La Canonica di San Michele

We'd never been to a B&B before, and after this experience, I'm not sure any other B&B can now live up to my lofty expectations. The stay was amazing, from the location to the facilities to the food and most importantly, the hosts! La Canonica di San Michele is a gem tucked away in a (very) small village atop a hill in the Tuscan countryside, so it feels remote yet it is only about 10-15 minutes away from medieval Siena. The inn was well-aportioned with comfortable and homey amenities that truly made one feel as if they were a guest in a friend's home. The grounds feature great views of the surrounding countryside and a small church dating from the 1300s attached to the inn! Breakfast was always an impressively expansive spread with homemade cake, custom omelettes, espresso, cappuccino, fresh fruit, etc. We had to leave very early (6:15 AM) on the last day, but rest assured - breakfast was ready and waiting. We also ate dinner here one night, which definitely exceeded our expectations. It felt less like a restaurant and more like being in someone's dining room - antipasto, pasta, meat, dessert, wine, everything. All made to order by Roberto. Which leads me to my last point - the hosts Roberto and Stephanie are amazing. They are super friendly and welcoming and we truly felt like guests in their home. Roberto even provided us with a great itinerary for our lone day of sightseeing. Can't recommend enough and will be back if we ever visit Tuscany again!

Staying at La Canonica with Robert and Stefania and Jessica was a quintessential Tuscan countryside experience! About a 15 min drive from Siena, it is tucked away among the hills in a national park. The house is large and gracious, but has a cozy, homey feel. Our room was wonderful, set on a corner with French windows opening on two sides, looking out on the beautiful Tuscan countryside. We enjoyed the sitting area with arm chairs and a table with coffeemaker and snacks to relax and read. We loved the authentic historical feel and totally real Italian culture and hospitality. Roberto and Stefania were warmly welcoming and very happy to look after our every need and desire! They even went to the neighboring dairy farmer and picked up a wheel of the delicious pecorino cheese that they were serving at breakfast! Their breakfasts were the best, with a variety of Italian meats and cheeses, fresh omelets to order and bottomless cups of wonderful Italian coffee every morning! In three weeks in Italy La Canonica was our favorite stay.

Beautiful property, amazing food and wonderful hosts. The property dates back to the 1200’s and it depicted everything that Tuscany is. We never wanted to leave. Roberto, Stephanie and staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was the most enjoyable experience.

Roberto and Stefania were the best hosts anyone can ask for. From the minute we got there, until we left the service was absolutely wonderful. We only stayed two nights and wished we would have stayed longer, as we were treated like family. It was a nice change of pace to get to relax from all the city touring we did in Venice, Florence and Rome. Roberto’s place is only an hour drive from Florence and a short distance to Siena and wineries for day trips. We also enjoyed their two dogs. All their food is homemade and is delicious. The breakfast is a nice touch and to be able sit outside with all the awesome views was amazing. We can’t thank Roberto and Stefania enough for their hospitality, we were sad we had to say goodbye.

Stephania and Roberto are special in a part of Tuscan paradise. If you want to get deep into Tuscany, with Tuscan hosts, in a beautiful home and explore the medieval towns, this is the place. Make sure your GPS is working, it’s not the easiest to find the first time. Roberto has great taste in Tuscan wines, and they are both great chefs and great people. Molto Buono!!
