Great stay near the Crete Chinese area.

What a beautiful location with good facilities like a swimming pool, a great garden with great views etc. A good base to visit the area (Crete Chinese). Warm treatment from Luciano and Laura. Good breakfast and a nice quiet room. We enjoyed it very much. Thanks for the extra hours in the garden.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this proprietor run B&B and hope to return.

This is in a lovely rural location with views of the countryside. The owners have a dog, keep chickens and geese and a vegetable garden. They use some of this produce in the breakfasts. Their tomatoes were superb and they evidently took pride in the quality of the selection of home made cakes, biscuits and some savoury dishes at breakfast. Laura was very accommodating in making me pots of tea. We were going to a wedding and she offered to make us lunch. Anticipating sandwiches we were delighted by a fantastic selection of local bread, meats, cheese and tomatoes. Although our room had aircon and the weather was in the 30s, as the room was airy with high ceilings we didn’t need it, which was ideal. With the geese nearby it felt safe to leave ground floor windows open at night. The room was spacious, simple and rustically furnished but very clean, with enough storage, a small fridge and pretty quilted bedspreads. Our shower room was compact but spotlessly clean with plenty of towels, which were freely replaced. Our room was in a single storey building adjacent to the main house. It had a hallway shared with the room next door, with a kettle and doors onto a shaded seating area. This arrangement would be convenient if you were going as part of a group. The property is on a hiking route from Rome to Canterbury (Via Francigena). There were lots of keen hikers who really appreciated that each room had a clothes airer so they could rinse and dry items of clothing in their own seating area. Thankfully no sweaty hiking for me - just some delicate swimwear to be refreshed by the sunlight! Il Canto Del Sole has a generous sized pool, which is salt water and very refreshing. There were plenty of comfortable loungers with side tables and an open, spacious well maintained garden. Much of the time I had it to myself and it was gloriously peaceful.

Quiet, relaxing escape in Tuscan property.

Really lovely breakfast. Homemade cakes and savoury items too. Sandwiches, omelettes, cold cuts and cheese etc. Great location, very quiet and close to Siena and other Tuscan hilltop towns. Loved evening dips in the swimming pool!

Amazing place to return.

Amazing place near Siena. You definitely need a car to travel there. The hotel run by a family and owners are very helpful. Cleaning is done daily, swimming pool cleaned in the morning as well. Breakfast is very good for Italy, not only sweets but even eggs are available. Good coffee.

Beautiful getaway in Toscana

This is the most serene and peaceful b&b that one could imagine. The property is beautiful and surrounded by rolling hills, Luciano and Laura are hospitable and extremely kind hosts that go out of their way for you. We enjoyed every moment of our stay and would return again without hesitation.

A magical place surrounded by stunning Tuscan scenery!

Il Canto del Sole is a magical place surrounded by stunning Tuscan scenery. We returned after 17 years, and loved our stay as much as the first time! The hosts, Laura and Luciano, are so friendly and caring. The breakfast buffets are delicious, filled with homemade savoury and sweet creations. Rooms are clean, comfortable and traditionally decorated.

An exquisite tuscan experience in a beautiful countryside location with lovely hosts and food! Having dinner onsite is m

Loved this property and the beautiful owners Luciano and Laura. The care and attention put into the property, rooms, food and guests is truly wonderful. We were recommended the property from friends who had stayed 15 years earlier and said it was some of the best food they had eaten. Fast forward today and I stayed with my wife and baby daughter and it’s still a phenomenal place. We had dinner both nights and it was gorgeous - both the food and the eating room. Three course meals with family recipes and traditional dishes. Couldn’t ask for a better countryside Tuscan experience. The room was large and spacious. Importantly for us there was a shared sitting room which we were able to use when our baby was asleep into the room. We were able to drive right up to the room which made packing and unpacking the car very easy. There was an onsite electric charger. Everything was extremely convenient.

Located in a beautiful Tuscan setting with comfortable rooms and very friendly service.

Il Canto del Sole is located on a magnificent property that looks out over the beautiful Tuscan countryside. It is also a large family-run farm and the owner-managers are very efficient, friendly and helpful. Laura is a talented and passionate chef who provides beautiful food and interesting insights into each recipe. She also provided us with valuable advice and directions regarding our next visits to Siena and other local areas. We honestly felt like we were being entertained and guided by family friends. The property is located within easy driving distance to the spectacular city of Siena. Our room was authentically designed and furnished, and it was impeccably clean and comfortable. The breakfasts were amazing and included freshly-baked sweet and savoury treats. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we were sad that we could not stay longer. We would highly recommend Il Canto del Sole as a wonderful place to stay.

we stayed here for 2 nights to join a wedding at the castello fabiano nearby. it was a perfect stay.

i really liked the property itself, everything was well thought of, quiate a family business but very professional I loved that they went out of their way, when i was asking for non pork food and they provided me with chicken and turkey alternatives. this is a great and kind initiative i will never forget :) also my pertner broke a porcelain bowl in the room and we offered to pay as it was an accident but the owners refused to accept any payment. We were very humbled.

Fell in love with this place

This is an amazing farm in the heart of Tuscany. But the incredible part is the owners and staff – Luciano, Laura and their team made us feel extremely comfortable during our stay. Their kindness and attention to the details creates such a hospitable atmosphere. Always smiling and ready to help if you’re looking for some recommendations. The food is amazing – fresh eggs from the farm, homemade pies, great coffee and everything else – during our 9 nights stay we had great breakfast every morning. Sometimes they make dinners too – delicious homemade italian dishes according to the family recipies. And after the breakfast you may return to your sparkling clean room. The location is amazing for staying with kids – there are horses, a donkey, chickens and a very friendly dogs. Luciano e Laura, grazie!

Crazy hosts ruined our weekend. There's a lot of nice places in Tuscany, just go somewhere else.

The place has a good location in the country side. Unfortunately it is ruined by the insanity and rudeness of the owners. They screamed at us and threatened us for no reasons. Don't let them ruin your vacation, just go somewhere else and stay safe.
