Where to Stay in Siena – Best Hotels, B&Bs and Apartments in Siena for All Budgets

Based on my travel experience in Siena and extensive research into the city’s accommodation, I put together this guide to help you find the best hotel or apartment in Siena for the way you travel. I’ve included properties inside Siena’s historic walls as well as a few just outside the center that are still within walking distance of the main sights.

I’ve divided the guide into luxury hotels, boutique and mid-range hotels, budget hotels, B&Bs and guesthouses, and apartments in Siena, because the best place to stay depends on what matters to you. Some properties stand out for luxury, swimming pools and high-end facilities, while others are better suited to travelers looking for historic character, great views, free parking, a central location, family-friendly space or good value.

I did not select these properties simply by looking for the highest guest rating. I considered location, access to Siena’s main sights, room quality and type, cleanliness, breakfast, parking, accessibility, views, noise, amenities, staff and service, and overall value for money. I also compared recent guest feedback to identify recurring practical issues that may not be obvious from a property description, such as stairs, parking arrangements, differences between rooms, street noise and summer cooling. Some of the properties are places I’ve personally experienced, while others were selected through research and comparison, and I make that distinction where it matters.

One thing I recommend before booking is looking beyond the star rating and headline price. A basic 1-star hotel on an upper floor with no elevator or breakfast might look like the cheapest option, but some 3- and 4-star hotels in Siena offer special rates that bring them surprisingly close in price. Depending on your priorities, paying a little more can mean better facilities, more comfort and fewer practical compromises. So whether you’re looking for a luxury hotel in Siena, a hotel in the historic center, a budget-friendly stay, a B&B with character, an apartment for your family, or a hotel with parking, you’ll find options here for different budgets and travel styles.

Best Hotels in Siena: 14 Places to Stay for Every Budget

A Few Things to Know Before Booking a Hotel in Siena

• Staying inside the historic center
  • Best for: First-time visitors who want to walk to Piazza del Campo, the Duomo and Siena’s medieval streets.
  • Watch for: Stairs, narrow entrances, older buildings and limited parking.
  • Keep in mind: A hotel outside the center may be easier to access, while a historic guesthouse or apartment can offer a more atmospheric stay.
• Arriving by car
  • Don’t assume central means convenient parking. Siena’s historic center has restricted vehicle access.
  • Check before booking: Where you can park, how far the garage is from the hotel and whether you can briefly stop to unload luggage.
  • Best approach: A hotel with nearby garage access can be much more practical than one where you expect to park directly outside.
• Stairs and elevators
  • Older buildings often mean stairs. Some accommodations have no elevator or require several flights to reach the room.
  • Especially important with luggage: A property just a few minutes from Piazza del Campo can still involve a surprisingly steep climb.
  • Check the individual property details rather than assuming an elevator is available.
• Summer heat
  • If you’re visiting in July or August, check for A/C.
  • Some historic properties have no air conditioning, while others may have less consistent cooling than a modern hotel.
  • Pay extra attention to: Top-floor rooms, apartments and rooms in older buildings, which can become particularly warm during hot weather.

Best Luxury Hotels in Siena

Hotel Certosa di Maggiano

• Best for: Couples, honeymooners, families, and travelers looking for a peaceful luxury retreat near Siena
• Location: Tuscan countryside, about 1.2 miles from Piazza del Campo
• Why consider it: A beautifully restored former monastery with elegant accommodation, extensive grounds, a swimming pool, and on-site dining
• Things to know: This is a countryside retreat rather than a conventional city-center hotel, so getting into central Siena requires walking, the hotel’s shuttle, or a car.

Hotel Certosa di Maggiano offers a completely different kind of Siena stay from the properties inside the medieval center. The former monastery dates to 1314 and sits among olive groves, vineyards, gardens and historic buildings, creating an experience that feels more like a private Tuscan retreat than a city hotel.

The setting is the main reason to choose it. The grounds provide space to slow down between sightseeing, with an outdoor swimming pool, tennis court and landscaped areas for relaxing. Activities including yoga, Pilates, Qi Gong, meditation and personal training can also be arranged. This is a property where the accommodation itself can be part of the holiday rather than simply a place to sleep.

