Il Battistero Siena, for a warm welcome
Boutique Hotel, Budget Hotel, Independent Hotel

An unbeatable location? Tick. Boutique accommodation? Tick. A friendly yet sophisticated atmosphere? Tick. Positioned on Piazza San Giovanni, Il Battistero Siena is a family-run guesthouse that blends history and modernity. Outside, you’re welcomed by a grand palazzo facade, while inside centuries-old plaster walls and whitewashed ceiling beams add to the character. Accommodation is smart with wood floors and classic furniture. Families can opt for a two-bedroom suite, and you can even sleep in a medieval tower.
Relais degli Angeli, for Tuscan elegance
Independent Hotel

Expect ceiling frescoes, chandeliers and antique furniture at this historic city centre residence. The seven rooms are spread over two floors, each named after a precious stone. The diamond suite is the most luxurious, with three large rooms including a lounge, marble bathroom with a hydromassage tub and private terrace. Eat a breakfast of warm pastries, freshly cooked eggs and mozzarella in the breakfast room or on the sun terrace.
Palazzo di Valli, for a rural retreat
Independent Hotel

Hotel Palazzetto Rosso, for wine lovers
Independent Hotel

There’s a dark and edgy feel to this boutique hotel, housed inside a brick building dating back to the Middle Ages. Outside, wrought-iron gates adorn the facade, while inside are original arches, decorative paintings and vaulted ceilings. A low-lit brick staircase leads to the guest rooms, which feel comparatively modern – one of the suites has a bathroom that sits in a glass cube. Don’t miss regional wine tasting in the atmospheric cellar.
