Rooms at this friendly and efficiently run hotel have old-fashioned but pleasant furnishings and plenty of amenities, but vary greatly in size. Opt for a deluxe or executive type, as these are spacious and have wonderful views of cityscapes meeting the fields. The Athena has an in-house restaurant and a summer-only terrace bar overlooking the Tuscan hills. Rates include parking.
