There is no air conditioning, so it was very uncomfortable to sleep. Also, half the windows had missing or torn screens so we couldn’t leave the windows open for fear of bugs.

Picturesque but lots of hidden fees

This is the most beautiful property. Our room was clean and comfortable with lots of charm. Picturesque in every way. I was dissappointed that they chage you for every little thing. Even the coffee pods on day 2. You have to pay for your pool towels. You have to pay a cleaning fee, on top of the room charge. You have to take out your own garbage.

Beautiful location but be aware it is near nothing

I wanted a countryside Italian vacation but unfortunately was unable to pick up my car due to unforeseen circumstances of my bag being stolen over a bank holiday weekend before we flew out the Monday. We had to take public transport and was delayed due to weather but the hotel did provide bus timetable and offered to pick us up by taxi from Siena. We declined as transport was unpredictable. After a €25/30 taxi to the hotel we discovered it is literally no where close to anything. Over an hour walk down country lanes to the closest restaurant and over 6km drive to local shop. We were physically unable to stay here and very upset by this. We could swallow unable to stay for a night due to weather but after paying for 4 nights upfront and not spending more than 20 minutes due to the fact that it is very isolated we were offered 0 refund for not staying at all. I understand the description says countryside and gives distances from local towns but be aware that it is terribly isolated. For me even a countryside retreat should have somewhere to provide food or refreshment within a 30 minute walk or should make this more apparent on the site. I was terribly disappointed and left a very sour taste in my mouth. Do not go if you want to go out for Italian food or have some wine. Driving is a must.

Run down - Linari

Didn't like it at all. Very dissapointed. Room smelled moldie and stinky. Asked if we could cancel and were told that we couldn't without paying for the night anyway!!! Wi-Fi only available in 1 area so everyone had to sit together. No restaurant or bar. Breakfast was OK.

Good value for the money

Amazing old place! In need of some maintenance though. We had urgent problems (no hot water and no light in the bathroom) fixed immediately and the breakfast buffet was extensive and good. We were upgraded to a larger apartment and appreciated that, although the rooms could have been a bit cleaner. The bathroom had a funny odour - we think from crushed stink bugs, but we out some lavender in a bowl in there and it smelled much better. Once we got hot water, the temperature was consistent and good pressure for our shower. It would have been helpful if the water heater was explained when we got our room and how to turn on the gas stove. But we'd stay there again if we came back.

True Tuscan experience in rustic Villa!

This \"off the beaten track\" Tuscan resort will be etched in our minds forever. We stayed on the third floor of a beautiful old rustic red brick building reminiscent of the movie, A Room with A view, and believe me, what a view!The owner was most welcoming and gracious and at the end of a days work it was wonderful to see him join in the fun at the beautiful outdoor swimming pool and play water volleyball. The pool side breakfasts were amazing and inclusive with the room. We had a kitchen and didn't even need to use it. Very spacious apartment with two bedrooms and comfortable firm beds. Thank you San Lorenzo a Linari! We'll be dreaming of you.

Breath taking view... even out of the bathroom

We arrive in the dead of the night and it seem to be in the middle of nowhere. We didn't get to see the property until the next day. Our one bedroom apartment was HUGE and had many excellent views of the Tuscany country side (including the bathroom!). The vintage furniture was a nice touch and the fully equipped kitchen was useful. The location is hard to find but only a short drive to Siena and many other hill towns. Average breakfast and average staff. My only qualm was that the facilities (there were many :) seemed to be behind on maintenance.

Awesome

This place is amazing. We were supposed to stay for one night only on our way from Sicily to Rome, but we fell in love with the place and decised to stay an additional night. One Thing to note is that check in is only between 3-7 PM. We didnt read this and arrived very late at night and thought we would not be able to check in, but the staff had left us instrucions to get to the room which was really Kind of them. Surroundings are a pure Tuscna bliss. nature is extremely beautifull and those nice local houses ... Siena is just 15 min drive away . Would definitely come back for longer.

A Tuscan DREAM get-away!

Our family of 4 absolutely LOVED San Lorenzo a Linari! We would not hesitate to visit this idyllic hotel and spa again. Our bedrooms were clean, comfortable, spacious, practically decorated with side tables and armoires. The kitchen had everything we needed- the furniture had character (in a good way) and was perfect for the suite. The grounds are very well maintained and a joy to walk around. Terrific for picture taking! We enjoyed sunset ping pong by the pool- but swimming was not an option-brrr (people from AZ usually swim in 85-90 degree pools)! We got a fantastic tour of the estate from Brito who takes great pride in the grand history of San Lorenzo a Linari. The kids thought it was incredible that a Pope took his vacations here over one thousand years ago! You can even stay in the Papal Suite! WOW- maybe next time! To find it, we relied heavily on the Maps app on my iPhone - the mapquest directions were useless after we got into the general area. This would be a really relaxing place to stay if your interest is a calm destination with day trips to more touristy destinations. Our rate though Hotels.com included breakfast - and the breakfast and coffee was impressive- and worth it! Do NOT hesitate to book here- it was a vacation highlight for everyone in the family: 2 adults, 2 girls ages 12 and 14.

