The Tuscany / Siena Province region


The Castle of Grotti is located 12km south of Siena in the Crete Senesi. The castle is a perfect base to explore southern Tuscany. It gives easy access to the most popular destinations in Tuscany, such as Siena, the Chianti, San Gimignano, the Val d'Orcia, Montalcino, San Quirico d'Orcia, Pienza, Montepulciano and Cortona.
It is perfect to visit the Maremma area as well and to enjoy the natural hot springs in Petriolo.

Guestbook for La Guardiola
My husband and I took 'the wrong road' and discovered this wonderful place to stay. This "podere" was built in the 18th century. The newly converted apartments are charming, comfortable queen size bed, beautiful and functional antique furniture, clean and functional bathroom and kitchen. The ceilings are very high. It is on a picturesque hillside, overlooking miles and miles of Tuscan beauty. There is a small restaurant 5 minutes away by foot.
The owners are wonderful and helpful. The price is very reasonable. This is a great getaway place, and it's pin-drop quiet. There are beautiful gardens outside. You can go mingle with the tourists all day, then come back to complete serenity and comfort at night.
