Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A four-star inside the walls in the quiet western part of Siena, about ten minutes' walk from Piazza del Campo, with a panoramic terrace over the countryside and parking, which is rare in the old town. Rooms are classic and comfortable. It suits drivers who want an easy base inside the walls. Dogs of any size stay free, and the hotel offers free room service at breakfast and dinner so you don't have to leave your dog.

Why it's in the collection

The lanes inside the walls lead down to Piazza del Campo in about ten minutes, and the Fortezza Medicea with the Giardini della Lizza, Siena's main green space for dog walks, is about 1.5 kilometres north.

Best suited for

Dogs of any size stay free, but they aren't in common areas and can't be left alone in the room.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
