Hotel Certosa di Maggiano In Siena

Absolutely amazing! Will be back soon! The staff and the place is just top notch it cannot be better 🌸❤️🇮🇹

My family spent 5 days at Certosa this summer and it was our most favorite part of our trip to Italy. Every inch of the property is breathtaking. The staff are incredible and we’re so kind to my children ages 5 and 7. We hope to come back again next year!

The overall experience was amazing. Everyone here was very, very nice and helpful. They always consider everything for you. The food at the restaurant was amazing. The wine pairing was extraordinary. The amenity is great and the facility here just classic. I used the pool, the tennis court and the resting area. They prepared the water for my tennis coaching session.The hotel and the service was so extraordinary that the day here was the best memories in my whole travel in Italy. Hope that I would have the chance to come back again!

Beautiful place, unique atmosphere and excellent cousine. The staff is outstanding and helpful. Special thanks to Paula. I will recommend to all my friends.

Breathtaking and well-kept location, courteous and prepared staff. Varied menu and excellent food, we will definitely return!

All I can say is WOW! We planned a family vacation to Certosa and the whole staff took amazing care of all 10 of us. The service here is unmatched. Michelle helped plan every detail of our 5 days with such care and attention to detail. We were so impressed with the food, the restaurant and breakfast were phenomenal. We even cancelled a dinner out one night because we wanted to eat at the restaurant again. I’m still dreaming about one of their pasta dishes. If you’re planning a trip, I highly recommend staying here.

Just a super place with traditional food and excellent service.

Magical. Amazing building. Lovely rooms. Great staff. A perfect couple of days to start our Tuscany vacation. The breakfast was really special with the scent of the fireplace and a wonderful range of options. Shout out to the bartender Riccardo. He treated us so well. The hotel is set in the hills outside Siena and is a really nice walk in to town.

Within the walls of the Certosa di Maggiano, Blessed Pietro Petroni spent his life, which was studded with miraculous events, harsh discipline and exemplary obedience. Born in Siena in 1311, Pietro stood out from a young age for his dedication to others, dedicating himself to caring for the sick and lepers of the city. At the age of seventeen, against the will of his parents, he embraced the life of a hermit in the Certosa di Maggiano. During his monastic life, Pietro Petroni was the protagonist of numerous mystical visions and prodigious events that gave him the reputation of a miracle worker. His intercession, according to popular devotion, was believed to be capable of performing miracles, attracting crowds of faithful and increasing his celebrity. However, the fame and clamor that came from it contrasted with the severity and quiet of the Carthusian life, marked by silence and meditation. At the invitation of the Prior of the Certosa, Pietro Petroni, in an act of exemplary obedience, decided to renounce his thaumaturgical activities, so as not to disturb the harmony of the monastic community. The renunciation of miracles did not compromise the sanctity of Pietro Petroni, which manifested itself in a life of profound devotion and rigorous discipline. His fame, although deprived of the clamor of the miraculous, spread silently, fueling the veneration of the faithful. Affected by obesity, Pietro Petroni died prematurely in 1361. His nickname, "Petrone", derived from his disproportionate size, became almost a surname, sealing his memory as a champion of obedience, a virtue that, in the eyes of the faithful, took on a value equal, if not superior, to that of miracles. Hagiographic tradition tells that, fifteen days before his death, Pietro Petroni confided some prophecies to his brother Gioacchino Ciani, including the condemnation to hell of some personalities, including Boccaccio, if they did not change their conduct of life. Another legend tells that the monk cut off the index finger of his left hand to make himself unfit for the priesthood, considering himself unworthy of such an honor. Pietro Petroni is venerated as blessed by the Catholic Church and his liturgical memorial is May 8. The painter Daniele Crespi depicted him with scissors in his hand, a symbol of his act of self-harm, in the Certosa di Garegnano in Milan.

It's an incredible place: rustic and modern at the same time, extraordinary authenticity, an exceptional historic setting in a peaceful setting in the heart of postcard Tuscany... A hotel definitely full of charm but also excellent service and attention from the very attentive staff. I would have liked to spend more time there, I will definitely go back! In any case, I highly recommend!
