Charming hotel in the countryside side, not far from Monteriggioni. We stayed here while hiking the Via Francigena and although it sightly off the trail we found it to be a welcome reprieve after a long hot day. The rooms open out to the swimming pool and there is a lovely seating and lounging area; although pretty basic our room had a fridge and it's own temperature controls; I would have enjoyed a kettle to be able to make a cup of tea before bed, but there is a bar in the reception hall. The on-site restaurant was lovely and they served an excellent continental breakfast at 7:00 Unfortunately like with most Italian hotels the pillows were abysmal

From the outside this hotel is charming, in a rural setting. However, the room was cold and dark. Apparently they turn off the heating on 1st May, despite cool and rainy weather. The heated towel rail in the bathroom was also off. There was mould in the shower. Only a sheet and cover on the bed. There were blankets in the wardrobe and asked for extra. The beds were, however, very comfortable. Only two very old-fashioned sockets at floor level. Breakfast was extremely poor. Only tinned apricots and prunes to go with limited choice of cereal. Hot food was just bacon and scrambled egg, the latter regularly running out, and one day the 'bacon' was lukewarm ham (leftovers?) None of the beatuiful Italian bread, just plain sliced. Tables were not cleared. The evening meals were pleasant and the service good.|This hotel is sorely in need of upgrading and is not worthy of 4 stars.

We went here for four days as part of a group on an escorted tour of Tuscany. |Good points - all rooms and facilities on ground floor, large room with French windows opening onto the gardens and pool terrace, large outdoor swimming pool, excellent food in restaurant in the evenings.|Bad points - decor in rooms is rather tired, interior stairs in room to two more beds on mezzanine too close to main bed (hazard for hitting your head), the breakfast buffets were really poor (in terms of quality and quantity), dusty/ cobwebbed light fittings above buffet food, unfriendly/ curt staff, location in the middle of nowhere. The nearby village is a 40-minute walk away, partly along the side of a very busy road.|Twice during our four-day stay the hotel hosted large private parties in the dining and pool areas, which rather shattered the calm and quiet enjoyment of the place.

Hotel is outdated. Not a great stop if you walk Via Francignena as access to hotel is 20 min walk from Monteridggio on very busy road with no shoulder to walk safely. Food in restaurant tastes good. Air conditioning not working because manager didn't turn it on even though it was in high 80's today. There is no window in the room. Only door and neighbors sitting 1 meter from it and talking. I do not recommend this hotel.

Recent 3 night stay on a Riviera tour. Very relaxing stay. It was nice to have some down time to relax by the poolside. We had an interesting room with a small staircase up to 2 small single beds. Room was very old fashioned with wood shutters but comfortable nonetheless. Breakfast was ok but we noticed that they tended not to replenish some of the food items if not asked. Evening meals were included in our tour and again, no complaints. Overall a good choice of hotel for our tour.

This is a lovely property at a reasonable price. The pool was clean and well maintained. The rooms were comfortable and bathrooms were very modern. We enjoyed a very nice meal in the restaurant.|The hotel is not in the centre of Monteriggioni but in a quiet location. There is a steep but beautiful walk into Monteriggioni.

Great hotel! The staff is very kind. We had a baby that made a mess during breakfast and we asked for a broom to clean but the waiter rejected my request, saying that he will clean it.. Everyone was just so nice and kind. Rooms are decent and the pool and restaurant are great. 3 minute drive from the town and a winery. Really recommend for anyone who wants a good relaxing scenery and great value

What is the area around Il Piccolo Castello like?

The hotel sits in the Tuscan countryside near Monteriggioni, a small medieval walled town with a castle and historic center. The area is quiet and rural, with the castle and its museum a short distance away. Siena's main sights, like Piazza del Campo and the cathedral, are about 13 km from the hotel, so you will need a bus, train, or taxi to reach them. The hotel itself has a restaurant, bar, and snack bar for meals on site. Nearby, you can find local dining spots such as Bar dell'Orso, La Braceria dei Templari, and Ristorante Da Remo. Castellina in Chianti-Monteriggioni and Badesse train stations are within a few kilometers for exploring the region.

How do I get to Il Piccolo Castello from the airport or main train station?

From Florence or Pisa airports, the hotel can arrange a shuttle service to and from the airports, as well as from Siena and Florence train stations. If you are driving, take the A1 motorway, exit at Firenze Certosa from the north or Valdichiana from the south, then follow the RA6 highway to the Monteriggioni exit and turn right onto Strada Provinciale Colligiana. From Siena, a direct bus from Il Piccolo Castello to SIENA-P.za SAN DOMENICO runs every two hours and takes about 20 minutes, while a direct train from Castellina C.-M.Rig. to Siena runs hourly and takes about 16 minutes. The nearest train station, Castellina in Chianti-Monteriggioni, is within 1.74 km of the hotel.

For a proper dinner, the hotel's restaurant serves Italian cuisine, and nearby options include Bar dell'Orso, La Braceria dei Templari, Ristorante Da Remo, and Bar la Capannina. The historic center of Monteriggioni, with its castle and narrow streets, is a short distance away and pleasant for an evening stroll. Siena's sights, like Piazza del Campo and the cathedral, are about 13 km from the hotel, so you would need a bus, train, or taxi to reach them for nighttime exploring. The direct bus to Siena runs every two hours, and the train from Castellina C.-M.Rig. runs hourly, making an evening trip into the city feasible.
