We rented a car with my wife from Milan during easter and drove here for 3 days and continued to Rome from where we flew back.

Ok, it might not be the prettiest or the newest hotel. But it sufficed very well for us as a base to see Tuscany and Florence with our car. The shuttle works very well, although remember to be early for the last one back since it will probably get full and then you need to take a cab. Ample parking and the motorway entry very handily just half a mile away.

Bed was a bit hard, and true to italian style the breakfast not that special. But we loved the extended weekend. Service was good and the restaurant downstairs surprisingly good.

p.s. With just over hour's driving you can reach Montalcino, Montepulciano, Pisa and Siena for example. Designer factory outlets (Gucci, Salvatore Ferragamo, D&G, Bottega Veneto, Trussardi etc all closer than half an hour).
