Rifugio da Giulia - Grosseto (province)

We traveled to Italy during the winter months, and while this place was a cute little B&B, the heat had not been turned on prior to our arrival and it did really not adequately warm up overnight. The breakfast the next morning was lovely, the views were beautiful. I could see this being a really great place to stay as long as it is during warm weather. Communication is also very difficult if you do not speak Italian.

Excellent place, the restaurant is fantastic and the city center is very close, wi-fi and breakfast were a nice addition

We couldn't have been more delighted with our time at Locanda del Ponte located out in the country about 14 kilometers from the small town of Monticiano! When I opened the shutters of my room's window, the view took my breath away: a grape arbor, a river, fields and hills and a ruined Roman bridge! It was like a Tuscan postcard. The rooms were comfortable. The staff was gracious and helpful. The food in the restaurant was some of the best we had in Italy. And the price was amazing in late October. If you are heading for Tuscany and would like to stay in a fantastic little hotel, this is the one. Within driving distance are small medieval hill towns (like Volterra with its Roman ruins and fascinating Etruscan museum), Chiusdino, off the beaten track, and a haunting ruined abbey, former home of St. Galgano who, like King Arthur, has a sword in stone legend. You can see the sword/stone itself at the nearby church. I give this hotel my highest recommendation. For the price, it's just incredible.

Very romantic get-a-way for two. Borgo Pretale offers a quiet, idyllic Tuscan setting. It was a perfect side trip into the countryside from Siena. Plenty to-do for a day: archery, fitness center, pool, and a day hike. We stayed in the second floor of the tower in a split-level suite with a second bed and en-suite bathroom.

The best hotel of our 15 month journey around the world. I cannot wait to go back to the hotel and enjoy the views, gym, food and wine. The staff is courteous and helpful. Worth the splurge!!!
