Das Eigentum — Fullino Nero
Fullino Nero is a compact, no-frills three-star in central Siena, with a lobby that smells faintly of polish and coffee. The vibe is functional rather than charming — think clean tiles, a reception desk that doubles as a mini bar, and a stairwell that gets the job done. It suits budget-conscious travellers who prioritise location over character, and who plan to spend most of their time outside the hotel anyway.
Chroniken von Siena
Siena was founded by the Etruscans and later became a wealthy, rivalrous republic in the 12th–14th centuries, leaving a dense, hilly medieval core that UNESCO calls one of Europe's best preserved. Its Gothic cathedral, the Duomo, was designed to outshine Florence's, and the Piazza del Campo, a shell-shaped square, has been the city's civic heart since the 1300s. Today, Siena balances tourism with a proud local identity, especially evident during the Palio, a twice-yearly bareback horse race that still divides the neighbourhoods.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Siena-Guide →Die besten Monate
May and September: warm enough for outdoor sightseeing, but the summer crush hasn't arrived yet (or has just left). June is also fine, though the Palio practice runs can add noise.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August — both months are hot, crowded and expensive. The Palio on 2 July and 16 August drives hotel prices up 50–80% and fills rooms months ahead. Even outside those dates, the city is thick with day-trippers.
Budget Schulter Saison
Late October and early November: rooms drop by 30–40%, the light is soft, and you'll share the Duomo with fewer queue-skippers. November can be damp, but it's genuinely quiet.
Wetter & Verpackung
Siena in July is reliably hot (30–35°C) with no afternoon sea breeze, so light layers are essential. Pack a sun hat and reusable water bottle — the hill walks and lack of shade on the Campo will test you.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Siena
- Siena's ZTL (limited traffic zone) has been tightened in 2026 — non-resident vehicles cannot enter the historic centre at any time without a permit; use the Fortezza car park and walk 10 minutes.
- The new 'Siena Card' digital pass, launched spring 2026, bundles entry to the Duomo complex and Museo Civico with a bus-ticket option — worth it if you plan to visit both.
- A major repaving project on Via Banchi di Sopra (the main shopping street) started in April 2026 and will continue through the summer; expect noise and detours near the Fullino Nero.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Fullino Nero, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor at the back of the building (away from the street). These floors sit above pedestrian-level noise but below the roof, and the rear orientation avoids any street-facing bustle. If the hotel has an internal courtyard, ask for a room overlooking it.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms (especially those fronting the street) due to street noise and lack of privacy. Also skip rooms directly adjacent to the lift shaft or service entrance—these can carry clatter from housekeeping carts and guest traffic.
Best views
Rooms at the rear or side of the building may offer views over Siena’s rooftops or a quiet alley. Street-facing rooms could look onto the historic centre but with traffic noise—ask for a higher floor if you want the vista without the rattle.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 (assuming ground floor is floor 0). These are elevated enough to dampen street sounds, but still within easy stair or lift reach.
🔊 Noise notes
Siena’s narrow streets can amplify scooter, pedestrian, and early-morning delivery truck noise. A 3-star hotel in the centre likely has single-glazed windows against the street. Request a room on the courtyard or rear side for quieter sleep.
Insider tips
1. If arriving by car, check if the hotel offers paid parking or a nearby garage—Siena’s ZTL (limited traffic zone) is strict, and you don’t want a fine. 2. Siena is hilly; ask for a room on a lower floor (2nd or 3rd) to avoid a long hike with luggage if the lift is small or out of service.
- 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 ATMs inside actual banks or the post office; avoid exchange bureaux in Piazza del Campo or near the Duomo — terrible rates and hidden fees.
Visa/Mastercard contactless is accepted at most hotels, larger shops, and sit-down restaurants; small bars, market stalls, and some bakeries are cash-only.
Not expected but appreciated for good service: leave small change (1-2 EUR) for a coffee or meal, round up taxi fare to nearest euro, no tip for hotel porters unless they carry bags a long way.
Essen, Einkaufen und Reisen auf einem Budget
Cheap car hire →Stand at the bar for an espresso or cappuccino — about 1.10 EUR; sitting at a table in the same place will cost 2.50-3.50 EUR.
A slice of pizza from a forno (pizzeria al taglio) or a panino from a salumeria: 4-6 EUR and filling.
A main course (primo or secondo) in a no-frills trattoria or osteria away from the main tourist drag: 10-15 EUR.
The area around Via di Città and the Mercato di Siena (along Via dei Maestri) has good-value takeaway pizza, stuffed focaccia, and chickpea pancakes (farinata).
Coop, Conad, and Lidl are the main budget supermarkets; Coop at the bottom of Via dei Gazzani near Porta Camollia is handy.
Via Banchi di Sopra has mid-range chains like Zara and H&M; for second-hand or cheap basics, head to the weekly market (Wednesday morning in Fortezza Medicea car park).
Walking is the only practical way inside the walled centre; a day pass for the electric minibus is 2.50 EUR. From Florence airport, take the T1 bus to Florence SMN station (6 EUR), then a regional train to Siena (9.30 EUR).
Buy a Siena Pass (Combined ticket) for multiple museums if you plan to visit more than two. Eat at the mensa (self-service canteen) near the University on Via Cecco Angiolieri for a filling lunch under 7 EUR. Skip restaurants with menus in multiple languages outside — walk two streets away for half the price.

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.

💡 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.
