p.m. that they couldn’t serve us due to insufficient portions — they had simply sold more tickets than meals available. rule: when you arrive, you are assigned a table in the restaurant (inside or outside), and you must eat there for your entire stay with no option to change. We had the misfortune of being placed against a large glass window in direct sunlight, making some meals almost unbearable due to the heat. As for entertainment, it’s limited and far from engaging, at least from what we’ve seen so far,this will certainly be our first and last visit here."

Botrona B&B ★★★

"2 nights. Excellent self-check-in: I was contacted via WhatsApp with all the codes to enter. Breakfast was varied, with both sweet and savory options. Very quiet countryside location. Simple but clean room."
