Services

This monastery is operated by the Frati Minori Conventuali.

Adjoining the grand 13th century San Francesco Basilica, the guest areas have undergone renovation to provide simply presented rooms.

Breakfast is not included in the price.

Features

The venue has a beautiful renaissance cloister connecting it to the neighboring San Francesco Basilica. The Frati Minori believe in a simple and non luxurious life style and as such run this guest house as the priests have always lived.

Getting Around

Located in the medieval heart of Siena's city center. City with easy access. Well located for walking to city center and attractions. Public transport to central and surrounding locations is also nearby.  

History

The house was originally built for the priests of the San Francesco Basilica.

	I didn't know that this was the Basilica until I arrived. It was a special place and the priests were very nice (and spoke English).
Susan - NJ, United States (April 2023)

	We enjoyed our stay very much. Everyone was nice.The priest was very kind and accommodating.
lynn - NC, United States (May 2022)

	It was a privilege to stay in this ancient monastery and to attend early morning Mass with the three Friars. The accommodation is simple but there is everything we needed as pilgrims on the Via Francigena. The three Friars are kind but do not speak English (and we do not speak Italian) so our welcome was courteous but limited.
Nicholas - , United Kingdom (March 2022)

	It was room and bathroom only and no meal options - which is exactly what I needed. It was relaxing, quiet, great location. Room very simple as expected but clean and bathroom clean and relatively new. I would stay here again. Not easy to locate anyone if you have any questions but you can phone them.
Claire - NSW, Australia (June 2019)

	So well located.
Denis - Quebec, Canada (May 2019)

	This is a simple, quiet place which is very central. Ideal for independent travellers.
Elizabeth - N/A, United Kingdom (September 2018)

	For low-maintenance types, this monastery is ideal! If you need a lot of attention, then it will not be as pleasing, but for us, such a location inside the city walls of Siena, can't be beat!
Eric - CA, United States (November 2017)

	Great location and very quiet, lovely peaceful room with high window out onto cloister. Unfortunately no breakfast but cafes very close-by offering coffee and croissants at a good price meant this wasn't a problem.
Elizabeth - Devon, United Kingdom (September 2015)

	It was off-season; we were the only guests. Perhaps for that reason, finding a brother was sometimes not easy, though they were uniformly helpful when available. Little English is spoken. No breakfast is served, but inexpensive tea/coffee and pastries are available at several places within a short walk. The showers were the best we've ever had in Italy. I'd strongly recommend not trying to drive to the convent! Drop your rental car off and take a cab - they can legally go where you can't, and know how to do it. The streets of Siena within the walls were not designed for cars. The location is excellent - off the major streets, which are crowded and noisy, but within a short walk to the center.
