Good base but not ideal for a long stay
We were on the 1st floor of the villa, and although we’d booked a private bathroom this wasn’t part of the room but across the corridor which was shared with 2 other rooms. Not ideal in the middle of the night! Window to view was very small and didn’t have a curtain, but actually the location is lovely (10 min drive to Sienna) and breakfast is adequate. Can imagine the pool would be lovely in summer.

Dear Lauren thank you for your review and to appreciate our B&B. We would like to point out that the accommodation assigned corresponds exactly to the reserved economy room, with private bathroom (not shared) but outside the room ie in the corridor. This is the cheapest accommodation we have. Upon your arrival we proposed an upgrade to a superior room that you refused, because for you the bathroom in the corridor would not be a problem. Now, we don't understand your complaints via the web. Greetings

Photos are misleading
The photos are very misleading - this is a very small property, whereas the photos make it look like a huge villa. The pool is very small. The view from the pool area is beautiful though. Our room was fine, but generally a bit run down. Breakfast was solid. The location is pretty far outside of Siena so you need a car to get into the city. Next time, I would stay more in the center of Siena.

Dear Danielle, thanks for your review. I don't know your perception of a small house, I still want you to notice that our B&B is a big villa of about 400 square meters on three different floors. We have a garden of about 1 hectare and in our pool can comfortably swim up to 20 people. Arriving late at night and staying here for a short time, you didn't realize the real size of our property. Furthermore, all the rooms are recently renovated. Thanks, Roberto

A nice BnB outside Siena
Our room was a bit small but very nice. The property was beautiful with a nice pool and a couple of areas to relax with a glass of wine and enjoy the view. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was one of the best we had on our trip. Having a car would be helpful but we used the bus to Siena a couple of times. If you do this make sure to buy tickets beforehand as they are more expensive on the bus. Overall we loved our stay and would visit again.

Homey and Comfortable Tuscany B&B
We loved our stay a Casale Virgili. Roberto and his staff were all nice and accommodating and made our stay very pleasant. Casale Virgili is like coming home to your mom's home but in Tuscany. The rooms are very basic but ours was clean and comfortable and a good size. Breakfast in the morning was great and there was plenty of food for you to choose from before discovering the area. Casale Virgili is located outside of the Siena city center, but close enough that driving there was not an issue. It was also pretty good location to see the neighboring and tourist towns in the region as well. The pool area was clean and nice and had a great view. If you are looking for a comfortable place to lay your head down after a day of doing the Tuscan countryside than this place if for your. Quiet, comfortable and homey.

Stay at a historic house
We stayed four nights in this historic house. What worked for us: 1. Staying close to but not in the city. The bus stop was a 3 minute walk away and we bought tickets from the newstand next to it. 2. Clean and pleasant surroundings. 3. Alessandra the charming owner who was helpful with recommendations.

NOT so "private" Bathroom!
First the positive; the manager, Roberto, was friendly and did what he could to try and make our 1 night stay (which should have been 2 nights) tolerable by giving us a room with a REAL private bathroom. Now the stuff you need to know before you book a room and what is NOT posted here on the Hotel.com website. The room that they wanted to give us had a detached "private" bathroom that we would have had to pass through the COMMON living room (in our case it was being shared with TWO other families) and across the COMMON hallway. The door to the "private" bathroom is right next to the TWO doors for the other TWO family's rooms. Sooo, picture this, you have to use the restroom at some point during the night or early morning. On your way to your "private" bathroom you cross through the COMMON living room, where little Jimmy is playing with his toy truck and across the COMMON hallway, where one of the wives of the two families (and her little girl) are coming out of their room so your paths cross precariously close, as a matter of fact, wayyyyyy to close! Can you say awkward! Hopefully, before you left your room for your potty adventure you get fully dressed so that things don't get really weird, if you know what I mean! All I'm saying is, Hotels.com needs to make the above so-called "private" bathroom issue very clear to those interested in booking at this hotel. In our case, they did NOT so this stay ended up being a total disaster. We ended up leaving a day early.

Dear Bryan, our B&B offers 3 different types of double rooms: superior, standard and economy. In the economy room it is very well described that the bathroom is private (not shared) but not inside the room. For the next time, please pay more attention what you book and don't just focus on the price. See you soon.

Beautiful bed and breakfast with an amazing view.
Roberto and staff were extremely nice and willing to help In anyway. The wine cellar was small but awesome to see. About a 10-15 wall to catch the number 9 bus. Just make sure you are actually and at a bus stop with a sign. We missed it the first time because we were at a different place. I usually prefer a full queen or king size bed, not two twins pushed together. Other than that it was will worth the money.

Enjoyable and relaxing stay.
We stayed at the Casale Virgili for 4 nights. The location is just a short drive away to all the basic amenities we needed. The grounds, buildings and views really provide you with a wonderful Tuscany experience. We had the ground floor 1 bedroom suite which was very spacious. One of our most favourite experiences at Casale Virgili was spending time with Kettie the dog. She is very friendly and pleasure to be with. Roberto who runs the Casale Virgili was very helpful and a really nice guy. We would definitely recommend staying here.

After site seeing throughout northern Italy with all its beauty and history, we really needed a place to just kick back and enjoy its country side and this was the perfect place to do just that! Probably the best of all the places we stayed. The staff was wonderful and treated us like family. We had requested a nice local restaurant with local cuisine and were absolutely blown away by the place that was recommended. Exceeded my expectations!

