This place was a dream. Every single inch of the place and the room was out of a painting. Almost surreal. The breakfast room was absolutely adorable and if you order breakfast to the room in comes in a wicker basket. So lovely. You MUST also take the cooking class with Paula. She is clearly very knowledgeable and taught us how to make 2 types pasta from scratch!! Plus secondo and tiramissu! It was the highlight of our stay as we socialized with other guests as we ate our amazing home cooking dinner.

Absolutely magical place to stay. The views are breathtaking, the atmosphere is peaceful, and every detail feels like it came straight out of a Tuscan dream. We felt so welcomed and cared for—it was the perfect mix of charm, comfort, and beauty. Already dreaming about coming back.

We had an absolutely phenomenal experience at Pieve Marsina & Borgo Argenina. As soon as we set foot on the property we realized we should have spent our entire trip there. It’s difficult to properly articulate the serene beauty of the lovingly restored buildings and meticulously maintained surrounding property. They obviously work very hard to keep it as manicured and beautiful as it is. The pool area is wonderful and very relaxing. The private jacuzzi room is a must-do for couples. Tons of different areas around the property to sit and relax privately with a bottle of wine and a meat and cheese board. Highly recommend visiting the very modern co-op grocery store (ample free parking) in Siena to stock up on grocery supplies. We stayed in the Maria suite, it was charming and beautiful as described with a very comfortable and roomy bed. Breakfast is a highlight of this place. Freshly prepared varieties of both sweet and savoury items, including made-to-order eggs and crepes. The standout experience for us was the cooking class, which was well worth the cost.
