Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this medieval castle hotel was a delight. The rooms are spacious, boasting a magnificent view of historical Siena from the 3rd floor. The ambiance is perfect for those who appreciate classic old-style charm with panoramic views. However, some noise from the busy surrounding area can be a slight downside.

The service is top-notch, a rare blend of kindness and professionalism. The location is superb, ideal for exploring Siena and as a base for adventures in Tuscany. The dining experience is delicious but might not suit all tastes. Overall, a great value for a historical stay in a 17th-century palace.

The hotel room faced a noisy street but offered a cool and dark atmosphere for sleeping with modern facilities.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although spacious and beautiful, could use some updates due to their outdated interior. The service, particularly from Gianpaolo & Martina, was incredibly helpful and friendly, though there were instances where it felt a bit lacking. The location was superb with a stunning view from the top floor, but the busy atmosphere made it a little noisy at night. The dining experience was a bit hit or miss, ranging from top-notch to slightly disorganized. Overall, the hotel offered a comfortable stay with room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The room I had on the first night was beautiful, with a large balcony offering a gorgeous view of the cathedral. The location of the hotel is superb, and the staff is incredibly friendly. The mattress was excellent and provided a much-needed retreat after a quirky Air BNB experience in Montepulciano the night before.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great and not-so-great experiences. The rooms were absolutely huge and had everything I could ever need like an espresso machine, a variety of pillows, room service, TV, and even a wireless phone with internet. However, the available space for guests to iron their own clothes was quite small.
