A hotel in the middle of Siena city, Italy

Albergo Chiusarelli, Siena

This comfortable three-star hotel in Siena is conveniently located in the heart of the historic city centre. Housed in an ornate historic building in the Italian neo-classical style dating from the late 19th century, the Albergo Chiusarelli offers guests a comfortable, welcoming base for a sightseeing tour of this wonderful Renaissance city. Siena has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to its wealth of beautifully preserved medieval and Renaissance architecture. The city surrounds the glorious shell-shaped Piazza del Campo where the legendary Palio horse race is held twice yearly, and all around are historic buildings, fine churches and some very good art galleries.

Albergo Chiusarelli has 49 cosy rooms, all with en-suite bathroom facilities (with a choice between a shower or bath), all with direct-dial telephone, cable television, internet point, personal safe and air conditioning. Some rooms have lovely views over Siena's rooftops and others face onto an open green park. Pets are welcome to join you in your hotel room and a generous continental-style breakfast is served on the large, attractive verandah. The hotel has an excellent restaurant, the Chiusarelli, which serves a menu of carefully chosen Tuscan dishes for lunch and dinner. There is also a relaxing bar with a comprehensive drinks list and friendly service and guests are welcome to stroll around in the pretty gardens, which feature an outdoor play area for the children.

There is a 24-hour service on reception and hotel staff will be pleased to organise excursions or activities on your behalf or make travel reservations for you. Other amenities include an internet point for sending and receiving emails including digital photos of your visit here; a safe-deposit facility; photocopying; and bicycles are available to hire.
