Very unique, old building with Renaissance charm. Opportunity to enjoy old time luxury. Very well decorated and close to many charming restaurants. The town is very walkable. The owner and property manager are very friendly and live on-site, making themselves accessible. The only negative was the small shower, but it turned out to be acceptable.

The apartment was beautiful and had a great kitchen. Michele was very accommodating and even walked to help guide us through the inner city to get to the apt. The only downfall was the shower/toilet area combination. It is difficult to navigate a wet floor after someone showers.

What a beautiful stay in a 1527 converted palazzo into 11 apartments. The location in Siena was superlative and the care that Michele offered and assisted with was exceptional. We will be sure to come back and stay at Coli Bizzarrini.

Very nice location and very nice room! Feels like staying in a palace. Only minor issue was that water pump is pretty noisy, of course it is not always on only when you are flushing the toilet or taking a shower. Very comfy bed!

This is a wonderful place to stay in Siena-- especially with a family. The apartment was HUGE! Walking distance to everything! The only negative was the AC. We were in Siena during a heat wave and the AC unit only cools down the main living room-- not bedrooms, kitchen or bath.

We had booked a room with a jetted tub and an Italian theme. At check in we were told there had been a booking error and we were be "upgraded". What we got instead of thr jetted tub was a very small shower stall. Rather than having an Italian ambiance the room was an eclectic mix of furnishings with some African touches. It was very disappointing. We had been looking forward to an Italian styled accommodation.

A true palazzo
Our suite consisted of a very large living and dining room, with the spectacularly painted, coffered ceiling one would expect in a Renaissance Palazzo; a large bedroom - with an equally ornate ceiling, and a very comfortable bed with lovely linens; a well-equipped kitchen that includes a clothes washer; and a very modern bathroom. The pictures are completely accurate. The Palazzo is extremely convenient for all Siena’s sites. Il Campo, the Duomo and the other Basilicas are easy walks. There are endless numbers of great restaurants, coffee shops, pastry and gelato shops within feet of the front door. This is a very old building, with a small number of apartments, so it doesn’t have all the amenities of a large hotel. But if you like the idea of living in quiet grandeur, this is the place. And it has excellent tv and WiFi service, and powerful air conditioning, which was important when the outside temperature pushed 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Parking is not super convenient, but it’s manageable. We found the location of the hotel and the charm to far outweigh what for us was a minor inconvenience of parking. We want to complete the review by mentioning Michelle, who manages the facility wonderfully. She gave excellent advice on restaurants, festivals, opera performances and tourist sites. Michelle is a gem. We liked this place so much we extended our stay and would love to come back.

Beautiful historic building in great location!
This olace was amazing. The old style was really great!! Such a great location and very friendly staff. The apartment was HUGE!! I woukd stay here again in a heartbeat. Only downside was no 24h front desk and hotel isn’t easy to find due to hardly any signs outside. The rest was simply great! Parking ended up being free (but approx 1.5km away). I’d stay here next time again for sure.

Hard to review this place. On one hand, the location is ideal. Easy walk to the center of town or to the train station. The presidential suite is a huge one bedroom apartment with a large galley kitchen. Built in 1527, it looks more like a museum than hotel suite..BUT...it is more of an apartment than hotel. No front desk so you have to arrange to be met for check in. Nobody to help you make tour or travel arrangements, no coffee maker, things you'd expect in a hotel. Very picturesque but not very practical.

Stay in a 16th century jewel in a historic city.
The Palazzo Coli Bizzarini, exceeded our expectations, even after being dazzled by the webpage photos. Michelle was amazing in greeting and assisting us, and always was ready to help. Our apartment was huge and as beautiful as the pictures suggested. I didn't measure, but the bedroom must have been at least 12 ft by 16 ft, and the sitting room an astonishing 16 x 20 or more, with sofa, arm chair, coffee table, dining table and several side pieces. Add in a full kitchen and a spacious bathroom, and it was a place in which a couple could easily live long-term. Having a lift was a great advantage. The location is absolutely ideal -- not only within the historic centre, but literally across from the bus station. The bus is the best option for getting to and from Siena, and this convenience was invaluable. Some of the best restaurants in Siena are a short walk away. The prices are very reasonable given the value received. I hope to stay here again.

spacious and comfortable apartment
Huge, comfortable, clean, well equipped apartment in good location with opening windows. Michelle at reception is happy and helpful and changed towels after 2 days. We used WhatsApp to contact her during our stay with prompt reply always. Washing machine was great but use short cycle or it will take hours! We arrived from Florence by train and went to taxi stand but you need to ring the listed number to order taxi so a local rang and ordered a couple of taxis for people who were waiting. When returning to Florence we found it more convenient to walk to the bus which is very close to apartment, quicker and cheaper than train. In Florence the bus and train stations are opposite each other. Also used bus to have the day in San Gimignano.

