Nestled inside Siena’s historic center, Hotel Italia is an intimate and elegant three-star property owned and operated by the Stasi family. The Stasis, a family with deep roots in Siena, has three generations of experience in hospitality. Originally a private residence, the property was converted into this fine hotel. It progressively refined its amenities and services over the years, blending the old and the new with the best traditional and modern flair.
Visitors are greeted in the lobby and bar by a beautiful new color scheme, rich wooden flooring, abundant light, and an array of lovely vintage chandeliers winking with the opulent glamor of the Dolce Vita and La Hollywood. The walls are lined with some photo art; imaginative re-workings of iconic photos that show Vespa scooters in the Italian tricolor, complete with some of Italy’s greats including Vittorio Gassman, Gina Lollobrigida, and a young Audrey Hepburn.
These areas are ideal for relaxing and are equipped with comfortable sofas, a large TV, and a large selection of books and magazines. The hotel’s Coffee Corner, which provides guests with free American-style coffee, is also located here and is the perfect spot for a quick morning wake-up.
Between May and September, guests can use the outdoor pool of the hotel’s sister, a four-star hotel located just 600 meters away.
In addition to its status as one of the prime locations from which to explore the classic cobblestone streets and architectural treasures of this beautiful and historic city, Hotel Italia is also a very popular stop-off for cycle tourists on the Classic Tuscany bike tour and makes an ideal stop for cyclists who are exploring this beautiful region of rolling hills and classic Tuscan countryside covered in traditional long lines of vineyards.
So, in short, Hotel Italia is where tradition meets comfort – and where both meet Siena.
