La Locanda Di Cetona

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about La Locanda Di Cetona? It’s literally right there on Piazza Garibaldi – like, you walk out the front door and you’re in the heart of this medieval Tuscan town. I mean, most hotels claim to be “centrally located,” but this one actually delivers. The building itself has that weathered stone look that screams centuries of history, and honestly, stepping inside feels like walking into someone’s well-appointed Italian grandmother’s house (if your nonna had impeccable taste and a serious budget).

The rooms are what I’d call “thoughtfully renovated” – they kept all the character stuff like exposed beams and thick stone walls, but added modern touches that actually work. The beds are seriously comfortable, which isn’t always a given in these historic properties. What really got me was the attention to detail… like, the bathroom tiles looked hand-selected, and there’s this subtle lavender scent that drifts through the common areas. The staff knows their stuff too – they’ll point you toward the best morning coffee spot (hint: it’s not the touristy place on the corner) and can arrange vineyard visits without making you feel like you’re on some cookie-cutter tour.

Here’s the thing about Cetona that makes this place special – it’s not overrun with tour buses like some Tuscan towns. You can actually hear church bells in the morning instead of traffic, and the evening passeggiata still feels authentic. From La Locanda, you’re walking distance to everything that matters: the weekly market, those narrow medieval streets perfect for getting pleasantly lost, and some genuinely good restaurants where locals eat. The 9.5 rating makes sense when you experience it – it’s not trying to be a flashy resort, but rather a place where you can settle in and feel like you’re living in Tuscany for a few days instead of just passing through. Fair warning though: if you’re looking for a pool or gym, this isn’t your spot. But if you want to wake up to the sound of the town coming alive and fall asleep to actual silence, well… that’s worth way more than a fitness center.

  This hotel was wonderful. Our room was very spacious, beautifully decorated and extremely well equipped. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful both in the hotel and the cafe downstairs where breakfast was served.
