Your hotel in Siena

An unmissable Italian city, Siena deserves a stay all of its own, so many are the treasures it holds. Undoubtedly more restful than Florence, Siena offers an intimate setting and peaceful walks, far from the hustle and bustle of the big Italian cities. Embark on a typically Italian stay as soon as you have dropped your bags in a hotel in Tuscany, right in Siena city centre.

If there is one place not to miss, it is Piazza del Campo, the town's main square, from which Siena's 17 contrade extend. The sloping ground of the square and its curved shape will immediately plunge you into an artistic and unusual world. Continue to Siena Cathedral, adorned with blocks of white marble. Complete this visit with the Facciatone, the baptistery, the crypt and the Museo dell'Opera for a full picture of the beauty of this site.

The Santa Maria della Scala museum complex, opposite Siena Cathedral, is also worth a stop before you continue through the historic centre. There is nothing better than wandering the alleyways of Siena to discover the symbols of the town. With a typically Italian gelato in hand, admire the medieval districts, the fountains, the palaces, the tower houses and the setting so characteristic of Sienese architecture.

Don't miss the Basilica di San Domenico, the Basilica of Santa Maria dei Servi and the Fortezza Medicea either, if time allows. Finally, depending on the length of your stay, around Siena, the village of San Gimignano, the Abbey of Sant'Antimo and of course Florence will quench your thirst for culture.
