The bed and breakfast was established in the medieval ancestral palace of the Cicogna family, my ancestors. Each room is adorned with original late 19th-century frescoes and antique furnishings. At the Antica Residenza Cicogna, you will always be greeted with a smile from those who love their work. It is exciting to host travelers from around the world and share tips and information about our land of Siena!
Breakfast buffet is prepared in the morning from 8 to 10 a.m. It is a moment to which we dedicate a particular care. We offer cereals, cakes and sweets, yoghurt, rusks, fresh bread, salamis, cheese, jam and marmalade, “nutelline”(chocolate cream spread), honey, fruit juice, fresh fruit and some typical Sienese sweets; milk, coffee, cappuccino, chocolate and various types of tea are prepared by the hosts who will be at your disposal for advice about what to see and other practical information, or simply for a friendly morning chat.

Corte room - Bedroom with a smaller double bed, overlooking on an internal courtyard. This is the most “Tuscan” of the rooms and is the only one to have the typical wooden-beamed ceiling with the bed in the so called “grandmother” style made of red wrought iron and the outline of a once-existing window discovered during the refurbishment.
Liberty room - Frescoed room with a double bed. Totally frescoed with patterns of the “Art Nouveau” period and furnished in the same style The magical atmosphere of this room is enhanced by an 18th century style four-poster bed forged by the able blacksmiths of Pienza. It is possible to add a third bed.
Angel room - Its name is due to the fresco depicting an Angel woman, flying over the skies of Siena, whose ancient profile can be seen in the background The delicate decoration of an ivy crown was found and recovered under the sill of the large window. The two wrought iron beds, expertly restored, can be joined into a double bed. It has a bathroom in shades of blue.
Leoni room - A double bedroom with a double bed. We can add a third bed on request. Frescoed ceiling and walls. So called because of the 18th century frescoes on the ceiling depicting a series of pairs of lions, brought to light during the refurbishment. The bed is made of wrought iron designed to resemble the models of the able 18th century blacksmiths of Pienza (an enchanting medieval town to the south of Siena). The bedroom is endowed with a splendid (non-functioning) fireplace which was discovered and restored during the refurbishment.
Paesaggi Suite - A comfortable room with frescos on the ceiling composed by two rooms and one bathroom can accommodate 3 or 4 people. It owes its name to the beautiful ceiling of the first of the two rooms of which it is composed, in which four countryside and seaside landscapes are depicted This room, which contains a comfortable sofa-bed, leads into a room with a hand-forged wrought iron bed. The walls are decorated with geometric designs, like stylized papyrus, in shades of green and yellow. A small door leads to the large en-suite bathroom covered with Vietri tiles.
The “Antica Residenza Cicogna” owes its name to the Cicogna family who had lived there for two centuries using it as a winter residence till the Second World War, when the house was devoted to the poor. Then the building was divided and let for various purposes.
In 2004 Elisa, descendant of the Cicogna family, has decided to bring the residence of her ancestors back to its previous state and with her mother Cecilia (daughter of Maria Cicogna) supervised personally the refurbishment works day by day, thus guaranteeing the authenticity and respect of the historical references.
Located in the heart of the historic center, just a few steps away from our bed and breakfast, you will find the most important monuments of Siena: Piazza del Campo with the Torre del Mangia and the Civic Museum, the Duomo and its museum, Santa Maria della Scala, the National Art Gallery, the Botanical Garden, the Academy of Fisiocritici (a natural history museum).. and then get lost in the alleys of Siena that offer surprising views.
