La Martellina is strategically located for those who want to move around by bicycle and is connected to Florence by the cycle path along the Arno river. In the structure there are cats and a large dog, peaceful but they make the stay not suitable for those who do not like or are afraid of these animals. The cleanliness of the common areas is not up to standard: as soon as we arrived at the house there were animal excrements, it was not possible to use the pool (full of leaves and with murky water) and the garden is unfortunately neglected, with hammocks and deck chairs stained and ruined. The main problem in terms of cleanliness was the towels: they looked old, greyed, and there were hairs and orange stains present (like rust). After requesting a change, the situation did not improve, indeed. The Salcio Tower is very particular, it deserves a one-night stay because it feels like sleeping in a castle tower: it is not very comfortable to reach but extremely scenic and, fortunately, it is equipped with air conditioning. The continental buffet breakfast is very varied and well cared for, especially in the savory part, and was served outdoors at a communal table. Overall, the structure has potential, it just needs more care and attention.
