GRAND HOTEL CONTINENTAL, SIENA

A Luxurious Retreat in Siena’s Architectural Treasure, Italy
GRAND HOTEL CONTINENTAL

Historic Palazzo Gori Pannilini

Walk along the Via Banchi di Sopra and prepare to wonder. The Grand Hotel Continental is an absolutely magnificent building, even by the high standards of Siena. A true jewel in the city’s architectural treasure trove, the Palazzo Gori Pannilini – as it was known in the 17th century – was considered glorious enough by Pope Alexander VII to make a fitting wedding present for his niece Olimpia.

As you’ll discover, the grandeur remains to this day. High, arched and decorated ceilings, grand lintels, priceless furniture and refined marble provide the most magnificent backdrop to a wealth of exceptional frescoes, original paintings and carefully chosen sculptures. The opulence continues into the guest rooms too. So you can expect décor that includes silver inlaid mirrors, travertine marble bathrooms and rich silks.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”
This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.

“EXCELLENT SAFARI IN REMOTE ZAMBIA”

We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.

“MONGOLIA STOLE MY HEART – A JOURNEY I’ll NEVER FORGET”
It was one of the best trips of my life. The itinerary you crafted for us was absolutely perfect; I wouldn’t have changed a thing. What made it even more special was the incredible team who looked after us. Edda was fantastic, and the two drivers we had for the Orkhon Valley and Gobi sections of the trip were possibly the best I’ve ever had.
