Reviews for Park Hotel Le Fonti

Review 1：Wifi didn't work very well in the room The hotel is a little bit far from the citty center. If you don't have car it could be a problem specially by night

Review 2：The girl who attended me at the reception was very kind, and helped me a lot.

Review 3：not working whirlpool, not hot water in shower, we were invited for special dinner in hotel restaurant in welcome letter but unfortunately half of the dishes in menu were not available because of broken oven. After first night we decided to move to another hotel. not worthed 4 star hotel in Tuscany.

Review 4：friendly and helpful receptionist.

Review 5：Spa area was under renovation so couldn't use it! Would've loved to have breakfast on the beautiful terrace, but i guess it was not warm enough for that option.

Review 6：Staff very helpfull (molto gentile), quiet and clean room, great location.

Review 7：There was not a thing that I could honestly say we didn't like about the hotel. We would definitely go back and recommend to other travelers. We certainly got our exercise in walking into Volterra.

Review 8：Staff was exceptional. Special mention Romena and Johnathan for helping my wife and I out of a jam when our rental car broke down. There was another lady at the front desk that was also exceptional ( sorry- didn't write down her name). Without their help with our situation, I am not sure what my wife and I would do. Thank you again.

Review 9：It was too cold for us to take a swim in the gorgeous pool, wrong time of year!

Review 10：The location was perfect, within walking distance of the town. We were greeted by the most lovely young woman who gave us excellent information and directions. Our room was large and comfortable with an incredible view of the Tuscan hills and the beautiful pool. I would definitely stay here if I ever get back to Italy. All of the staff was wonderful and the breakfast was great too.

Review 11：Breakfast buffet of average quality. Long and steep walk to the old town.

Review 12：Spacious and comfortable room. Beautiful view and large swimming pool. Good food at the restaurant.

Review 13：tourist busload staying and taking over the facilities esp. the restaurant. Hard uphill walk to the town. Poor tv and wifi reception.

Review 14：Nice views and good pool

Review 15：Wi-FI didn't work in the lobby as it was supposed to do, but we we're lucky - it worked in our room. That seemed completly random though.

Review 16：We liked the pool, terrace and the fantastic view!!!

Review 17：Rooms are outdated and this counts for some other areas too, but nothing major. The window had a leakage problem and the room had a private swimming pool two times.

Review 18：The view on the valley is beautiful and their biggest USP. Also they have a beautiful horizon swimming pool. Restaurant, bar and terras are supreme.The ambiance gives a high class feel.

Review 19：Wi-Fi was only available in the reception and even there it was barely usable to due probably bad or insufficient internet connection. Although the breakfast is very good and high quality it lacks variety.

Review 20：Superb staff. Everybody was very helpful, friendly and open. We couldn't ask anything that we didn't get helped with or got resolved. The location is great and opens a beautiful view in the tuscan valley. The room is spacious and the bathroom gives the feeling of a rustic castle.

Review 21：Breakfast was fairly basic and bar service could be faster.

Review 22：Good pool and fabulous country views, friendly staff. Possible to walk into the historic centre of Volterra.

Review 23：It was a comfortable hotel with a fine location just outside the walls of Volterra. But there was nothing terribly remarkable about it. The staff was helpful and nice. The restaurant was fine for dinner but not REALLY exciting.

Review 24：Breakfast - if you just wanted a quick Italian breakfast you had to sit somewhere special. This was not communicated. It caused some confusion which could have been handled more gracefully.

Review 25：The receptionist arrange a hotel taxi to Volterra. Thanks so much! The pool was great - it was a relief during the heat wave.

Review 26：For our convenient the bed was too soft, but this is a totally individual taste.

Review 27：The location of the hotel is perfect, the view from the swimming pool is breathtaking. The staff of the hotel is a very helpful team from the cleaning ladies till the waitresses and receptionists.

Review 28：The walk up the hill is very hard on a hot night, but we couldn't fault anything else!

Review 29：The friendly staff great service nothing too much trouble. The room and the view. The whole experience was fab. We will be back. Fresh towels included each day for the pool.

Review 30：No wifi in rooms . Only in reception

Review 31：Great view and pool especially on long hot days. Steep walk up hill to volterra but a lovely town . Nice restaurant on terrace in hotel

Review 32：Wedding party dominated the hotel. Very noisy, drunk people shouting outside our window at 2 am. No considering for anyone else. Horrible "entitled" people. Bride was about 8 months pregnant.

Review 33：Proximity to town centre. Lovely friendly family-run hotel.

Review 34：The bed was very firm and the air conditioning in the hotel was not working, so we hardly slept.

Review 35：The quiet convenient location, pool and grounds and the views were wonderful. The furnishings and decor were excellent. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Review 36：The WiFi is patchy and incredibly frustrating. Would recommend boosters to the hotel! The 'spa' facilities need an overhaul. Broken Jacuzzi, emotive shower spews onto the walkway and starts off so cold I nearly fell out of the cubicle, Sauna wasn't on and by the time it warmed up the timer switched off and didn't allow us to switch it back on. Wasn't even a Bath in the Room to relax in.

Review 37：The staff are excellent, particularly the Barman The food is great and reasonably priced The outdoor terrace is magnificent on an evening The rooms were fine and very clean the price was extraordinarily good value, particularly for the location

Review 38：Poor communications regarding transportation into the town. Given walking directions, later learned there was a shuttle. Tough up hill climb. Restaurant B+, but best option at night because of distance to the town. Shuttle did not run past 7:00 pm. Noisy room, poorly ventilated,

Review 39：Staff very nice, pretty view. Recommend without knowing all options.

Review 40：Think the jacuzzi etc could have been a bit better cared for. Towelling robe for the duration would be a good idea

Review 41：Peacefulness and very helpfull and friendly staff

Review 42：Nothing

Review 43：The entrance to Le Fonti gives you a feeling of luxury, and when you enter the terraces with the views you are on top of Tuscany. Breakfast is very good and the restaurant with its wine is excellent. This is a hotel we definitely will return to.

Review 44：The pool bar/restaurant is not fitting this hotel. If you want a snack it's premade all on paper type plates with plastic cups. Whilst this is suitable for small kids, we would have enjoyed a freshly made salad served on proper crockery and cutlery and some wine in a wine glass.

Review 45：The hotel is a great location to walk into the town. It is quite a slope but took us about 10 minutes. Great for coming home to enjoy the pool and views of the country after shopping and visiting the town. Again very suitable to walk into town again in the evening for dinner. The breakfast was good and varied. Room had a great view of the pool area and countryside

Review 46：the bedroom needs updating with fabrics and furnishings more information re the hotel and its facilities should have been provided in the room more information about the local area also to peruse at leisure in the room would have been helpful

Review 47：the restaurant the bar area and terrace the swimming pool the spa

Review 48：Room decor needs an upgrade.

Review 49：Stunning view of the countryside over the pool. Hotel provided a bottle of Prosecco as it was our wedding anniversary . Nice out of town retreat.

Review 50：The hotel did not have a shuttle service to the town. One must either take a cab, walk ( despite the fact that we walk a lot during vacations and are very much in shape, we could not walk the steep hills); fortunately, we discovered a bus stop near the hotel.
