We stayed at the Certosa with a group of friends, and we loved this hotel. It is a unique property, previously being a monastery, with beautiful grounds and pool area. The rooms are spacious, and clean, but not modern luxury. The breakfast is wonderful. The menu on the restaurant is quite progressive and high end, but they also made us dishes that we requested if there was nothing to suit us. I loved the location, being a little outside of Siena, as it provided a nice calm reprieve, and you are right in the hills of Tuscany. I was unsure if it was walkable to Siena, and found that it was an easy 15 minute walk into Siena, that we took each day during daylight. We also had no issues calling cabs, or having cabs drop us off at the hotel in the evening hours, as the roads are too narrow to walk on safely after dark. There are limited hotels with pools in the area, which is why we chose this hotel. But, the location, and overall feel of the hotel were even better than I hoped. Siena was a highlight of the trip to Italy, which included Rome, Florence, Pisa and Cinque Terra. And, if you are going to visit, I would highly recommend staying here. We would go back in a heartbeat.

My husband and I spent four nights at Certosa di Maggiano and it was one of the best experiences we have ever had. The grounds were stunning, the room was beautiful and the food was amazing. The pool was pristine and we spent a lot of our time there because of the weather, and it never appeared crowded or loud. The real stars of the show were the staff. They were all so friendly and accommodating, and after being there for a couple of nights, we got to really know them. If you can get a reservation for the Limonaia pizza night, DO IT. It was our favorite experience of the week, and maybe of our entire Italy trip, and are so happy they could fit us in. I would honestly take any negative review of this place with a grain of salt, because I have no complaints and don't see how you could. We were even looking at when we could book there again before we even left. 10/10 experience.
