"Hotel Athena was a great property in Siena right inside the town walls. Very convenient as we had a rental car and did day trips throughout Tuscany. Breakfast buffet was included and great selection and quality of food. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others."

"Nice modern business hotel with spacious rooms. Mine had a balcony too. Plenty of parking on site. I ate in the restaurant which was good and reasonably priced. It’s a bit out of the way, so definitely not somewhere to explore Siena on foot by!"

"Beautiful grounds, great breakfast buffet, swimming pool would be nice in the summer time. We enjoyed the veranda in the sunshine of October. Staff at the front desk was very friendly and helpful."

"Rooms are very clean and staff are very friendly and super helpful and above all they are caring and very accommodating especially with our elderly less abled parents for which we are very grateful.
Property is in a beautiful setting. Restaurant staff also very helpful. Thank you very much to all who hosted us at Villa Cesi."

We loved this place and it was by far the best place we stayed during our time in Italy. The property is breathtaking and the service/staff is amazing. All the food we had was phenomenal and fresh. The wine is to die for. This is the type of place that is so good that you almost don’t want to tell people about it to keep it secret. Hope to be back again someday.

This hotel is well situated for all the major attractions and venues in the area south of Florence. We enjoyed the property and breakfast was excellent!

Stained here at the end of an eight day trip around Italy. This hotel was head and shoulders above the others I visited, it is a boutique hotel of seven rooms. Our room was a suite. It was bigger than many apartments, with a large living room with daybed, a beautiful master bathroom with jetted tub and separate shower with jets overhead as well as side jets, ample closet storage, fridge, and safe. The rooms here have antique furniture and hand painted ceilings. I loved the breakfast on the...

Oh wow, perfect vacation and a real Tuscany atmosphere, the hotel is a magical old yet perfectly renovated property, the room was amazingly clean and equipped with everything we needed, the pool was open until 8pm and it’s never crowded, very peaceful area, almost like a fantasy movie, breakfast was great, especially the cheese , local pastries and coffee , the staff was lovely, very friendly and helpful, but the real deal was DINNER , I cannot say enough about the food and wine they make,...

A Wonderful Stay with Exceptional Hospitality
We recently had the pleasure of staying at this delightful bed and breakfast in the heart of Siena, Italy, and we cannot speak highly enough of the experience. From the moment we arrived, the family running the place greeted us with warmth and kindness, making us feel like we were part of their own family.One of the things that stood out to us the most was their genuine willingness to share their local knowledge.

Simply charming. Located just a block from the Old Town and surrounded by medieval buildings, churches, and towers. Everything was perfect; the breakfast was delicious and made to order. The fruit, bread, and jams were fresh—no preservatives or pre-packaged products. The person in charge of the kitchen was very kind and attentive. The rooms were lovely, featuring antique furniture, and ours offered incredible views of the Tuscan landscape. We were treated like royalty. Furthermore, the location...

Perfect location for a stay in Siena. It is literally next to the Duomo. The B&B suggested we use a valet parking lot outside of the city, which worked out perfectly. We were dropped off right next to the property, picked up on time at the end of the trip, and did not have to lug our bags through town.
In addition to the location, the property itself was lovely. Very beautiful and comfortable rooms. The communication from the property and the personnel on site were excellent. We thoroughly...

Beautiful property with large rooms, parlors, great staff, great restaurant, etc. We arrived late and the kitchen was closed, but they made one call and re-opened it for us and served an amazing meal with late night enthusiasm on a beautiful deck. The rooms were large, nice baths and very comfortable beds. We wanted to stay another night to relax by the pool and enjoy the wonderful grounds, but they were booked so we had to move on as this was a last minute booking. Great breakfast in the...

This hotel is right outside the back of the church. A Pope once lived in it back in the 16th century. What is great is the location & convenience. There is a little noise from all the tourists walking buy, but not an issue when sleeping at night. It‘s a tiny place - i think it has 7 rooms, so don‘t expect much selection for breakfast. Sienna is beautiful and I will definitely stay here the next time I am in town.
