We've just spent two great days in Siena and Florence, and Aia Mattonata and its owners Elisabetta and Mario were a major reason for that. The place is awesome, ideal for spending a few tranquil days in an extremely beautiful landscape. In addition to all the positives that already have been said below, the two were extremely helpful when we... More

What a wonderful place to relax. This country retreat is only a few minutes from Siena but yet you feel like you are miles away from the hustle and bustle of tourists. Hosts could not have been nicer or more helpful. If we ever get back to Siena this would be our only choice but for a longer stay. Our... More

We were 4 long-time friends having a reunion vacation for 6 days, indulging in the magical escape that Tuscany could offer. Aia Mattonata is the most charming and authentic vacation resort one could dream of having with all the requirements of comfort provided with taste and elegance. Set in the beautiful and peaceful Tuscany countryside, away from the tourist clutter,... More

We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Aia Mattonata! The views of the city and Tuscan countryside from Aia Mattonata were breathtaking. The rooms, breakfast, the pool, and even their dog Runa were all a delight...but the true charm of this lovely villa should be credited to the owners Mario and Elisabetta. From the moment i booked our stay,... More

I am not sure what else we could have expected from our visit, it was nearly perfect. The owners, Mario and Elisabetta, were kind and gracious hosts. We wanted to stay just outside of Sienna to be able to access the city quickly while being able to relax in the Tuscan countryside. The rooms were beautifully appointed, the breakfast every... More

Hospitality beyond compare. After a road trip along the Chianti Trail, my husband and I spent 1night at this heavenly spot just outside Siena. Sipping chilled prosecco on the patio with an incredible vista of Siena was idyllic. Too bad we had made other plans and were only able to spend a night in a beautifully decorated room with all...

We had a wonderful 5 nights stay at Aia Mattonata in April 2013. It was the highlight of our trip from Paris to Rome. The hotel is the perfect spot for exploring the Tuscan countryside by car and is conveniently located 3 km from Siena in a quiet and beautiful location. The property is small and extremely charming and the... More

We stayed for four nights & it was wonderful. Beautiful location & accommodations. Mario is the master at helping make plans (itineraries, recommending restaurants). You really do need a car as it is a a good distance from town.

Of all the places we stayed in Italy, the one place we would happily have tarried was here. Two nights was not enough. The location is beautiful - to sit with a view of Siena as the sun goes down is wonderful. The hospitality offered was perfect and Mario and Elisabetta were so helpful with suggestions, taxis and even ringing... More