Inside, the former monastic cells have been turned into elegant rooms and suites, while the interiors retain a strong historic identity. The lounges were designed by architect Renzo Mongiardino, and the combination of original character and high-end comforts gives the hotel a very different atmosphere from a contemporary five-star property.

Dining fits naturally into that setting. Breakfast is served in a historic kitchen or outdoors beneath the pergola, while the on-site restaurant makes it possible to have dinner without returning to Siena after a full day of sightseeing. The property’s wine offering also suits travelers who want to slow down and enjoy the Tuscan setting.

The compromise is distance. Piazza del Campo is around 1.2 miles away, so this is not the place to book if your main goal is to step outside and immediately be surrounded by Siena’s busiest medieval streets. Walking, the hotel shuttle or a car solves the problem, but the experience is fundamentally different from sleeping inside the historic center.

The outdoor swimming pool is not heated, which can make it less appealing outside the warmest part of the year.

For travelers who want luxury, peace, historic architecture and a genuine Tuscan retreat, Hotel Certosa di Maggiano offers something that a conventional city hotel cannot easily reproduce. Choose it for the setting and the experience, not simply for proximity to the sights.

Grand Hotel Continental Siena

• Best for: Travelers who want five-star service and historic character in the heart of Siena
• Location: Historic center, within walking distance of the city’s main sights
• Why consider it: A 16th-century palazzo with Renaissance interiors, central access, dining and full-service five-star facilities
• Things to know: Rooms vary by category, some street-facing rooms can be noisy, and there is no swimming pool

Grand Hotel Continental Siena – Starhotels Collezione is the more traditional luxury-city choice in this guide. Rather than being surrounded by countryside, it puts you directly inside Siena’s historic center, making the city’s main sights, restaurants and pedestrian streets easy to explore on foot.

The hotel occupies a 16th-century palazzo, and the building remains one of its strongest features. Frescoes, antiques, artwork and decorated public spaces give it a formal Renaissance character that is difficult to reproduce in a newer luxury property.

That setting is especially appealing to travelers who want their accommodation to feel connected to the history of Siena. The interiors are ornate rather than minimalist, so the hotel will appeal most to people who enjoy historic architecture and traditional luxury.

The hotel also offers the practical services expected from a five-star city property, including valet parking assistance, breakfast, dining and access to its wine cellar for tastings and private events. Some rooms overlook Siena’s rooftops or offer views toward the Duomo, although the outlook depends on the category.

Room selection matters more here than the five-star label might suggest. Accommodation varies in size and condition, with some rooms described as more dated or smaller than expected for this category. Street-facing rooms can also pick up noise from the surrounding pedestrian streets.

There is no swimming pool, and the hotel is much more about architecture, dining and central sightseeing than resort-style leisure. Breakfast has received plenty of positive feedback but has also attracted occasional criticism from travelers expecting more at this price level.

Overall, Grand Hotel Continental makes the most sense when location and historic character matter as much as luxury facilities. It gives you the rare combination of a five-star hotel and a genuinely historic Siena setting, but choosing the right room is important.

Best Boutique and Mid-Range Hotels in Siena

Residenza d’Epoca Palazzo Borghesi

• Best for: Couples and travelers who value historic architecture, central location and views
• Location: Historic center, a few steps from Piazza del Duomo and within walking distance of Piazza del Campo
• Why consider it: Frescoed rooms, original architectural details, a historic residence and an attractive terrace
• Things to know: Parking requires planning and views vary between rooms

Residenza d’Epoca Palazzo Borghesi is less like a conventional hotel and more like staying inside a carefully preserved historic residence. Occupying the second floor of a palazzo associated with the Borghesi family, it is only a few steps from Piazza del Duomo and close enough to Piazza del Campo to make most sightseeing possible on foot.

The building itself provides the atmosphere. Rooms retain 19th-century frescoes, historic floors and original architectural details, while air conditioning, Wi-Fi, private bathrooms, minibars and flat-screen TVs provide the modern basics needed for a comfortable stay.

Its elevated position also gives the property an advantage when it comes to views. The terrace offers an attractive perspective across Siena’s rooftops, while selected rooms have their own outlooks over the city. However, not every accommodation has the same view, so the individual room description matters if scenery is part of your reason for booking.

