The marital home of tragic Pia dei Tolomei, immortalised in Dante's Divine Comedy, this pension in a 13th-century palazzo (mansion) just off Piazza Garibaldi is run by the charming Costanza, who goes out of her way to make guests feel at home. One spacious and well equipped room is on offer, providing extremely comfortable accommodation. No breakfast.
