The idea of being in the Tuscan countryside is beautiful until you spend a night at Bosco della Spina. We should’ve spent a little more and gone to another nearby property with more amenities. This property is located about 30 minutes outside of Siena, Taxis from Siena cost €70 each way. One must have a car if staying here. We were first turned off with their extremely uncomfortable bed and pillows. It was easier to sleep on the floor. Then guest services informed us of a €2 surcharge for extra towels for their pool. Seating is very limited in the pool area. Not much to do in the area and public transportation is very limited. The breakfast options are not worth the charge and the dinner is not great.

I'm sorry you didn't appreciate the peace and relaxation that a stay in the countryside, even for some days, can offer. It is not true that we do not have services: we have all the necessary services that allow you to relax in the garden, in the swimming pool, playing ping-pong or billiards or table football, drinking a good Tuscan wine and savoring good food in front of a wonderful typically Tuscan panorama.The car is also recommended by us because in the countryside, in Italy, public transport is not very efficient and taxis are expensive. If you had asked us for advice before coming, it would certainly have been suggested.

Really liked this place. Lovely place to take it easy. Covered pool which was great, meant we could actually use it unlike anywhere it seems with an outdoor pool this time of year (October). Not much to do near to the hotel but this I guess is the point of a retreat! They have a restaurant which looked good. Room very comfortable, large bathroom and separate sitting area. Recommended.

Lovely place. We spent 4 nights here and even though it was October and starting to cool off a little - we could still have a swim to finish a busy day. Loved setting and great views from the apartment. Only downside was the WiFi was annoying. It would constantly kick us out and We had to keep logging in many times each day.

Beautiful apartment in well maintained grounds with excellent facilities.
The apartment at Bosco della Spina was spacious, beautiful and immaculately clean. The grounds and swimming pool were well kept and the food at the restaurant was excellent. All staff were incredibly helpful. As a family of four, we had a great stay.

Bosco della Spina was wonderful! The service was top notch. Our room was quiet and clean with a beautiful view of the sunrise. Having a delicious restaurant on site was great for the first night when we were too tired to go anywhere else. Parking was super convenient. We hope to be back one day!

We really enjoyed staying here during our honeymoon in Italy. Bosco della Spina was a very pleasant surprise while we were in Tuscany. If you're looking for a relaxed environment in a beautiful setting, look no further. The property has a wonderful view (especially in the evening) which can be enjoyed from your room, walking the property, or from the restaurant/patio. No need to look for a restaurant, the restaurant on site is fantastic with changing daily selection for dinner and lunch. Great inexpensive house wines as well. We really enjoyed using this as a base to drive around the area nearby during the day and relax in the evening. Very friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms. Lovely infinity pool and deck to enjoy the sun (or sunset). Would be happy staying here again.

Idyllic stay in Tuscany country side
We liked very much this very nice and modern renovated old land house. Apartment was styled minimalistic, but still feels very warm and comfortable. This dog friendly place is ideal for people that like to explore suroundings (Siena is only 25 km away), but stay in the nature. Staff is very friendly. Brefkfast was simple, but offering only good local products.

It was extraordinary. Its location was remote but pastoral and very soothing. It was connected to many important sites in Tuscany such as Florence and Siena in an hour's drive by highways. The accommodations were modern, clean and very elegant. The staff was very helpful and willing to assist with any questions. It is a country resort, great for families and couples. I highly recommend it.

Great place to stay
In the middle of the Italian country side. We found this place while traveling around and found this gem. The rooms we great and the restaurant was fabulous. Only reason they didn’t get prefect was check out was not easy. No one was around for 15 minutes. Other than that we had a wonderful experience. Love the cappuccino designs!!!

Hidden Tuscan Gem!
This place is a hidden gem!!! It is beautiful. Old world feel with modern amenities. Great combination. The restaurant was great with freshly made chocolate croissants . The rooms had a nice stylish feel. Exceeded my expectations. We only stayed there 1 night. I wish we were there for a week. About 15 min from Siena. Feels like the heart of Tuscany. Would love to stay there again.

If you want to stay in a tiny medieval town with a wonderful view of the Tuscany landscape, this is a wonderful place. About 30 minutes from Siena. Clean, modern amenities, wonderful pool, friendly, helpful staff. Only complaint, no Wifi in the rooms.

Beautiful location
We loved our stay here. Our split level apartment with a private terrace was very spacious for our family of 5. The view from the pool was amazing. We had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant which was nice. The location was a little further south from Florence than I would have liked however coming back to such a wonderful place each night made up for it!

Amazing Tuscan experience!
This country resort exceeded our expectations. The staff was lovely. The hotel was very well appointed and much attention to detail. The landscape was amazing. If you are looking for a place to decompress and enjoy some great wine this is it! And with a car... Just short trips to other charming areas for great day trips! Truly lovely!!!

Beautifully renovated, gorgeous surroundings
Bosco Della Spina is a beautiful place to spend some time and explore Toscana from there. Spacious rooms, beautifully designed. Excellent staff, always friendly and willing to help. In the middle of rolling fields of grain, in tiny Pulompesi, this place gives you the authentic feel of Tuscany. Highly recommended!

Charming hotel framed by postcard-like landscapes. Beautiful interiors, modern yet faithful to their past, and the outdoor areas, surrounded by green and wisteria. Breakfast was outstanding.

Overall a good location
Central location. Easy to find and reasonably close to the highway. Loved the view from our room but the service was less than expected. The beds didn't get made and a fresh bath mat was not provided for our second day. We waited for close to an hour after dinner to be told the cost of the meal would be added to our room. It was a busy weekend and despite the negative we enjoyed our stay.

Bosco della Spina - fabulous
This was everything we were looking for and more. Acommodation was stylish rustic and surrounding views and facilities excellent. Option to either take B&B or utilise kitchen facilities in the apartment which is great if you intent to stay more than a few days. To top all this, the restaurant was some of the best food we have eaten in Italy with relaxed, efficient service. We visited off peak but would like to return when weather warm enough to use the lovely pool !

Very out of the way
Went during April. Very easy to find, but very out of the way from main roads. Room was clean but was furnished more for longer stays. Very bare bones. Bath towels that had the softness of paper towels. Still cant figure out who designed the bathroom and its shower. There was no way to close the glass panesl to not have water splashing around throughout the bathroom. The restaurant onsite was very bare bones. Food was noting spectacular. Seems that it either was a great hotel/spa in the past or is aiming to become one but just hasn't made it yet.

L'albergo diffuso, ricavato da edifici storici e degnamente ristrutturati, si trova in una zona paesaggisticamente suggestiva. La camera dove ho pernottato è risultata silenziosa e molto pulita, dotata di tutto il necessario. Il voto sarebbe massimo se non per due aspetti non eccellenti ma tollerabili: il fancoil rumoreggia un po' troppo alzando la temperatura è il bagno è privo di tapparella o persiana, eccezion fatta per una tendina a metà altezza finestra (non il massimo della privacy anche se la camera era in posizione "rialzata")
