Palazzo a Merse: "Great B&B in Nature S/E of Siena" Top 5 Page for this destination Tuscany Hotel Tip by rubbersoul75

We stayed 3 nights at this B&B and were extremely pleased. Andrea & his family are great hosts and they provided us with helpful info on local sights & itineraries. Palazzo a Merse is a perfect option if you are looking for an apartment set up. We stayed in the large "Margherita", 2 bedrooms, living room with fireplace heater, and large kitchen. Breakfast was served in the families kitchen a few doors down.

If you are traveling with a car, the location is convienient for day-trips to Siena, San Galgano, Montalcino, Pienza, Montepulciano, Monte Oliveto Maggiore, etc.

They produce thier own Olive Oil that you can sample/purchase.

Unique Qualities: Andrea is an avid bicyclist and is a strong proponent for biking in the area. He has worked on putting together wonderful maps and itineraries for biking in the surrounding Tuscan Countryside. You can rent bicycles here, and they also offers package tours for bike trips. Andrea knows the roads/trails very well and can also suggest an itinerary specific to your desires.
