The 10 best Bed and Breakfast Inns in Siena, Italy
This Tuscan hill town will transport you back to the Middle Ages. Siena's grand cathedral, built in the 1200s, has treasured artworks and marvelous marble floors. The Piazza del Campo, the main town square, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's also home to the Palio, perhaps the most infamous horserace in the world. No goofy hats and mint juleps here—this is a medieval tradition involving bareback riders racing on cobblestones (so as you might imagine, it's quite dangerous). Siena is an easy daytrip by train from Florence, just 43 miles away.

Our historic home, a genuine 13th century fortress, allows our guests to take a step back into history and enjoy the magical atmosphere of a medieval castle without missing out on modern amenities such as air conditioning and wi-fi and while enjoying the warm welcome of a family run Bnb.
The views and the people were spectacular
Reviewed By davecA5702LIMy wife & I stayed @ Castello delle Quattro Torra from Tuesday, 05/21/22, through Saturday, 05/24/22, in the Blue Room. Upon arrival, after ringing the bell, the massive castle doors were opened by a young lady, Gioia ("JOY-yuh") who turned out to be the daughter of the couple who own the castle Gioia proceeded to load our luggage onto a cage tied to an electric lift that hoisted our bags 60 or 70 feet up through the open inner courtyard to a window through which she swung the entire load to deposit it in the open living area of the main level. She then signed us in and gave us an extensive tour of the place while pointing out interesting and unique characteristics of the 800+ year old structure. She also pointed out a "private" area where her grandmother (Nonna) lives. We met Nonna later when, along with a woman who works at the castle, served us breakfast every morning. Gioia's poise and grace had us guessing that she was in her mid-20s at least, but it turns out that she was 16 years old - a gracious and poised young lady. I should add that the family owns not only the castle, where Gioia's father grew up, but a farm and vineyard where they live and have a farm-to-table restaurant, Ristorante Le Pietre Vive, where we had dinner that first night and where we were served by Gioele, Gioia's brother who was equally mature, poised and professional and, besides, had a superb knowledge of local vino which we sampled at length. All-in-all, our stay "with" the Guerrini family was very memorable and included views to die for of the Tuscan countryside and the Siena skyline from the windows of our suite. Don't miss this place!

Beautiful medieval hotel
Reviewed By lexmillerA beautiful building, steeped in history. These rooms were once the apartment of a wealthy family - the history is documented in a brochure in the main salon, a public gathering room which was once the living room for the family. A photo book contains photos of the renovations of the building - fascinating how the current owner gutted the rooms while at the same time, maintaining the historical accuracy, restoring the painted murals, etc. The furniture is period and be sure to admire the stunning Venetian glass chandeliers throughout the common rooms. There are photos of the family in the common living room which are so nice to see. There are also books and games, very welcoming. The current family who owns the Residenza, is involved with Montalcino wine production. In our room, probably in them all, there is a bottle of Brunello de Montalcino in a lighted shadow box on the wall with a price tag on it in case you’d like to purchase it. There are bottles of wine for sale next to the guest fridge area in the dining room. On the top floor, there is a veranda for all of the guests to use, appealing fairy lights on the railings help to highlight the amazing view of Siena. Our room was the “Viridi Gallia” room. It has it’s own private balcony with a "you have to see it to believe it” view looking down on Siena and the countryside beyond. There is a table for two on the balcony, which we utilized often - we would buy a bottle of wine at the nearby market (great local wines are so inexpensive!!) and a pizza and dine al fresco, best view in Siena. LOL, tip - make sure you have a dinner reservation at least a day in advance in nearly all of the local restaurants or you too will be having pizza for dinner on the balcony, haha! Pleasant though it was, there are a few restaurants we wish we hadn’t missed. Silvia in reception is exceptional! She is warm and accessible while at the same time, is knowledgeable and professional. We stayed at the Residenza for 5 nights, but our paths only overlapped once, when we checked in, as we spent three days touring Tuscany on wine day tours with “Franco Fadda Dream Tuscany”. But though we didn’t see Silvia, she was in constant contact with us via WhatsApp - always checking in to make sure all was well, if she could to anything for us, recommendations and touring ideas, etc. She arranged a car transfer for us from Siena to the airport in Florence which worked out perfectly. She always has the comfort of the guests in mind as her first priority. The rooms as I said, are historic and stunning - but definitely updated with all modern conveniences. The bathrooms are beautifully luxurious! Love the sink! And the shower is stunning, just be careful of the slippery marble floor when wet! Be aware that there are several flights of stairs to access the Residenza - depending upon your knees, no problem to go up but could be an issue going down. However, don’t despair, there is a teensy weensy elevator which you will for sure need if you have luggage. The building was after all, built in the first half of the 14th century - still, it was renovated in the early 1500s, so you’d think there might be a larger elevator……LOL, I’m kidding! The Residenza is a Bed & Breakfast, with six beautiful rooms for let. Breakfast was included but you absolutely must have a breakfast order form. If by chance no one upon check in gave you a form or there was no form ever placed in your room by housekeeping, then you don’t get breakfast, it’s as simple as that. We did not get a form, we didn’t know you needed one - so this is a word to the wise - you do, so ask for one in advance, you’ve been alerted. Breakfast starts at 9am every day, on the day we wanted to eat in the Residenza, we went out to the main room and sat down, but the lady in charge said, “no breakfast for you” - abrupt and no smile, but we don’t share a language so that’s fine - because we had not filled out a form, because we didn’t know about it. The issue is that breakfast orders are filled strictly to what you check off on the form - there is no one in the kitchen cooking or baking - the food is not freshly cooked - options are hard boiled eggs, cold ham, packaged yogurt, plain croissant. If there was someone cooking fresh breakfast in the kitchen - eggs, omelettes, bacon, that sort of thing - then there would be extra food as it would be cooked to order, you know, picture your own kitchen. But the food is closely rationed, exacting, per form. Which is why since we had no form, there was no cappucino for us, no juice, not a prepackaged yogurt nor nary a slice of cold ham to spare. HOWEVER, and this is a great tip - you are given vouchers (and we were given vouchers on check-in, just no in-house breakfast form) to use at the Bar 4 Cantoni for breakfast because the breakfast in the hotel does not begin until 9am. Bar 4 Cantoni opens at 6:30am every morning. Upon check in, we were given vouchers for Bar 4 in case we would be touring and had to leave before 9am. Good thing, since the one morning that we did want to eat breakfast in the hotel but we couldn’t, since we were not given the form, we did have plenty of vouchers. And after seeing the hotel breakfast - we did see the trays on the day we wanted to eat in house pre-prepared for the guests that did have a form - I can absolutely report that you will very much enjoy eating at Bar 4 Cantoni where everything is fresh and there are many more options and all are quite lovely. Nice to have that option, particularly if as in our case, it was our only option! Loved their cappuccinos, pastries, fresh gorgeous sandwiches, freshly squeezed 'a la minute' orange juice, etc.

