Das Eigentum — Casa Lucia
Casa Lucia is a pared-back, 3-star property on a quiet street just off Piazza del Campo. The lobby feels like a small, well-kept family living room: tiled floors, a wooden reception desk, fresh flowers. It suits independent travellers who want a clean, central base without frills—think private room in a friend’s city apartment, not a boutique hotel.
Chroniken von Siena
Siena was founded by the Etruscans and flourished as a rival to Florence in the 13th–14th centuries. Its Gothic core, dominated by the fan-shaped Piazza del Campo, was built largely during this period. The Palazzo Pubblico and Torre del Mangia still define the city’s skyline. Today Siena is a UNESCO World Heritage site, balancing tourism with a living university population and strong local traditions—most visibly the Palio horse race.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Casa Lucia, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first or second floor overlooking the inner courtyard, away from the street. These tend to be quieter and more private.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms at the back of the ground floor, which can be damp and dark, and those directly facing the main street at any level due to traffic noise.
Best views
Rooms on the upper floors (2nd and above) facing the courtyard may offer partial views of Siena's rooftops and the Duomo in the distance.
Quietest floors
Floors 1 and 2, especially rooms with courtyard views, are the quietest options.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel is on a main road in Siena, so street noise from scooters and traffic is constant, particularly on the front side. The internal courtyard is much quieter but can still catch echo from other guests.
Insider tips
Ask reception for a room on the quieter courtyard side — they're often happy to oblige if available. Breakfast is served in a basement room, so don't expect views with your morning coffee.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Conad and Coop are the main budget supermarket chains in the historic centre and outskirts.

Eat and drink away from Piazza del Campo and the Duomo front steps where prices jump. Buy water and picnic supplies at Conad or Coop rather than tourist shops. Visit churches and museums during the free first Sunday of the month (if open) or get the Siena Card for combined entry if seeing multiple sites.

Florence Airport (FLR) → Comfort Siena Design Apartment (Siena Station)

Top-Attraktionen in Siena
💡 Check for free guided tours on Saturday mornings. The reliquary containing her head is eerie but fascinating.
💡 Bring a picnic. It's less busy than the main parks. Paths can be steep — wear flat shoes.
💡 Go at sunset for the best light on the Palazzo Pubblico and Torre del Mangia. Early morning it's almost empty.
💡 Entry is €12 but the 'Porta del Cielo' rooftop tour costs extra. Go on a Sunday for free Mass entry — you still see the interior.
💡 Free on the first Sunday of each month. Otherwise €9. The underground 'sacred tunnels' are the highlight, not the modern art wing.
