We loved this location. When we walked out of our room we couldn't believe the view from the garden and our front door. The location was not far from the main street from Duomo to the Central Piazza (le Torre). We had a little trouble with the hot water and the toilet. But we worked with it. I liked the woman whose house it was (Silvia). She spoke very good English, and she was very nice and she picked us up at the Train station - a very big plus. We found a fabulous restaurant close by I Meistri - loved Umberto and his family, some of the best food i've EVER tasted.

The room was clean and spacious. It was kind of a hassle to get the key. Also, I thought that the rooms were closer to the center of the old city. Although we weren't far and were within the walls, I thought we'd be closer to the main sights.

The room smelt, no soap was provided, there were no cups to even drink tap water from in one of the rooms. Disappointing.

Great location - within the city walls so walkable distance to all central attractions. Wonderful quiet terrace to relax before adventuring. Room was good, though quite basic and lots of ants (?). Also, despite being called a B&B, breakfast did not eventuate on any of the days we were there. This is not a massive inconvenience, so long as you are aware of it. And they did bring us a bottle of wine and cheeses unexpectedly one night when we were on the terrace. Nice hosts. While the room was not anything to write home about, it is really hard to beat the location. Would defintiely stay here again.

I very much enjoyed my stay at Le Camerine de Silvia. The room was spacious, bright and clean and the outdoor garden was very pleasant with a great view of the Tuscan countryside. The surroundings very very convenient with a small supermarket and cafe/bar/restaurant just around the corner. Also, compared to some other cities in the area (Florence, Lucca, etc), I very much appreciated the peace and quiet ! However, whilst the refrigerator and microwave in the room were a real plus, a few extra utensils would have been appreciated. The self service breakfast of juice, yoghurt, milk, biscottes/croissants, butter, jam, etc was very good but it would have been nice to have glasses for the juice, bowls and perhaps a coffee maker (bodum or the like). Lastly, for the price paid and relatively no services (no staff to guide/consult), I think that the cost of breakfast should be included. If not, than better equipped kitchen facilities to justify the price.

The bedroom was vey nice, in a very quiet area. From the terrace, we have a beautiful view on part of the old city. The bedroom decoration was also very nice. This is an ideal place to stay in in Siena!
