Room was extremely comfortable and beautifully appointed, the hotel is right in the heart of Siena, the staff were extremely helpful and the breakfast was great. The street it's on is a little noisy, though-- we heard late-night revelers even with the window closed.

Our driver had a difficult time finding the hotel, not because it's hidden, but because the roads are confusing and limited to traffic. Once we found it, we had a lovely stay. Our room was beautiful, we had a small balcony overlooking the rooftops of Siena. The hotel is in the middle of Siena and an easy walk to the... More

This hotel is a gem. A grand style hotel built from a palazzo from the 17th c.; fabulous location and great service. The rooms are beautiful, mine had frescoed ceiling and beautiful decor. I loved the whimsical art throughout the hotel which contrasted so nicely with the heavy antiques and palazzo style of construction. The staff were lovely and all... More

Old world with tasteful styling, very professional service and strategic location best describes this hotel. Rooms vary in size with classical and antique decor. Bathrooms are all modern and tasteful. Breakfast buffet unmemorable, especially the coffee. Valet parking a definite plus, since driving through this ancient city was an adventure.
