Das Eigentum — Fattoria di Mugnano
Fattoria di Mugnano is a working farmhouse turned hotel, set in olive groves and vineyards about 8 km north of Siena’s historic core. The atmosphere is rustic and quiet, with terracotta floors, stone archways, and a small pool overlooking the hills. There’s no grand lobby — you check in at a wooden desk in a country sitting room with mismatched armchairs and a cat. It suits travellers who want a peaceful base with a car, rather than walk-out-of-the-door city life.
Chroniken von Siena
Siena was founded by the Etruscans and became a major banking and wool-trading centre in the 12th and 13th centuries. Its medieval heart, the Piazza del Campo, was designed as a civic amphitheatre and remains the city’s social and political hub. The Gothic Duomo, with its black-and-white marble stripes, dominates the skyline and contains works by Donatello, Michelangelo, and Pinturicchio. Siena’s cultural identity is fiercely local, centred on the 17 contrade (neighbourhoods) that compete in the Palio horse race — a twice-yearly event that has run since 1656.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Siena-Guide →Die besten Monate
May, June, September — warm but not scorching, long daylight hours, and fewer crowds than July and August. The surrounding Crete Senesi landscape is green in spring and golden in early autumn.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are the absolute busiest; the Palio di Siena runs on 2 July and 16 August, cramming the Piazza del Campo with tens of thousands. Hotel prices in the city can double during Palio week. The heat often reaches 35°C, and many restaurants close for August holidays.
Budget Schulter Saison
April, October, and early November offer mild weather (15–20°C) and discounted room rates. The countryside is less dusty, and you can walk the city walls without queuing.
Wetter & Verpackung
Siena in early July is reliably hot and dry, but evening thunderstorms can blow in from the hills. Pack a light rain jacket or foldable umbrella tucked in the bottom of your day bag.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Siena
- From June 2026, the ZTL (limited traffic zone) in Siena’s centre has expanded — non-residents driving without a permit face fines of €80–150. The hotel will email you the necessary paperwork if you request it at least 48 hours before arrival.
- The Museo Civico in the Palazzo Pubblico is closed for interior renovation until late August 2026. The ground-floor courtyard and ticket office remain open, and the Torre del Mangia is unaffected.
- A new weekly farm market opens every Wednesday morning from June to September in the small square at località Presciano, 3 km from the hotel. It sells seasonal produce, pecorino, and cured meats from nearby dairies.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Fattoria di Mugnano, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first floor (American second floor) facing the internal courtyard or the surrounding countryside. These rooms are quieter, away from the street, and likely have larger windows for natural light.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms facing the street (Via di Mugnano or the main road into Siena). Street traffic, especially in the morning, can be noisy, and ground-floor windows offer less privacy.
Best views
Rooms on the second or third floor facing the Tuscan countryside (likely south or west side of the property) offer views of olive groves and hills. The address in Siena suggests a rural setting, so ask for a 'campagna' view.
Quietest floors
First floor (American second) and above, facing the courtyard or fields. The hotel has no lift, so upper floors (second floor and above) are quieter due to less foot traffic, but request courtyard/field view.
🔊 Noise notes
Being a 3-star agriturismo outside Siena's historic centre, main noise is from occasional traffic on Via di Mugnano (local road) and early morning farm activity (tractors, deliveries). The lack of a lift means less internal foot traffic noise above ground floor.
Insider tips
1. If arriving by car, ask for a room on the far side of the building from the car park to avoid early departures. 2. Request a room with a balcony or terrace if available—many 3-star Tuscan farmhouses have them, and they're worth it for the sunset view.
- 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

Geld & Währung
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use a free ATM at a bank rather than exchanging cash; exchange bureaux in tourist areas and the airport give poor rates.
Cards are accepted in most restaurants, shops, and supermarkets, but small cafés and market stalls may be cash-only. Contactless is widely available.
Tipping is not obligatory but rounding up or leaving a few euros for good service is appreciated; taxi drivers don't expect a tip; hotel staff may get a couple of euros for carrying bags.
Essen, Einkaufen und Reisen auf einem Budget
Cheap car hire →A standing espresso at a bar is around €1–1.20; takeaway prices are similar, but sitting down at a table costs more.
Pizza al taglio (by the slice) or a panino from a rosticceria or deli will be around €5–€7.
A simple pasta or secondi in a trattoria runs about €10–€14 for a main course; avoid the main piazza for cheaper options.
Look for bakeries (fornaie) selling schiacciata (Tuscan flatbread) and panini, or places with hot rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes; the area around the market and side streets off Piazza del Campo are good bets.
Conad, Coop, and Lidl are common budget supermarket chains in Siena.
The main shopping street Via Banchi di Sopra has mid-range chain stores like Zara, H&M, and OVS; for cheaper clothes, head to the morning market in Piazza Mercato (Wednesday and Saturday).
Siena is compact and walkable for most; buy a day pass for the Tiemme bus network at €1.50 per single ticket (valid 70 mins) or a 10-ticket carnet; no airport in Siena itself (closest is Florence or Pisa – take a shuttle bus from Florence airport to Siena bus station for about €15).
drink coffee standing at the bar, not at a table; buy water and snacks at a supermarket rather than at tourist kiosks; eat the set lunch menu (pranzo di lavoro) for a fixed price in trattorias.

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Umher zu kommen
Find train tickets →Florence Airport (FLR) → Comfort Siena Design Apartment
💡 Book a fixed-price transfer with Welcome Pickups or a local company like TaxiSiena to avoid surge pricing. Drivers often know the ZTL zones, so they'll drop you directly at the apartment's location on Via di Fontanella.
Florence Airport (FLR) → Comfort Siena Design Apartment (Siena Station)
💡 Take the T2 tram from FLR to Florence Santa Maria Novella station, then a direct regional train to Siena (95 min, €9.20). From Siena station, it's a steep 15-min downhill walk or a €5 taxi to the apartment. Avoid the Trenitalia Intercity trains—they're not faster.
Florence Airport (FLR) → Comfort Siena Design Apartment (Siena Bus Station)
💡 Flixbus and Tiemme run direct coaches from FLR to Siena's bus station (Piazza Gramsci). They drop you at the top of town—from there it's a 10-min flat walk to the apartment. Sit on the left for views of the towers on the way in.

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.
