B&B Casale Virgili

Just returned from 4 nights at Casale Virgili. Set in a beautiful location, a 12 euro taxi ride to the centre of Siena.Staff were very helpful and the pool was in a lovely spot to relax in for and hour or two.My only gripe was that, because of the extreme temperatures,I found the fan in the room was not enough to keep you comfortable at night.Perhaps air-con for a few more euros a night would make this an unbeatable place to stay.

What a gem! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay (although too brief!) at Casale Virgile. With the help of English-speaking Roberto, we were told about great restaurants and sights in the area that were not in any of our guidebooks. The setting of Casale Virgile is spectacular! Sitting outside under the shade of olive trees, drinking their private label Chianti and looking out over the green Tuscan hills is a memory of our trip we will fondly remember! The rooms were nice - with private and modern bathrooms. Shuttered windows allowed us to enjoy the view without obstruction. Breakfast was nice - coffees made to order, an assortment of cheeses and salamis, boiled eggs, juice, cereal, pastries and fruitt. The one drawback (and believe me - the only drawback we found) was the close proximity to the nearby highway. Road noise could be heard much of the time but we became accustomed and were able to ignore it for the most part. If we are fortunate enough to return to this beautiful part of the world - we will definitely stay at Casale Virgile again!

We stayed here for a week while exploring Siena and Tuscany. The location is perfect -- easy access for car exploration everywhere and conveniently located to a bus to Siena on the days we wanted to stay around. The site itself is very beautiful -- many days we would have a restaurant lunch and just picnic for dinner on very good offerings from the grocery store less than 5 minutes away. While not luxurious, the rooms are spotlessly clean and comfortable. The host, Roberto, is a gem! He is a fountain of information about the area and helped us plan many of our daily trips. I recommend the Casale Virgili highly -- we can't wait to go back!!
