We stayed just one night after a walking holiday further north, arriving at 10am hoping to leave our bags and check in later. We were lucky that our room was ready but what was particularly nice was that we were invited to have some coffee and cake from the closing breakfast. And what a lovely cappuccino that was. Our comfortable... more

This hotel is situated 5 mins away from one of the gates, I think its Porta Romana. The historic center of Sienna is surrounded by walls and these gates serve as the entrance into the walled historic center of Sienna. Most of the hotels that I am attracted to are the modern ones so I was a lil bit skeptical... more

This is a very simple hotel, however it’s this simplicity that makes it special. Only stayed here for one night, but wished I could stay a little longer. Firstly, this hotel is outside the city walls, however don’t let this put you off, as it’s only about a 30 second walk to the Porta Romana, one of the medieval entrances... more

Small hotel located in an old mansion. Friendly and helpful staff. We stayed in a room with a small "downstairs", batroom and two chairs and the bed "upstairs" via a narrow spinal stairway. Would prefer a room at the same level... Make sure you ask for a room facing the garden. Lovely breafast room with a limited selection of food.... more

The garden at the Hotel Santa Caterina is small and serene with fine views over the undulating Tuscan countryside. It's a great place to relax after a morning or day's sightseeing in Siena and highly recommended. The staff were unfailingly pleasant and helpful. The hotel is outside the walls of Siena, maybe 10 minutes walk from the central Piazza del... more

Look at the pictures from some of the other comments - they don't lie. As my wife says, it's a view that just doesn't get tired. This is a true gem of a place. Get a country-side facing room and put on your walking shoes because it is a wee hike to the centre of town, but who cares, you're... more

We loved this charming hotel. It was a bit of a splurge for us but worth it. Breakfast in the garden overlooking the Tuscan hills was the best. more

We stayed for 2 nights at the Santa Caterina at the start of a cycling tour around some of Tuscany. The hotel was booked for us by the British company that organised our cycle tour, and it was a great choice. We had a large room on the ground floor with a large bathroom which had both a bath and... more

What a great little hotel. It's a short walk to the Porta Romana, one of the gates into the walled town. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was spotlessly clean. Our room was large and airy, with a great view of the valley below. I couldn't stop taking photographs of this view - the light was different... more
