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

We don't have much to add to the previous reviews. We too LOVED the setting, the old world farmhouse, the food and especially the hosts, Frances and Franco. They offered recommendations for our daytrips to the local villages, complete with map and hand-written notes. They booked a winery tour for several of the guests at a place that was almost... More

Stayed with Franco and Frances for 6 days on their farm. Loved it. With a breathtaking Tuscan view back to Siena along with rolling hills of olive trees and family farms, it is a very quaint, working Italian farm (Saffron, honey, fruit, olives). Franco and Frances themselves make you feel so welcome and are so enthusiastic about describing things to... More

We loved our 3 nights' stay at the Frances' Lodge. Franco and Franca were so delightful - we felt like we were leaving family when we left. We rented a car from Florence and drove to Siena. In retrospect, and in sharing with another couple there, we should have taken the train from Florence to Siena and picked up the... More

We stayed here last week for 3 days, celebrating our silver wedding anniversary, and found it to be everything the reviews said about it! Delightful hosts who couldn't do enough to help, lovely clean room, fantastic views and good food. As we didn't have a car we were a little apprehensive about the distance into Siena but it was in...

We had stayed at Frances' Lodge one year ago on our trip to Italy. We felt that our stay had been too short to take full advantage of the lodging and the area so we returned for five nights this year. What a great decision!! Frances and Franco were the perfect hosts. The accomodations were spectacular. We took them up... More

Our stay at Frances Lodge was idyllic. Romantic in every sense of the word, our dream visit to Siena was realized with this perfect villa as our base for seven days. Breakfasts beyond belief, relaxing moments on the grounds, and a birthday dinner watching the twinkling lights of the city compete with the stars. Franco and Frances are delightful hosts,... More