Breakfast is served within the residence rather than in a large conventional dining room. Fresh cheeses, local cold cuts, pastries and coffee form part of the offering, and rooms with private outdoor space can provide the option of a more memorable breakfast setting.

The property’s small scale also shapes the service. Assistance with restaurants, taxis, parking and arrival is part of the experience, making it feel more personal than a larger hotel.

Parking is the main practical issue. The property does not provide the simplicity of dedicated on-site parking, so travelers arriving by car should organize the arrangement before reaching the historic center.

For travelers who want Siena’s historic architecture as part of the accommodation rather than simply the backdrop outside the door, Palazzo Borghesi is an especially characterful choice. The two details worth checking carefully are the exact room and the parking arrangement.

Casatorre dei Leoni Dimora Storica

• Best for: Travelers looking for historic character, stylish interiors and a central base for exploring Siena on foot
• Location: Via del Porrione in the historic center, a few minutes from Piazza del Campo
• Why consider it: Restored historic architecture, modern Italian design, spacious rooms and convenient dining
• Things to know: Panoramic views are not its main feature, parking is off-site, and cooling can be more challenging in extreme heat

Casatorre dei Leoni takes a historic Siena building and gives it a more contemporary interior style. Located on Via del Porrione, the property is close to Piazza del Campo and surrounded by restaurants, cafés, shops and the streets that make central Siena so easy to explore on foot.

The building retains its historic character, including features such as high ceilings and exposed beams in selected accommodations, while modern Italian furnishings make the rooms feel more current than some of Siena’s older guesthouses.

Room sizes are another advantage. Larger rooms, family options and apartments provide more flexibility than a standard double room, making the property suitable for both couples and travelers who need additional living space.

Breakfast includes continental and buffet choices, with vegan and gluten-free options available. A connected restaurant adds another practical benefit for anyone who does not want to search for dinner after a full day in the city.

The property’s central location is more important than its views. Casatorre is about being immersed in Siena, not looking out over a wide Tuscan landscape. Views therefore vary by room and are less of a defining feature than at properties with terraces or elevated positions.

Parking is off-site, so drivers should make arrangements in advance. Air conditioning is available, although there has been feedback about cooling performance in larger rooms during particularly hot weather.

For travelers who value location, stylish design, historic details and comfortable rooms, Casatorre dei Leoni is a balanced option. It is better thought of as a characterful city base than as a hotel built around views or extensive leisure facilities.

Hotel Athena

• Best for: Road-trippers and travelers who want free parking, views and walkable access to the historic center
• Location: Inside Siena’s historic walls, less than a 15-minute walk from Piazza del Campo and the cathedral
• Why consider it: Free private parking, spacious rooms and a panoramic terrace
• Things to know: The main sights are not directly outside the door, and summer cooling can vary

Hotel Athena solves one of the more frustrating problems of staying in Siena by car: it combines a location inside the historic walls with free private parking. The hotel is outside the ZTL, so arriving by car is more straightforward than at many centrally located properties.

Once the car is parked, the center is still close enough to explore on foot. Piazza del Campo and the Cathedral are less than a 15-minute walk away, although this is a longer walk than you would have from a hotel positioned deeper in the center.

The panoramic terrace is another strong feature. It looks across Siena and the surrounding valley, and some upper-floor rooms also have attractive outlooks. The terrace, restaurant and bar make better use of those views than a property where scenery exists only from a handful of rooms.

Rooms are spacious and include air conditioning, with options suitable for couples and families. Other facilities include a restaurant, room service, bicycle rental and a 24-hour front desk, making it a full-service hotel rather than simply a convenient place to park.

Breakfast offers a broad buffet, although the hot selection is fairly modest and machine coffee may not impress travelers with high breakfast expectations. Staff can also help with excursions and transportation, including visits to Tuscan wine areas such as Chianti and Brunello.

Air conditioning is another point to consider during very hot weather. It is available, but some stays have found rooms less comfortable during extreme summer conditions.

For anyone driving through Tuscany and spending time in Siena, Hotel Athena has an unusually practical combination of parking, walkability and views. The price of that convenience is the slightly longer walk to the main sights.

