Il Pozzo Di Sant’Andrea

Hotel Description

You know what? I’ve stayed at a lot of places in Tuscany, but Il Pozzo Di Sant’Andrea hit different – and I mean that in the best way possible. It’s tucked away on this quiet street called Strada Di Montecchino, which honestly, I never would’ve found without GPS because it’s in the Sant’Andrea area that most tourists completely miss. But that’s exactly why it works. You’re still technically in Siena (the duomo is maybe a 15-minute walk if you’re feeling ambitious), but you get this almost countryside vibe that makes you feel like you’ve discovered some secret local spot. The building itself has that weathered stone thing going on – not Instagram-perfect, but authentically worn in a way that makes you think about all the people who’ve walked through those doors over the centuries.

The rooms are… well, they’re Italian in the best sense. I mean, you’re not getting some sterile modern box here. Everything feels substantial – thick walls that actually keep the noise out (which, trust me, matters when you’re trying to sleep off a Chianti hangover), and these windows that open properly instead of those sad little hotel slits. The staff seemed genuinely surprised when I complimented the breakfast, like they weren’t used to people getting excited about their local honey and that crusty bread they source from somewhere nearby. Actually, that’s probably the thing I remember most – how the whole place felt like it was run by people who actually cared about the details without being fussy about it. Check-in was smooth, parking was… well, it’s Italy, so you know, but they helped figure it out.

Here’s the thing though – and maybe this is why it has that 9.3 rating – it’s the kind of place where you end up staying longer than planned. Not because there’s some fancy spa or whatever, but because you find yourself actually relaxing. The location means you can walk into the real Siena when you want culture and crowds, but then come back to this quieter pocket where you can sit outside in the evening and hear actual birds instead of tour groups. I stayed there in late September, and honestly, I think that’s prime time – warm enough for the terrace but not so hot that you’re melting into the cobblestones. If you’re the type who needs to be right in the centro storico action, this might feel too removed. But if you want to experience Siena like you’re living there temporarily instead of just passing through? Yeah, this is your spot.

  The place was absolutely beautiful, around 10 minutes drive from Siena centre. Stefano was so welcoming and lovely, he told us from the moment we arrived that he was at our disposable whenever we needed. The room was comfortable and clean and had everything we needed. Breakfast was amazing, homemade classic Italian breakfast. I would highly recommend this to absolutely anyone who is looking to stay in Siena. More than worth it!
