Hotel Castello di Leonina, Asciano, Siena

Hotel Castello di Leonina, Asciano - in the Siena province of Italy's Tuscany region, this Asciano hotel could scarcely have a more beautiful setting, but it just gets better. The Castello di Leonina is just that, an authentic thirteenth century castle, covering a full 1100 square metres, and beautifully and sympathetically restored to its old glory. For centuries this massive building defended Asciano against the incursions of the armies of Florence and Siena. Today its job is to ensure that every visitor has a truly remarkable and memorable sojourn in Tuscany.

This Asciano hotel is exclusive accommodation, quite unique. The bedrooms have bathrooms, air conditioning, telephone, TV and safe. The hotel meanwhile offers WiFi internet access free to guests, an outdoor swimming pool, jacuzzi, massage and Turkish/steam baths. The setting is lovely, the views are amazing and the standards of comfort exceptional.

And there is so much to see when you venture through the massive gates of your Asciano hotel. The A1 motorway is very nearby, and you are just ten minutes away from Siena, one of Italy's most fascinating medieval cities. The home to the famous Palio, its maze like streets wind down in concentric circles to the central 'square', the scallop shell shaped Campo. But don't overlook the little hill town of Asciano itself, sitting 656ft above the Crete Senesi. There are terrific views to the valley below, and sights in the town include the Museo d'Arte Sacra, the the Museo Etrusco and the Museo Cassioli. This Asciano hotel puts both city and countryside on your doorstep.
