The Borgo Pretale left us feeling ambivalent about our visit. As the name implies, it was once a fortress. Other than the building shape and construction, there are few indications of its past use. We were very impressed with many features and disappointed with others. Let me start with the positives and work from there. Positives: • It is situated... More

Borgo Pretale is the place where you can travel back in time! We rent an apartment for 4 nights. The suit was lovely and just perfect. The houses are made of stone, outside there are wooden blinds in front of the windows and doors, there is also a private little terrace in front of each apartment. The rooms are comfortable... More

As a family of six we enjoyed the best of everything - some played tennis, some had a swim and some went sightseeing. Beautiful cottages, good restaurant and friendly staff. Recommended.

What a beautiful place! The food was rather expensive but well worth it. We did a tuscan roadtrip and stopped off here for 2 nights enabling us to do day trips to Sienna and surrounding countryside. We were lucky enough to stay in the tower with a four poster bed. The room was very hot at night but had a... More

Borgo Pretale is not a hotel that would be considered conventional. In fact the staff and manager are quite eccentric, but in a good way. They are laid back but always helpful. The location of this hotel is quite stunning, and comprises an exquisite, ancient medieval classic Tuscan stone building housing reception, restaurant and bar, with sensitively designed stone cottages...

Borgo Pretale was magic. When we arrived, I was literally moved to tears by how beautiful it was. The grounds were immaculately kept, and the staff was so kind and did everything they could to make our stay memorable. It was our honeymoon and this was the ideal romantic setting for us to celebrate our marriage. Luna dei Meille! Next... More

We used to stay here once a month when he had meeting in our Siena office. A lovely rustic, typically Italian hotel with lovely surroundings. Maybe a bit remote for some who may be visiting to tour Siena but a fab hotel. The service is good and the food was also lovely.

We spent two nights at Borgo Pretale in September, and it was lovely. The grounds are beautiful. Simply sitting in a chair looking out over the fields and hills was an event in itself. The first night we ate dinner on the grounds and found it to be delicious and not too over-priced (apps, entrees, bottle of wine and dessert... More

We were in Borgo Pretale for a weekend and we were not treated like welcome guests. No flexible reactions to any of our wishes and in the end, we even had to double check the bill as they had charged us things twice. The grounds are really beautiful but this hotel is not up to date in any cases. Rooms,... More
