Das Eigentum — Dievole
Dievole is a sprawling farm estate in the Chianti wine region about 12 miles north-east of Siena. Standing in the lobby – an airy stone barn with exposed beams and scent of woodsmoke – you feel removed from city bustle, more like a guest at a working winery. The three-star rating reflects modest rooms rather than luxury, but the setting (vineyards, olive groves, a pool) and included breakfast swing the value. It suits travellers who want a quiet, rural base with a pool and do not mind driving to Siena’s centre.
Chroniken von Siena
Siena was founded by the Etruscans (c. 900–400 BCE) as a hilltop settlement, then became a Roman town called Saena Julia. Its medieval golden age peaked between the 12th and 14th centuries as a rival to Florence, governed by the Council of Nine – a merchant oligarchy that built the Palazzo Pubblico and the vast, scallop-shaped Piazza del Campo. The 1348 Black Death halved the population and ended Siena’s expansion, freezing the city’s Gothic urban fabric. Today that preserved medieval core – narrow alleys, terracotta brick, the Duomo’s black-and-white marble – makes Siena a UNESCO World Heritage site, fiercely proud of its contrade (neighbourhood districts) and the bareback Palio horse race.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Dievole, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first floor (European first, which is one above ground) facing the inner courtyard or garden. These rooms get more natural light and avoid street noise from the narrow Sienese lanes.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms backing onto the service or parking areas—they can be dark and may get early-morning kitchen noise. Also avoid rooms directly above the entrance lobby if the hotel has a bar or restaurant on site.
Best views
Rooms overlooking the hotel's private garden or the Tuscan countryside (depending on orientation) offer the best view. Siena's skyline is visible from upper floors if the hotel is on a hill.
Quietest floors
First and second floors (the building is likely 2–3 storeys) are quietest, away from both street level and any rooftop terrace activity.
🔊 Noise notes
3-star hotels in Siena's centre or outskirts may have noise from delivery vans in the morning (07:00–09:00) and lingering evening chatter from the bar if open to non-guests.
Insider tips
1) If driving, request a reserved parking space in advance—Siena's limited parking can be a headache. 2) Ask for a room away from the breakfast buffet area if you sleep late, as setup noise starts around 07:30.
- 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

Use ATMs inside actual banks for best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at Il Campo or near the Duomo as they charge high commissions and poor rates.

Head to the area around Piazza del Mercato or Via dei Rossi for cheap slices, focaccia, and lampredotto from food stalls and small bakeries.
Conad and Coop are the common budget supermarkets; both have small city-centre branches on Via dei Termini and Via dei Gazzani.
Check the weekly market at La Lizza on Wednesday mornings for decent basics and footwear at fair prices.

Buy bus tickets before boarding at a tabacchi (€1.80 vs €3.00 on board). Eat lunch at a bar counter rather than a table. Buy a reusable water bottle and refill at the public fountains (fontanine) free around town.

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.
