A getaway in Siena is a journey in the medieval world of the Italian City-States as well as in the time of human-size towns, away from today’s frantic rhythms. A stay at Palazzo Ravizza, historic hotel of Siena since 1924, is a leap into the past: still managed by the same family, hotel Ravizza has mantained not only the style and classic ambiance of a heritage hotel but also the atmosphere of an elegant and welcoming private home. Located in the historic centre of Siena close to the Cathedral and providing private parking on site, Palazzo Ravizza is a convenient base to see and live the city and to take heritage day trips and food and wine tours to the surrounding countryside of Chianti, Val d’Orcia and Crete Senesi, as well as to visit the famous hilltowns like Pienza, San Gimignano, Montepulciano and many others. The rooms of Palazzo Ravizza reflect the character and style of an old time mansion: all different in size and furnishings they maintain the original setting of the 1920’s home with the necessary renovations for modern accomodation. The rooms facing the garden on the rear side of the Palazzo have made this Siena hotel particularly renowed among anglosaxons and those romantics who have a predilection for the room with a view style hotels. Instead, the rooms on the front of the hotel, are larger and often more elegant, particularly after the recent restoration of the 19th century wall and ceiling decorations.
