Quattro Torra Residenza d'Epoca

Check in was a bit confusing. This is a castle and when we arrived no one answered the door initially. We knocked and rang the bell several times and finally called the contact number when a cousin of the owner answered the door. On the phone the owner said he had been called away. The cousin showed to one of two rooms (we were traveling with another couple) and told to wait because she didn't know anything. The mother finally came and took us to the other room. The second room was on the equivalent of a three flights of stairs. Otherwise very cozy.

Great location as a base to visit Siena. I went up the tower at sunrise and sunset to take photos of the beautiful countryside and Siena in the distance.

This is a 700 year old castle/fortress. It was a very cool, unique experience. We stayed in one of the turrets. Beautiful views. You need to climb up a narrow spiral staircase to reach the main floor and bathroom. You need to climb up another narrow, spiral staircase to reach the bedroom. Bed was very comfortable. It sits outside of Siena so you are away from the crowds but it is only a 5-10 minute drive to get to Siena.

Since I started planning our trip to Italy, I always wanted to stay in a castle for one night. Found the castle to be very private, our own room was at the corner of one of the towers. We had the Blu Room which faced Siena. Very spacious room with window that opened up. Great view of the valley and of Siena City. Entry into the castle is through the main castle door. Enter the inside walls of the castle, look up to see the sky, climb lots of stairs. (If you have difficulty with stairs, this is probably not for you). You enter into the main TV room that is situated on the main floor of the owner's quarters, main floor with sofas. The owner greeted us, got our key and our room. Very spacious room, as well as bathroom, with great view, mini bar, hair dryer and a comfortable bed. Allergic to kitty cats - may want to stay away, friendly cats go about on their own if not restricted to private areas. Owner's son owns a fantastic ristorante a few kms away. Great food and wine! Full breakfast served in the morning - brioche, cookies, buns, marmalade, own honey and honey with saffron, cheeses, meats, fruits, juice, coffee to your liking, yoghurt and cereal. Really enjoyed our stay at this castle.

estadia perfeita e sem falar da hospitalidade dos proprietarios que foi maravilhosa. Quarto simples mas ha toda uma atmosfera de um autentico castelo do seculo XV. wi fi otimo e cafe da manha numa sala exclusiva

The owners toured us around the castle, drove us with their family to their restaurant for an amazing dinner (in the top 2 meals we had anywhere in Italy over 12 days). We chatted with another couple staying at the castle who absolutely adored it as well! We were in awe by the views - it was surreal! The breakfast the next morning was perfect! Our stay was too short. Highly recommend!

My mother and I had an excellent stay at the Castello del Quattro Torra. It was amazing. We loved it and hope to return one day. It is just a short taxi ride (12 euro) from the center of Siena and it was full of character. We couldn't believe how wonderful it was - a true Tuscan retreat. This is a 13th century fort that was converted into a home and has been in the owner's family since the 1800s. It is surrounded by the beautiful countryside. I had the tower room that provided a 360 degree view of the region. It was awesome! Bear in mind though - people who have a hard time climbing stairs may not want this room. My mom did not -and so she stayed in the apartment on the first floor (only up one flight of stairs). Both rooms were very nice and clean, quaint and quiet. Breakfast was included and it was fine (nothing too special). The owner Nikola greeted us and was very friendly. He even picked us up with his family and took us to his wonderful farmhouse restaurant. The food was absolutely superb! They made our experience so lovely and we will never forget it.

Espectacular, el lugar más lindo en que he estado

The location, just a short cab ride outside of Siena, is absoultely gorgeous. The service was excellent, breakfast was delicious, and it's a beautiful walk into Siena if you choose to do so. The bedroom was very clean, the bathroom was spacious, and the condition as a whole was great. I would definitely stay there again, and I can't explain how beautiful the location is. Definitely worth the price!

Besides having a fair value for the money proposition, the Quattro Torra Residenza d'Época is a great place for families to enjoy what a military castle from the 13th century was like - with the amenities of today, of course. Its location, a few kilometers from downtown Siena, may actually be seen as convenient to those seeking some quietness. A place we would certainly consider staying again as we return to Italy and Tuscany. And a last remark goes to Valeria, our do-it-all-type host, whose warm hospitality made us all feel truly at home.