Michelle was marvellous from when we booked in to when we checked out, even calling a taxi for us. Staying here was an experience of the history of the building and the personal touches in the decoration. Small lift to take your bags up so no carrying up stairs. Beds were comfortable. Michelle showed us some other parts of the Palazzo and it was amazing. This building is a treasure. Got a very good insight to how the upper class lived in the 16th century. Would stay again for the experience.

Bedbugs!
Let me start for the reason of my somewhat low review for hotel Palazzo Coli Bizzarrini. We reserved the two bedroom Penthouse for four nights. Our bedrooms had bedbugs! We changed rooms after the first night to another, smaller two bedroom apartment. After our stay, we suspect this other room had bedbugs as well. We happened to be in town (not planned) for the Palio. As a result, there were loud noises until 3:30am outside of our room. Our new room also had a broken toilet where the water was constantly running. After trying to contact the hotel receptionist with the toilet issue with no response, we were somewhat blamed for not informing the receptionist with the toilet problem. Although our host quickly moved us to another room, we were not offered any compensation for moving to another, smaller room as a result of bedbugs. Our host is very nice. But we believe more could have been done for this huge inconvenience.

We stayed in this property for two nights and we fell in love with it. Amazing building with over 500 years of history. Very clean and spacious apartments with all amenities. The only downside was the bed which was not comfortable. I highly recommend this place and it’s friendly staff (Michelle) who was absolutely helpful and courteous.

Siena stay
Good location 5-7 min walk from Il Campo and all major city sites. 4 person family stayed 3 nts. Place was clean, no A/C, no window screens and some street noise even though we were on top floor. We ate out all the time so did not use small kitchen. Overall certainly acceptable for the price.

Siena stopover
Such a unique setting in the center of Siena. We had a very large suite that could comfortably accommodate 6 ( using a pull out sofa) Somewhat challenging to find as it is not reachable by auto. However, Michele walked us through the entire process to find a private car park nearby and was diligent in following up to make sure we had a great experience Rooms were immaculate and spacious. We had Suote 10 which was not directly accessible by elevator so if you are traveling with large bags it might be Difficult. Overall we are definitely recommending Palazzo Coli Bizzarini for travelers looking for a unique historic venue

This accommodation is literally in a 16th century palace with many of the original features including frescoed ceilings. We felt like we were staying in our own little museum. Never stayed anywhere like this before, Everything about this accommodation was superb. Well appointed kitchen. The lady in charge couldn't have been more helpful.

Luxurious apartment in the heart of Sienna
Excellent apartment, has everything you need, perfect location in minutes walk to the central plaza, very friendly English speaking staff. However it is better to arrive there without a car for the following reasons: 1. It is hard to find the property driving the car, navigation gives you confusing directions because it is located in pedestrian area. 2. They only have a paid parking option, which is 27 Euro for a day and the garage is not by the property, so the hostess had to meet us at the bus station nearby and escort to it.

Superb accomidation & location very helpful staff
Where to start ???!!! The location is great, whether you arrive by bus (3-5 minute walk from the terminal for buses from Florence) or car (10 minute walk from a large free parking site). The old city is at your doorstep-- 7-8 minute walk from the Campo, 10 minute walk from the Duomo. A supermarket, several restaurants, gelato shops etc.are minutes away. There is no traffic noise. The people noise was not troublesome at night. The accommodations are in the 500 year old palazzo of an old aristocratic family. Each suite is different and special in it's own way. The 3 we saw all oozed Old World charm-- we felt like we had gotten lost in a Fellini movie set. The manager, Michelle, was wonderful- always friendly, helpful, available- such a great host. The only reason we give this accommodation 5 stars, is that we can't figure out how to give it 6 or 7!!!!

Nice European Apartment
The apartment was more than we expected. The bedrooms were large and beds were comfortable. Bathroom was clean and had a decent amount of counter top space. The kitchen was nicely equipped and very clean. They provided dish soap. There is a small clothes washing machine in the kitchen. Was great for washing socks and such mid trip. They provide a clothes drying rack which I didn't mind at all. I don't think the washer would fit a pair of jeans but its good for small items. The couch in the living room is falling apart. I think its a hide a bed. Needs replacing. Getting to the apartment was a little interesting. Lots of steps and an elevator ride but we were up for it. Parking is a bit challenging. You have to park in a public lot and there are none close by. Hubby walked at least 15 walking distance away from the apartment. Sienna is beautiful! The Sienna Cathedral is breath taking. Make sure you buy tickets first to get in. Sienna's Piazza Del Campo is a must see too. All the restaurants are wonderful. Enjoy!
