B&B Il Corso"I had a wonderful stay at B&B Il Corso! The room was clean, comfortable, and perfectly located right in the heart of Siena.

Villa del Sole Siena"The hotel is in a great spot approx 300m behind the main Piazza. Good view if you have one of the rooms at the front. Breakfast was a little limited and the wait for fresh eggs was over 10 minutes. However, the scrambled and fried eggs were good as was the quality of the rest of the products. The bed was very comfy.
