Palazzetto Rosso - Art Hotel

Everything about this place is excellent. I was lucky to have the amazing panoramic suite. Waking up to those views at sunrise or having a relaxing bath with the windows open to birdsong and the city bells tolling. It’s just a magical place. I could have stayed forever. The breakfast is superb and very creative. Not the usual boring hotel fare but a feast of local delicacies prepared with love and care. The staff were wonderful and friendly. It really is like a home away from home — but even better. Siena is an incredible city. Far superior to Florence in my view. Wonderful for people watching with a drink in the nearby Campo Piazza at sunset. Loads of great restaurants a short walk away.

There is pretty much nothing to fault. The stay was amazing. Our stay in this hotel was outstanding from start to finish. The rooms are in a beautiful medieval palace in the heart of Siena. It is quite a small hotel, which makes it feel very homely and cozy. The room was absolutely beautiful and had all the amenities that one would expect from this price range. What struck me particularly was how big the rooms were, how clean and how big and comfortable the bathtub was. In the morning there was an incredible breakfast spread waiting for us downstairs. But the most special thing about the hotel were the employees. Everyone was absolutely fantastic and made our stay so enjoyable and positive. Thank you all so much! You deserve a pay rise.

Palazzetto Rosso is in a great location, on a quiet street close to the Cathedral and Piazza del Campo. There’s lots of shops, restaurants and cafes close by. The building is an old palace, although it’s been renovated in a modern style, I love the juxtaposition of the old and new. It has a lovely breakfast/bar area just off the reception which is very peaceful and ideal to relax in after a day’s sightseeing. They have an honesty bar so you can help yourself to wine and spirits and pay the bill later. There are a small number of rooms, 9 in total, we were number 6. It’s a very large comfortable room, quite red and funky which was in stark contrast to the huge fireplace and high ceilings with lovely frescoes. There was lots of choice at breakfast. However what we appreciated most was the warm welcome from the staff, they have lots of suggestions and ideas to help you make the most of your stay. We’d highly recommend staying here.

We really enjoyed our stay. Federica at reception was excellent and very friendly, as were all members of staff. The rooms/suites were large and we had a separate upstairs room with a lounge area and a view over the rooftops. The breakfast buffet was significant and delicious. Only a couple of minutes walk from the Campo. Having the honesty bar was a nice touch too.

So glad I chose this place in Siena! The location was perfect—just a short walk from the main shopping streets and piazzas in the old town, but still nice and quiet. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and Ilaria was especially great—she gave us fantastic restaurant recommendations and went out of her way to help until we finally got a reservation at a place we really wanted to try. Big thanks to her!
