Hotel Alex, Siena

Hotel Alex, Siena - this comfortable three-star hotel makes a perfect base for discovering the city and the beautiful countryside without. This Siena hotel is just east of the 'centro storico' lying 50 metres from the Porta Pispini, one of the historic gates to the town. Stroll up through the medieval portal and you can swiftly be on the Piazza del Campo, at the heart of Siena.

This Siena hotel offers the perfect modern counterpart to the medieval beauty of the city. Furnished in classical Tuscan style, the hotel has double, triple and quadruple rooms, so is well set up for family parties. There are just 14 bedrooms here, each with minibar, telephone, air conditioning, bathroom with shower and toilet, and TV. The hotel has WiFi internet access, bicycle rental (the perfect way to enjoy the largely pedestrianised heart of Siena), and can arrange car hire should you need it. The hotel has a large terrace and bar, a TV room, safe and fax service, and the front desk staff are there to help you with an queries.

And there is so much to see in Siena. The Piazza del Campo of course, venue to the breathless twice yearly Palio horse race - the rest of the time it's a marvellous venue in which to simply sit, take a coffee or a cold beer and watch the world go by. See Siena's marvellous black and white marble layered cathedral, with superb frescoes within. The whole of the centre of medieval Siena is, in fact a UNESCO protected World Heritage Site - this Siena hotel puts it within strolling distance.
