Pool was meant to be open during our stay but the opening was delayed by rain. We didn’t get to swim as planned.

Beautiful, serene location in a farm setting surrounded by olive groves with amazing views of Siena. Only a short 10-minute drive to Parcheggio San Francesco which costs €2/hour, from which there are escalators up to visit Siena. The entire property beautifully decorated, rose bushes in the gardens, multiple seating areas for guests to take their own meals or a drink or to relax; candy dishes and cookie jars on coffee tables were a thoughtful treat! Beautiful breakfast spread each day with pastries fruit meats and eggs. Two well-equipped kitchens where guests can prepare their own meals - with beautiful stone backsplashes and counters, and enough serving ware to host a meal for a large extended family. With all these amenities It would make for a great stay with children and grandparents, aunts and uncles, or for a group of friends. We met a couple planning to host their wedding here next year. We spent a day just relaxing by the pool and on the patio - it was a magical break from our busy itinerary and hectic lives. If only we had booked more time here! We must definitely return in the future.

A little difficult to access Siena, it’s a solid uphill 25min walk, wi fi is really bad in rooms, great if you have a car otherwise location is difficult.

It offered a country feel and that’s exactly what we got.peaceful at night if that’s what you’re looking for you will find just that at Podre la Strega.

We had a wonderful four nights staying with Letizia. and her husband. The accommodation is an old Italian country house with a gorgeous view of Sienna. The room, house, hosts and breakfast were all superb and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Letizia also provided restaurant recommendations that were also fabulous and some of the best food we had in Tuscany.

Everything! This is a delightful place with a wonderful host, great facilities and great care. Breakfast was wonderful. The views were incredible! But what really made the stay so enjoyable was the host. Even the guests from all over the world were great. There are plenty of spaces to just hang out, have a meal, a bottle of wine. On arrivel the host made us plates of food and brought a bottle of wine to the patio. She did our laundry as well. A really wonderful experience. It has a wonderful infinity pool looking out to Siena. When we arrived by train, the taxi line was very long, so the host came in her car and picked us up. This is an awesome place.

Rooms can feel dark but are in keeping with the age of farmhouse. Taxis service in Siena okay but could work out expensive as a round-trip into Siena around 30 euros.

Podere la Strege is in a simply beautiful setting, with the most stunning views of Siena. Old world charm, with the most delightful hosts. Your away from the hustle and bustle of town. Sitting outside with other guests for breakfast is also lovely whilst eating home produced delights. If you have no car a 15mins walk down a lane takes you to a bustop which runs a bus every 15mins into the heart of the city. The lane is steep and could be challenging to some. There are facilities to prepare your own meals if needed and lots of places within the farmhouse and grounds to just chill and relax in this very peaceful place.

The property is far enough away to feel like an escape, but also close enough to explore neighbouring vineyards and Siena which is only 5 minutes away by car. If you are driving, which is recommended, there is also ample parking. The grounds have a magical energy around them. Letitia and husband are superb, attentive hosts who do all they can to ensure your stay is comfortable. The communal breakfast is decent, includes homemade items and is a good way to get to know other guests if you wish. Rooms are rustic and basic in style but fully functional with excellent quality bedding and good shower facilities. In this respect it is excellent value for money and recommended.

The view was absolutely spectacular over Siena, and visible from the pool, pool area and the breakfast area. The breakfast was always fresh and tasty with lots of great options. The owners were friendly, very helpful and a joy to meet!

Perfect location to visit Siena and surrounding area. Beautiful setting, amazing views of Siena and lovely sunsets! Plenty of nice seating areas outside to enjoy the scenery and weather. Great that you could walk to Siena from the property. We enjoyed breakfasts served on the lovely patio. Letizia and her husband were very kind and helpful at great restaurant suggestions and other things to do in the area.

We couldn’t fault anything.

Friendly, welcoming staff, wonderful gardens and areas to sit in the shade (and indoors) to eat or drink. The view over to Siena from our room was stunning. Siena was a 40 minute walk into the centre - we like walking so it was lovely to walk through the olive groves and then up through the winding streets of the city. We loved the communal breakfast table where we got to speak to other guests - share travel stories and tips. We also made use of the well equipped kitchen to cook a few meals and prepare lunches. We hired a car to went out to Volterra and around one day and travelled East to Chianti hills another where we stopped in lots of beautiful villages and towns. We stayed for 6 nights and didn’t want to leave!

Everything - the location and view of Siena are hard to beat, absolutely beautiful. The staff was extremely nice and helpful in planning our days. Rooms were old but clean and added to the Tuscan countryside charming

There seemed to be an issue at check-out with processing of payment, which I think is more an issue between booking.com, the bank, and the recipient. Other than the admin headache, it was a lovely stay and I would thoroughly recommend to couples seeking a quite space just outside of Siena.

Excellent view, breakfast, property, and pool. The owners were very kind, sweet, and friendly. It is a beautiful residence and offers a very calm environment for guests, with a superb infinity pool. Location is approximately a 5 minute drive from a large car park outside of Siena, which offers an escalator directly into the centre.

Bring mosquito repellents if you want to sit outside in the evening.

This place is amazing. Location is perfect just a few minutes from Siena but still on the countryside. The house is gorgeous and gives you the true Tuscany feeling. The pool is clean and perfect to cool down during the warm and sunny days.

Room was small and dark

The hostess is marvellous and gave us lots of helpful advice on what to see and how to get there. We got a free wine tasting through her contacts. The hotel is 20 mins walk to town or a 10 min drive.
