San Giovanni is a calm town with wonderful gardens therein. The Locanda is a welcome addition in the area. I stayed there again recently and enjoyed my stay. Staff was welcoming and helpful. I recommend it highly and would return. A couple of things though - and bear in mind I am VERY particular about lodging - my shower could... More

We stayed in La Locanda for 5 nights, planned to spend half our vacation there and half in the north of Toscana. We could not leave the place. Charm, silence, views that attract every avenue to beauty you might have. In a place which is small enough to feel remote though still in a small viallge. The food and restaurant... More

We stayed at La Locanda del Castello from October 8th through the 11th. It is a lovely hotel, small with only 8 rooms, ideally situated in the Val d’Orcia for access to the Tuscan wine country. Daniela the manager was so helpful in the weeks leading up to our visit and when there she set us up for a productive... More

My wife and I stayed three nights in early May of 2012. San Giovanni d'Asso is a quiet village but close enough to Siena and other towns in the neighborhood so that you don't have to drive far to do lots of sightseeing. And it's a fun place to walk around on its own. The hotel has been renovated recently... More

My fiancee and I checked in to La Locanda del Castello at San Giovanni d'Asso in mid-July 2012. We immediately felt welcomed by the warm smile and charm of the staff, Daniella, who speaks great English. The hotel is located in a 13th century castle and thus there are no elevators; that said, it was a short 10-step climb to... More

Located in a 13th century castle, La Locanda del Castello, is next to the Museo di Tartufo, Italys first museum dedicated to the truffle. Like the museum La Locanda del Castello exerts an equally powerful effect on your senses.

The reception staff operate on a “casual” but very friendly basis so the waitress from the restaurant and the owner showed us our room - a decent size, so was the ensuite shower room. It was clean and the bed was comfortable, ample towels and ample hot water for the shower. Our room was in the main building, several centuries... More

My husband and I spent two nights at La Locanda del Castello. San Giovanni d’Asso is a very small hamlet, with very little commerce or attractions other than the surrounding countryside. It is however a very good base for exploring this part of Tuscany. Our room was fairly small but was fine for a short stay. We were shown great... More
