Villa Sant’Andrea0

Beautiful 100+ year old villa with lots of personality and history. Hosts were excellent. Check-in and parking were easy. We enjoyed staying at this older beautiful villa that reminded us of how pensions used to be. Hosts were great and helpful and were willing to share stories and history of the villa and surrounding area. We bought a liter of olive oil grown on their family orchard.

There is bus access to the main part of town, but it was really not convenient. Back patio was closed due to being the end of the season.

This is an 1800 Villa, and it was wonderful. Cecilia and her husband were great hosts. The room was very clean, you have a private bathroom, and the breakfast is delicious. The sweets are home made, and the morning cappuccino it is barista style. We had the chance, that the hotel in Florence canceled my other booking and we got the opportunity to stay 2 more nights at Villa Sant'andrea. On site you have a parking spot for your car ( 5 rooms, 5 places). We definitely recommend it if you plan a trip to Tuscany, in 10 min you arrive by car at Sienna, 1h from Florence, 30 min from San Giminiagno. And if you book it, you should definitely ask for the wine tasting on the small terrace on the roof.

The room, breakfast, and service were excellent! Cecelia was a wonderful hostess and communicated prior to and during our stay. She was extremely accommodating with our schedule. We don’t speak Italian but she was very good with English and made us feel very welcome. We would give her a 10 star rating if we could! We felt that we made a new friendship! The other staff members were also very kind and attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Our only drawback was transportation. We didn’t have a car and had to take taxi to get around, which became a bit expensive. Cecelia was very helpful with calling the local taxi for us.

The hostess was lovely and spent a lot of time helping us figure out how to get where we wanted to go. Breakfasts were delicious! The room was lovely and had a beautiful balcony.

I didn't realize how far out the hotel was from Sienna; it is very close to a bus stop and once you get the hang of it, it worked well - just be prepared to travel in and out of town.

Location is an old villa which was very well preserved - they kept the original paintings on the ceiling. I love the fact that it had a small terrace with a nice view of the Tuscan country life. Breakfast was very good, although they don't provide buffet, you have options to choose from. Room was very clean and well furnished. Location is close to Siena, but in a more quiet place.

There's nothing that we didn't like, everything was perfect.

We had a wonderful stay! We really enjoyed the local feel of the B&B. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great with delicious fresh local fruit! This is an old mansion but it is very clean and charming. Cecilia was so helpful and really knows Siena well and offers great suggestions. I’m so glad we stayed here compared to a larger more corporate place.

I liked everything. I’m quite big so shower was a little tight (understandable given the age of the mansion) but great water pressure and very clean.

The beds were very comfortable and the room was equiped with everything we needed. Breakfast was very good; as we are all vegetarians, the host was able to change the options to our needs without any complaints or complications. She was very kind in pointing out tips for sightseeing in the area.

Although the bathroom had everything we could ask for, it was rather small. When using water in the bathroom, the toilet makes a grinding noise, which makes it hard to go for a silent bathroom break in the middle of the night.

Wine tasting is a must) But in general, a perfect location for vehicle based excursions. Very nice premises, highly professional staff. Also, Siena downtown is easily reachable both by bus and taxi.

The B&B is run by a couple who take pride in making their guests happy. Ceclia stayed in contact via whatsapp with us to make sure everything from check-in to transportation went smoothly.

You 100% need a car if you are staying here. The B&B is located in a small town, but a 1km+ walk from the nearest restaurants. The last bus from Siena to the B&B is at 8pm. No ubers or food delivery options in the area.

The building was very quaint and Cecilia was amazing. She cooks breakfast herself in the morning and caters to her guests. She even helped us get a taxi while still getting breakfast done. She went above and beyond.

The location makes it great because it is more quiet. However getting a taxi to town is tricky. Going from Siena to the villa was no problem though. There are no stairs but Cecilia was kind enough to help my Mom with her bag.
