An absolute little gem in Siena! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Sara and Carolina were fantastic from start to finish. They couldn’t do enough for us. They let us know exactly where to park, which was really helpful as Siena has traffic restrictions for visitors, helped us book a winery tour and gave us some great recommendations for sightseeing and restaurants. The communication was brilliant and they made everything so easy for us. The hotel itself is lovely, in a perfect location, beautifully restored and...

We received great instructions from Amina on how to access the room which were easy to follow.
If arriving in the day, the ground floor is where a lovely flower shop is, then up a lift. There are then 9 easy steps down to where the room is located.
This was our 4th stop on our trip and by far the best room. Although in the centre of everything, the room is super quiet, modern, with a lovely-sized bathroom & powerful shower and great WiFi.
We would highly recommend and will definitely return...

Excellently reception, very curteous and relaxing. Amazing position high up on the hill in medieval Siena. Fabulous but quirky room, new & lovely features. Good breakfast, nice shaded terrace, if weather nice could have an al fresco glass. Lots of tours organised as well.

This must be the nicest hotel in Siena. I’ve been fortunate enough to live here and stay at several hotels and Airbnbs here, and this far outweighs any of them, including the Grand Hotel Continental. You may think I’m easily pleased but I’m not, I’m very fussy but I honestly can’t fault this gorgeous little hotel!

We stayed in 8 different hotels while touring around Tuscany and this was far and away the best in every way. We were given very clear directions in advance of our stay and had no difficulty driving into Siena and finding the hotel. The building is lovely, sensitively modernised and beautifully kept. Our room was perfectly clean and well appointed. There is a terrace with a wonderful view of the duomo, an honesty bar and an excellent choice at breakfast. The staff are exceptionally welcoming,...

Fantastic location just off the main Piazza del Campo and you can walk from one side of the city to the other in no more than 20-25 minutes. Plenty of food stores selling excellent Tuscan produce and many good cheap restaurants. Sightseeing is fantastic and you have many tours that can be booked for day trips. City is very accessible from Florence and Pisa Airport by bus or train. Staff very kind and did everything they could to make our stay so enjoyable. Host Alberto gave lots of...

While Siena itself is a historic gem in Tuscany, renowned for its medieval architecture and vibrant culture, it lacks direct access to a beach. However, just a short drive away, you can explore the stunning beaches of the Tuscan coast, such as those found in San Gimignano or the picturesque village of Castiglione della Pescaia. Here, families can enjoy sandy shores perfect for building sandcastles or indulging in water sports like paddleboarding and windsurfing. After a sun-soaked day, unwind with a gelato while strolling along the promenade, where vibrant cafés offer local seafood delicacies. For a truly memorable experience, consider staying in a coastal hotel that not only provides luxury amenities but also offers easy access to these beautiful beaches, ensuring both relaxation and adventure for the whole family. The tranquil atmosphere combined with attentive guest service will make you feel pampered, allowing you to enjoy the best of both worlds—immersing in Siena's rich culture by day and savouring the coastal charm by evening.
