The good points: beautiful setting and buildings. Stylish and very clean, comfortable bedroom with top quality bedding. Less good: the dinner - the food was fine, and surroundings pleasant, but the service was too slow. Two and a half hours for a 3-course meal is excessive. And the glass of red wine was simply horrid, with a bitter aftertaste. So we decided against dinner in the hotel the second night. Breakfast costing €25 pp was buffet style and good/average quality. However neither coffee machine was functioning- (one of these simply needed water), but the only young woman on duty this Saturday didn’t get round to sorting this out so we had a very expensive breakfast without coffee. We felt service was lackluster in this expensive hotel. Parking is in a free public car park behind the hotel, and our room was in the annex of the hotel above the restaurant, so nice and quiet. But we were left to carry our cases up the stairs to our room with no lift. Compared to previous hotels we’ve stayed in on this trip, we felt Aux Ducs de Sienne does not give value for the cost.
The place is in town, close to the cloister, getting high marks for location. It is a 2* property so charm is not a word that comes to mind. It had no bottled water nor coffee making facilities. Staff was helpful. The rooms are on the first and second floor [2d and 3d for North Americans] but there is an elevator. Thee was a companion wing across the road. It was in a quiet area. The room size was fine. There was individual soap and a squeeze bottle in the shower for hair/body wash. My sleep was not good but I do not heavy duvets. The brekkie was on the main floor, costing c 10 euros. It was good The wifi was not password protected. It was annoying it had to be reset every time the computer was shut off. If you need more from a hotel there are other options in town. If you just need a room to tour some of the wineries, it is okay to fine.
Had a pleasant one night stay here. The parking is in the car park outside of the hotel but only a short walk to reception, you can actually pull into the grounds to unload your luggage and then go park your car. The building had a lot of character and the staff are nice. We had a huge room with a view of the vineyards so very quiet which was good as we slept with the window open as it was very hot, they did have air conditioning but we could not get it to work but to be honest we had been used to opening windows for the fresh air at most of the hotels whilst in France so was not a big problem. Got to say, for us the bed was extremely firm, really could do with a comfortable topper pad to sort this out. Nice meal in the restaurant or you could dine on the patio, rather large plates which seams to be the norm in this area, but limited menu choice.
