What guests say

Guest reviews consistently praise the stunning views over the Tuscan hills, the cleanliness of the apartments, and the exceptional hospitality of the hosts. The quiet, scenic location is considered ideal for relaxation and also convenient for exploring Siena and surrounding attractions. The pool is a popular feature, and breakfast, when available, receives positive feedback for its abundance and homemade touches. Some guests note partial soundproofing issues between apartments, but overall, the accommodation is highly recommended for families, couples, and pet owners, thanks to great value for money and welcoming atmosphere.

Great farmhouse located on the Strada Lauretana that connects Taverne d'Arbia to Asciano. It is situated on a hill in an isolated position but convenient for visiting all the points of interest in the area. Siena can be reached in 15 minutes. The apartment is spacious and well maintained. The pool is lovely and especially the hot tub, which also offers a spectacular and relaxing view. Unfortunately, during the period we stayed it was not possible to have breakfast.

All good: beautiful structure, stunning views, and top-notch setting. I only point out that the apartments are poorly soundproofed, so I recommend bringing earplugs to avoid sleepless nights due to potentially noisy other guests. Also, in our room, the mattress was uncomfortable due to deformation from use. If you have difficulty sleeping, consider these two pieces of information carefully and discuss them with Mary to find the most suitable solution for you; she is really very kind and helpful.

The answer from the host:
Buongiorno la ringrazio per essere venuti da noi e siete sempre i benvenuti. Mi dispiace per la notte che avete passato con la confusione. Purtroppo per 1 notte è venuto un gruppo di ragazzi del basket con le famiglie e nonostante le mie riprese e quelle dei genitori non ce l abbiamo fatta a tranquillizzarli. Fortunatamente sono casi isolati. Mi scuso con voi come avevo già fatto quando eravate qui. X il materasso vi ringrazio di avermelo detto provvederò nell' immediato a cambiarlo. Grazie a voi mery.

A residence in a fairy tale place, amidst the Crete Senesi. The presence of the pool is essential to cool off after a day of excursions. Spacious apartments furnished in a shabby chic style. Everything is very clean! I only suggest to the managers to consider installing mosquito nets at least on the windows, in order to keep mosquitoes out. Otherwise everything is perfect.

The lady who manages the property is very nice and kind. Spectacular location, but far from the main inhabited centers (with all the pros and cons of this). Property equipped with everything, even a pool with a view over the hills until you can see Siena. I cannot judge the breakfast as we did not use it. Excellent value for money. To return.

We have just returned from a weekend in the Crete Senesi and found (a bit by chance on the web) this beautiful bed and breakfast! We were staying in the 'mimosa' apartment, which is simply stunning: clean, fully equipped (kitchen, bathroom, balcony, comfortable bed!) and surrounded by the beauty of the Crete! Oh, I forgot... the B&B is right on Via Lauretana, famous for the beauty of the landscapes and breathtaking sunsets. And what else to say? The beautiful swimming pool (a real refreshment in the heat of late July) and the legendary landladies Mery and Manola: two volcanic sisters champions of sympathy and courtesy! Absolutely affordable price and guaranteed relaxation; so, what are you still doing at home? The B&B Santa Caterina is waiting for you to offer you a dream vacation!

We stayed for two nights in August 2015 and we can only be enthusiastic about it. Splendid farmhouse from the early 1900s completely renovated and divided into beautiful, comfortable, very fresh apartments (without air conditioning, which is, however, available), equipped with every comfort (equipped kitchen, television, WIFI). It is located on one of the hills of the Crete Senesi and from there you can enjoy a breathtaking panorama, immersed in nature but only 7 km from Siena. The B&B also includes a very well-equipped pool area (sunbeds, umbrellas, baths, and showers) and a small lake where even our furry baby Gioia, a 5-year-old German Shepherd, can swim. Excellent breakfast prepared by the owner, a very skilled and super friendly cook, as well as very organized: upon arrival, she gives you a folder where, in addition to all the B&B services, all affiliated and non-affiliated restaurants, possible services in the surroundings (supermarkets, pharmacies, grocery stores, etc.), itineraries, spas, and activities to do are indicated. It has become our little retreat and needless to say, we recommend it to everyone and we will definitely go back, hopefully as soon as possible!
