Volterra

"Wow. I could not have dreamed of a better weekend getaway. This was seriously the most beautiful villa. The view from it was picturesque, it looked fake! I would wake up in the morning and just stare at the view. From the grounds of the villa you can see the city center of Volterra, and the greenery surrounding. The owners of the property, Alessandro and Paola were an absolute pleasure. They were so hospitable, welcoming, and kind. We reserved breakfast and dinner at their restaurant and the...

Villa Scacciapensieri Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The villa is amazing and the perfect little world in itself. Its closeness to Siena makes it easier to visit the city. The patio is the perfect place to view Siena at sunset. The staff was very courteous and ready to help. This hotel is a gem."

La Certosa di Pontignano

10/10 Excellent

"Magical place! We loved jazz night and the amazing wine paired dinner. Fantastic place!"

Grand Hotel Continental Siena – Starhotels Collezione

8/10 Good

"Our stay was just ok. Very noisy streets. And the bread at the breakfast buffet was extremely stale for both mornings. We could not eat it. If you are allergic to dust be warned that their curtains and bed headers are very dusty."

Palazzo Ravizza

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful time at this hotel. Everything was excellent and everyone so helpful. Great room ,that had a wonderful view of the gardens . The room was very clean and well equipt with all you need to enjoy your stay. Walkable access to the centre with some lovely shops ,bars and restaurants on the way. A massive thank you to Francesca who was brilliant. So knowledgable about the area and friendly and helpful. Her and the team are doing a wonderful job. Would highly recommend and I would visit again."

Hotel Italia

8/10 Good

"Clean, well maintained property that you’ll feel safe spending the night."

Hotel Athena

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Athena in Siena. The service was exceptional, the staff were warm, welcoming and genuinely helpful throughout our visit. The location was fantastic for exploring Siena, with everything within walking distance, while the hotel itself provided a comfortable and relaxing place to come back to after a day of exploring. We also loved the beautiful views from the terrace which was the perfect spot to unwind with a drink and take in the scenery. Sunset was especially beautiful and I would recommend calling the terrace staff themselves to reserve your seat. They are VERY busy up there so please exercise patience and kindness to the server and bartender as they work so hard to get your orders to you as quickly as possible. Self parking our car was a huge bonus as we rented a vehicle to explore Tuscany. A lovely hotel, a great location and wonderful service. We would happily stay here again when visiting Siena!"

NH Siena

10/10 Excellent

"Superior room not great, Very small with leaking shower and other issues. Upgraded to suite on 5th floor which was excellent. Very spacious, huge bathroom with bath and walk in shower. Great views and comfortable bed."

Borgo Pignano Volterra Tuscany

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful location, vast grounds, stunning food with the local produce. The rooms are old fashioned - very much the intent. Very attentive staff."
