Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had an amazing experience at this hotel! The rooms had an amazing view to two sides, a wonderful terrace, and a balcony. The service was top-notch with friendly staff ready to assist, and the location, inside a 700-year-old former monastery, was perfect for exploring the city. The dining experience, with excellent patisserie and Italian music playing, was a highlight. The facilities were exceptional, making my stay comfortable and enjoyable.
I had a wonderful time at this hotel, surrounded by the stunning Tuscan landscape. The room with the lovely shower and balcony offered breathtaking views. The service was top-notch, and the location within the city walls was perfect for exploring Siena. The dining experience with lovely cakes was a delightful touch.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The outdoor balcony rooms offered an amazing view, but the price was a bit higher than expected. The service was top-notch, especially at reception, but I wish they had more tour assistance available. The location within the city walls was perfect for exploring Siena, though the area was somewhat limited. Dining with lovely cakes was a delightful experience, and the facilities were modern and convenient.
