Frommer's Review

This 200-year-old brick farmhouse owned by the Franconi brothers sits on a ridge northwest of the city and has good views down the valley over their olive grove and up to Siena beyond. You get the vista from all but two rooms, and several even enjoy a small terrace. The accommodations are all good-size and comfortable, with tile floors and those soft cradling Italian beds of dubious spring power. It's a friendly, homey, and very quiet place to escape from the city a bit without going too far -- a city bus stop is right outside the gates (or take a taxi into town for about 10€/$13). There's also a good bar up the road if you want a cheaper breakfast.

Facilities:
Concierge; tour desk; limited room service; laundry service

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
