B&B Pantaneto Palazzo Bulgarini

My colleague and I spent 11 days in Siena, partly a professional conference and partly fun. This hidden gem B&B was only a few minutes’ walk from either historical sites in the center or the university. The two-room setup (plus private bath) provided each of us with a large comfortable bed that would easily have accommodated a couple. If we had been a larger group, there is also a full-sized pull-out bed in the living room couch. Our hosts were warm, charming, and generous. On request, they immediately provided an additional table for our books, papers, and lap-tops; also an iron for our professional clothes; and access to the breakfast-room refrigerator for my special dietary needs. We loved that the building was five centuries old (marble floors, tall windows, brick walls, high ceilings, frescoes), but with modern conveniences. The view across fields and gardens to a distant palazzo was breathtaking. Glorious sunup and sunset. Ample breakfast was also available for a small additional charge.
