The location was perfect & the accommodations were very nice. All rooms are easily accessible & close to dining!!

Dennis United States of America

This hotel was located right on the Siena wall. View from the upper terrace was terrific and the walk up hill into the downtown was short. Breakfast was good, room was nice, service was attentive.

Scott United States of America

Staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel was in a great location. The best thing was the free parking. The bar on the seventh floor was a nice touch. Air conditioning in the room was a lifesaver after an extremely hot day.

Marco United States of America

Breakfast and location perfect! Very friendly hotel staff. Great ambiance and warm welcome.

Elizabeth United States of America

great location if visiting wineries and sights around Siena, but pretty close to city center. The restaurant at the hotel us very good. try the osso buco.

Miguel Puerto Rico

EVERYTHING was perfect. The room spacious, clean and with a view. The reception area was beautiful. The bar in the hotel was fantastic especially the bar man. Alessio at the front desk went above and beyond to help us getting travel plans, he is a merit to the establishment as well as all of the employees. Very pleasant and made you feel welcomed. This gem of a hotel is one of the best I have ever stayed at, the attention to details and making you feel special is rare these days. I cannot praise this hotel highly enough. I will only stay here again when I am in the area. a fantastic place to stay.

Venus United States of America

Location is very good walk distance from many attractions, restaurants…. Parking is a must in that location , so if you’re doing a road trip , there is a good option.

Roberto Mexico

it was a great hotel - clean, comfortable bed and room. lovely views from the roof top terrace overlooking the valley. The staff was excellent and the location perfect for walking around the old town in Siena. It also has free parking. Highly recommended this place.
