What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
All told, it’s a satisfying mix of Tuscan tradition and cutting-edge design.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Piazza del Campo is five minutes away on foot. The surrounding cobblestone alleys are lined with quiet wine bars and gelaterias.
The rooms
Rooms keep their original timber beams and painted friezes. Selected suites have freestanding glass cube bathrooms right in the center.
At the table
Breakfast is spread across a bright red design table under brick arches, and the vaulted enoteca pours Tuscan wines.
How it began
An antique dealer who once owned the palazzo set classical stone fragments into the walls beside the worn spiral staircase.
