“This place is a hidden gem in the Tuscan countryside. Sisters Gabriella & Simonetta warmly embrace all guests with their effortless hospitality and achingly chic design aesthetic. You really have to experience La Saracina to understand its charms - you won't be disappointed. We return again and again to what now feels like a home from home.”

“Wow what an absolute gem of a place! Simonetta and her sister Gabriella could not have been more welcoming and helpful in every way. The rooms were superbly decorated, the dining area overlooking the hills spectacular and the pool with the gardens stunning. Simonetta gave some wonderful suggestions for dinner where we had some of the best meals we’ve had in Tuscany. I couldn’t recommend this beautiful accommodation more highly.”

“A true gem in the heart of Tuscany! Staying at this boutique hotel was nothing short of magical. From the moment you arrive, you can feel the warmth and soul of the place—it’s not just a hotel, it’s a labor of love. Every corner is thoughtfully designed, with incredible attention to detail that makes you feel both at home and completely spoiled. The rooms are beautifully curated, blending Tuscan charm with subtle elegance, and every element—from the linens to the lighting—has clearly been chosen with care. The garden, the scents, the soft music, the breakfast… everything speaks of someone who genuinely loves what they do and wants guests to feel special. What truly sets it apart is the atmosphere: calm, intimate, and full of character. You’re not just staying somewhere—you’re being welcomed into a space that’s been nurtured with heart. I can’t recommend it enough. A place to return to, again and again.”
