Duddova accommodation from AU$193

Excellent place. Beautiful garden view toward the town’s center.

My husband and I enjoyed our 2 night stay at Palazzo Ravizza very much. We arrived in Siena, our first Tuscan stop, at the train station around 4 pm. The hotel is not walkable from the station and calling an Uber wasn’t as simple as other cities but via the Uber app, a taxi did come. By car, the hotel was a short ride on a busy road, then through one of the old gates where it turned into windy, narrow streets. The hotel itself is very pretty and has the look and feel of an old house with bookcases everywhere. I’d love to know the history, it was almost certainly a house and even had what looked like family portraits everywhere. Check in was quick and easy. We were on the second floor with a beautiful view of the garden. If we’d had more time it would have been a lovely spot for a glass of wine. We did carry our breakfast out there one morning and my husband enjoyed several cups of coffee in the early peaceful morning. The center of town is a short walk down a hill then you’re into the windy, historic streets we came for. We had a king bed that was SO comfortable. Perfectly firm. Opening the windows in the night was really nice even if the birds were loud. Breakfast was great and typical with some added savory pastries. A ham and cheese and a spinach which was delicious. It was no problem to get a glass of ice for my Diet Coke - I always buy one in town the evening before. 5 STARS and I’d love to stay here again! Including pics:)

Best breakfast buffet in our Italy travels! Warm welcome. Excellent reception. Well spoken English. Very close to train station - just take all the escalators up! Nice room with charming bathroom.
