Villa Elda Boutique Hotel

“A romantic boutique hotel”

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this little hotel. On our last day, when it was time to leave I wanted so much to absolutely refuse. We had such a wonderful time here.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this little hotel. On our last day, when it was time to leave I wanted so much to absolutely refuse. We had such a wonderful time here. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and always a joy. We would take a bottle of wine up to the roof each evening to enjoy the stunning views and be thankful for that day's adventures. The room was gorgeous, spacious and had an incredible view of the doumo in Siena. We would leave the windows open to listen to the town as it slowly woke up each morning. We so loved staying here. Siena is a small town with much to do in and around it. This hotel alone would bring us back.

“Beautiful old world hotel with great service and accommodations”

The hotel is an old mansion converted to a hotel and located just outside the old town.

The hotel is an old mansion converted to a hotel and located just outside the old town. The location meant a 10 minute walk to get into the old town, but there were a lot of advantages being outside the old town, including the lovely accommodations (our room had a nice view of the old town on the hill) and relatively easy to reach the hotel or, as in our case, drive in and out as we toured other towns in the area. We had one of their deluxe rooms with balcony which was quite large with a separate entry room (although I saw some of the smaller rooms that looked like a postage stamp so be careful with choosing that for the price). It also had a small balcony you could step out on with the view of the town as I mentioned. The ceilings in our room where huge..must have been 15-20 feet high. Marble everywhere. The bathroom was reasonably large other than the shower..which as in many other converted hotels is like 2 feet by 2 feet. Not a lot of room for a bigger guy like me to move around…let alone bend over to pickup the soap, so keep that in mind. Bed was comfortable and the room had a nice desk with plugs available..as did each nightstand. They also have a nice garden, which I gather you can have breakfast in..except we had a bit of rain and it was a bit chilly in the morning so they served breakfast inside. The hotel website photos are indicative of the room we had and the hotel overall. We had reserved parking in advance..which was a good idea as they really only have one parking space. Breakfast buffet had a great selection of pastries, cakes, cheese, meat etc…just no hot food. Service..from the front desk staff to housekeeping..were all friendly, helpful and provided excellent service. Overall, I cannot think of any better hotel to choose when staying in Siena

“My daughter and I stayed for 4 nights in late October and were very satisfied.”

The staff spoke English and were very helpful and friendly. The daily breakfast was included and yummy (fresh pastries, hard boiled eggs, ham and cheese, toast, juice and coffee options)!

The staff spoke English and were very helpful and friendly. The daily breakfast was included and yummy (fresh pastries, hard boiled eggs, ham and cheese, toast, juice and coffee options)! The superior room we booked was clean and quite spacious and had a stunning view of the Cathedral. The shower was tiny but functional and plenty of hot water. The location was amazing and within easy walking distance to everything and they have a rooftop where you can sit and watch the sunrise/sunset. The view from our room window was amazing. I would recommend to others.

“Good, but….”

I’m conflicted on my opinion for this property so I’ll give the good and bad. The location and proximity to Siena is very good. It’s about a 20 minute walk into town through a very upscale neighborhood. The room was ample size and the breakfasts were adequate as was the service. However, the show... more

I’m conflicted on my opinion for this property so I’ll give the good and bad. The location and proximity to Siena is very good. It’s about a 20 minute walk into town through a very upscale neighborhood. The room was ample size and the breakfasts were adequate as was the service. However, the shower was so small that you could barely turn around, and our room was up three flights of stairs making lugging our luggage up very difficult (no elevator or porters). I doubt I would select this property for our next Siena visit.
