"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."

Just a phenomenal place to stay. Great breakfast options in the morning, friendly and helpful staff and the grounds were amazing to walk around. Perfect if you are looking to visit the neighboring villages in Tuscany

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...

The hotel was beautiful and memorable. The hotel had a remarkable staff. Everyone was very friendly and so very polite. Speaking to Francesca and Francisco was truly a wonderful experience. We hope to return someday. Thanks to everyone.

The owner Fabio was fantastic. Could not be more accomodating. He personally makes breakfast and homemade pastries. Highly recommend this facility. A little hard to get to but worth it.

Staff was most helpful and provided indications for visiting Siena. Breakfast buffet was excellent and the terrace outside where we had breakfast was lovely. Location is fine but you need a car to get to Siena.

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.

The hotel restaurant was amazing. Great food and price. Great hotel, free parking, modern and clean place. Staff was friendly and spoke good English. They certainly went out of their way to help us.

Charming, beautifully decorated, and pet-friendly hotel
We enjoyed our stay at this charming hotel. It is very cutely decorated and has lots of character. The location is great if you prefer staying outside the busy city center while still having convenient access to everything.
The room was a good size—not too big or too small—with a comfortable bed and a spacious bathroom. Breakfast was also very good, offering everything you need to start the day.
Another big plus is that the hotel is...

This small property exceeded our expectations! The staff was so accommodating and gracious! The room was impeccably clean and the view from the terrace was breathtaking! We would highly recommend to anyone traveling to Siena!

This property is in a perfect location and inside a beautiful Palazzo. I have traveled to 123 countries on business and pleasure over the last 25 years and the Borghesi Siena is in the top 1% for me. Book now and did not look for other properties.
