Ristorante Albergo Benigni

A traditional stopping point for generations providing good quality accommodation and excellent food, with a great beer and wine choice. The entrance to the hotel is along the side of the building, and check in is generally after 3pm. If you are eating try to get a table near the fire/grill as watching the chief and the Nonna and her staff is most entertaining. If available the Porcini mushroom is excellent. The pizzas are very large. If you want a full night's sleep ask for a quiet room as the square outside comes to life about 5.30am.

Entrance for hotel is on the left hand side of the building down a driveway with parking in the back. Rooms are neat and clean. Maybe a little dated but not by much. It’s in a good location with several bars and dining options right next to it. If waking the via Francigena it is just part the old village section after you walk under the old porta or gate. WiFi works great.

Booked direct as could only offer an apartment at higher price. When we went to our apartment it had not been cleaned and it smelled of cigarette smoke. Advised the waitress who was looking after reception and after several phone calls said it would be an hour. We waited in The restaurant, ordered a small platter of salami and cheese while we were waiting. No apology! We had walked on via Francigena and were tired. The receptionist came and said we could have the adjacent apartment which had been available all this time. Very poor communication after waiting an hour. Then to rub salt in the wound they charged us 19.50 Eu for the megre plate of antipasto. We did not eat in the restaurant that night. An apology would have helped but this was the worst experience on our via Francigena walk.
