If you’re looking for a charming, not your typical hotel, this is it! From convenient parking, to the staff, the breakfast, the quaint rooms, and overall atmosphere, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay in Siena. The old-world charm of this former monastery just added to the experience. If you’re looking for a great place to stay in Siena, we highly recommend this place. And Siena itself was the perfect place from which to explore the rest of Tuscany by car.

The hotel is set in a lovely authentic building with a central outdoor courtyard. Rooms are spacious, a little tired but very clean. There isn’t a bar, there is a well stocked fridge for guests to serve themselves. Breakfast is good with a good choice. Reception staff could be warmer. Overall not an unpleasant stay

We arrived with a rental car. The instructions given prior were clear, the hotel staff were very informative and helpful. The room was clean and had a nice view of the countryside. Breakfast was included in the stay and was good. The hotel was situated close to the duomo and the piazza del campo. Overall, we had an excellent stay and would recommend it to others.

The construction is going on around the area. I rather not stay in Siena generally. Lots of headache to get in to ZTL area and hard to get out of it. Google map is not accurate. Review saying breakfast is good but not the best.

We stayed on a recommendation of a family member, and we're so glad we did. Check-in was easy, directions were clear, breakfast was provided, and the place was beautiful! When we left early the next morning, the attendant called us a taxi and had the dining room prepare us a breakfast to go, with pastries, yogurt, and bottled water. Extremely accommodating! Can't wait to return!

The place was quirky with a lovely outside area to sit and enjoy. The staff we great, kind, polite and very helpful. The only downside was that there was a loose tile on our floor which was a trip hazard and there was no heating. We did however enjoy our time at the hotel and would definitely visit again.
