We stayed at Frances' Lodge for 5 nights as our home base to explore the Tuscan countryside. Franco and Franca were the warmest and most inviting guests - they made sure that every need was met. The breakfast in the morning was delicious and the perfect start to the day. Every morning Franco would ask us if we needed help... More

Our stay at the Frances Lodge was the highlight of our three weeks in Italy. Franca and Franco gave us a warm welcome the very first moment we arrived by taxi. We truly appreciated all the little gifts from the welcoming basket of fruit in our room to the parting gifts. During our five night stay, our family enjoyed many... More

We found this place through Rick Steves and stayed there for two nights. The place is beautifully decorated and it's very comfortable. It's just a few minutes drive from Siena so it's a nice alternative to staying within the city walls. The garden and the grounds are magnificent and the views of Siena and the hills are breath taking. Franco... More

We stayed 2 nights with Franca and Franco, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay, at this lodge just outside of Siena, with a lovely view of the city across the valley. The lodge (once upon a time the barn and limonaia for the family farm) is "elegant with touches of rustic," which befits the lodge and the heritage of this well-situated... More

I am copying my email to Frances at the conclusion of our visit. Think that says it all. Great place, great location. I would say it is best enjoyed with a car. WE used it as a base to explore Chianti and other hill towns. Here's my note: Just wanted to thank you and Franco for your wonderful hospitality on... More

We stayed 4 nights at Frances' Lodge in March 2013 as part of our European honeymoon adventure. It was definitely our favorite part of the 3 week trip and we only wish we would have planned to stay longer. Franco and Franca truly made our stay a delight. Breakfast was filling and a delicious start to the day. They were... More

We just completed a wonderful stay at the Frances' Lodge near Siena. The owners provide an incredible experience as they see to every detail with genuine enthusiasm and passion. Franco and Frances met us on our arrival, gave us a tour of the property and had us quickly settled in for our five night stay. They offer unlimited detail about... More

The hosts Franco and Franca are amazingly knowledgable of the region and can set up guided tours, wine tastings and pretty much anything else you would like to do in Tuscany. All of their recommendations were spot on and Franco can direct you to your destination with such precision, you'd think you we're from the area! We rented a car... More

We had been travelling around Europe in a relatively budget 2-3 star hotels decided to splurge when we got to Siena. And it was well worth it! We originally wanted the white room but was unfortunately booked out and chose the yellow room instead. The room was cute and very clean. There was 2 big shower heads side by side... More
