Property looks like it was once very nice. Now pretty tired with very little atmosphere. After being disappointed by the very basic breakfast we decided not to dine here for dinner. Staff were friendly but it felt disorganized, restaurant was cold and room off restaurant is a store room. Nothing high end about this place

Elegant villa - running on a shoe string
Lovely villa in it's day.However, no management present , one person left to manage front desk and the few guests, cold breakfast cooked by a novice with 8 baked beans.No lifts for the 3 flights of stairs, no aircon, no fire safety drill or alarm as you are left alone overnight. Falsely advertised as luxury , I've been to better B&B. Shame it's not better managed and looked after as the building is beautiful. This is a 3 star bed and breakfast at best ,

Delightful stay
If I was on my honeymoon I would want to stay there. How can things be improved? You could upgrade your WiFi. We found it slow and so inadequate we couldn't use it. We were in room 5 and there was a faulty electrical wire or connection on the left side of the bed(when looking at it). Also the phone was faulty.

Happy 😊
The only thing i found disheartening was if women were to get makeup on their towels there would be a $50 fee. They had makeup remover wipes but they didnt get rid of the makup. Lucky i had my own.

I find this hotel has the atmosphere of a Villa in Tacany superb Surroundings. Rooms were Warm how we a bit of chill coming through the French doors near balcony. Beds were very comfortable and the fireplace was just so appealing for a chilled time. Just disappointed with not knowing the pool was out of order before arrival however our experience was just lovely. We will come back each year to enjoy our down time here.

Everything was extremely amazing, only downside was the bed was too hard to get a good nights rest on and the shower kept changing temperature when (I assume) another guest used their bathroom.

Our room and bed were great, the staff and service was also fantastic. We had spent the day driving and were able to relax and have a nice hot shower. Only issue we had was the toilet water flow kept running a couple of times and was a little difficult to stop - we notified reception. The breakfast was delicious!

We cannot recommend this place enough! We absolutely loved our recent stay at Villa Howden! The staff were all lovely, friendly and welcoming. The staff even went out of their way to accomodate us in providing an additional room and breakfast free of charge due to a booking error. The facilities and vicinity were very clean and tidy and the building was a beautiful place to rest just outside of the city centre. We absolutely loved our stay and cannot wait to return! Thank you very much to all the staff who made our stay exceptionally memorable! Could not recommend this place enough for those looking for a nice place to relax and recharge from a busy holiday in a beautiful Tuscan/French estate.
