Breakfast was fabulous. Large assortment of freshly made pastries, yogurt, fresh fruit, croissants, a fresh fruit tart, juice, prosciutto, cheese, ham, coffee & tea. Beautiful airy breakfast room with linen service. A true delight and a treat to linger over and savor. The rim was spacious and appointed with a supremely comfortable bed, a view of the garden, and a spotless, fully appointed bathroom with plenty of hot water. The rooms are filled with beautiful antiques, original fireplaces, 100+ year old pieces of art, furniture, fireplace, and pottery. Do look up- the frescoes on The ceilings are not to be missed. Incredible host & hostess (husband & wife) are simply charming, and entirely at your service. Their garden is drop dead gorgeous filled with beautiful roses.

Everything exceeded expectations!

 ONE OF A KIND HOSTS IN JEWEL OF A GUEST The hospitality and kindness of Donatella and Raphael has no limit. Every need of guests are handled with ease, special requests quickly satisfied. All of it comes so naturally to these consummate hosts. A ride to the train station, suggestion for a wine tour, a recommendation for a special restaurant made our stay a memorable experience. These are truly beautiful people who provide a memories not just a room for sleeping. Five star service! The historic guest house is as special as are the hosts. Every sleeping room, the lobby, sitting and breakfast rooms are appointed with wonderfully presented antiques. Bistro tables in the garden are an outdoor alternative for enjoying Donatella’s breakfast pastries prepared daily. A trained pastry chef her delights call for second helpings. Walking in the gardens cause guests to decompress. This is a peaceful and unrushed retreat located within steps of Chiusi’s primary attractions. If planning on overnighting in Chiusi do not miss the very special Resedenza Dei Ricci. We have committed to return next year. Charlie and Diane Messina

What a wonderful Residenza! Everything was clean, confortable. It is an very old house, palace, with old furniture, you can live like in a museum. Even a piano in the living room. Breakfast was amazing, with best quality cheese and charcuterie, tomatoes. And the best was pastry chef Donatella, the owner, who made excelent sweets, different, fresh every morning. Mr. Rafael was very helpful with informations, prenotations if you need. Parking in their yard, very conviniant. Thank you again.

The room was stunning, like stepping into history. Bed was very comfortable, I had a good night's sleep. Donatella and Rafaelle are very welcoming - they clearly take their hosting very seriously, and showed me true Italian hospitality. The breakfast is amazing - homemade baked goods on top of everything you would usually expect - there was so much food out for just me, I wish I could have stayed longer for more. The setting for breakfast outside in the garden was perfect in the warm weather. The residence is only 5 minutes/8 euros in a taxi from Chiusi station. Chiusi itself is a charming little hilltop town with spectacular views and worth visiting, especially convenient if travelling between Rome and Florence. Next time I am in Tuscany I will not think twice about staying here again.

There was nothing I didn't like!

Raphaela and Donatella are exceptional hosts, and the hotel is in a beautiful palazzo. We stayed for two nights and took an early train to Assisi on the second day. They served a beautiful breakfast with home baked pastries, Its the best breakfast we had during our two months in Italy. Donatella is a trained pastry chef, and then Raphaela gave us a ride in his car to the station so that we would not miss our train. We have no reservations recommending the Residenza Ricci.

Nothing

Beautiful building and gardens in a lovely town. Very nice people who did everything they could to make us comfortable and were very friendly. Breakfast in the garden was lovely.

A little nerve wracking checking in. Nobody answered the bell, and entering the parking was very narrow down an incline. However, Raphaela directed me expertly and carried our bags up the several flights of stairs which we appreciated.

What a beautiful place? The room was spacious and beautifully decorated, mostly with antiques ornaments. The room and bathroom were very clean. The beds were very comfortable. The breakfast was wonderful specially lemon cake that was made by Donatella, she made most of the cakes for breakfast herself. What a nice people the husband and wife (Donatella and Raffaele) are, the made us feel like a member of family. We felt truly at home. We certainly be back.

None

What a gem of a find. I was traveling randomly through Tuscany along with my spouse and we stumbled upon this place while looking for a place to spend the night. The accommodation looks exactly like in the photos. Any of the rooms offer this aristocratic and authentic vibe. It's located close to the quaint city center and parking is available within the generous garden. I'm going to forever remember the homemade lemon cake I served in the garden during breakfast, almost made me cry. Mrs. Donetella is a true master pastry chef.

Excellent location, in the middle of small beautiful city. Finally not so crowded with tourists, where people greet each other on the street. Great hospitality, everything for the guests convenience like mini bar with cold drinks, jakuzzi and sunbeds in the garden.. Both Raffaele's and Donatella's kindness and helpfulness. Donatella's cakes in Toscan style at the breakfast, we simply could not resist tasting all of them. Feeling like nobles in the green room. All details were in place. Surprisingly there is a lot to see in Chiusi, they even provide a great map for discovery.

Everything was perfect. The owners do not speak English very well but it just made it even more enjoyable.

I'm not in the habit of posting glowing reviews, but our stay at Residenza Dei Ricci was the best accommodation experience of our entire trip to Europe. The hosts, Donatella (quite a cook!) and Rafael, could not have been more welcoming, gracious and accommodating. When I think of them, I break out in a smile. Our room, with its spectacular 'zodiac' ceiling of the planets, made us feel as if we were living in a palace. On our arrival we were greeted with glasses of Prosecco and bites to eat. Breakfast was delicious and filling. And a 5 minute walk away is the town's piazza and two exceptional restaurants. For anyone, who, as we did, will be experiencing a long flight to Italy and in need of a restful place before beginning your exploration of Tuscany, Residenza Dei Ricci is the ticket.

I'm at a loss to offer any constructive suggestions, let alone criticism. OK, the town's bell tower is nearby and strikes every hour until midnight. Just rack it up to the 'charm' of Tuscany.
