Palazzo Coli Bizzarrini

Our suite consisted of a very large living and dining room, with the spectacularly painted, coffered ceiling one would expect in a Renaissance Palazzo; a large bedroom - with an equally ornate ceiling, and a very comfortable bed with lovely linens; a well-equipped kitchen that includes a clothes washer; and a very modern bathroom. The pictures are completely accurate. The Palazzo is extremely convenient for all Siena’s sites. Il Campo, the Duomo and the other Basilicas are easy walks. There are endless numbers of great restaurants, coffee shops, pastry and gelato shops within feet of the front door. This is a very old building, with a small number of apartments, so it doesn’t have all the amenities of a large hotel. But if you like the idea of living in quiet grandeur, this is the place. And it has excellent tv and WiFi service, and powerful air conditioning, which was important when the outside temperature pushed 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Parking is not super convenient, but it’s manageable. We found the location of the hotel and the charm to far outweigh what for us was a minor inconvenience of parking. We want to complete the review by mentioning Michelle, who manages the facility wonderfully. She gave excellent advice on restaurants, festivals, opera performances and tourist sites. Michelle is a gem. We liked this place so much we extended our stay and would love to come back.

This olace was amazing. The old style was really great!! Such a great location and very friendly staff. The apartment was HUGE!! I woukd stay here again in a heartbeat. Only downside was no 24h front desk and hotel isn’t easy to find due to hardly any signs outside. The rest was simply great! Parking ended up being free (but approx 1.5km away). I’d stay here next time again for sure.

Hard to review this place. On one hand, the location is ideal. Easy walk to the center of town or to the train station. The presidential suite is a huge one bedroom apartment with a large galley kitchen. Built in 1527, it looks more like a museum than hotel suite..BUT...it is more of an apartment than hotel. No front desk so you have to arrange to be met for check in. Nobody to help you make tour or travel arrangements, no coffee maker, things you'd expect in a hotel. Very picturesque but not very practical.

Michelle was extremely helpful, we had a great stay!

Absolutely stunning accommodation. Palatial.

The Palazzo Coli Bizzarini, exceeded our expectations, even after being dazzled by the webpage photos. Michelle was amazing in greeting and assisting us, and always was ready to help. Our apartment was huge and as beautiful as the pictures suggested. I didn't measure, but the bedroom must have been at least 12 ft by 16 ft, and the sitting room an astonishing 16 x 20 or more, with sofa, arm chair, coffee table, dining table and several side pieces. Add in a full kitchen and a spacious bathroom, and it was a place in which a couple could easily live long-term. Having a lift was a great advantage. The location is absolutely ideal -- not only within the historic centre, but literally across from the bus station. The bus is the best option for getting to and from Siena, and this convenience was invaluable. Some of the best restaurants in Siena are a short walk away. The prices are very reasonable given the value received. I hope to stay here again.

Huge, comfortable, clean, well equipped apartment in good location with opening windows. Michelle at reception is happy and helpful and changed towels after 2 days. We used WhatsApp to contact her during our stay with prompt reply always. Washing machine was great but use short cycle or it will take hours! We arrived from Florence by train and went to taxi stand but you need to ring the listed number to order taxi so a local rang and ordered a couple of taxis for people who were waiting. When returning to Florence we found it more convenient to walk to the bus which is very close to apartment, quicker and cheaper than train. In Florence the bus and train stations are opposite each other. Also used bus to have the day in San Gimignano.

We felt as if we were staying in a palace. The room was exactly as described but better!

Amazing Siena view from Penthouse suite. Plenty of room in historic building. Our host Michelle fabulous.

What a charming place! Wish I could live in the apartment permanently. Conveniently located and great service.
