"I really wouldn’t recommend this hotel !
While the nature and property were stunning and the villas were generously sized the cleanliness and staff helpfulness was very poor .there were very large bugs in the shower and tons of dust below the beds and one of our beds was not made at all .we only received one tiny bar of hand soap for a 3 bedroom ,6 ppl villa and when we ask for toiletries and extra toilet paper we received only 2 sets of shampoo and shower gel as a one time courtesy , any more...
"Great place, close to some really neat towns and things to see. Awesome to have big nice pool to come back to after a hot day of sightseeing. The best thing about it is the family that owns it. So warm and friendly and helpful in every. Truly enjoyable stay."
"Hotel is close to Siena and the check-in person (Gabriela) was very friendly and helpful. Room is spacious, functional with easy parking in front of the building and just a 3 minute drive to garage in Siena old-town so very convenient to visit this beautiful city. Excellent value for the money."
"The mobile homes were a great alternative when Via Francigena hostels were full. Friendly people, swimming pool was wonderful , and an easy walk back and forth to San Gimignano."
"This stay was perfect. Location was out and alone but the property was safe and comfortable. Clean pool, nice breakfast and luxurious rooms. I would go back again in a minute! We all loved our stay here."

"We stayed here Aug 2025, coming in from Florence. Siena is absolutely gorgeous and Hotel Athena was the perfect hotel to explore the area. The hotel itself was very nice, updated, good sized rooms with nice bathroom. Tea kettle in the room and water in the fridge (at no extra cost) was appreciated after long days on the hills of the town. We dined at the rooftop restaurant twice and the food was excellent, views were unbelievable.
As to the hotel staff- I can’t give them enough stars! The front desk staff were so welcoming and helped us arrange a day tour, figure out our return to the train station etc. The restaurant staff was also very good and always checked on us.
Oh- the breakfast buffet can’t be missed. Well worth it and no extra charge.
Excellent hotel- highly recommend "
"Our stay at Castello di Fonterutoli Wine Resort was full of charm and relaxation. The setting in the heart of Chianti is picture-perfect, surrounded by rolling vineyards and peaceful countryside views. The sunsets here were absolutely stunning, painting the hills in warm golden light.
One of my favorite parts was ending each day with a relaxing bath in the beautiful tub—it added such a special touch to the stay. Dinner and breakfast at the resort were a real treat, with fresh, flavorful dishes and local wines that made each meal memorable.
The staff were very gracious and made us feel so welcome. It’s the perfect place to slow down, enjoy incredible food and wine, and soak in the beauty of Tuscany."
"Our stay at Poderi Arcangelo in the rolling hills of San Gimignano was nothing short of magical. Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, the views were the kind that stop you in your tracks – especially at sunset when the Tuscan hills glow gold. The food was exceptional every day, with authentic local flavours that made each meal a highlight. The staff were warm, welcoming and always tried their best to help, adding to the charm of the place. The location is perfect for exploring nearby treasures such as San Gimignano itself, Certaldo, and Volterra.
One thing to note – a hire car is essential. Public transport is virtually non-existent here; we couldn’t get a bus at all and taxis, while available, were scarce and very expensive – we spent €400 on just three journeys. This isn’t the hotel’s fault, though it would have been helpful to know in advance.
Also, while the property is beautiful, there’s no real indoor bar area for relaxing before or after dinner. There is an outdoor bar, but it only opens on weekends and closes at 18:00, so an early evening drink isn’t always possible.
Despite this, we had seven days of bliss and would return in a heartbeat – next time with a hire car, ready to explore every corner of this stunning part of Tuscany.

"Breakfast with amazing view on the terrace.
Fresh homemade bread, butter, coffee and we with my sister were in love with the spinach pie.
To be honest, we were very upset stay short time in this beautiful place and decided comeback for longer time. We were sleep as a baby, good quality linen, towels and the shower with highly water pressure. peace and quiet made us calmed and so relaxed. Good place for slow relaxation. "
"service was great, they helped us plan our time there and the city of Sienna was fantastic. The hotel is outside the main area but 1-2 minutes away in a great location"
