What guests mention

Summarised from this property's guest reviews by our supplier — not written by a guest.

Very friendly and helpful staffExcellent breakfast served to the terraceBeautiful views and convenient location for San Gimignano/VolterraLovely swimming pool with viewClean, well-kept rooms with private terracesPeaceful, relaxing settingNo on-site restaurant (inconvenient for evening)Air-conditioning in at least one room reported as not working/datedOccasional reports of biased restaurant recommendations (directing guests to owners' friends)
Cleanliness4.8
Multiple reviews explicitly mention rooms as very clean ('pulitissime') and daily housekeeping; overall cleanliness is repeatedly praised.
Service4.8
Owners and staff are repeatedly described as very welcoming, friendly and helpful; one minor criticism about being referred to owners' friends for restaurant tips slightly tempers an otherwise excellent service record.
Location4.9
Location repeatedly highlighted: peaceful hilltop with spectacular views, very convenient for San Gimignano, Volterra, and within driving distance of Florence and Siena.
Room Quality4.3
Rooms described as well maintained with private terraces and comfortable arrangements; however at least one review reports air-conditioning not working/dated, which lowers this score slightly.
Amenities4.8
Pool is repeatedly praised as 'perfect' and 'lovely' with great views; breakfast delivered to private terraces is a notable amenity. Lack of an on-site restaurant mentioned as a drawback.
Value for Money4.7
Not explicitly addressed in the reviews; assigned the target overall rating.
Food and Beverage4.8
Breakfast is consistently praised (quality, choice, and service to the terrace); however absence of a dinner restaurant on-site is noted by some guests.
Overall Experience4.7
Strongly positive overall (many 'would return' and '10/10' comments) with standout hospitality, views, pool and breakfast; minor negatives (AC issue, no restaurant, occasional biased recommendations) slightly reduce the perfect score.

Where this sits in Siena

At €153 a night, Antico Borgo Il Cardino is around the middle of what people pay in Siena, where stays run €74 to €261 a night. Siena is about 1 hr 16 min by road from Florence Peretola Airport. A medieval city that stopped growing and never lost its shape — the shell-shaped Campo, the striped duomo, streets that climb. Quieter than Florence and, for a few days, better company.