Griswalds European Vacation

The hotel was a beautiful tuscan villa. The views are amazing and the pool and table tennis are a nice break after a day touring the areas of Tuscany. Breakfast by the pool is a nice way to start the morning. To stay at this hotel you need a car and we did not find it easy to find but stopping and asking the locals and conversing in our limited English/Italian just added to the experience. There are a few local restaurants but we chose to eat a big lunch and then have something light back in the room.
I would recommend this hotel. The views are breathtaking, especially in the morning.

Perfect off-site location to explore Siena/chianti

Beautiful Tuscan converted covent. 9 km from Siena but close to a lot of local sights of significance to the region. The service was great and Francesca went out of her way to make sure we had an enjoyable stay. Unfortunately the weather was a little too cold to enjoy all the outdoor facilities but they sure looked amazing.

San Lorenzo - a beautiful countryside hotel

The hotel was a bit difficult to find (since we didnt have any good map and no GPS), but it was worth all trouble. It is alocated in the most beautiful landscape sourounded by breathtaking views outside your window. You definitely need a car to get here. It was low season (april) when we visited the hotel, and it almost seemed as we were alone in this quite big hotel, which was a great feeling. Our room was just perfect and when you opened one of the windows you see hills and hear birds singing. I truly recommend it and hope to be back some day.

Et fint sted

Det første vi blev mødt af, var et rart og velkommende personale der fortalte os alt om tøjvask, restauranten og lokalområdet.

Der var desværre problemer med poolen de første par dage.
Heldigvis gjorde personalet alt hvad de kunne, for at få den op at køre igen.
Og den var dejlig afkølende da den virkede.

Tennis og bordtennis var tilgængeligt hele tiden og fungerede fint med at låne diverse ketchere og bat i receptionen.

Vi havde det lidt varmt da der ingen aircondition var, men det var vi velvidende om inden vi tog afsted.
Til vores overraskelse var der både en blæser og en vifte i loftet, som fik det til at føles lidt køligere.
Lille tip: tag en ekstra blæser med.

I starten var der næsten intet vand i hanen, men da vi gik ned i receptionen og fortalte dem om det, gjorde de noget ved det med det samme.

Så alt i alt var det et dejligt, men varmt ophold med god mad og smuk natur.

Unieke locatie op 7km van de rand van Siena. Netjes welkom geheten, kamers en inrichting passend bij de historische waarde van het voormalige klooster. Zeer ruime kamers met alle voorzieningen. Enige minpuntje is de badkamer, geen moderne inloopdouche maar een ouderwetse douchebak. Ontbijt eenvoudig maar meer dan voldoende, o.a. vers fruit, broodje, croissants en héle lekkere espresso! Al het personeel doet echt moeite om het verblijf te veraangenamen. Tip: het diner in het hotel is van zeer goede kwaliteit! En de serveerster verdient een dikke pluim!

Hotel agréable ayant beaucoup de Charme. Belle piscine propre et avec beaucoup d'espace autour pour se détendre. Bel appartement, bien équipé, mais pas super propre (vieille bâtisse).

Un spa est installé au même endroit (mais nous n'avons pas eu le temps de le tester).

Nice - if you can find it

Nice experience staying in an old convent. Good value for money. Pool looked nice, even though we did not use it. Breakfast area a bit cramped. Major problem, however, was finding the place. Roadsigns are bad or not existing even up to the point where you are in fact in front of the place (be sure to check if your GPS will accept the exact adress).

En cuanto consigues llegar, merece la pena

Grata y cómoda estancia en un complejo impresionante, sobretodo por el entorno y el jardín. Nos costó bastante encontrar el lugar, llegamos de noche y los amables vecinos de San Rocco Linari nos ayudaron a llegar al hotel, debería estar señalizado o bien facilitar coordenadas e indicaciones. Estuvimos en una planta con tres habitaciones, aunque una de las camas era un sofá bastante incómodo a pesar que en la web figuraba que se trataba de tres camas matrimoniales. Tendría más encanto si la decoración estuviera un poco más cuidada, más acogedora; pero en general se trata de un lugar perfecto para pasar una o dos noches.

Nicht 4 Sterne

Das Hotel war definitiv keine 4 Sterne. Wir haben einen Apartment für 2 Personen gebucht. Das Apartment war relative groß aber die Küche sehr klein.Fernsehen war ca. 40 cm gross. Die Möbel waren alt aber OK aber das Hotel ist 1000 Jahre alt. Vorher einen Kloster und danach Privat gekauft. Ich habe den Einblick, da wird überall hier gespart. Poolbar sehr schwach besetzt; sogar kein Wein vorhanden!! Abends muss man wirklich Auswärts was unternehmen weil im Hotel wird nichts angeboten. Der Pool war nicht auf modernsten Zustand. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit aber zu wenig für diese Anlage. Treppenhaus könnte gründlich gereinigt werden: viele toten Mücken und Staub. Frühstück wird am Poolbar als Buffet serviert und war reichlich und gut. Das Haus könnte so charmant sein. Die Kulisse ist sehr romantisch aber es fehlt leider in jeder Ecke. Wir haben nur kurz in einen größeren Zimmer reingeschaut, hat viel mehr an zu bieten. Wir haben letztes Jahr in einen 3 Stern Hotel mehr angeboten bekommen.
