Villa Nencini Review

This converted 17th-century farmhouse may be a 10-minute walk from the city, but it's got great countryside views, and Mario Nencini, an ex-trattoria owner, is passionate about wine and keeps a private enoteca downstairs. He appreciates groups, which receive substantial discounts on rooms, and he'll also treat a party of at least six hotel guests to a free tasting in the cellar with snacks. Ground-floor rooms of the newer of the two wings are larger, with independent entrances (note that the reception closes 12:30am-7am), but the trade-off is there are no real views.

Facilities:
Restaurant; concierge; outdoor pool; room service (breakfast and bar); smoke-free rooms

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
