Il Giardino di Pantaneto Residenza d'Epoca

The best points, location - close to walls and convenient - Swimming pool was lovely, comfortable sunbeds set in a pretty garden. Breakfast was adequate. Housekeeping poor, no fresh towels for a 5 night stay. What let this hotel down was the manager and some of the staff, whilst helpful on occasion generally quite rude and made you feel as though you were an inconvenience for example we asked to fill our water bottles up from the restaurant one evening and we were told 'couldn't you have done this earlier it would have been easier' all he had to do was unlock a door a few steps from where he was, he was not happy to do this and moaned a lot. There were a few other occasions when his attitude was unfriendly. But overall the pool area and location make this place, maybe he was having a bad time.

Simple but clean and well-appointed rooms, enjoyable breakfast (you pre-order) and a very pleasant owner who was welcoming and provided a number of helpful recommendations for lunch / sightseeing. We travelled out of season so can't speak to Summer prices, but in February it represented excellent value for money.

This is a most charming place to stay. The rooms have fabulous amenities, the garden is beau and views amazing. We had the studio downstairs in the back and loved the amazing views from our window and garden to enjoy breakfast or a glass of wine.

We only had one night at this lovely hotel as we were on our way to our eldest son’s wedding. So pleased we did this stopover in Siena. The hotel is right in the heart of the city. The hotel is exceptionally clean, rooms lovely and great breakfast choice. Will definitely be back!

When you have earplugs supplied on your pillow, you know its not going to be pretty. Unfortunately we drew the short straw and were given the only room facing the street! Most of the night woken by people “ having fun” until 4:30 am Light from the streetlights also as there are only light curtains. Facilities are sparse with no tea/ coffee in the rooms and no cups, spoons or cutlery etc in the kitchen area. We had to buy a couple of cups and our own milk to make our own tea….. when teabags were available. Room servicing was also at a bare minimum. Only replaced one towel the first day. If you do decide to stay at this hotel, ask in advance for a room facing away from the street.

The made a great breakfast where you sit outside is the garden. The apartment had a beautiful view of the country side and has a good location. Everyone is very friendly. The owner is very welcoming and very helpful. This was a great stay in Siena.
