Amazing unique castle stat!
Truly remarkable experience in an 800 year old castle. The grounds are beautiful and include olive trees on the farm. Great views. Quaint experience with the owners who run the castle as a bed and breakfast. Our suite easily accommodated our family of five. We are grateful for the intimate breakfast the following morning. Can’t recommend this place enough as it has given us great memories

This property is absolutely amazing in every way. Staying in this historic castle was a memory that will last forever. Our hostess was gracious and attentive. Breakfast was delicious! I couldn’t stay away from the windows! Each one framed the beautiful countryside, it was like something out of a movie! There are only 3 guest rooms here- our stay was quiet! I could have stayed here for my entire trip! I highly recommend for anyone wanting something authentic and beautiful!

The host (Nicola) is always accommodating and available. Castle is quite charming and a great place to explore nearby Tuscany (including Siena) from. Exceeded expectations of what staying at a 14th century castle would be like. It’s magical to stay in a castle. And there were no ghosts and no vampires! (But it’s fun to pretend!)

Thank you for your nice review. Happy to hear it was a special part of your holiday. We especially appreciated your words about the castle itself, in fact the castle walls themselves want to thank you as with your stay here you contributed to the preservation of this precious piece of the Tuscan historical heritage. Hoping to see you here again some time in the future.

Medieval castle on a hill near Siena
Entered the property through large gated driveway which curved through the large estate to the castle perched on the hilltop surrounded by an olive tree grove and tall pines. Beautiful building and setting. Were warmly welcomed by the manager Valeria who got us settled, gave us a tour and provided some history of the castle. Great common areas on the upper floors and castle tower. Impressive views in all directions of the Tuscan countryside and Siena. Spent a good part of the day just walking the estate and then relaxing on the terrace in the late afternoon. Took far too many pictures. Definitely the highlight of our trip.

The Quattro Torra is an amazing castle!
Wonderful stay at Quattro Torra. The room is all brick, arched windows, hand hewn wood beams, and incredible views of Sienna and Tuscan farmland. Don't miss dinner and cooking school at the owner's restaurant. The Florentine steak and truffled raviolis were amazing. Learned to make pasta and some sauces at the cooking school. This was one of the most memorable parts of a 3 week vacation in Italy, Germany, and Amsterdam. One note, there is no elevator, and a fair amount of stairs to get to your room. Great views await.

Check in was a bit confusing. This is a castle and when we arrived no one answered the door initially. We knocked and rang the bell several times and finally called the contact number when a cousin of the owner answered the door. On the phone the owner said he had been called away. The cousin showed to one of two rooms (we were traveling with another couple) and told to wait because she didn't know anything. The mother finally came and took us to the other room. The second room was on the equivalent of a three flights of stairs. Otherwise very cozy.

Unique experience close to Siena
This is a 700 year old castle/fortress. It was a very cool, unique experience. We stayed in one of the turrets. Beautiful views. You need to climb up a narrow spiral staircase to reach the main floor and bathroom. You need to climb up another narrow, spiral staircase to reach the bedroom. Bed was very comfortable. It sits outside of Siena so you are away from the crowds but it is only a 5-10 minute drive to get to Siena.

Within a few minutes from Siena, on the east side
Since I started planning our trip to Italy, I always wanted to stay in a castle for one night. Found the castle to be very private, our own room was at the corner of one of the towers. We had the Blu Room which faced Siena. Very spacious room with window that opened up. Great view of the valley and of Siena City. Entry into the castle is through the main castle door. Enter the inside walls of the castle, look up to see the sky, climb lots of stairs. (If you have difficulty with stairs, this is probably not for you). You enter into the main TV room that is situated on the main floor of the owner's quarters, main floor with sofas. The owner greeted us, got our key and our room. Very spacious room, as well as bathroom, with great view, mini bar, hair dryer and a comfortable bed. Allergic to kitty cats - may want to stay away, friendly cats go about on their own if not restricted to private areas. Owner's son owns a fantastic ristorante a few kms away. Great food and wine! Full breakfast served in the morning - brioche, cookies, buns, marmalade, own honey and honey with saffron, cheeses, meats, fruits, juice, coffee to your liking, yoghurt and cereal. Really enjoyed our stay at this castle.

The owners toured us around the castle, drove us with their family to their restaurant for an amazing dinner (in the top 2 meals we had anywhere in Italy over 12 days). We chatted with another couple staying at the castle who absolutely adored it as well! We were in awe by the views - it was surreal! The breakfast the next morning was perfect! Our stay was too short. Highly recommend!

