Palazzo Accarigi

Palazzo Accarigi apartment is situated on the Second floor of the 14th century «Palazzo Accarigi» .
The apartment has been completely renovated and restored in 2014 by masters and decorated using made in Italy materials of the highest quality together with antiques. The apartment is 40 sqm: there is a bedroom; a kitchen corner, dining and lounge areas with a big window overlooking Piazza Il Campo and a bathroom. The apartment is just perfect for a couple and as bridal suite.
The parquet made of wood block of bay oak is all over the apartment. Both of the rooms have a big window facing Piazza Il Campo, facing on “la mossa” (the most important part of the Palio: the starting and the arrival of the contradas). From both of the windows, you can enjoy the timeless beauty of Piazza Il Campo and of Il Mangia Tower. Because of these two big windows, the apartment is full of natural light. The apartment restoration has involved the best local masters, of different arts. The paintings, hidden for a long time, have been uncovered only during the recent restoration. These ancient-original old mural paintings are everywhere in the apartment: on the ceilings, and, hand-painted with ancient lime, on the walls.  Particularly suggestive are the grotesque: Cupid, dragons and others fascinating anthropomorphic drawings, representing fantastic creatures. The furniture is antique; the upholstery is of rich fabrics (silk for the sofa “Luigi Filippo”, linen for drapes at the window and for the chairs). The kitchen corner, made of solid wood oak, has a modern induction hob, oven, mini-bar with a small freezer. The upholstery is of the highest quality: silk for the baldaquin and for the headboard, damask steel for the curtains. Two antique capitals serve as night tables. The antique closet has been lacquered from an expert artist decorator using an old technique. Both of the windows have been replaced with new windows made of hardwood. The old antique windows have been changed in order to have the best noise - cancelling you can find (so that one can sleep well there even during the extremely noisy days of Palio). The bathroom is made of the best materials and bathroom fixture. The walls and the walls shower are covered with Sienise travertine and with a marble said botticino. In addition, the round sink bowl and the piece of furniture are made of original Sienise travertine stone. The shower has glass doors and a modern and large showerhead. The Palazzo is in a ZTL (Limited traffic zone / controlled traffic zone) a restricted traffic zone strictly controlled by municipal police and by a network of video cameras. Given this reason, it is not possible to get to the Palazzo by car. If you are coming by car, you have to leave it in one of the parking lot.
Given the fact that Siena is a hilltown where you have to going up and coming down all the time and where you have many stairs and narrow streets everywhere, is uncomfortable to walk while carrying your luggage. Once you get to Siena, we strongly recommend you to call a taxi which can leave you just on front the Palazzo. There is not air conditioning. The apartment is on the second floor without lift (46 steps). All of Siena at your doorstep! The Palazzo is just next to everything: museums, Historical Palazzi, Cathedral; restaurants, bars, shops, western-union, banks, taxi station, drugstores, automatic tellers, hairdressers, beauty centres etc.
