La Locanda del Minatore

I had booked from 6th to 11th August. I checked in on the 6th. I left on the 7th not giving a damn about the money I already gave. I deluded myself about some positive judgments from local guides which, in the light of my direct experience, I consider very biased. Outdoor swimming pool in plastic fabric reachable via a dirt road in the countryside about 200 meters with murky water without a filtering system. House with old furniture my wife almost got really hurt sitting on a chair whose seat has sagged. Television at least 40 years old not working. Windows without mosquito nets (and there are mosquitoes) oppressive heat there is no air conditioning but not even a fan. The light comes in as soon as the sun comes up because some shutters are broken. Cell phones don't work, you have to get to Massa Marittima (5 km) to be able to make calls. Non-existent WiFi (didn't work for the whole day). I don't understand how they get reservations. My judgment is bad.

non-existent services, area completely isolated from the network, unkept exteriors, lack of shutters on the windows, broken mosquito nets. environment in general poorly maintained, it was not possible to pay by card

Lalocandadelminatore is off the beaten tourist track. It seems there that time stands still. Quiet, dreamy and beautiful.. Iuri and his son Irio, as well as the staff are great hosts, are always there for us. We were often invited to take part in various leisure activities, grilled, horseback riding, taken to the Lago .. and much more. The apartments are rural, simply and functionally furnished, but clean and have their own charm. Dogs are also welcome. For us it is clear and certain: we would love to come back to Capanne next year!!! See you soon ..

apartment in which I stayed (Stella) is not bad but the layout and the lack of shutters in the rooms does not offer shelter from the light and privacy compared to other apartments they give with an entrance and an external table in front of the bedroom windows. Of the 4 windows present, only 1 had usable mosquito nets even if broken, and being near a stables, the presence of flies and horseflies is normal but they should not arrive in the rooms. The bedrooms in this apartment do not have fans. The closed bathroom is not equipped with an extractor fan, perhaps it was once present, now there is a hole in the wall with a power outlet next to it. The wifi is not actually usable, the connectivity jumps constantly and makes it difficult to even receive whatsapp messages, the area has no GSM coverage. In nearby apartments, during a heavy storm there were water infiltrations. Broken masonry barbecue with bricks on hand for protection and grill in very bad condition. Lack of crockery supply. We have not received any suggestions or excursion proposals from the owner, even on request for indications of cellars to visit to buy wine and oil, he remained very generic and did not provide us with any proposals. An excellent potential ruined by the lack of valid care and attention.

The structure is immersed in a truly delightful context, then sleeping in the evening is a pleasure. The rooms are basic but equipped with everything necessary. The cleaning of the swimming pool needs to be improved. The wi-fi connection is also very weak and does not always work. We would have expected upon our arrival to be received by the owner who never showed up and therefore to receive information on the various activities that can be carried out on site. The girl at the reception gave us valid information on places to dine, also because the restaurant in the structure, although advertised on the site, is not operational. Luca

Bad experience of my daughter in the "campus" I found this place looking for a summer campus for kids. As soon as we arrived and saw the structure we had a strong disappointment compared to the photos seen on the inn's website .. dirty and messy .. all approximate .. but we turned a blind eye in the hope that the program planned for the kids would compensate for the conditions of the structure but alas it was not like that .. the 6 boys were isolated in this squalid place without doing practically anything from the morning to the evening .. mediocre food .. every day pasta hamburger fries and not even a fruit or salad. between meals not even a snack from lunch until dinner hungry. The boys ate sugar lumps as a snack because there was nothing else available in the fridge! Shameful! In the middle of summer, never a fruit for a week. After dinner immediately to bed in silence otherwise they were scolded. Activities foreseen in the program not even half respected .. horse riding activities 10 /15 minutes a day instead of hours as written in the program. My daughter couldn't wait to come home from that out of this world lagher! Experience to forget like a bad dream
