Agriturismo La Rugea - Le Spighe

  : Atmosphere of the property. But because of the pool rates, the total experience is worst ever.
  : Very tricky way of getting people to pay extra for using the pool. In the general description it says 'free wifi, 2 pools, jacuzzi, gym etc' but this does not mean free POOL. You have to read the small print to see they charge extra for the pools. Allright, no big deal I would say, but then you find out that extra charge is 375 euro a WEEK, for a family of 3. They use a sketchy pricing structure where weekdays are 10 euro pp, Saturdays are 20 euro and Sundays are 25 euro pp. And then on Wednesday they tell you; 'oh it is a holiday, so we use 'Sunday pricing'. Shameless beheviour and my first ever hotel in 25 years of travelling that charges extra, let alone this much extra, for using a pool, in a summer in a country where it is always 30+ degrees, and a pool is kind of the whole selling point of such an hotel/agriturismo. Their response: Oh this is normal in Italy...and we keep room rates lower by this (what's next, charge for the fridge, charge for cleaning, charge for towels?) Later during the week we found other guests, asking us about the ridiculous poolrates... And a few days later they changed the rates to 1 weekday price and 1 weekendprice, still 10/20 euro a day per person. It is a real shame that they do this because other than that the place is nice.

  : The setting of the accommodation was beautiful. We approached it down a tree lined avenue. The outside pools and surroundings were immaculate. We didn't use the inside pool or gym areas. It was great to have free parking and a good base to travel to Florence. You need transport to stay here but it is a short drive to the train station.
  : The actual room felt a little dated and the cooking facilities disappointing. We didn't like paying a supplement to use the pool. We stayed four nights. The charge is 10 euros each on Saturdays which increases to 20 euros each on Sundays. On the Tuesday we were also charged 20 euros each (usually 10) as it was a public holiday. The pool was heaving and there were very few sun beds or space in the pool. You also need to wear a swimming hat which are sold on site but can be borrowed too.

  : Good location, clean room, air condition and parking
  : The description on booking wasnt correct, it was written that its a 25 m room with separate living room and a bedroom we received one room, also said have microwave and there was none, the images showed a nicer room than the one we actually received, after talking with the reception about that they said its a mistake on booking ,
