We made a somewhat last minute booking for a night in Siena and really felt we did very well by finding Il Barbero. It turned out to be a third floor apartment that's been converted into a 3 room B&B. By prearrangement, we arrived in the morning, planning to leave our luggage and look around Siena. This worked well, since the host is on the property during the morning hours to serve breakfast and service the rooms. The host is not present in the evening (you have to make arrangements to get the key if arriving in the evening), but that didn't feel at all problematic.
Our room was recently refurbished in contemporary style, immaculately clean, and had a terrific shower. We didn't use the television, so can't comment on that. It was a very quiet and comfortable night.
The breakfast is a buffet with many choices, including home cooked cake and pie. More savory options included cereal, cold meat, rolls, cheese, and fruit. Sara (the host) was very helpful and informative about Siena and the local area.
Overall, we couldn't have asked for better.
