Hotels near Sanctuary of Saint Catherine in Siena

A very atmospheric hotel with a cool courtyard, very atmospheric stairs, and unexpected paintings on the walls) From our room you can see the fantastic Tuscan scenery and the wonderful sunset (No. 132). The room itself is very clean and the bathroom is also very clean. The bed was very comfortable and I slept well! The cool ”icon” above the bed, painted on the tiles Breakfast is great (various cuts, fruits, rolls, toast, jam, etc.) + custom-made coffee. This is not in-room coffee and croissant breakfast. The staff responded quickly and answered all questions without any problems. Summary: I would love to return to this hotel

When I took the room, I said that I didn't find the order, and I took a long time to get the room. Driving is ok, parking is free and the room is too old. No quilt. Only one can be covered like a sheet. Asked the waiter to give the quilt, and gave two very shabby blankets. . . About 2 kilometers from the city, on the top of the mountain. The price is very poor

We stayed here for three nights whilst on a fly drive holiday to Tuscany. The hotel is very modern and for us was definitely not a traditional Tuscan place. The main problem is that the bedrooms are just too small, fine if you are staying one night on a business trip but hopeless if you are staying more nights. When we arrived there were two coat hangers in the wardrobe although this was quickly rectified. The cupboards consist of an IKEA hangar in the wardrobe. To be fair the hotel did offer an upgrade at a cost on check in but we declined as the small suite smelt of cigarette smoke. The air conditioning is bizarre as you have to request reception to activate it for you and adjust the temperature - the room controller doesn’t do anything, it took us 2 days to realise. The staff are all very good and friendly. The evening meals are very good, traditional Tuscan albeit in a modern room. Breakfast only average and served in the basement room with so many people and hard surfaces it was very noisy. Reasonably well located for Chianti, Sienna and the villages to the south. It is a bit isolated and if you want to eat out at a restaurant you will have to drive.

We booked this hotel for 2 nights primarily for the amazing location adjacent to the main Piazza del Campo and main ancient sites. Unfortunately, management (Leonardo) chose not to communicate in advance of our checking in and paying that most of the hotel would be occupied our first night by a private school of teenagers on tour. If there were any modern-day soundproofing, this wouldn't have been an issue. However, since the young guests wanted to party and were not well supervised by their chaperones, we expected management to step up and ensure the rest of his guests would be able to sleep before 1:30 am. In the evening (approx. 10 pm), I'd opened our door to see what the noise was about and gave an evil eye, unfortunately the older gentleman next door could only agree. At 12:25 am, I got dressed and left a note downstairs on the front reception desk as management didn't seem to be around nor dealing with the noise issue. In our civil note, we expressed our disappointment and that we couldn't sleep for hours when tired after a days travel to Siena. Just prior to checkout time the following morning, Leonardo chose to come to our door to discuss, and apparently hadn't appreciated that we hadn't woke him in the night instead chose to allow him to sleep as he had to run the hotel the next day. Apparently we were supposed to call him in the middle of the night. He raised his voice and told us ”we should have stayed in a better or more expensive hotel if we wanted quiet”. I told him, the room was clean and just fine, that we hadn't expected a 4 or 5 star hotel, but did expect to be able to sleep at night. We were accused of wqnting a free night as we had suggested some compensation in lieu of sleep as management hadn't successfully dealt with the noise problem. He refused to refund our second nights payment so that we could stay elsewhere, so had to stay again. We were looking for a compromise and admission that he hadn't been around to manage. Basically we were told off instead. What could have been resolved or at least smoothed over easily with a refund, a simple offer of a cappucino & croissant for breakfast or a minor price adjustment for our second night was not even considered by management. though breakfast was not included, he did supply for the private school but no one else??? Instead, he chose to be argumentative. We left with a very bad taste which has never happened before. We have travelled all over North America, Europe (numerous trips) and into South America for 40 years, staying in 1 - 5 star hotels, hostels, apartments... and never have we been treated or spoken too in such a crass way. This behaviour is not the way to regain business! Since we ourselves have been in a service business for over 36 years, we would never consider not addressing a valid problem or complaint, nor speaking to customers in this way. We feel Leonardo needs to be present, more management training, and better problem solving skills if he's going to be suc

