Where you stay in Siena has everything to do with how you experience Siena. I have been to Siena before and stayed in a high end hotel within the walls of the city. It was a nice experience, so I returned almost 15 years later this November with my fiance’.<\/p>\n
This trip, I was BLOWN AWAY by our experience at Palazzo di Valli!! It does not feel like you are staying in a hotel, but more like being a guest of a fabulously wealthy uncle with a mansion in Tuscany. WOW. It all started with the warmest reception I have ever had in Italy (it reminded me of Ireland!). Next, he walked us to a private entrance for a room on the ground level that had a ceiling with the original exposed dark wood support beams with white plaster, just like you would see in movies. We even had a view of the Tuscan countryside from our bed! VERY romantic!! We felt like we had the place to ourselves as we watched a full moon rise over the distant hillside. The first thing I said to my fiance’ was that I wished we had booked Palazzo di Valli for more than 3 nights.<\/p>\n
We were also thrilled to discover that, while the hotel is outside of the walls of Siena, it is certainly not out of town in the countryside (as it looked to be on Google maps). We could walk to the Roman gate in 5-6 minutes and be at il Campo or the Duomo in 15 minutes. There are also good restaurants and pizza places within a block of the hotel if you don’t want to venture into the walled city.<\/p>\n
The bottom line is that I would feel like Palazzo di Valli was a great value if I paid TWICE what we paid to stay there, and I would even pay 3x what I was charged to have that experience again. Truthfully, I felt a little guilty to experience such a wonderful stay at that price (and I have spent most of my life on the road in sales). Just be sure to stay long enough that you can explore Siena AND relax with morning lattes or late afternoon wine on their huge patio. You will forget the rest of the world exists while staring out at the beautiful Tuscan valley laid out before you.<\/p><\/div>\n
