The publication / About Due Ponti
A journal for Siena and the roads beyond
Independent guides for travellers who want a considered plan and time to explore.

What this publication is
Due Ponti is an English-language travel publication covering Siena and southern Tuscany. It is published on an acquired domain, palacehoteldueponti.com. We do not operate, represent or claim endorsement from Palace Hotel Due Ponti. We do not provide hotel reservations, reception services or customer support for that business.
Our focus is the traveller’s decision: how to structure a day, choose a base, compare visits and check the practical details. The publication is part of a portfolio of travel websites under common ownership.
Who prepares the guides
The Due Ponti Editorial Team byline identifies the publication’s research-led work. AI-assisted tools support drafting, design and production, followed by source and consistency checks. This byline does not imply that a named local expert, hotel inspector or travelling reporter personally visited every place described.
We link to museum operators, tourism authorities and other primary sources near relevant claims. A review date records the checks made for that page; it is not a guarantee that a service, opening time or price will remain unchanged.
Recommendations and photographs
Our suggested itineraries and comparison methods are editorial advice, not bookings or official access instructions. A commercial recommendation should be relevant to the reader’s decision and identify the material relationship. We do not sell placement disguised as a firsthand review.
The photographs are real, with source and reuse information recorded in the photo credits. Photographers are independent of the editorial team; their images do not imply endorsement of this publication. We do not use generated travel photographs.
Using the guides
Use our articles to decide what to investigate, then confirm your dates and requirements with the responsible provider. For accessibility, ask about the particular entrance, route, room or vehicle you will use. General descriptions cannot replace those details.
We have not yet established a public editorial contact form or newsletter service. The checklist is a simple browser tool, not a booking or observation-submission service.
