Starda Vacation Rentals

"Beautiful, picturesque, elegant charm, romantic but also good for families. The hotel was modern but still charming. Rooms were spacious, service was wonderful and the restaurant has been one of the best! Dinner was incredible- everything on the menu. Specifically, the wild boar stew, truffle gnocchi and the Osso Bucco. Pool was perfect and again the views!!!"

"This hotel is absolutely first class. Starting with the warm welcome from the staff, who conducted check in formalities whilst we sat in the stunning gardens enjoying a drink. The property is drenched in history whilst having all mod cons - the twin world’s of a Tuscan monastery now lovingly restored into a beautifully designed hotel combine seamlessly to immerse you completely. The kitchen produces absolutely knock out dishes, the passion for the best Tuscany has to offer evident in every option; with fantastic cocktails and wine pairings aplenty. The heart of Siena is but an 8 minute drive away and the hotel offers a shuttle service. Explore the palaces, cathedral, ancient sites and restaurants at your own pace before being collected and returned to the hotel where you will find a truly tranquil escape from the city. But it is the staff who deserve the highest praise. Their love of the hotel, its place in the world and how it is part of the local community shine through in every interaction. They are warm, knowledgeable, helpful and care deeply that guests have a truly memorable stay here. If this hotel is the local crown, the staff are the diamonds within it. You must stay here; it’s the best hotel in or near Siena by a country mile. "

"An utterly enchanting escape nestled within the Tuscan hills, Castello di Spaltenna perfectly blends centuries-old charm with modern elegance. The spa and both indoor and outdoor pools are wonderfully indulgent, complemented by serene views across vineyards and olive groves. The Michelin-starred restaurant, Il Pievano, delivers exceptional cuisine under romantic candlelight, while attentive and warm-hearted service adds to every moment. Each room feels genuinely Tuscan—stone walls, beamed ceilings, cozy fireplaces—all paired with contemporary comforts. Mornings on the breakfast terrace offer breathtaking panoramas that awaken the senses, and the immaculate grounds invite long, relaxing strolls. A magical, unforgettable retreat—we can’t wait to return."
