Palazzo dei Cecchi, dating back to the 15th century, stands in the heart of Siena’s historic centre, on the elegant Via di Pantaneto – once part of the Via Francigena and just steps from the iconic Piazza del Campo.

Over the centuries, the building underwent significant transformations, culminating in the 18th century when it acquired its present aristocratic appearance, reflecting the refined European taste of the time.

The Piano Nobile was designed for receptions and grand occasions, welcoming prominent figures visiting Siena during their Grand Tour or attending the renowned international hunting events, a tradition dating back to the governance of Violante of Bavaria.

At the centre of these gatherings was the ballroom, where a dedicated gallery hosted the orchestra. The surrounding reception rooms welcomed high-ranking guests. The interiors are richly adorned with rocaille-style stuccowork, echoing French and Austrian decorative trends.

Via di Pantaneto takes its name from pantano – referring to the straw and mud once spread across the paving stones to soften the sound of horses and carriages, ensuring peace for the noble families living there.

With a floor area of approximately 700 sqm, Palazzo dei Cecchi offers a compelling blend of period elegance and modern comfort – a rare opportunity in one of Siena’s most desirable locations, ideal for exploring the city’s architecture, museums and heritage.
