The agriturismo

Il Borgo di Alica is an agritourism complex nestled in the heart of Tuscany; It has a strategic position, as it offers tourists the tranquility and quiet typical of the Tuscan countryside, but at the same time is close to the main Tuscan destinations (Pisa, Lucca, Florence, Volterra, San Gimignano, Siena, etc.) and many villages and villages in medieval style. The structure has a large swimming pool (shared) which you can access for the whole day at the times indicated on arrival. You can also order breakfasts and meals with a minimum of notice or choose to participate in one of the tastings (also on request) of the wine produced and certified by us. You can also take advantage of the laundry service during the day with a minimum charge. We wait for you

The accommodation

The farmhouse (whose construction dates back to 1600) has 4 apartments, located in the main building, with shared swimming pool (13 x 6) and solarium. It has a total of 14 beds which can add some beds for children up to 12 years. The apartments are divided as follows: - two-room apartment with kitchen-dining room (with a possible sofa bed) on the ground floor and on the first floor double bedroom and bathroom with shower - three-room apartment with kitchen and dining room on the ground floor and two bedrooms and two bathrooms with shower on the first floor (the two bedrooms are one double and one with two single beds) - three-room apartment on the second floor with large kitchen-dining room and two bedrooms (one double and one with 2 single beds and a bathroom with shower) - Superior three-room apartment with kitchen-dining room, living room with two sofas (one sofa-bed), bathroom with shower, then we have two double bedrooms on the upper floor (with the possibility of adding a folding single bed) and a large bathroom with shower. Each of the 4 apartments can take advantage of the outdoor area, equipped with tables and umbrellas. At 100 meters from the pool, the Farmhouse has a charming house, the Canonica, the former residence of the Prior, built in the year 1225, for a total of 8 beds to which beds for children up to 12 years can be added. It is as follows: large hall at the entrance, dining room and kitchen, two double bedrooms (each with private bathroom with shower); upstairs a double bedroom and a bedroom with 2 single beds with a bathroom with shower. Outside a terrace where you can taste good wine or spend pleasant evenings in front of our beautiful landscape. From our structure you can reach the main Tuscan cities or points of interest in maximum one hour by car. Just a few kilometers away you will find a supermarket and the main services (food, tobacco, newsagent, pharmacy, medical point, bank, postal service, laundromat, oven, pizzerias and restaurants). The owners you meet at the check in will be available for any information and to make your accommodation as pleasant as possible. It is also possible to visit our winery, where we organize, on request, excellent tastings of our wine, prosotto, purely organic and unique in its kind.

Activities and surrounding

Among the most interesting activities of course you can not miss a stop in some of our most beautiful and famous cities, including Pisa with its famous Piazza dei Miracoli, Florence and its monuments and its historicity, Siena known for its huge historical heritage, artistic, landscape, Volterra and many other medieval villages, with their landscapes, unique in their kind. Also there are many small villages, where you can admire ancient walls, fortresses and maybe participate in one of the many festivals or events that take place in the summer season. In our area there are also many interesting activities, such as guided tours, food and wine tours, visits to historic and important factories such as the pasta factory Martelli, rather than the chocolate factory or dairies in the area. Upon request, you can have a catering service, so you can order breakfast, lunch and dinner with a minimum of notice; our kitchen will be totally homemade with typical local dishes and seasonal products

The gentlemen have booked from the agriturismo.it. They found from comparing the photos in the web side agriturismo. renovated kitchen, beds and some new furniture and one, one old piece of furniture that we will replace as soon as possible, however present in the photos.
They knew perfectly well that there was no dishwasher and they did not even have to wait
the washing machine, as not advertised on the farm site, also knew that there was no air conditioning.
We showed the apartment of 90 square meters, located not on the third floor, but on the second floor, where there are the kitchen and the living room and a bathroom, while the sleeping area is on the upper floor
where it is accessed by an internal staircase and where there are 2 double bedrooms and a second bathroom
made with precious ceramics.
We accommodated their wishes by placing an extra bed in one of the rooms, even though we had prepared the sofa bed in the living room.
The fans that are in the rooms work very well and for almost all the people are sufficient to ensure sufficient comfort from the heat during the night.
We inspected the whole apartment together before delivering it and they told us
that was to their liking-.
In addition to kitchen and bed linen, we have supplied a total of 10 medium towels, 5 small and 2 large towels. Additional service not notified in this web site.
One of these towels showed a brown stain due to contact with the iron and we had not noticed. To their correct grievances we have changed the towel and we have also provided additional 4 large towels.

The next day they complained that the socks of the girl who walked home without shoes got dirty.
We have said that we would have the floor cleaned by the young lady who usually deals with the utmost care of this work. Among other things, she told us that she cleaned THE FLOORS USING HOT WATER TO GET A MORE ACCURATE CLEANING. However, we did and we left them a new mop and a new mop to prevent the next days to re-propose the problem, since in the apartment 4 people used shoes and only one if he took them off. We found them unused.
We told them that it was not possible to use the washing machine during the night, as finding the place in the basement of the building, the buzz of the washing machine could have disturbed the other guests. We dealt with 3 washing machines for them, delivering their clothes,
washed, dry and folded. We have asked them for this service a total of 15 euros.
The Tuscan regional law requires that the accommodation establish a swimming pool regulation,
on which the opening and closing hours of the pool must be indicated.
This is to avoid use at night and to have time to do the daily maintenance of the pool. We are abliged to provide some measurements of the parameters of the water and be sure of its quality.
Furthermore, it is necessary to clean the spaces occupied daily by people and to restore the water levels that in a swimming pool of this size requires about half hour every day..
We asked for payment of the apartment when the lords requested their passports back. At that point if the apartment had not gone well, we had not received anything.
They could have left it and found another place.