The location is very good, there is a delicious Italian restaurant next to it. The room was very comfortable and the service was very good. The breakfast was a bit poor, there was no meat and eggs, and there were very few types ～

We spent three nights at the Hotel Athena. Positive attributes include its excellent location, so you can walk to the Duomo in ten minutes and Il Campo in 15-20 minutes. Yet, you can still drive and park free in the hotel’s parking lot. Parking is crowded, as the hotel is quite popular; it is also a little challenging if your vehicle is large. Other positives are the room is clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. A small positive is the included breakfast, which is certainly more than the standard Italian breakfast; it wasn’t great, but it was more than adequate. The only real negative would be that the room we had was rather small. Looking at the floor map (for fire exit), it appears that those on the other side of the hall are larger. I don’t know if there is any difference in price or why particular rooms are assigned. I did see three people coming out of one of those rooms, however. In summary, I will probably stay here again.

This Hotel is fantastic, definitely 5 stars. When your first arrive through the gated entry you are meet by the staff to welcome you , unload your luggage , park your car etc. You just go to the lounge to the very comfortably lounge to check in with a welcome cold drink. Then there is quick tour of the property. The property is just WOW , the property , the views !!. What a feeling when you book something after hours of web searching, review trawling etc and your partner says this ”I cant believe how beautiful this is , look at the views, the building , the landscaping , the pool etc etc. Take a look at the book at reception which has before and after photographs of the hotel redevelopment, you wont believe the transformation, what vision by the owners. We booked direct with the Hotel and selected the 5 senses experience. This turned out to be another great choice, firstly we were upgraded to a beautiful room with separate living area in the main building. This package included dinner in La Colonna (more on that later) we wanted to move this to the next day as we were a bit tired after driving which was done without any issues,; massage at the Well-being Centre at the Clubhouse and a tour of the Winery. All staff were very welcoming and approachable during our 4 day stay. We were fortunate to have great weather and sat around the pool / gardens, just beautiful. Our dinner at La Colonna was one of the best we have ever had. It was a beautiful night therefore dinner was served on the external terrace. Our table for two reserved giving us a uninterrupted view of Tuscan landscape under the full moon . The food and service was exceptional. We are foodies and this was up there with best of our fine dining experiences throughout the world. (I had seen reviews criticizing the food , not sure what they are about must be some other agenda). You must do the winery tour at Vallepiccolla , it is really good experience and well organised. We enjoyed our massages up at the Clubhouse. The shuttle service to Sienna , no longer exists . Not a problem for us as we had our own car., 30-45 mins. Just watch you SatNav give you the best route , we got the scenic route on the way back , down kms of dirt roads. The property is remote , so if you don't have your own car you will need to book private cars through the hotel to go offsite. We noticed that nearly all of the other guests were American, I think about 85% of the guests are international visitors. If you are looking for a special place to stay in Tuscany, we would highly recommend Hotel Le Fontanelle

Fantastic location! Just a short walk from the escalator, through the shopping mall and close to the old town of Siena. Lovely bright, clean room, (we upgraded to a balcony 10euros) Nice toiletries and a great breakfast ! Receptionists we’re very polite and extremely helpful with directions and suggestions of traditional places to eat.

We stayed in this facility for a weekend outside with friends. We had booked two apartments, one inside the main palace and the other in one of the ”secondary” palaces. Between the apartments were clean and well maintained. The historical palace of the 500 was incredibly spacious and bright, and the terrace and the numerous windows also gave the opportunity to look at the fantastic landscape typically of Tuscan. The staff were immediately prepared and welcome despite being a young and numerous group. At the arrival, we had a formula for the aperitive that, in front of a fixed quota, gave the opportunity to drink all the sprits you wanted with stuzzichine attachments (patates, peanuts, etc.). Super satisfying also breakfast with a classic sweet and salt buffet. The best quality products that have ”driven” us to eat at the swamp. I complimente the staff, I will not miss the opportunity to advise friends and relatives for their stays