Best Budget Hotels in Siena

Hotel Duomo

• Best for: Budget-conscious travelers who want central Siena, historic character and the possibility of city views
• Location: Historic center, around five minutes from the Cathedral and Piazza del Campo
• Why consider it: Central location, historic building, rooftop outlook and breakfast
• Things to know: Some rooms and bathrooms are dated, access can involve stairs and nighttime noise is possible

Hotel Duomo is aimed at travelers who want the experience of staying in central Siena without moving into luxury-hotel prices. Its historic-center location puts both the Cathedral and Piazza del Campo within roughly five minutes on foot, with restaurants and medieval streets immediately outside.

The building gives it considerably more personality than a generic budget property. The Renaissance-style exterior and surviving historic details, including wooden beams and exposed brickwork, reinforce the feeling that you are staying in an old Siena building rather than a modern budget hotel.

Views are one of the more attractive features. Selected rooms look toward the Duomo, while the terrace opens across Siena’s rooftops and surrounding hills. The specific room matters, though, because not every accommodation offers the same outlook.

Interiors vary as well. Some rooms are comfortably spacious for a hotel in the center, but others retain older finishes, and certain bathrooms and carpets show their age. This is therefore a property where the historic setting and price need to be considered alongside the fact that it is not uniformly contemporary.

Breakfast is straightforward and useful, although some feedback points to items not always being replenished later in the morning and a limited vegetarian selection.

The central historic building also means stairs can be part of the experience, with some rooms involving steep or awkward access. Parking similarly requires planning rather than the convenience of an on-site lot.

Noise is another inevitable consideration when you stay this centrally. Street activity can reach some rooms, and one recent stay was affected by music from a nearby club.

Hotel Duomo makes sense when your priority is location, historic atmosphere, views and price rather than modern finishes. It is a practical way to put yourself in the heart of Siena without paying for a higher-end hotel, as long as you are comfortable with the compromises that come with an older central property.

Albergo Centrale

• Best for: Budget travelers who want to be as close as possible to Piazza del Campo
• Location: Historic center, a few steps from Piazza del Campo and around five minutes from the Cathedral
• Why consider it: Excellent location, comfortable rooms and selected views of Siena landmarks
• Things to know: No elevator and no conventional breakfast service

Albergo Centrale keeps the formula simple: spend as little as possible on hotel facilities and as much as possible on location. The property occupies the upper floors of a historic 12th-century building, only a few steps from Piazza del Campo.

That position is its defining feature. The Cathedral, restaurants, shops and medieval streets are all immediately accessible, so travelers can spend most of the visit walking rather than worrying about transportation.

The rooms retain the atmosphere of an older Siena property while providing useful modern facilities including air conditioning, Wi-Fi, televisions, minibars and private bathrooms. Selected accommodations also have particularly attractive views toward Torre del Mangia, the Cathedral, Piazza del Campo and surrounding rooftops.

The overall approach is practical rather than luxurious. If you primarily need a clean, comfortable room in the center and are going to spend your days sightseeing, there is little reason to pay for facilities you will not use.

The biggest drawback is the staircase. There is no elevator, and some rooms require four or five flights depending on their position in the building. That makes this a property where luggage and mobility need to be considered before booking.

Breakfast is not provided as a conventional hotel service. Some rooms have basic coffee or tea facilities, while cafés and bakeries nearby provide easy alternatives. When comparing prices, remember to account for your morning meal separately.

Parking is also off-site and should be arranged before arrival.

For travelers who want to put their budget into location rather than hotel facilities, Albergo Centrale is a clear proposition. It sacrifices an elevator and breakfast but gives you one of the most central positions in the guide.

Albergo Bernini

• Best for: Budget travelers who value atmosphere, views and an informal guesthouse experience
• Location: Historic center, within walking distance of Siena’s principal sights
• Why consider it: A large panoramic terrace and an intimate, traditional atmosphere
• Things to know: Facilities are basic, some rooms have shared bathrooms, and there is no elevator

Albergo Bernini is best understood as a traditional guesthouse rather than a conventional hotel. Its strongest feature is not a large list of facilities but its setting and atmosphere, particularly the terrace overlooking the rooftops and historic center toward the Cathedral.

