Franco & Frances are lovely hosts who attend to your every need. Both are very accomodating and always ready with recommendations for dining and sites to see. Franco's hand-drawn map of our route touring Tuscan hilltop towns was amazing and afforded us the opportunity to get a great feel for the region. Breakfast on the patio and sipping wine at... More

While on our honeymoon, we were originally booked to stay at another bed and breakfast close to Frances' Lodge. However, due to a scheduling conflict, the original bed and breakfast host booked us to stay at Frances' Lodge instead at the last minute. For this reason, we weren't sure what to expect, but we were certainly pleasantly surprised! We arrived... More

The Frances Lodge is a great place to stay if visiting Tuscany. Frances and Franco are the best of hosts and everything was truly beautiful. They sent us to Da Vina in Siena for dinner and it was truly one of the best meals of our lives. Franco made sure are driving tour of the various hilltop towns was uncomplicated... More

Frances Lodge itself is gorgeous with equally beautiful views of Siena from the grounds. We stayed in the yellow room which was very comfortable and very clean. The bathroom had an 8 foot by 8 foot shower for 2. The best part of Frances Lodge is Franco and Franca. They are a great team working together to give us mapped... More

Frances' Lodge was a traveler's best friend. Frances and Franco greeted us when we arrived at 7:30pm, helped us to our lovely room - the Rose Room - and made reservations at a local restaurant for us and called a cab. The next three days there were so delightful. I really would have loved to stayed longer. A great hot... More

Doesn't get much better than what Franca and Franco created this close to Siena. To add to the other comments: They are also the best trip advisors and Franco's restaurant tipps were exceptionally great as well! Thanks so much. Made for a great start of two weeks in Siena! More

If you have some sort of transportation (car, bicycle, anything) for the few km trip to town, Frances Lodge must be the premier spot to stay during your visit to Siena. Browse their website and you can see all the various amenities they provide, including their wonderful view of the Siena skyline. The arrangements are well described on their site... More

We've always worked to find special and unique places to stay during our annual trips to Europe, and Frances' Lodge is among the best we've ever found. Siena is our favorite spot in Italy, and this place is one reason for that. Their farm is just outside Siena, and we enjoyed looking across the hills to see the city walls... More

We spend 3 nights at Frances Lodge. Franco and Franca and doggies made us so very welcome. Our room had a small private outside seating area with view of Siena. Marvellous breakfast outside in the garden. Appreciated the assistance with planning and the use of the cell phone for taxi's etc. Great swimming pool. Spent every afternoon soaking up the... More

Frances and Franco were the best. Welcoming and helpful from the first moment to the last. Each morning after breakfast - which was great - they would sit down with me and map out an itinerary complete with maps and detailed directions. Each itinerary was clear and I never got lost. They also helped me to rent a car, which... More
