The Hotel Palazzo Ravizza is an upper-middle-range hotel
in the center of Siena that was built in the 19th-century as a family residence. The hotel has a private parking lot on-site, a
rarity in the area. There’s a small bar and a tasty breakfast is included. The 37 rooms are furnished to reflect a 1920s' style, and they're plenty charming, with details such as wood-beam ceilings, chandeliers, and antique furnishings, but some are showing a bit of wear. Guests
recommend paying extra to stay in the rooms with the gorgeous views of the
Italian hillside. There's no restaurant on-site, but the nearby Hotel
Athena has modern rooms, a rooftop bar, and a full restaurant.

Scene
Historic hotel with beautiful outdoor garden
The Hotel Palazzo Ravizza is a four-story brick building with green shutters and a beautiful gravel, garden area out back. Wicker chairs with bistro tables offer guests a place to sit among the trees and shrubs and take in views of the Italian countryside. There’s also a big outdoor dining area for enjoying the tasty breakfast. The hotel was turned into a pensione in the 1920s and still reflects a classic style with vaulted ceilings, heavy wooden furnishings, and portraits with gilded frames.
