This was the first trip to Italy for my wife and I. We chose this hotel based on descriptions of the view and facility. We were not disappointed. The morning view of the hills rolling from rich green out to distant pale blue mountains was wonderful. We had a two level room with a sturdy metal winding stair. It was the quietest of the four hotels we stayed in on our trip. The Duomo, Baptistry and "crypt" at the center of town were stunningly ornate and beautiful. For a great view take the spiral stone staircases to the top of the Facade.

A gem of a small hotel located just outside the Roman gate away from the bustling city center. Pleasant walk to the center, but local bus service also is available. My room faced the road but was not noisy at all with the window and shutter closed at night. The garden is perfect for breakfast and lunch, with a sunny room also available for rainy days. Very friendly, competent and helpful staff. A small grocery store and a fantastic bakery are nearby, about 200-300 meters down the road away from the Roman gate. I'd recommend a taxi to and from the train station, which is across town from the hotel. I´d come back to this hotel anytime.

This was our first visit to the Santa Caterina. We were particularly satisfied with the helpful, welcoming attitude of the staff and the peaceful garden. Access to the centre of Siena was easy, a 10 minute walk. There is quite a good restaurant about 200 yards from the hotel.

If you are going to book try to get room 19, it has the only balcony in the hotel that shows great views into a valley below sienna. Half the rooms show a good view, the other half show a view of a busy road! The hotel is outside the city walls and it's about a 15 minute uphill walk to the main piaza.

The staff were helpful and polite. The room was clean and pleasant. The location was fabulous. Just at the entrance to the walled historic centre easy to walk into Siena square. The breakfast in the garden was amazing. The view out over Tuscany was breathtaking and we shall be going back.

A lovely hotel and excellent welcome from very friendly staff. a pleasant 10-15 mins walk from the centre of Siena but quite a walk from the station but on the bus route although buses are very crowded. Bus station is nearer. Room was on 2 levels with bedroom up a staircase not suitable for anyone with limited mobility. Only a wardrobe and no drawers in the room. Would have been perfect if it had also had a balcony! Lovely gardens to sit and relax in and enjoy a leisurely breakfast.

the hotel, staff and location were ideal! just back 2 weeks ago(july 08). the hotel is 500 hundred feet from la porta romana which leads to the campo, an additional 10 to minute walk. we had a room with a view of the splendid garden, a loft bedroom lovely bath and precious oak armoire. the view from the garden was "soo tuscany"breakfast was generous and served by a lovely server,friendly and willing to please. the desk staff suggested great restaurants. we were most delighted!

Lovely little hotel conviniently placed just outside the roman gate=calmness after the tourist tracks round the Campo and Doumo. Nice and relaxing walk to centre with small bus service availible. Unfortunelately placed just by a road with traffic light meaning some noise from the road, but once you are in a room facing the garden it´s OK (I wouldn´t wánt one facing the street). The lovely garden with panoramic views is a tranquil place to relax. Very friendly and sensitive staff. We´d come back anytime. In case I missed to mention it: Siena and Toscana is just pure magic.

Hotel Santa Caterina is located in a great spot, outside the walls of the city. Staff were very friendly, car parking was good. The only down side, was the room, it was a tiny loft room, with the bathroom and wardrobe downstairs and the bed was up a narrow spiral staircase, wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea. I would stay there again and request a different room.

The rooms were beautiful and the view from our room was magnificent! Our children had a triple, which was a 2-story room with one bed and the bathroom downstairs and an iron spiral staircase up to the loft with room for 2. They loved it!

Great location, great rooms and views over Tuscan hills. Breakfast on the terrace garden a must, great choice and views.Although the location is just below the Porte Romano, the walk to the Campo is more like 1000 metres, not the 700 they say. Still it was a nice walk.

Short stay in a very nice hotel. It was not the season to enjoy the garden. The price to park the car is expensive as the car is in the back of the garden. Is it sure ?

Overall we were happy with our stay at this hotel .The staff were very helpful and welcoming,the room was clean and comfortable with a good view over the countryside South of Siena.We had no problem with traffic noise as has been mentioned in some reviews of this hotel but as we stayed in February windows and shutters facing the road were kept closed.The hotel is well located (especially for arrival by car) to visit the old town as it is about 200 metres from the Porta Romana entrance gate from where it is a 10 minute walk to the centre of the old town. Parking is a problem in the whole area but the hotel does offer private parking at extra cost however getting in and out of this private parking area in anything other than a smallish car would be almost impossible !

Our view was breathtaking, the view of the rolling tuscany hills, we had the only room with the balcony. Worth the take this room. The breakfast was excellent and the garden setting is beautisul. it is a nice walk to the main piazza. Ask the hotel to recommend dinner venues.

We would return in a heartbeat, the location is perfect; just outside the city walls, with a lovely garden in the back. Breakfast was in a beautiful sunny room looking out over the hotel garden; VERY friendly staff, and we loved our room, even though it was a bit small; that was not an issue for us.

Lucky to get a garden room on the ground floor which was just lovely. I couldn't believe how peaceful it was given that there where main roads on two sides of this hotel. Whether on not other guests are so lucky I can't say. Quite a long haul up to the "campo" but not out of reach of the determined pedestrian! Superb small hotel.

wonderful views of tuscany from back rooms. a little hard to find due to lack of street signs. must pay to park. staff very friendly, breakfast in gardens was great.

Situated on the corner of a main road junction our initial fears were soon dispelled. With a room overlooking the gaarden there was no traffic noise and our stay of 3 nights proved a very pleasent one. The room had very effective AC, was very clean and well appointed as was the bathroom which had good towels and hot water flowed from the hot tap. Breakfast was a very pleasent experience with a wide selection provided buffet style. each morning we were able to eat in the garden but if this had not been possible I think the breakfast room would of been very crowded. Apart from breakfast the garden was a pleasent place to sit and the hotel does serve refreshments there. However there is very little casual seating available !00 meteres from the Santa Romana gate and 700 from Il Campo the hotel is a good tourist base and we would return

very good location, near to the porta Romana. excellent breakfast in a beautiful garden, people charming and good hospitality unfortunately we did not have a view on the garden but the room was spacious and night quiet, noise of the street during the morning though (parking is 15 e but it is inside the park) only negative point is that we cannot stand or park even few minutes in front of the hotel. Romantic scenery we will go back

The hotel is right outside the walls of this great town. It is a small hotel that was very welcoming and freindly. We had room 19 which is the only one with a balcony. The views from the room are spectacular (see photo). The outdoor breakfast area is set in beautiful surroundings and with excellent service. I could not find fault with the hotel and would return again.