For a budget property, that outdoor space adds something genuinely memorable. It gives you somewhere to sit and take in Siena rather than simply providing a functional place to sleep.

The small scale of the property also creates a more informal style of hospitality. Assistance with restaurants, taxis, luggage and local arrangements is part of the experience, which suits travelers who prefer a personal atmosphere over a standardized hotel.

The rooms are basic and vary. Some have private bathrooms while others use shared facilities, and older furnishings are part of the property’s overall character. Anyone looking for modern, polished interiors should set expectations accordingly.

There is no elevator and rooms are reached by several flights of stairs, so this is particularly worth considering with large luggage.

Breakfast information also requires care. While some accommodation information describes breakfast positively, the detailed listing material indicates that a conventional breakfast service may not always be provided. Travelers who specifically need breakfast included should confirm the current arrangement.

Noise can vary depending on the room and surrounding activity. Its central location is useful for sightseeing but naturally comes with more exposure to city sounds.

Albergo Bernini works when the terrace, views and historic atmosphere matter more than modern facilities. It is a different proposition from a polished budget hotel: simpler, more intimate and far more dependent on the character of the building.

Best B&Bs and Guesthouses in Siena

B&B Le Logge Luxury Rooms

• Best for: Couples and travelers looking for a stylish, intimate B&B near Piazza del Campo
• Location: Historic center, about two minutes from Piazza del Campo
• Why consider it: Historic interiors, thoughtful hospitality, excellent location and selected spa features
• Things to know: There is no elevator and several flights of stairs lead to the rooms

B&B Le Logge Luxury Rooms offers the smaller scale and personal atmosphere of a B&B without giving up style. Its location is particularly convenient, putting Piazza del Campo only a couple of minutes away and the Cathedral within easy walking distance.

The rooms are the main attraction. Wooden floors, exposed beams, elegant furnishings and historic details create a strong sense of place, while air conditioning, Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs and tea and coffee facilities cover the practical side of a city stay.

Some accommodation goes further with features such as a spa bath or sauna, and one room has a view toward Torre del Mangia. Those details make the room category worth checking carefully if you are looking for something beyond a standard double.

The property is small enough that hospitality feels personal. Hosts can help with arrival, luggage, restaurants and local sightseeing, giving the B&B a more individual character than a larger hotel.

Breakfast combines sweet and savory Italian choices and can be adapted to different dietary requirements. It is a useful feature for travelers who prefer not to leave the property first thing in the morning.

The main practical limitation is access. There is no elevator, and the rooms require several flights of stairs in an old building. That is manageable for many travelers but not ideal with heavy suitcases or limited mobility.

Because the property is central, evening street noise can occur, although soundproofed rooms and its position slightly away from the busiest points can help.

For travelers who want a stylish room, a very central location and the personal feel of a small B&B, Le Logge offers a particularly attractive combination. The important checks are the room-specific features and the stairs.

Fonte Gaia Experience

• Best for: Couples, families and travelers who want stylish design with very personal hospitality
• Location: Historic center, about three minutes from Piazza del Campo
• Why consider it: Design-led rooms, strong breakfast, central location and detailed local assistance
• Things to know: Narrow stairs and no elevator; parking needs advance planning

Fonte Gaia Experience has a particularly residential feel despite its central position. It is only a few minutes from Piazza del Campo but sits on a quieter street just away from some of the busiest parts of the center.

The rooms mix contemporary comfort with distinctive design. Features include seating areas, air conditioning, 43-inch flat-screen TVs, tea-making facilities and private bathrooms with chromotherapy showers. Selected rooms also have balconies.

With only a small number of rooms, the property feels closer to a carefully run home than a conventional hotel. That small scale allows the hosts to help with practical details such as parking, restaurants, sightseeing, taxis and arrival arrangements.

Breakfast fits the same philosophy. The selection includes meats, cheeses, yogurt, bread, coffee and other morning essentials, with homemade cake adding a more personal touch. Gluten-free needs can also be accommodated.

