I used a hostel for the first time, but this structure is very close to a hotel as well. The double bed room is very spacious with an equally spacious bathroom. I couldn't have breakfast only because I had to leave at 05.30 in the morning. Overall, the judgment is positive.

Nice location, I was traveling by motorcycle so even though it's a bit out of town, it didn't cause me any problems.

The location of the hostel allows you to fully enjoy a pleasant climate even during the month of August. During the stay, you benefit from peace and tranquility. The room is essential but comfortable and bright with the advantage of a balcony from which you can enjoy the view of the beautiful surrounding landscape. Excellent choice to include fresh cakes made in the structure's kitchen in the breakfast.

The Wi-Fi needs improvement. Fortunately, I didn't need it but in case of necessity, not having data and Wi-Fi in the room could cause inconvenience.

The answer from the host:
Gentilissima, purtroppo ci sono cose che è possibile fare e altre che non lo sono. Ho visto dai suoi giudizi specifici che ha assegnato un punteggio basso alla colazione e al wi-fi: 1 - Nel caso della colazione, ahimè, con le norme anticovid non è possibile fare di più. Stiamo già facendo un grossissimo sforzo. Abbiamo una persona ad assistervi e un buffet di dolci freschi. Purtroppo la fila è obbligatoria e le quantità in prima battute sono limitate al vassoio. Potevate tornare indietro e rifare la fila. Capisco la scocciatura, ma non so davvero come ovviare. 2 - Il wifi. Pure se avessimo una rete capillarmente diffusa in tutto l'ostello ci sarebbero grossi problemi. A monte di qualsiasi rete ci deve essere un accesso ad internet e nella posizione in cui si trova l'ostello possiamo solo avere una Adsl di Telecom a 4mb. Avere un wifi diffuso e capillare peggiorerebbe solamente la situazione. Non vi sono altre soluzioni. CI troviamo in un cono tra monte Calvi e la Rocca di San Silvestro per il quale anche le connessione satellitari o via radio, purtroppo non arrivano. Unica soluzione e Telecom adsl a 4mb. Spiacenti!

An oasis of peace where one feels at home. Beautiful place with exceptional quality/price ratio. We also had dinner at the Student's Hostel Gowett, the dinner was delicious!
stayed from 06/03/2021 to 06/04/2021
The answer from the host:
Grazie, mi dispiace per il voto della colazione e mi scuso con voi. In genere le nostre colazioni sono sempre state un punto di forza, ma il nuovo personale e le norme anticovid non ci hanno permesso di lasciarvi soddisfatti. Chiediamo scusa!
ilenia
Beautiful experience. Friendly and helpful manager. Structure immersed in the greenery of the Archeominerario di San Silvestro Park. San Vincenzo and Campiglia easily reachable. Abundant breakfast, excellent room cleanliness.

Considering the beautiful location and the remarkable potential of the property, by taking better care of some details, the pleasantness of the stay would greatly improve. Some examples: better lighting in the bathrooms and rooms, more thorough cleaning, provision of bedside tables and shower mats. That said, breakfasts are good and plentiful, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the evening dinner is also excellent.

Hostel is positioned very well, close to all the surrounding villages. Clean, hospitable and with helpful and welcoming staff!

Nice facility and welcoming staff. Recommended. Suggestion: Pay attention to the road signs as maps mistakenly take you on a dirt road. The road to reach the Student's Hostel Gowett is completely paved.

A special place for those who don't have big expectations and love tranquility, cool, immersed in the quarries. Alessio and all the staff are very kind and also know how to recommend great places to eat.

The structure is very beautiful, immersed in a stunning park, at night you can see the stars very well! Close to the main beaches and villages in the area. The managers are very kind and helpful. The breakfast is really abundant, the only flaw perhaps, for us who are sensitive, is the use of many disposable single portions, maybe due to the new anti-Covid regulations. We had a great time! Recommended!

Grazie per il commento positivo. Ci dispiace che, nonostante i nostri sforzi, abbia giudicato la nostra colazione appena sufficiente. Speriamo di poterla avere nuovamente nostra ospite quando l'emergenza Covid sarà finita!

Alessio & Antonella are exquisite and always available people, they manage the accommodation facility with professionalism and attention. Excellent breakfast in terms of quality and quantity, the rooms are essential but functional. \nExaggerated quality-price ratio. \nThe stay at 'Govett' palace is definitely an experience to repeat and recommend.

I had already been their guest and the choice was positively rewarded by the magical place where to rest and enjoy the view among the greenery and the sound of birds in the morning. Kind and helpful reception. Great breakfast. I will return for the next stays in the area.

I came with two friends for a weekend, and we had a very good time, it is very spartan (as indeed a hostel should be) but comfortable. Maybe some details should be taken care of more, like the shower mat, to avoid flooding everything. But, as I said, they are details. I will definitely come back.
stayed from 06/22/2018 to 06/24/2018

I stayed one night with 10 other friends. Excellent structure in the area with a spectacular view, in the middle of a mining valley. Excellent value for money. I will come back.

Great hostel. Clean and comfortable. Large rooms with en-suite bathroom. Good breakfast. Beautiful location but a car is necessary. Friendly staff.

Welcoming, simple and clean environment. Comfortable beds and well-equipped private bathroom in the room. Nice location in the greenery of San Silvestro Park and close to the famous locations of Campiglia Marittima and San Vincenzo. Nice welcome and availability of the manager. Truly a pleasant experience.

The location of the structure is spectacular: immersed in nature and isolated from the rest of the world (but reachable in just 10 minutes by car, if you really miss it). Excellent hospitality from the manager: he understood our needs (two small children) and gave us advice and directions on places to see and local venues to frequent, which were truly appreciated.
stayed from 05/31/2014 to 06/02/2014
giulia
We had a good time in a clean, welcoming, and very particular place from a landscape point of view. In fact, the place is really special for its location and the history of the structure. It is worth keeping in mind.
