| Casale Virgili" is a beautiful Tuscan property in typically beautiful surroundings. There is a road nearby but it did not distract The breakfast was very good and served with a welcome. The pool was near completion & this will add to your stay.We were supplied on request with cutlery with which to eat our evening meal on our little terrace & our hosts were more welcoming than some for star hotels we have stayed in. I would definitely recommend this B & B to travellers wishing to access Siena |

| no flag on the road even in front of the gate! just the name on the bell and number of the house, but along a traffic road! not easy to recognize the entrance. Inside wide and beautiful surroundings! |

| Pleasant surroundings. Our large and very clean room had a beautiful view of the tuscan countryside. However, we could hear the highway which we found a little annoying. Breakfasts were nice and enjoyable. A pleasant stay. |

| Robert and Angela were welcoming and have an absolutely beautiful home. Directions to the property were quite difficult. We came from San Gimignano and were we to go the way of Monteriggeroni we would have driven right to the home. Breakfast was delicious with fresh fruit, meats, cheeses, yogurt, breads, coffee, etc. They have picnic tables for the guests so you can bring back food and eat over looking the city. Fabulous stay. |

| Wonderful accomodations, great location in the hills of Siena. Even though we do not speak Italian, we were able to communicate. Roberto and his wife spoke English. One thing I would have liked to know prior to our visit, was that they took credit cards for payment. Also better directions, once we saw signs by accident, we had no problem. Great stay. |

| Breakfast was not great. They served only rolls & bread. No meats or cheese. Room was noisy due to main highway closer than we expected. Very nice room and great shower. |

| Once we found Casale Virgili we were greeeted warmly by the staff and shown to our room. We found Roberto to be warm, gracious and very informative. Roberto also served the breakfast which was good and fresh each day. Best cappuccino we had in Italy. The grounds were very nice, they had a covered picnic area and lounge chairs to relax in. Both my wife and i are looking forward to returning. |

| The entire complex was lovely and the rooms clean and spacious. We were however disappointed that the traffic on the nearby busy road was very evident with the windows open. |

| The Casale Virgili is a very nice B&B, only the noise from the nearby highway is an annoyance They serve a good continental breakfast. The lady owner is nice but there is a language problem, this was overcome by the excellent assistance given by Roberto (staff member). We had a excellent stay in Siena thanks to Roberto. He directed us to local eating establishments, places to visit along with maps. |

| The road into the place is gravel, with lots of potholes. You can't walk to anything but the view was nice. Room was clean and large, but cold. We couldn't control the heat ourselves. Had to get the staff to adjust the heat a couple of times. Breakfast was terrible - one soggy brioche and stale bread at least for some of the days. No protein items offered. The main guy we dealt with was very pleasant but seemed disorganized. Had to ask to have the coffee heated in the microwave as it was only warm. Same with the tea. When we went to check out, they tried to charge us more than Venere had quoted. I had thankfully printed and brought a copy of the Venere registration form so could prove the quoted price. |

| This was the first time we had stayed in Casa Virgili. We stayed there four days and used it as a base to visit Siena and to tour around the Chianti countryside. Situated just outside Siena, but within easy driving distance of the old city. The staff were very good at providing information about the area, especially about free parking in Siena and also restaurants in the local vicinity. If you want a good meal at reasonable prices, try La Siesta in Uopini. Its not a posh place by any means, but its clean and the food is freshly cooked. It is also frequented by the locals and a great to people-watch. Breakfast is simple continental fare, but the staff are helpful and eager to please. We would go back to Casa Virgili again. |

| This was a great place to stay. The views were really nice and the room was great. Olive trees and rolling hills surround Casale Virgili. The breakfast is simple but that's how it is in Italy. If you are on foot be prepared to either take a cab or walk 10 minutes to the nearest bus stop (free bus). A cab from the train station or Siena proper is only 5-9 Euros for 2 people. If you don't speak Italian you really should before booking your stay. The owners are super nice but only speak a few words of English. We were able to get by but will know the language better the next time we stay there. |

| Everything was fine. The owners did not speak English but made up for it with gestures, and were very friendly. The gardens were pleasant, although a constant noise of traffic from the nearby highway could be heard while sitting outside, which spoiled things a little. |

| Very nice B&B. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. A lovely place to stay. We only stayed one night but wished we could have stayed a few more. A bit difficult to find at first but well worth the trouble. Excellent value. |