The location is surprisingly practical for drivers, although parking is not directly at the property. Hosts can help arrange nearby parking and ZTL access for luggage drop-off. The nearby escalator route toward the Duomo is also useful because it removes some of the uphill walking associated with central Siena.

The main limitation is again the historic building. There is no elevator and the stairs are narrow and steep. This is one of those properties where a central location comes with an old-building compromise.

Evening noise can vary, and although air conditioning is provided, very hot periods may put more pressure on cooling in larger rooms.

Fonte Gaia Experience is particularly well suited to people who want design, location and highly personal hospitality rather than a full-service hotel. Its size is part of the appeal.

La Dimora Dei Monaci

• Best for: Travelers who want a traditional Tuscan atmosphere, attractive views and a personal B&B stay
• Location: Historic center, about four minutes from Piazza del Campo
• Why consider it: Period furnishings, views, breakfast and warm hospitality
• Things to know: Parking needs planning and room layouts and bathrooms can vary

La Dimora Dei Monaci is the B&B in this guide that most strongly feels like a traditional Tuscan home. Rather than presenting itself as a standardized hotel, it uses period furnishings, antiques, original details and a warm residential atmosphere to make the building part of the stay.

Its location keeps the practical side simple. Piazza del Campo is only a few minutes away, while restaurants and other central sights are close enough to reach on foot.

The rooms combine the traditional character of the property with modern necessities such as air conditioning, Wi-Fi, private bathrooms, parquet floors and televisions. Selected rooms also look over Siena’s rooftops, walls and the countryside beyond.

Breakfast is a major part of the experience, with pastries, fruit, yogurt, cheese, bread, coffee and eggs forming a generous spread. Dietary preferences and breakfast timing can also be accommodated, reinforcing the feeling of staying in a private home rather than a large hotel.

The hosts take an active role in the stay, helping with restaurants, arrival, parking, luggage and local information. There is also a shared sitting area with coffee and tea facilities.

Parking is not directly at the property. The hosts can assist with unloading and nearby options, but some parking areas are around a 10-minute walk away, so drivers should make arrangements in advance.

According to the latest property information supplied for this guide, an elevator is now available, although older descriptions may not reflect that change. The building remains historic, so room layouts and bathroom sizes can differ.

For travelers looking for old-world Siena atmosphere, personal hospitality and views, La Dimora Dei Monaci stands out because it feels less like a conventional hotel and more like a carefully maintained Tuscan home.

Best Apartments in Siena

My Honeyed Corner

• Best for: Couples, families and longer stays that benefit from more space and apartment facilities
• Location: About 10 minutes from Siena’s historic center and roughly 13 minutes from Piazza del Campo
• Why consider it: Full kitchen, washing machine, terrace, city views and a quieter residential setting
• Things to know: The walk into the old town includes an uphill section unless you use the nearby escalators

My Honeyed Corner is a good option for travelers who want to stay near Siena without giving up the independence of an apartment. The one-bedroom apartment measures 55 m² and has a separate bedroom and living area, giving it substantially more space than a typical hotel room.

The kitchen is one of its biggest practical advantages. It includes an oven, stovetop, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, toaster and coffee machine, while a washing machine makes the apartment especially useful for longer stays or families traveling with children.

Air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV, bathrobes and toiletries are also provided. The living room includes a sofa bed, so the layout can work for couples who want extra space as well as small families.

Views are another reason to consider it. The apartment looks toward Siena’s historic center, with views from the bedroom, kitchen and balcony or terrace. Because it sits in a quieter residential area, the experience is different from staying directly on one of the busiest medieval streets.

Everyday convenience is also good. A supermarket is nearby, and several routes lead toward the historic center. The nearby escalator route can make the uphill walk considerably easier, especially in hot weather.

The hosts provide more than a key handover. They can explain the apartment, offer local advice and help with restaurants, parking and sightseeing. Parking itself is nearby rather than directly at the apartment, so arrangements should be discussed before arrival.

The main trade-off is the walk into central Siena. The distance is reasonable, but the city is hilly, and travelers who want Piazza del Campo immediately outside the door may prefer a more central property.

For couples, families and longer stays where a kitchen, washing machine, terrace and additional living space are genuinely useful, My Honeyed Corner offers a strong apartment alternative to a hotel.

