Decent room, pleasant, plenty of hot water, nice view out onto the street. Character, but old. Air-con works fine. TV etc. No mini-bar though, and only a shower in the en suite. Although there is a…
Overview
If you want feel and live old Italy, this is the hotel for you. A restored 16th-century tower within the town walls in the south-east corner of Siena, Hotel Antica Torre is a few minute walk from the famous Piazza del Campo.
Its excellent position permits not only an easy access to the city with its world renowned sights, but also to the Sienese country side such as the famous Chianti region.
The present owners have transformed this historical Palace into a new dimension of accommodation to enjoy in the best way the typical Italian hospitality and the atmosphere of a private home, with only eight simply but tastefully furnished guest rooms full of character. The old travertine stone staircase, wooden beams and original brick vaults here and there are reminders of the building's great age.
Siena is a lovely city founded by the Etruscans, where old medieval precious works of art show the beauty of Piazza del Campo, the very hearth of the city. A real attraction of Siena is the "Palio", the horse race which takes place on July and August. In this enchanting city you will also appreciate the Senese cooking and "Chianti classico" red wine.
Accomodation
This very old, enchanting hotel offers eight charming rooms all tastefully decorated in ancient Tuscan style and with their own private bathroom. A central travertine staircase leads to the rooms, two on each floor, which keep perfectly the ancient atmosphere with travertine stone floors, wrought iron beds, antique prints, old writing desks and lovely curtains.
The rooms on the top level provide a beautiful view over the Sienese clay tile roofs and surrounding rolling green countryside.
