This is in a lovely rural location with views of the countryside. The owners have a dog, keep chickens and geese and a vegetable garden. They use some of this produce in the breakfasts. Their tomatoes were superb and they evidently took pride in the quality of the selection of home made cakes, biscuits and some savoury dishes at breakfast. Laura was very accommodating in making me pots of tea. We were going to a wedding and she offered to make us lunch. Anticipating sandwiches we were delighted by a fantastic selection of local bread, meats, cheese and tomatoes. Although our room had aircon and the weather was in the 30s, as the room was airy with high ceilings we didn’t need it, which was ideal. With the geese nearby it felt safe to leave ground floor windows open at night. The room was spacious, simple and rustically furnished but very clean, with enough storage, a small fridge and pretty quilted bedspreads. Our shower room was compact but spotlessly clean with plenty of towels, which were freely replaced. Our room was in a single storey building adjacent to the main house. It had a hallway shared with the room next door, with a kettle and doors onto a shaded seating area. This arrangement would be convenient if you were going as part of a group. The property is on a hiking route from Rome to Canterbury (Via Francigena). There were lots of keen hikers who really appreciated that each room had a clothes airer so they could rinse and dry items of clothing in their own seating area. Thankfully no sweaty hiking for me - just some delicate swimwear to be refreshed by the sunlight! Il Canto Del Sole has a generous sized pool, which is salt water and very refreshing. There were plenty of comfortable loungers with side tables and an open, spacious well maintained garden. Much of the time I had it to myself and it was gloriously peaceful.

We were woken up at 7 am by the noisy cleaning ladies shouting to each other across the courtyard directly outside our window. They carried on over the sound of the hoovers as they cleaned the room next door. There was only one pillow on each bed. We would have found it useful to have cups and spoons as well as the kettle for making tea and coffee, but we asked for some and it was no problem.

Everything! The hosts - Luciano and Laura were so welcoming and made you feel at home. The property itself sat high on a hill overlooking a beautiful valley. The grounds were spectacular - lots of intimate sitting spaces, a gorgeous saltwater pool, lovely flowers and garden. Our room was spacious, cozy, and immaculate. We had our own little side patio. Everyday someone came to clean and bring fresh towels. What service! And the breakfast - fresh cappuccinos, bread, cakes, pastries, eggs (from their own chickens), meats and cheeses. Fantastic fresh food! I can’t say enough about this lovely refuge.

Absolutely nothing.

Loved this property and the beautiful owners Luciano and Laura. The care and attention put into the property, rooms, food and guests is truly wonderful. We were recommended the property from friends who had stayed 15 years earlier and said it was some of the best food they had eaten. Fast forward today and I stayed with my wife and baby daughter and it’s still a phenomenal place. We had dinner both nights and it was gorgeous - both the food and the eating room. Three course meals with family recipes and traditional dishes. Couldn’t ask for a better countryside Tuscan experience. The room was large and spacious. Importantly for us there was a shared sitting room which we were able to use when our baby was asleep into the room. We were able to drive right up to the room which made packing and unpacking the car very easy. There was an onsite electric charger. Everything was extremely convenient.

Nothing

Absolutely loved the location. A charming bungalow nestled in the heart of the Tuscan hills. The setting was peaceful and picture perfect, offering a true escape from the noise of everyday life. Our hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. And the breakfast? Simply amazing. A generous spread of fresh, local delights that set the tone for a perfect day. Highly recommended for anyone seeking tranquility, beauty, and authentic hospitality.

I can't think of any!

Il Canto del Sole is located on a magnificent property that looks out over the beautiful Tuscan countryside. It is also a large family-run farm and the owner-managers are very efficient, friendly and helpful. Laura is a talented and passionate chef who provides beautiful food and interesting insights into each recipe. She also provided us with valuable advice and directions regarding our next visits to Siena and other local areas. We honestly felt like we were being entertained and guided by family friends. The property is located within easy driving distance to the spectacular city of Siena. Our room was authentically designed and furnished, and it was impeccably clean and comfortable. The breakfasts were amazing and included freshly-baked sweet and savoury treats. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we were sad that we could not stay longer. We would highly recommend Il Canto del Sole as a wonderful place to stay.

Perfect

This is an amazing farm in the heart of Tuscany. But the incredible part is the owners and staff – Luciano, Laura and their team made us feel extremely comfortable during our stay. Their kindness and attention to the details creates such a hospitable atmosphere. Always smiling and ready to help if you’re looking for some recommendations. The food is amazing – fresh eggs from the farm, homemade pies, great coffee and everything else – during our 9 nights stay we had great breakfast every morning. Sometimes they make dinners too – delicious homemade italian dishes according to the family recipies. And after the breakfast you may return to your sparkling clean room. The location is amazing for staying with kids – there are horses, a donkey, chickens and a very friendly dogs. Luciano e Laura, grazie!

The property is a gorgeous renovated large private home in a wonderfully convenient location. Beautiful grounds and pool, great and plentiful breakfast, clean comfortable rooms. The absolute best part of staying here though, are the hosts: Luciano and Laura. They are two of the sweetest, most helpful and considerate people I've ever met. If you need a place to stay in the Sienna area, this is the one! Oh, and If you don't feel like going out to dinner, Laura is a gifted cook who will provide a great dinner if asked for a reasonable price.

There was absolutely nothing to complain about.

i really liked the property itself, everything was well thought of, quiate a family business but very professional I loved that they went out of their way, when i was asking for non pork food and they provided me with chicken and turkey alternatives. this is a great and kind initiative i will never forget :) also my pertner broke a porcelain bowl in the room and we offered to pay as it was an accident but the owners refused to accept any payment. We were very humbled.

the best was not very comfortable, i could feel the springs. still it didnt ruin our stay. the wifi did not work everywhere on the property but i think thats because it was a remote location and vast land, so i cannot complaint.

Luciano & Laura were wonderful hosts of their beautiful property! The property is lovely to explore and includes a pool and lovely garden. The location is very quiet and close enough to go to Siena and surrounding areas. Luciano gave us wonderful recommendations for a couple of restaurants nearby as well as a winery for tastings. Laura cooked us amazing breakfasts with a large selection and made us the most delicious dinner for our last night. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return again.

The beds are a bit hard and an extra pillow or two would be nice.

Really lovely breakfast. Homemade cakes and savoury items too. Sandwiches, omelettes, cold cuts and cheese etc. Great location, very quiet and close to Siena and other Tuscan hilltop towns. Loved evening dips in the swimming pool!

There were no real downsides. Couple of occasions we couldn't find anyone when we had questions but figured it all out eventually and to be fair the laid back atmosphere is part of the charm
