We had a wonderful four nights staying with Letizia. and her husband. The accommodation is an old Italian country house with a gorgeous view of Sienna. The room, house, hosts and breakfast were all superb and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Letizia also provided restaurant recommendations that were also fabulous and some of the best food we had in Tuscany.

Beautiful setting and view of Siena. Lovely breakfast and the couple who run it are lovely. Have great recommendations for restaurants in the area. Had a day just relaxing by the pool which was great.

Podere la Strege is in a simply beautiful setting, with the most stunning views of Siena. Old world charm, with the most delightful hosts. Your away from the hustle and bustle of town. Sitting outside with other guests for breakfast is also lovely whilst eating home produced delights. If you have no car a 15mins walk down a lane takes you to a bustop which runs a bus every 15mins into the heart of the city. The lane is steep and could be challenging to some. There are facilities to prepare your own meals if needed and lots of places within the farmhouse and grounds to just chill and relax in this very peaceful place.

The property is far enough away to feel like an escape, but also close enough to explore neighbouring vineyards and Siena which is only 5 minutes away by car. If you are driving, which is recommended, there is also ample parking. The grounds have a magical energy around them. Letitia and husband are superb, attentive hosts who do all they can to ensure your stay is comfortable. The communal breakfast is decent, includes homemade items and is a good way to get to know other guests if you wish. Rooms are rustic and basic in style but fully functional with excellent quality bedding and good shower facilities. In this respect it is excellent value for money and recommended.

The view was absolutely spectacular over Siena, and visible from the pool, pool area and the breakfast area. The breakfast was always fresh and tasty with lots of great options. The owners were friendly, very helpful and a joy to meet!

Friendly, welcoming staff, wonderful gardens and areas to sit in the shade (and indoors) to eat or drink. The view over to Siena from our room was stunning. Siena was a 40 minute walk into the centre - we like walking so it was lovely to walk through the olive groves and then up through the winding streets of the city. We loved the communal breakfast table where we got to speak to other guests - share travel stories and tips. We also made use of the well equipped kitchen to cook a few meals and prepare lunches. We hired a car to went out to Volterra and around one day and travelled East to Chianti hills another where we stopped in lots of beautiful villages and towns. We stayed for 6 nights and didn’t want to leave!

Excellent view, breakfast, property, and pool. The owners were very kind, sweet, and friendly. It is a beautiful residence and offers a very calm environment for guests, with a superb infinity pool. Location is approximately a 5 minute drive from a large car park outside of Siena, which offers an escalator directly into the centre.

This place is amazing. Location is perfect just a few minutes from Siena but still on the countryside. The house is gorgeous and gives you the true Tuscany feeling. The pool is clean and perfect to cool down during the warm and sunny days.

The hostess is marvellous and gave us lots of helpful advice on what to see and how to get there. We got a free wine tasting through her contacts. The hotel is 20 mins walk to town or a 10 min drive.
