Description

The farmhouse has been lovingly restored, is built around an old mill of the thirteenth century, offers a spacious and shady garden with pool and barbecue. The apartments for 2-6 people, retain the characteristics of a time, are furnished with care, offer self-service heating, fully equipped kitchens, TV.

Only in winter we ask the payment for heating, here we have the GPL and the price is € 5, 00 for cm.

Then there are 2 bedrooms with private bathroom each one there are inside our home like a real English B&B. The large garden is arranged to enjoy the beautiful breakfast, which the owners offer their guests, eat, enjoy the excellent Tuscan wines or relax around the pool.

The B&B Palazzo a Merse is specialized in the cyclists and trekkers, offering specific services such as rental bikes and a description of routes.

The B&B Palazzo a Merse is a “borgo” that was once the farm of the peasants who worked in the mill next door. Today the village has been carefully restored respecting the history, traditions and culture. Each apartment has a private entrance with ample space in the garden.

Hello my name is Andrea, I run the B&B Palazzo a Merse since 1999. My biggest passion is traveling and just from a trip to Scotland came up with the idea of opening a B&B in our home that has plenty of spaces. The atmosphere of hospitality in the family, the smell of the breakfast, contact with the locals, which we found on the trip, made us take the idea and since our house is open to the traveler.

What guests say

Guests consistently praise the warm hospitality of the hosts, the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms, and the property's charming, peaceful setting close to Siena. The plentiful breakfast and on-site pool are highlighted as major pluses, along with the convenient location for exploring the region by car. A few reviews mention that outdoor areas could be better maintained in the off-season, but overall, the property is highly recommended for a relaxing stay and excellent value.

This was the third time I’ve stayed here and highly recommend it. The hosts are friendly, helpful, and very welcoming. The location is easy to find and provides good access to that part of Tuscany. The accommodations are spotless, comfortably furnished, and have a well-equipped kitchen. There was a leak in the bathroom while we were there which was quickly fixed. Great value for the cost. Strongly recommended.

We loved our stay at the B&B Palazzo a Merse. From the communication with the host to the room. In the middle of nature, just 10 minutes by car from Siena. We stayed in a garden-level room with a private bathroom. There is a communal garden, and also a small area with a table and chairs in case you want to have your little picnic. They prepare breakfast in the garden at the time you request, everything delicious. Croissants, local pastries, toast, jams, Nutella, butter, coffee, yogurt, cereal, milk and if that is not enough, they also offer you cheeses and cold cuts in case you prefer savory (like my partner). An experience to repeat without a doubt, highly recommended. It also has the swimming pool available.

Lovely place, immersed in a private garden a few kilometers from Siena. The room was large, clean, bright, with an outdoor veranda and easy access to the parking lot. We also really enjoyed the rich breakfast, croissants, yogurt, cereals, and if desired, also cold cuts and cheeses. Courteous and discreet owners but always available if needed. Definitely worth repeating, maybe for more than one night.

Hello, thank you very much for the friendliness of the managers, enchanting and relaxing place.

I found the structure excellent both for the rooms and the exteriors and for the location that allows you to reach the most interesting places in the area, I would also like to add that the breakfast is really abundant and varied, but above all I was impressed by the kindness and professionalism of the managers, always very nice and helpful. In short, the managers you would always want to find on these occasions and who demonstrate how this is truly their mission. I won't add anything else, if I have the opportunity I will definitely come back and in any case I will recommend it to anyone who wants to go to the area. A huge thank you for the stay. B&B Palazzo a Merse.

The answer from the host:
Ciao Antonio e grazie infinite per la bellissima recensione, certamente una tra le belle mai ricevute! E dobbiamo anche dire che avere ospiti come te, cordiali e sempre sorridenti rende questo lavoro molto piacevole! Se ritornerai sarà senz'altro un immenso piacere e intanto ti auguriamo una spledida estate! Saluti da Palazzo a Merse, Margherita.

marina

Structure located in a charming place, with a really beautiful garden that pleases the eye and invites relaxation. The only downside, perhaps because I stayed in May and in low season, the exteriors are not so well maintained, dusty tables, chairs not too clean which make it a bit difficult for customers to enjoy them. On the other hand, nice and welcoming managers.

We stayed for 4 nights at a room in the owner's house.\n\nPros: the room was comfortable, very clean, well decorated. The yard is peaceful. Most of the breakfast stuff was tasteful. Close to Siena and other worth-to-visit places/villages (there is no other way but car to visit them).\n\nCons: there wasn't a separate entrance for the room access. We should cross the TV room of the family to go to our room (it wasn't mentioned). They didn't change any sheets or towels. They didn't collect our trash not even once.

stayed from 09/08/2015 to 09/12/2015

The answer from the host:
Dear Nikolaos, we are happy that you find our room confortable and clean even if you give us only a 7 for it! We are sorry about your disappointement about the entrance, change of towels/sheet and trash. In any case the entrance is private we don't use it, and it is true that you have to pass cross the TV room but no other guests find this as annoying thing indeed that is precisely what is required for a B&B, staying in contact with family, otherwise there are hotels... in the web-site is mentioned that the room is in the same house of owner. Sorry we change towels and sheets only one a week, but in the rules that you could find in the room you could read that if you need you could ask to us and we could change them with an additional payment. Ciao, Margherita Palazzo a Merse