Regis Condo

• Best for: Families, couples and longer stays that benefit from generous apartment space in the historic center
• Location: Via Stalloreggi in the historic center, about five minutes from Piazza del Campo
• Why consider it: Multiple apartment sizes, full kitchens, washing machines, air conditioning and easy access to the main sights
• Things to know: There is no elevator, parking is off-site, and features such as courtyard access depend on the individual apartment

Regis Condo is particularly useful for travelers who want apartment facilities without sacrificing the convenience of staying directly in Siena’s historic center. Piazza del Campo is about five minutes away, while the Duomo, National Picture Gallery and Palazzo Chigi-Saracini are all within easy walking distance.

What makes Regis Condo different from a typical one-bedroom holiday rental is the range of accommodation sizes. The smallest studio is 45 m², the one-bedroom apartment is 60 m² and the largest Garden View Apartment is 130 m² with two bedrooms and a living room. That makes it possible to choose a layout that fits anything from a couple to a larger family or group.

The apartments are designed for independent living, with kitchens or kitchenettes that include an oven, stovetop, microwave, refrigerator, toaster and coffee machine. Washing machines are another practical advantage, especially for longer trips. Air conditioning, Wi-Fi, private bathrooms and ironing facilities are also provided.

The central position is particularly valuable for families because restaurants, cafés, shops and major sights are all nearby. Some accommodations can be relatively quiet because they face inward, although street-facing units can be more exposed to the sounds of the historic center.

Breakfast is available as an additional option at a nearby bar, while the property also has a restaurant. Assistance with luggage storage, taxis, tours and arrival arrangements is available as part of the property setup.

Parking is the biggest consideration for anyone arriving by car. There is no dedicated on-site parking, and nearby garages can be expensive. Parcheggio Il Campo is one option, but the important point is to organize parking before reaching the center.

There is also no elevator, and upper-floor apartments require stairs. Because Regis Condo contains different accommodation types, courtyard access, views, seating and layouts can vary. The individual apartment listing matters just as much as the property name.

For families and travelers who want a genuinely central apartment with space, a kitchen and laundry facilities, Regis Condo is one of the more flexible choices in this guide. Its main compromises are the stairs and the need to plan parking.

Nonna Anna

• Best for: Couples and families who want a spacious apartment with historic character in central Siena
• Location: Historic center, a short walk from Piazza del Campo, Torre del Mangia and the Duomo
• Why consider it: 60 m² layout, private kitchen, dishwasher, historic building and highly central location
• Things to know: There is no elevator and no air conditioning

Nonna Anna is a 60 m² apartment in a historic Siena building, with a private entrance and enough living space to feel more like a temporary home than a hotel room. The apartment combines older architectural character, including tiled floors, with a practical setup for independent stays.

The layout includes a separate bedroom and living room with a sofa bed, making it suitable for couples and small families. The kitchen has a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, coffee machine and dining area, while Wi-Fi, heating and a flat-screen TV cover the basic modern requirements.

Location is the strongest argument for booking it. Piazza del Campo and Torre del Mangia are only a short walk away, while the Cathedral, National Picture Gallery and other central attractions are also close. Restaurants, cafés and everyday conveniences are nearby, so there is little need for transport during a typical stay.

The historic setting does come with a practical price. There is no elevator, and the apartment is reached by around 25 steep steps. That is worth considering with children, heavy luggage or limited mobility.

The more significant summer issue is the absence of air conditioning. Fans are provided instead. During a July 2026 stay when temperatures reached around 38°C, the apartment was reported to become very warm. That makes this a much more important consideration for summer visitors than it would be during spring or autumn.

Parking also requires planning because of the restricted vehicle access in the center. The host can provide information about nearby parking, but there is no dedicated space directly outside.

The personal hospitality is part of the appeal, with local recommendations and assistance available during the stay. The apartment has also been noted for its cleanliness and thoughtful setup.

Nonna Anna is most suitable for travelers who value location, historic character and apartment space over hotel-style facilities. For a cool-season city break, it offers a lot in return for its price and central position. In midsummer, however, the lack of A/C should be treated as a major booking consideration.
