The breakfast purchased was excellent The location perfect.

Low score for comfort as cooling system not working. We were told it was turned off however room was heating. Outdoor temp was 22 and room temp was 26. Extremely hot in room while trying to sleep. Could not leave door open as too many bugs entering. We did ask for heating system to be repaired however was not fixed. 4 sleepless nights

Amazing location on top of a mountain, perfect to get away from it all. Solid breakfast. There is a bike rental place where you can rent ebikes to explore the surroundings, which are beautiful.

The room was a little noisy in the night, because you can hear everything thats happening in the building, eg someone taking a shower. It doesnt help that the night is super quiet! so that took some getting used to. Also the breakfast was good, but no fruit or veggies of any kind - perhaps because we were offseason.

We warmly recommend Il Cioccho hotels. We stayed at the Belveder hotel. It is located on the slope of a hill with a picturesque view on the valley where a small town of Barga is located. We are very grateful to the staff of the hotel (and personally to Ms Rosa Rita) who picked us up given the fact that the location was erroneously put on the maps.me map. For future guests: it is advisable to rent a car or pre-order a transfer if you arrive to the nearest train station. The breakfast were excellent and delicious. We would love to come back.

Amazing view from balcony overlooking the Serchio valley and Barga. Beautiful quiet setting. Great breakfast.

The coffee machine and small fridge are in a small foyer shared with another room. A 10 minutes walk uphill to get to the restaurant for breakfast. The restaurant is very close to the chalets so convenient if you're staying at the chalets.

Everything around, room and breakfast is beautiful!

You have to ask for the Wi-Fi connection code at the reception. And then it turns out that it's your room number. There are three QR codes stuck on the mirror, but none of them connect to Wi-Fi, although it would be easier than going to the reception in the middle of the night.

Beautiful views. Very nice breakfast, lovely restaurant with great food. Our chalet was beautiful and had everything we needed

1. Bit of confusion about how to checkout. No one at reception tried ringing, someone finally picked up told me I had to go back up the hill to the restaurant that I just had my breakfast... No one mentioned it before.... 2. Nowhere does it say it's a car racing place, when we came in there was someone practicing making lots of noise and making it hard for us to get to our chalet. 3. Electric charging point not working but even if it did other NON electric cars were parked there (assuming however they were staff)

Lovely room, great view. Lovely restaurant with relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. Great food.

There's actually another hotel on the site (Renaissance) which is where I thought I'd booked. It was a 500m walk or drive to the restaurant up a very steep hill. We're not afraid of exercise so drove to it and walked back....don't think you should drink and drive.

Most things honestly! The rooms are very nice and clean. The staff is absolutely lovely and super helpful! And the location and surroundings are gorgeous.

The location is pretty remote so it can be tricky to get around without a car. However, you can easily get around by taxi or with a rented car.

This small hotel on the top of the mountain is awesome. Older, yet we'll maintained, clean, and incredible views. Breakfast is at the excellent restaurant ten minutes walk uphill. Other delicious meals are also available at the restaurant, and by US standards are affordable. There are roads and paths for trekking, and sports courts if you are interested. There is no pool. Because I was here in off season, there were fewer tourists, so they upgraded my room to one with a balcony and view!!

This location is inaccessible without a vehicle. If you do not rent a car it will be extremely difficult and time consuming to arrive. Also, the property can be a bit confusing when you first arrive- don't stop at the first hotel, the posh Renaissance by Marriott, but continue uphill for 3 more minutes. Lastly it wasn't easy to access information about the hiking trails. Usually the person at the front desk knows all these things, but she had to make some calls and go digging for me. She did find a rough map online and printed it for me though. The property should invest a little more in resources like this for the clients.

Location provided excellent views and access to natural setting for walks (or sports if you do that sort of thing). Due to low volume of clients at this time of year, they upgraded my reservation to a room with balcony and view. Was wonderful. Breakfast was excellent - variety of foods on buffet, and food at the restaurant for dinner was delicious and not terribly expensive by US standards. Restaurant is a 10 minute walk or 3 min drive uphill.

Host who checked me in was very warm and kind, but she didn't know much about the hiking trails on the mountain. She did download and print a Google maps of trails, but it was a bit hard to follow. The resources for this could stand to be improved. One thing to note is the property is really only accessible by car. It would be extremely inconvenient to come and go using public transit or taxis. Thus with the expense of the car rental, it sort of nullifies the good deal I got on the lodging. Also, there is no pool... Somewhere online I saw a picture with a pool saying it was Il Ciocco, but it's definitely not. Perhaps it was of the Renaissance Resort, owned by Marriott and located a.bit further down the mountain.