Pleasant place with the views
Reviewed By leoasin1A very pleasant small hotel with a well maintained garden. Perfect location when traveling on the car. Large Coop Firenze supermarket (arguably one of the best supermarkets in Italy) is less than 1 km away. Comfortable clean rooms and attentive staff. Good view of the Siena from the top of the garden. It is not far from the center but one needs to walk through deserted and uninteresting areas - does not make sense. It is better to drive and park the car next to the center. We did not have any problems finding parking...

Located on a hill in the Chianti region, an idyllic place surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, a step away from the mythical city of Siena ...Comprising 11 rooms, all decorated with beautiful fabrics, furniture and valuable paintings but nonetheless lack the modern amenities: flat screen televisions, wi-fi, air conditioning, central heating, mini bar, hair dryer, bath or shower .Each room is equipped with an independent alarm system.Breakfast is served in an annexe.Every morning you wait for fresh bread, croissants, jams, honey produced on our land, meats, cheeses, eggs, yogurt, cereal, coffee, tea, fruit juices ...In addition, it offers an à la carte to satisfy the most discerning palates.The view of the pool is priceless.Thanks to its position a light breeze will ease the summer heat and for those who like to relax in the water pool has a Jacuzzi.Agriturismo Il Castagno is an excellent starting point for discovering all Tuscany.The Chiantigiana crossing the region of Chianti Classico is just steps away.The highway that links Florence to Siena is just 2 km as well as the Siena-Bettolle that takes you on a moment in the Crete Senesi, Montalcino, Pienza or in Umbria, ...For your peace of mind the property is under video surveillance.
A perfect break
Reviewed By Kate LMy wife and i stayed here as a celebration of a 60th birthday. The hotel is superb in every way the room was huge, beautifully constructed with amazing views. We particularly loved the swimming pool with its stunning views of Tuscan hills. All of the staff were very friendly and incredibly helpful. the restaurant could not be faulted breakfast was excellent and dinner was exquisite. Add into this the beautiful city of Siena only 10 minutes away and you have perfection.

Amazing stay in the heart of Siena
Reviewed By SunshineCostAlready at our arrival we were welcomed very warmly and received great tipps and information about the city while our room was made ready (as we arrived a bit too early for check in). The room in the historic building was lovely renovated. A highlight of the villa is their terrace, where you can have breakfast and also an Aperitivo or two before dinner, with an amazing view of the city. Also the location is perfect, within 5 minutes you are in the middle of the Piazza del Campo. Thank you again for the great stay, we hope to come back soon ☺️

A nice stay in wonderful Siena
Reviewed By RobboRDI stayed at the B&B Il Corso for 3 nights and overall had a pleasant stay. The B&B is adhering to Covid guidelines properly and is very safe. I was given a map and local knowledge of the area on my arrival by Pietro who was very helpful. The room itself was a little smaller than expected but still an ok size. The rainfall shower was a big positive. The only reason for a 4 out of 5 rating is the noise reduction in the room isn't fantastic. It's ok... but you can still hear raised voices and any cars that go past quite easily. It is in a busy area of Siena so you will hear these a lot if you decide to go to bed early or attempt a lie in.

Lovely neighborhood
Reviewed By MiitchiThe host was gracious and helpful with calling a cab for us. This home is beautiful. The room was comfortable with very high, beautifully stenciled ceilings and a big window. The breakfast was plentiful and varied. It was a quiet location not far from the city center. A big market was only a few blocks away the morning we checked out.

Campo Regio Relais is also perfect as a base from which you can discover the medieval towns and villages that surround Siena.
We Loved Our Stay
Reviewed By bgibsonCampo Regio Relais is truly a special experience. Not just because of its location, or elegance and quality of furnishings, or even the common room and terrace with amazing view enjoyed for breakfast with morning sun, and evening lights of the city. But perhaps more so for us was the gracious hospitality extended by Maria Luisa and staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, didn't want to leave, and can't imagine finding a better place to stay while in Siena.

Reviewed By Julie HStayed here for two nights in May. Very central location. Clean and spacious rooms. Well equipped ie hair drier, coffee machine, TV. Plenty of wardrobe space. Only downside was lighting was inadequate in the bedroom although ok in bathroom. And heated towel rail wouldn't warm up. Communal area with nice sofa etc was a lovely touch.
