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.

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.

This place, typically located on top of a little hill, is just awesome…the beautifully renovated 500-year old Building with fantastic Rooms/Beds and such a nice pool…everything combined makes you feel like you were in a Tuscany Dream 😊. The Breakfast is just sooo delicious…homemade just about everything 😊. Finally…If you’re into Gravel-Bikeriding like we are, you won’t find a better spot to start your loops into Strade Bianche or L‘Eroica 🚴🏼‍♀️🚴🏽‍♂️🥰

Nothing!!!

Location was excellent for visiting within 50-60 kms, which was our plan. Breakfast was very good but dinner options in the local area were limited—we had dinner at the same place 3 out of 4 evenings.

We were upstairs in the main building, several times a day the strong smell of cigarette smoke came in the windows or door, no way to escape it.

Fantastic location on top of a hill with fields all around. Very quiet. The pool is lovely. The hotel is in an old casale that has been beautifully renovated and furnished. There is ample space for activities, including indoors in case of rain or on cold evenings. The staff was very helpful.

A minor point: the breakfast buffet was very attractive, with many types of breads, croissants, cakes, breakfast cereals, etc, but for travellers on a low-carb diet, there were limited options. In particular, we would have appreciated a selection of fresh cheeses.