Tuscan retreat in an authentic fortress!
My mother and I had an excellent stay at the Castello del Quattro Torra. It was amazing. We loved it and hope to return one day. It is just a short taxi ride (12 euro) from the center of Siena and it was full of character. We couldn't believe how wonderful it was - a true Tuscan retreat. This is a 13th century fort that was converted into a home and has been in the owner's family since the 1800s. It is surrounded by the beautiful countryside. I had the tower room that provided a 360 degree view of the region. It was awesome! Bear in mind though - people who have a hard time climbing stairs may not want this room. My mom did not -and so she stayed in the apartment on the first floor (only up one flight of stairs). Both rooms were very nice and clean, quaint and quiet. Breakfast was included and it was fine (nothing too special). The owner Nikola greeted us and was very friendly. He even picked us up with his family and took us to his wonderful farmhouse restaurant. The food was absolutely superb! They made our experience so lovely and we will never forget it.

The location, just a short cab ride outside of Siena, is absoultely gorgeous. The service was excellent, breakfast was delicious, and it's a beautiful walk into Siena if you choose to do so. The bedroom was very clean, the bathroom was spacious, and the condition as a whole was great. I would definitely stay there again, and I can't explain how beautiful the location is. Definitely worth the price!

Feel like a king and queen in your own castle
This is the best castle I've ever stayed in. As long as you are not expecting the Ritz or modern chic decorations, you will not be disappointed. We stayed in the normal "Double Room", not the tower or apartment. It was large, spacious and not damp or musty. The only complaint was that water pressure for the shower was low. Be aware that there are lots of stairs to climb. There is a basket for lifting luggage but no elevator.

Amazing relaxed experience just outside of Sienna
We have three girls aged between 8 and 12 and we were absolutely thrilled with our choice of accommodation for Sienna. It was lovely to stay in a building of such historical significance, and so lovely for the girls to run and play outside - through the olive groves and amongst the pomegranate trees after a day of sightseeing. The views out of windows of our very spacious apartment were as if out of a tuscan oil painting - simply beautiful. The breakfast in the dining room were delicious and perfect before a busy day out. We were made to feel right at home and the hosts were very helpful.

Who doesn't want to sleep in a castle?
Once in a lifetime trip to Italy for my niece and her girls. Two nights in the castle were exciting for us all. I gave it 5 stars on ambiance alone! The view from our 1st ,(2nd in the US), floor apartment over the Tuscan hills was magnificent. Wild boar and piglets in the new plowed field. Small barn owl on the morning walk and fireflies in the evening. Small kitchen had everything, look for the plates in the hutch. If you have a car you are good. If like us, coming by train, taxi will be 12 to 15 euro for the ride to the station and into Siena and back. Nice and quiet, except for the happy birds at dawn, good for me I'm an early riser. 20 minute walk into town for groceries and vino. The staff was excellent, the breakfast was typical European and the coffee was strong. If you are on the top floor, do not carry your bags up, there is a hoist you will see inside the main door.

Good experience
This is a experience to live in a 15 century old small castle. This building was build as military outpost to guard the Siena as I learned from the owner. If you go please ask for the room at the top of the tower which will give you beautiful 4 side view of the Tuscany rolling hill. Plus the room and bath were newer. It took 15 mins. car drive from Siena. I don't know if you can get Taxi to pick you up. We live in a family apartment at lower level. It was spacious but not well updated room and bath.

Spectacular views and fabulous hosts
Quattro Torra was our home in Tuscany for 8 days and it was the best part of a fabulous vacation. The hosts Nicola and Laura ware freindly and very helpful. The breakfasts in the private dining room each morning was delightful and our hosts were eager to help with any questions, directions or assistance we might need. Most of the time we felt like we had the place to ourselves. The castle is beautiful and the area is gorgeous, even in December. The place is maintained incredibly well. If you're looking for 5 star comfort, convenience, full service staff, and resort-type amenities find another location. If you want someplace quiet and serene that is historic and beautiful with a relaxing atmosphere there's no place better. There are a lot of stairs. No elevators in the 13 century and it would be a violation to the architecture and atmosphere to add one. I wouldn't change a thing about the place!

This is a great bed and breakfast outside the walls of Siena. Be sure you let them know before you arrive...after all it is a castle and they won't hear you if you knock! The views are spectular and the atmosphere is charming. I would suggest having a rental car with you during your stay.

The Tuscan Experience
The stay at the Four Towers was a major highlight of our vacation in Italy. After driving down the Chianti Trail all day, with the sun close to the horizon, we topped a hill, and there is was, about the most enchanting place you could possibly stay in Tuscany. The accommodations where plain (antique-ish), but the midevil feel of the castle trumps everything. It was April, cool and green for as far as the eye could see. Opening the windows in the morning displayed fog-covered, rolling hills. The surrounding olive trees were being trimmed. We asked, and were given a lesson in the proper way to trim an olive tree. Nicola, our host, was a charming Italian man with doable English. He was walking up from the fields as we drove up the cypress-lined road to the castle. Don't expect the Ritz-Carlton here, it is a 13th century castle! Castello delle Quattro Torra was an experience my wife and I will never forget. This is why I came to Italy!!!!
