"We stayed at this basic but nice 3-star hotel just one night while visiting Siena. We had a room for 3 for my wife and I and our adult daughter. The hotel was easy walking distance from the train/bus station. It's kind of weird because you enter an indoor shopping area across the street from the station and then go up about 6 banks of escalators to get up the hillside. Then the hotel is just a block away. One of the AC units didn't work but friendly staff helped start the other one. All staff were very friendly and spoke English. Easy walk a few blocks into the old city. Wonderful breakfast!!! We were able to leave our bags for most of the day while we explored the city prior to leaving on the bus again. I would definitely stay again."

"We were in one of the other wings so it wasn't in the main building. It was a rainy week and we had a wedding and there were no rooms in the main building to accommodate us. There is no overhead so you will get wet and there are a million stairs to get to that wing (you will need help if you have a ton of luggage as well). The hotel is far from city center too, you need to plan your cabs out accordingly."

"Beautiful property, clean and spacious room, great service. We are so thankful for our stay at this property. We had a patio outside our room, and this was a highlight for me. The restaurant had a bar with local wines and snacks; we could then sit outside and relax in peace. We did one of the wine tastings with the hotel, which was fabulous. We ate at the restaurant; my teenage children each found something they enjoyed. It is located outside of Florence, so we did have a bit of a drive each day to see different sites, but the property made the stay very well worth it. Breakfast each day was also really wonderful,"
