Borgo Grondaie

FAQ

How do I get to Borgo Grondaie?

What is the nearest train station?

We are located just one kilometer from Siena train station, but we recommend taking a taxi upon arrival to avoid carrying luggage uphill.

Do you have parking?

Yes, we have a private parking area reserved for hotel guests, free of charge.

Can you provide detailed directions to reach your property, since many guests say it can be tricky to find without help?

In addition to the directions provided on our ‘How to Reach Us’ page, we recommend keeping these three tips in mind:

  • Once you arrive in Siena, follow the signs for the train station.

  • Near the station, cross the metal-arched bridge — it will be on your right if you’re coming from the south, or on your left if you’re coming from the north.

  • Follow the road toward the Coop supermarket, as if heading to the rear parking area — at the top of the hill, you’ll find Borgo Grondaie.

What time are check-in and check-out?

Check-in is available from 2:00 PM.
Reception hours may vary depending on the season, so we recommend contacting us if you plan to arrive after 7:00 PM.
Guests arriving after closing time will find an envelope on the Reception door with their key and instructions to reach their room or apartment.

Check-out is by 11:00 AM.

Can I arrive before check-in time and leave my luggage with you?

Of course, you can arrive before the official check-in time.
If your room is ready, we’ll be happy to check you in early; if not, you can safely leave your luggage at our reception.
The same applies if you need or wish to leave after the check-out time: while the room must be vacated by 11:00 AM, you’re welcome to leave your bags at reception.

Rooms

Do you have non-smoking rooms/apartments?

According to Italian law, hotel rooms and apartments are considered private spaces, so guests may choose whether or not to smoke.

All our rooms are well-ventilated. We pay special attention to specific requests, and after the departure of a guest who has smoked, we thoroughly clean all curtains and upholstery.

How big are the rooms/apartments?

Room sizes are standard.
The size of the apartments varies depending on their layout.
On the “Book Now” page of our website, you’ll find the exact dimensions of the apartments available for the dates you select.

What is the difference between rooms and apartments?

The apartments and rooms are located within the same hotel complex.
Apartments are more spacious than rooms and feature a kitchenette.
The basic apartment includes two areas: a living room with a kitchenette and a bedroom.

Rooms include daily cleaning and breakfast in the price.
Apartments include only one weekly cleaning and linen change.
Guests staying in apartments can request daily cleaning and breakfast for a small additional fee.

How can apartment guests request breakfast and daily cleaning?

By adding a supplement of €10 per person per day for breakfast, and €20–30 per day for daily cleaning, depending on the size of the apartment.

Which accommodation is the most romantic?

It’s a very personal choice. We believe that every room and apartment is romantic, peaceful, and private in its own way.

Do you have rooms with a view or a balcony?

All our rooms overlook the gardens surrounding the property, not the historic center of the city.
We have 1 room and 3 apartments with a balcony, and 2 apartments with a private garden.

Can I request a specific room?

Of course you can! However, only by using our online booking system can you check the real-time availability of your preferred room or apartment and book it directly.

Are the rooms/apartments quiet?

Both the rooms and apartments are quiet, despite our proximity to the train station, which might suggest otherwise.

Is there a latest time by which we must return in the evening?

No. Each room and apartment has its own private entrance, so you can come and go at any time.

Can we request separate beds in the rooms/apartments?

Most of our rooms and apartments are equipped with two single beds joined together to form a double bed, except for a few apartments that have a double mattress.
If the apartment does not have a double mattress, please let us know your preference in advance.
