B&B LA FONTANINA, Siena

The B&B lies in one of the oldest parts of the city centre, inside the limited traffic zone. Most major attractions - including the National Picture Gallery (less than 1 minute), National Museum of Etruscan Archaeology, and Piazza del Campo - are all within an easy 5-minute walk. The property is 77 km from Florence Airport, and the bus station is a 10-minute walk away for arrivals from Florence. A covered, guarded car park ("il Campo") is 200 m away; a free car park (Tufi) with a shuttle every 15 minutes is also available. The immediate area is pedestrian-friendly and lined with eating and drinking options, making a car largely unnecessary for exploring Siena.

Choose from single, double, twin/double, or triple room types. All rooms have a private bathroom with a shower, bidet, hairdryer, and free toiletries; the Camera Tripla Comfort also features a bathtub and a separate shower cabin. Rooms are decorated with antique-style furniture and parquet floors, maintaining the historic character. Each room includes air conditioning, heating, a flat-screen TV, a kettle with tea/coffee, and complimentary chocolate. Some rooms also have a balcony. The shared kitchen is fully equipped with an oven, stovetop, dishwasher, dining table, and refrigerator. The triple room offers two separate beds, making it suitable for families.

Breakfast is available for an additional charge of €5 and is served at the café directly below the B&B. The voucher system grants you a choice of four free items - typically croissants, pastries, and a drink - while additional coffee or extras are available at reasonable prices. The café also functions as a pastry shop, offering excellent coffee and cakes in an authentic local setting. For other meals, the surrounding streets are lined with more than a dozen restaurants, osterias, and pizzerias within 0.5 km, including Osteria Boccon del Prete, Vineria Il Murello, and Pizzeria Le Principesse. A supermarket is a 5-minute walk away for self-catering supplies.

While there is no on-site pool, spa, or gym, the B&B's central position means major landmarks (Piazza del Campo, Duomo, National Picture Gallery) are within a short walk. The historic streets, local shops, and dozens of restaurants and bars form the primary leisure setting. The shared kitchen and communal areas also offer a space for relaxation between sightseeing.

The property offers a lift from street level to the second-floor B&B, making luggage access easy.
