We were looking for a quiet place to sleep within reasonable walking distance of Siena where we could prepare our own meals for a few days in between other adventures. The apartment was perfect, the staff were helpful and we were an easy stroll to a Coop where we could get our own food. The walk to town is about 15 minutes but pleasant and easy when you use the escalator from the train station. I wish we had been there in warmer weather when we might have used the pool as it looks lovely. If we are ever back in the area we would certainly stay here again.
What an amazing property, everyone was friendly and helpful, the property was walking distance to the train, grocery store, and into town. It was clean, and very comfortable, I hope we can come back and stay longer next time. Hearing the church bells from the pool, seeing Siena from the garden was stunningly beautiful. Jessica was friendly and always helpful.
It is very easy to walk to the main square yet it’s far enough where it feels like you are staying in a Tuscan villa. The pool was a bonus after a day of wine tastings. The staff was very warm and welcoming. Everything about this place was great!
The staff was super friendly and helpful. We had a great time at Borgo Grondaie. The only thing that was missing was an outside table/sitting area that belongs to the apartment we stayed at and the walk to the city center was longer than expected and not the most beautiful!
Beautiful property, helpful staff, not great laundry, little far from attraction but close to groceries, didn’t give new clean towels for a 4 day stay, if you have dietary restrictions get a room with a kitchen as food can be a challenge

Dear Mr. Snehal,regarding your stay with us, I just want to underline that you have chosen the solution apartment that doesn't have daily cleaning and breakfast included. At our property there is a laundromat that you can use or you have the chance to ask for new towels as extra service.Moreover inside the apartment there is a big note in the kitchen area that remind all guests about which facilities are included and which not.
A beautiful oasis only a stone's throw away from Siena. Has lovely grounds with a number of different places you can sit and relax.
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and very welcoming.
Great choice for breakfast and the staff again were excellent.
Would highly recommend and we will definitely stay here again
Wonderful breakfast delivered to our apartment every morning, where we could sit on our terrace and gaze at the walls and town of Siena. Great location for visiting the region….we stayed for 6 nights and didn’t want to leave. Also a COOP store within a few minute walk where we bought prepared food when we didn’t go out for dinner. I would stay here again without a hesitation.
Unique property, /-1 km from Siena, beautiful maintained grounds with flowers, plants/ trees, view from the pool on the towers of Siena, peaceful atmosphere, very clean and spacious rooms, very welcoming and helpful staff,
Highly recommended
I love this place. Quiet, safe, cozy and warm rooms, big kitchen, big car park, right next to a supermarket, etc.The only shortcoming is that there was no coffee inside the room and I had to get it from the reception lobby.
Stay here. The staff are first class helpful and friendly. Grounds are wonderful . A large groceru store a few blocks away. They dont srve dinner but will suply
Very friendly and helpful staff. Stunning pool and views over Siena. Easy parking short walk to supermarket. Great family stay.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness
The good things are: the staff is extremely nice and helpful, the breakfast is great.
The main turn off is the location- you don’t see it in the pictures but this place is behind central train station and full with traffic and noise. It’s not in a walkable distance from the city and you probably have to use your car. Therefore it’s better to have a place in the city or far away and quiet. The room wasn’t clean and from some risen this place not have its own wi fi, they use the municipality of sienna wi fi which can’t be used properly.
The price of this place is not like places in farms or hotels around the area, which will be much better and much chipset.

Response from Manager Borgo Grondaie on Oct 5, 2019
Dear Sir/Madam
I am very sorry that your stay with us has been so frustrated for you.
It’s hard for me to build a reply as you have written the review as anonymous and you have to pardon me... it’s like throwing a stone and than hidden the hand!
Regarding the Station, in Siena there is no central Station but just a small Station that is 800 mt far from our property. There are no fast trains arriving in Siena and trains are not coming from where we are located but from north.
Close to our property down the hill there is a deposit where small and local train arrive to be cleaned ( max one a day) and usually with no noise.
The noise you mentioned should be something extraordinary but we really don’t understand when as we haven’t had your same perception in the last days.
Regarding the room not cleaned, sorry but I think we should have more information regarding who you are and in which room or apartment you stayed. Probably the misunderstanding it refers to the fact that who choose the apartment solution has no daily cleaning as it’s a self catering solution.
Guests can have the housekeeper daily with few Euros more.
As we haven’t had anyone coming at Reception after arrival saying that the room/apartment was not cleaned, this let me supposed that the question regards apartment daily cleaning.
Who told you that the WIFI is from the municipality? This is absurd! The company we use for WIFI is a private one and this a private service and our wifi can be used in some areas of Siena centre using same password.
The fact that you have had problems to connect doesn’t mean that it doesn’t work or that we don’t have our private wifi. Probably it could have been a good idea to come to Reception and ask for help.
This is the way to solve problems if there are and have nice experience.
Lovely place to chill in Siena. The staff were so helpful and friendly nothing was too much trouble. Great outlook across the valley. Would recommend and defo go back. A nice walk into town but nothing to worry about and a great food shop just down the road.
3 night stay as part of a Tuscan holiday. Staff are excellent, nothing is a problem and they are happy to help with any question.
Beautiful, peaceful location just outside of Siena. Well worth a visit
Fantastic stay! Free parking and a 25 minute walk into central Siena. A tranquil retreat with a lovely pool overlooking Siena. Fabulous service and great breakfast. Wished we could have stayed longer.
The level of service was exemplary. Everyone on the staff was extraordinarily kind, patient and efficient. I cannot thank them enough.
They were both personable and professional, not to mention hard-working. This includes the entire staff: the manager, the reception staff, the wait staff and the housekeepers. Borgo Grondaie was clean and conveniently located to Siena as well as to other Tuscan hill towns. The premises and salt water pool were well-maintained and a delight. The food was fresh and tasty. I would return in an instant!
