This is a beautifully restored place to stay, and Simonetta is both charming and informative. Our room was very tastefully furnished, the bed is huge and the shower is great. There's a friendly dog, a friendly three-legged cat, and really nice outdoor seating to admire the vineyards and the pool. The only caveat which prevents me from giving this place... More

Just got back from a month at LeCetinelle in Greve and read with astonishment the 2 negative reviews and Simonetta's gracious response -- she gave an apartment to them for a B&B price. Clearly this couple has not traveled extensively, especially in the hottest summer in many, many years. Electricity is mandated in Italy to a certain number of kilowat... More

This is a fantastic place! Simonetta and Luca are fantastic hosts. The house is absolutely wonderful. The drive to the how was an adventure! We had a tiny car and were on gravel for a couple miles but it is totally drivable. This is a great place to come and relax. It's so quiet and beautiful. The house is on... More

A beautiful location, a true "get away from it all" paradise...........yes, it is 4 km up a dirt track, but it was worth it for the views and tranquility.............. Simonetta was very helpful in supplying details for the local bus services to Florence, and the surrounding area, and Lucca helped us with our luggage, and kept the grounds spotless. Thank... More

Overall disappointed with our experience, rooms were stiffling hot without fans or air conditioning. Breakfast poor and no restaurant facilities. 5k out of town along a pitted dirt track so access, especially at night, difficult. Owners response to criticism/request to change rooms, was we should find another place to stay but would still have to pay for full booking with... More

We shortened our stay at this B&B due to no air con / fan (essential when it's late 30's & indoors is hotter than outside & lack of close facilities. The 5km journey from Greve is very difficult & off putting but a neccessary evil if one wants 2 eat. Breakfast was poor & it was only on the second... More

My wife and I spent 6 days at Le Centinelle at the end of June 2011, enjoying the hospitality of Simonetta and her husband, Luca. Their farm is located more than half-way up to the summit of Monte San Michele, along a well-maintained dirt road. The rooms are furnished comfortably, and the house is picturesque and very clean, and all... More

My mother and I had the most wonderful time during our stay in Le Cetinelle. Simonetta went out of her way to help us with our needs and was also always ready to offer advice should we need any. There was one day which we spent solely in the BB and we had a really relaxing and memorable day. To... More

We stayed there for 2 nights in May 2011. The facilities are nice, quiet, far away from public road (you have to be ready to drive on the dirt road for 10-15 minutes through hills with no street lights, we saw some wild pigs and deer every time we rode to Greve in Chianti for dinner/lunch). Nature around is beautiful... More
