My husband and I stayed in Frances' Lodge for only two nights late last October, during our 30th anniversary trip to Tuscany and Rome, but it was far and away the highlight of our trip. It is the perfect jumping off point for touring Siena--and the rest of Tuscany--and a reasonably easy (and short, if you don't detour) drive down... more

We traveled to Italy, for our anniversary. We both agree the highlight was our stay at France's Lodge just outside the walls of Siena. It was such a warm, beautiful setting, with outstanding extra's such as our double shower, and beautiful setting. We enjoyed the three days, and believe we had the best breakfast served in Italy! Franco and Frances... more

Frances Lodge is one of the finest B&Bs we have ever enjoyed. Our room was quite comfortable and well furnished. From the warm welcome with Frances's limoncello to our last breakfast in the beautiful garden four days later, Franco and Frances were consummate hosts. They could not be more accommodating. From help with our touring plans, the available laundry service,... more

This must be the best place to stay to explore Siena and Southern Tuscany. Frances and Franco are lovely people who do everything possible to make your stay a memorable experience. The themed rooms are magic - we stayed in the Moroccan Room - well eqipped and lovingly maintained. Individually tailored breakfasts on the patio were fantastic and, instead of... more

This Lodge is wonderful in every way! Frances and Franco are the best hosts I've ever had while traveling. They are accomodating and give fabulous tips and directions for getting around Siena and Tuscany. All of their recommendations were perfect. They also set up a wonderful wine tour and tasting for us in Montalcino! The lodge has lovely views of... more

Frances Lodge is amazing with views of Siena and the Tuscan hillside from all sides. Franco and Frances are terrific hosts with great reputations in the Siena community. People in Siena were so willing to help when they learned you were staying with Franco and Frances at Frances lodge. I was concerned because some reviews I read said that staying... more

We stayed 6 days at Frances Lodge, in Siena, Italy in October, 2007 and absolutely loved this farm house and the owners, Franco and Frances. Both were so welcoming. Frances does an excellent job helping you plan your days, if you want her too. She even provides maps to your destination and offers suggestions to go to places not mentioned... more

We stayed at Frances' Lodge for 5 days in March 2007. It truly felt like our little home! We had an apt with our own living area/kitchenette and our own porch and patio. Every night we would leave our breakfast order outside our door and the next morning we would have huge cappucinos, eggs, breakfast pastries, etc in the lodge's... more

We planned our stay at Frances' Lodge in the middle of a two week trip through Italy. It was, by far, our favorite part of the trip. Although early May is not supposed to be the highest tourist season, we got totally burned out of the crowds in Rome, Florence, Venice and even Siena. We stayed 5 nights and Frances... more
