Thomas
The breakfast was really good with a nice variety of food and drinks. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The location was also convenient for exploring the surrounding area.
The staff was unfriendly and unhelpful. The hotel had poor signage, making it hard to find.

The hotel is family run and the owners, Elio and Stefania, were both delightfully friendly and went out of their way to make our stay most enjoyable.
I would have liked to have the use of a lounge. There is a lovely outside area with the most beautiful views which would be fantastic in the warm weather but in November it would have been nice to have the use of a sitting room to maybe go and read or have a drink on our return from a day out rather than having to sit in your bedroom or the breakfast room.

Elio and Stefania were the perfect hosts, the location was stunning and the our whole trip was one of the best we have experienced. It is a quaint off the beaten path B & B surrounded by vineyards and a lush landscape. A local restaurant served the best Italian food-lazagna- delish but their homemade olive oit out of this world. Elio and Stephia went well beyond their duties and treated us as family. I am truly thankful for their hospitality. My daughter and I can honestly say our time at Hotel Vecchio Asilo contributed to us having a trip of a lifetime. Ciao!!!!
Had difficulty getting online at times. But you shouldn't be on the computer anyway when you are on vacation :).

I had the most amazing stay at this Tuscan hotel. The rooms were spacious, quiet, and had incredible views of the beautiful hills. The location of the hotel was perfect, right in the center of the old town and in the heart of Tuscany. It was so convenient for exploring the surrounding wineries and attractions. The hotel provided free parking, making it easy for me to get around. The breakfast at the hotel was delicious and varied, with options like hard-boiled eggs, homemade baked goods, fresh fruit, yogurt, and made-to-order cappuccinos. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating, making me feel right at home. Couldn't ask for a better experience!
Couldn't find any faults at all.

Everything that has been written about this hotel is true. It is fantastic. Just be aware that you will need to take time to eat the five courses Elio serves you for breakfast. Lovely local produce and Stefania's home baking. You do need a car to stay here.
