Castello di Leonina Relais

Excellent service - food in the restaurant was fantastic and not overly priced. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who were welcoming and personable. Perfect for a couple of nights to relax and unwind. There are spa facilities available but we didn’t use them. However the pool area is ideal for a day in the sun.

A beautifully restored hill-top castle (think grand house rather than fortress) in the Tuscany countryside, about 20 minutes easy drive from the historic centre of Siena. Staff are super-friendly, rooms are very comfortable and all-round facilities of a good standard. And right outside the door is an unmade road which along which you can walk along the ridge (as we did on our first day) to the village of Mucigliani and soak up the fantastic views as you do...it's no exaggeration to say that you really can see for miles! I am ashamed to confess that my spoken Italian is very poor but despite this and with the help of the staff we had a great stay and managed to organise cups of tea (with cold milk!) at all hours. Only thing to watch is that you need to get to breakfast relatively early as choice becomes limited as the service goes on. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Leonina though, a truly lovely hotel.

We stayed here for one night while on a cycling holiday through Tuscany. It’s quite a challenge to cycle up to it as it’s on a hill with a gravelly track up to it. Check in was simple and friendly and our luggage was carried up to our rooms for us. Rooms are a little dated and could do with a slight refresh but were comfortable and had all what we wanted. Sky TV was in the room and free Wi-fi though it was quite slow. The grounds are very nice with plenty of loungers around the pool. Breakfast was in the main building and was typical of what you find in Italian hotels ie meats and cheese, cereals, pastries, cake, etc. The evening meal was in a separate building and was excellent- see my separate review as this deserves a higher rating than the hotel.

Beautiful location. Friendly staff. Pet friendly.

Nice history just would prefer more luxury in area

The hotel and room are nice, shower could do with an upgrade. The location, views and pool are spectacular though and Siena is only 20 mins away

The hotel is great overall, great staff and beautiful property and views. The only problem are the rooms (standard rooms), which are quite small and dark and in some areas there is a bad odour. However, the staff was extremely helpful in sorting us out and moving us to another room.

Lovely staff and service in a beautiful building and surrounding area. Very secluded if you want to get away from it all. The onsite restaurant is of good quality as well. The rooms could do with a little more sound-proofing, as it was possible to hear everything that goes on in your neighbour's room. They seemed to enjoy the visit very much. A bar would also have been a nice option, even though it's possible to ask reception for any drink requirements and they will happily provide.

This was our favorite place in Italy. Completely relaxing and now realize you can spend weeks alone just in this region.

The best choice to a couple interested to know Tuscany. This hotel is next to Siena and other mains cities in Tuscany. In addition the STAFF team is superb.
