My husband and I just returned from our first visit to Italy. This was our favorite place and it is because of Sergio and Alessandra (the owners) that you feel like you're staying with family. We were on a tour with six other people and this was our last stop before our tour of Rome. I was so sad to... more

I have been meaning to write this review for over a year, because this is the type of place you can't wait to tell everyone about. My boyfriend and I stayed at La Tana dell'Istrice for 3 days (not long enough!) in September 2005. We planned our trip to spend 1/2 a week in Rome, 1/2 a week in Umbria,... more

We stayed here for two nights to celebrate my husbands 50th birthday and enjoyed every minute. We had to cancel our much anticipated dinner on the first night thanks to Easyjet cancelling our flight. We did not arrive until 11.30pm but Alessandra greeted us on arrival and could not have been more accomodating. The next day Sergio invited us to... more

We arrived via the excellent driving directions provided by the hotel. The town is small, sleepy & quiet. If you are looking for a pure local experience , this is exactly what you want. The hotel itself is charming in its simplicity. The overall experience was quite pleasant and the staff & owners very accomodating. Some minor hiccups. The warning... more

We stayed at La Tana for one night and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The hotel had just re-opened after closing for the winter but the owners were nice enough to let us book one night's stay. The restaurant was closed, but we did have breakfast there...a full spread even though it was just my husband and I staying at the... more

The rooms are nice, the owners are lovely but the real reasons to stay here are the food and wine. They are fantastic! We stayed here en route from Siena to Rome - the place is hard to find but well worth it. After listening to an hilarious band practice by the locals, we came down from our room in... more

We stayed here our last night in Italy and wished that our entire stay would have been so satisfying. The hotel is absolutely beautiful and charming, with hosts to match. Sergio and Alessandra are so warm and friendly, it’s as if you’ve come to their home for a stay. The dinner at the cozy restaurant (which is closed on Sundays)... more

I got married here in 2002. The hotel is beautiful, the owners are lovely, the food is fantastic… The hotel is located in a picturesque village that is off the tourist trail so you get a real taste for the true Italy. All the food and wine is local and organic. This is a great base to explore the region... more

If you want to be looked after and not have to think about where to go for a meal once you return to your hotel for the night, then this is the place for you. The food and hospitality, not to mention the wine, which they produced themselves in their own vinyard, were all just perfect. We stayed here last... more
