This hotel was perfect for us as a relaxed base close to Siena and surrounding Tuscan hilltop towns. For that, you have to accept that character hotels like this with the staff ratios needed are necessarily on the high side of the price range. We booked five individual rooms for 8 nights and we hired a large car to accommodate us in comfort. With three adult children, visiting Siena, Volterra, San Gimignano and Monterrigioni were a must, and all were within 40 minutes. The hotel was great, grounds were lovely, parking in a secure gated carpark was easy and the location quiet and well kept. Super breakfasts on the terrace with an excellent and wide range of choice. Although we ate out most nights, the dinner and barbeque were very good overall, with nice variety of high quality options. The staff could not have been more helpful if not occassionally over familiar in their efforts to please.
The pool was wonderful, the gardens offered plenty of shade and space, with cushioned sun loungers and plentiful supply of iced lemon and orange water.
The rooms were cleaned every day with fresh towels when needed, beds were firm and comfortable, air conditioning and wifi worked very well.
The hotel was better than some of the 5 star hotels we have stayed at in the UK and Northern Europe previously. It was what we needed post-COVID....
