Certosa di Pontignano Residenza d'Epoca - Place of Charme

The location, the staff, and the hotel grounds. This hotel is in heart of Tuscany close to the town of Siena making is great hub to explore the Tuscan villages. Also sitting a bit high on the hill top the views are great. Being a 600 plus year old property it takes you back in time. It has modern touches added to it for our comfort without losing its rustic and historic feel. The grounds are well kept and the staff were very helpful and pleasant. Has an apartment which was very spacious and very comfortable.

The location is very quiet and peaceful. You feel like you have just travelled back in time. The 2 bedroom apartment that we stayed in was very spacious and clean had a great terrace downstairs/and a balcony overlooking the vinyards and olive trees upstairs There was a small kitchen equipped with a refrigerator and stove and other kitchen essentials (pots pans glasses etc). We did not need to dine in the room but if you have spesific dietary restrictions and you have to prepare or heat up your own food, the kitchen would be useful. The breakfast was adequate with several local cold cuts/cheese fresh bread and bakeries etc. We were lucky to have a few days of good weather so we ate outside with the view of a gorgeous garden but the breakfast room inside was also great. We also had one dinner at the hotel restaurant and the chefs tasting menu was delicious. We rented a car to travel arround and were able to visit several Tuscan highlights within a one hour drive The staff were amazing They were very polite and helpful.

The perfect location away from big cities in the heart of Tuscany, that's like a dream of nature, good food and wine lovers. An ancient monastery wisely transformed into a confy hotel brings you in the very nature of Italian definition of pure sensation of discovering Tuscany. The restaurant offers you excelent food, wines and best service.

This was the third time we stayed at this beautiful hotel, a former large monastery near Siena. This time we added a little money to stay in a large room with a view of the landscape. However, from our previous experience, the budget rooms are also very good value. A very generous and satisfying breakfast is included, not related to what room type you are staying in. The surrounding landscape is great for walking. There is a fantastic winery (“Losi”) 10 minutes by foot away, highly recommended to visit, A further 10 minutes away is the local village where we enjoyed a simple and good lunch. We had two times dinner in the hotel. Very tasty and well-presented both times, and served by such a friendly staff. Good value for the money, although for those traveling an a budget, there is also an option to enjoy a light meal in the bar. We will definitely be back again :-)

You're in heart of Tuscany. Far away from city this hotel is located in country ,you're surrounded by wineries and olive orchards everywhere you look. It offers you relaxation, serenity,,total rejuvenation for your body and soul. If you like nightlife and party nights,this complex is not for you. It's quiet,big,there is a piece of history in every direction you look and calmness in every step and breath you take there. Lots of gardens,greenery, orchards,fields everywhere around you Long alleys and arched hallways just to walk, relax and enjoy. We had dinner reservation in their on site restaurant,the food was fantastic,dinner of 3 courses lasted almost 3 hrs,but there is no reason to rush anything or anywhere. The room we stayed in was a double bed room,not very big,but they have variety of options if you're staying longer then 1 night and want more spacious and comfortable room. This was definitely one of our best stays ever we've experienced so far. Strongly recommended for soul and body soothing individuals
