ANTICA RESIDENZA CICOGNA, Siena

The B&B is on a quiet street just off the main square, placing all key attractions within a 5-10 minute walk: Piazza del Campo, San Cristoforo Church (200 m), the National Museum of Etruscan Archaeology, and the Duomo (about 10 minutes on foot). Florence Airport is 75 km away. The area is pedestrian-only, so arriving by car requires using a garage or valet service - the staff can provide free parking directions to a lot on Viale Vittorio Veneto. Public transport stops are nearby, and the property is well positioned for walking tours, pub crawls, and bike exploration.

Each room features a private bathroom with shower, bidet, hairdryer, and free toiletries. Amenities include a flat-screen TV, electric kettle, wardrobe, and heating. Double rooms sleep 1-2 guests; a twin room is available for two separate beds. Larger suites offer separate living areas and can accommodate up to 3-4 people (suites have 2 bedrooms/1 bathroom or 1 living room + 1 bedroom). Air conditioning is efficient, and rooms on the quieter street side reduce noise for better sleep. The Liberty Room and frescoed suites are particularly noted for their decor and space. No elevator is available, so rooms on higher floors involve stairs.

Breakfast includes a daily changing menu with fresh fruit, yoghurt, baked goods, meats, cheeses, and a choice of espresso or cappuccino. Continental, Italian, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are all available. The breakfast lounge on each floor also offers complimentary water, tea, and biscotti throughout the day. For other meals, numerous restaurants and cafés are within a 5-minute walk - the staff provide a curated list of recommended local eateries. No dinner service is offered at the property.

There is no pool, spa, or gym on the property. For relaxation, each floor has a spacious lounge with seating, water, and biscotti - ideal for resting after a day of sightseeing. Bike tours and pub crawls are available for an additional charge. Temporary art galleries and live music can be found off-site. Cyclists can use a dedicated bike storage room, especially useful during events like Strade Bianche.

Wi-Fi is free and accessible in all areas. Daily housekeeping is included. Luggage storage is available for free, allowing guests to explore after check-out.