Great gem. Just better with a car and window view
Casale Virgili is definitely a great summer location. I went in spring and although getting warmer, the room I had was a lower room at basement level - and it felt quite cold and clostrophobic during the day - at night it didn't matter as heaters worked well. Also being on the lower level every time the upstairs chairs or tables move its really loud. I suggest they put mats down! On the plus side the outdoor table and garden were lovely and you could sit out there all day. The wifi was good as it was avail inside and out. As it was April the pool was still covered so can't comment on that but it would have been amazing. They sold wine which was good however the downside being no food places nearby and they didn't encourage any cooking - as a single female with no car it was a bit limiting at night. The day bus is great. It goes right to the city at Piazza Gramaci bus stop and via the train station. I'd recommend but get a top level room with a window. Enjoy

good stay overall
It could have been more useful to have a kettle and cups/glasses in the rooms as it was very unconfortable to go and interrupt a staff dinner party to ask for a couple of glasses one evening and did not have any hot water to prepare my medicine for both the evenings spent there. Other that that everything was very nice, breakfast was quite ok also.

Dear guest Thank you, for your review. We're sorry if you've had little problems with your medicine. Next time you can book book a superior double room, which are equipped with kettles and cups. However the reception staff is at your disposal until 8:00 PM

Great B&B with really nice staff and great view
Stayed 2 nights with 3 adults and 3 children between 2 rooms. All the staff was great, the gentleman working reception spoke fluent English and had plenty of recommendations for things to do and how to get around. The breakfast was a nice, normal Italian style with pastries and various coffee's to order plus some yogurt, bread and fruit. The area around the hotel is nice to hang out with and good enough for the kids to run around a play a bit outside plus there is a nice view of a typical Tuscan landscape. The pool was closed but looks like it would be great in the summer! The hot water wasn't working in 1 of our showers but it was late and since it was working in the other room I didn't bother the owners.

Not bad but maybe you'll want to reconsider.
This hotel is located on the outskirts of town, away from the hub of activity. While some would find this inviting...we found it very difficult to find, little signage and after traveling overnight, totally exhausting. When we finally arrived, Roberto was warm & caring. Our room was small and located in a basement type of setting so it was dark and the bedding & towels were scratchy! The area surrounding the property is lovely with great views of the valley. This hotel has a small wine cellar from where we purchased an outstanding, "Brunello!" This was costly @ $35 per bottle but our nerves outweighed "common sense. "

Lovely relaxing place to stay with great views
Best place we stayed at for out whole trip. Lovely setting and great facilities. Beautiful house and great views. The family is very friendly and helpful. Convenient as only 10 minute drive to Siena but feels as if you are in the countryside. We were allowed to use the barbeque facilities one night which was a nice break from eating out. The only downside is that there is a noisy motorway close by.

Perfect Stay in Siena
The most amazing experience and wonderful hotel, beautiful views, very friendly and helpful staff, good sized pool, a good breakfast with amazing coffee and perfect location. My wife and I stayed here for 8 nights in total during our tour around Tuscany, frankly this was our best stay, just outside of the hustle of Siena, a quick and easy 5min drive or 15-20min bus ride into town. Roberto was very helpful even on our last day he took us to Euorpcar to collect our hire car as I didn’t know where it was which we are very grateful for. We were able to bring our own lunch / dinner / wines, free use of a fridge (Warning: we found that not many B&B / Hotels allowed use of a fridge during our stay around Tuscany). I would be happy to stay again in the future.

JUST A LITTLE SHORT OF PERFECTION.
Just returned from 4 nights at Casale Virgili. Set in a beautiful location, a 12 euro taxi ride to the centre of Siena.Staff were very helpful and the pool was in a lovely spot to relax in for and hour or two.My only gripe was that, because of the extreme temperatures,I found the fan in the room was not enough to keep you comfortable at night.Perhaps air-con for a few more euros a night would make this an unbeatable place to stay.

Best surprise of our trip to Italy!
What a gem! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay (although too brief!) at Casale Virgile. With the help of English-speaking Roberto, we were told about great restaurants and sights in the area that were not in any of our guidebooks. The setting of Casale Virgile is spectacular! Sitting outside under the shade of olive trees, drinking their private label Chianti and looking out over the green Tuscan hills is a memory of our trip we will fondly remember! The rooms were nice - with private and modern bathrooms. Shuttered windows allowed us to enjoy the view without obstruction. Breakfast was nice - coffees made to order, an assortment of cheeses and salamis, boiled eggs, juice, cereal, pastries and fruitt. The one drawback (and believe me - the only drawback we found) was the close proximity to the nearby highway. Road noise could be heard much of the time but we became accustomed and were able to ignore it for the most part. If we are fortunate enough to return to this beautiful part of the world - we will definitely stay at Casale Virgile again!

The Casale Virgili is wonderful!
We stayed here for a week while exploring Siena and Tuscany. The location is perfect -- easy access for car exploration everywhere and conveniently located to a bus to Siena on the days we wanted to stay around. The site itself is very beautiful -- many days we would have a restaurant lunch and just picnic for dinner on very good offerings from the grocery store less than 5 minutes away. While not luxurious, the rooms are spotlessly clean and comfortable. The host, Roberto, is a gem! He is a fountain of information about the area and helped us plan many of our daily trips. I recommend the Casale Virgili highly -- we can't wait to go back!!
