Pizzeria La Selva - CALENZANO

Came here from their sister hotel for dinner. Not sure what to expect but we didn’t expect what we did. We thought we had gate-crashed somebody’s wedding. There were lots of people there. The tables and chairs had been laid out like a wedding. People were staring at us because we were strangers..... Anyway, it turns out that this is a local, weekly social event and we were made to feel very welcome. And people were only staring at me because my face was red with sunburn! Service was a bit slow at first but this was due to it being so busy, but things quickened up. Waiters were friendly and helpful. Food was pretty good and prices very reasonable.

On the 2nd of January not so many restaurants work in Calenzano, this one is open. We decided to try pizza, it was a good one both capriciosa and quatro formaggie). We did eat much better pizza during our vacations in Italy, but thus one we had no reasson to complaint.. Service was excellent, domestic red vine very good , drafted beer also. In total 27eur was ok for everything we got 2 pizzas, 1/4of vine, larfe drsfted beer).

Upon arrival from the exterior this is incredibly understated. Once inside such a family feel to this Tuscan delight. Superb insalata followed by a pasta dish unequalled in flavour with an excellent house red vino, a lovely evening spent in romance.

Avoid this place if you can. This hotel has a large restaurant, which they rent out for parties. At night, very loud music continued past 3 am. It was impossible to sleep. Also, don't count on this hotel being close to the highway. To get there from the highway requires 15 minutes detour. Rooms are a bit dated, and breakfast is mediocre. Staff doesn't speak English. Hugely disappointed...

Future guests should be aware of the fact that this hotel has a restaurant connected to it that hosts parties. This caused my family and I to experience an excessive amount of noise at night and made it so that there were insufficient parking spaces available for actual hotel guests. The room itself was sufficiently clean and new towels were supplied daily. However, the walls were quite thin, breakfast was limited and the airconditioning unit did not seem to have the capacity to live up to the temperature it showed on the display. Furthermore, I do find I important to note that my belongings were moved around the room after being away all day. I assume this was the result of the daily cleaning service. Also, even though this is solely connected to my personal experience at the hotel, after being away one day, I came back to a foul smelling room, which resulted from a liquid that I found some of my belongings soaked in.
