Hotel Palazzetto Rosso, Siena
The Hotel Palazzetto Rosso boasts an excellent location, in the beating heart of Siena. This hotel boasts a wealth of history – it welcomed travelers as far back as the middle ages. Inside its vaulted stone walls and antiques (the current owner is an antique dealer) add to the impression of stepping back in time. But that doesn’t mean the hotel has skimped on modern amenities like top quality linens and smart TVs. Also, be sure to check out the hotel’s wine cellar, where you can indulge in some local wine tasting.
