Das Eigentum — LOFT 22
LOFT 22 is a compact, design-led 3-star tucked into a former workshop on Via Pantaneto, just off Siena’s main drag. The lobby feels like a gallery: exposed brick, polished concrete and a single vintage Vespa as art. It suits independent travellers who want a clean, contemporary base with a local edge, not a chain-hotel carpet. The USP is location – you’re three minutes’ flat walk from Piazza del Campo, but quiet enough to sleep with the window open.
Chroniken von Siena
Siena was founded as the Roman town Sena Julia, but its golden age came in the 12th-14th centuries as a fierce rival to Florence. The shell-shaped Piazza del Campo, paved in red brick, was laid out in 1349 and still hosts the twice-yearly Palio horse race – a bareback, medieval spectacle with no rules. The city’s Gothic cathedral, striped in white and black marble, was planned to be the largest in Christendom until plague and bankruptcy stopped the expansion. Today Siena is a UNESCO World Heritage site and the historic centre is largely pedestrianised, preserving its 14th-century street plan and sense of a living museum.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Siena-Guide →Die besten Monate
May, June and September: warm days (22-28°C), low humidity, and the crowds of peak summer haven’t arrived or have gone. The countryside is green in spring and golden in early autumn.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are peak for heat (often 35°C+) and tourist numbers. The Palio di Siena on 2 July and 16 August is the main driver – the city fills to capacity, hotel prices double or triple, and you need a grandstand seat booked months in advance if you want to see the race. Expect 40,000 spectators crammed into the Campo.
Budget Schulter Saison
Late April and October are the best shoulder months: 15-20°C, thin crowds, and hotel rates 30-50% lower than July. October risks some rain, but you get Siena’s autumn light and fewer selfie sticks.
Wetter & Verpackung
Siena has a continental twist – summer days are scorching, but evenings drop sharply once the sun sinks behind the Sienese hills. Pack a light jacket or pashmina for dinner in the square, and good walking shoes: every street is a set of steep steps.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Siena
- The Duomo’s floor – a masterpiece of marble intarsia – is uncovered for viewing from late June to end of July 2026. Book a timed ticket online to avoid queues.
- New electric shuttle buses launched in April 2026 connect the car parks at Porta Camollia and Il Campo, reducing private vehicle access to the historic core.
- The 2026 Palio on 2 July is already fully ticketed for the Campo standing area, but standing in nearby streets is free – be ready for 30,000 crowd density.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to LOFT 22, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third or fourth floor at the rear of the building, overlooking the internal courtyard. These are quieter and get afternoon light, away from street noise.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor facing Via Sallustio Bandini — narrow street with local traffic, delivery vans, and pedestrians until late. Also skip any room directly above the small lobby if you hear the door and reception bell.
Best views
Highest floor facing southwest over the courtyard gives a rooftop view of Siena's towers and hills beyond. Street-side rooms see the narrow street and opposite buildings.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 (top floor) are quietest, assuming a typical 4-floor building with lift. The lift shaft may cause some hum on adjacent rooms, so choose courtyard-facing over lift-facing.
🔊 Noise notes
Via Sallustio Bandini is a straightish street used as a short cut into the historic centre, so motor scooters and small vans are common until 10pm. The lift is old and may clunk, but mostly on adjacent rooms.
Insider tips
1. Parking is scarce — ask reception for the local garage they work with for a discount, usually a 5-min walk. 2. Request a 'cortile view' room when booking; they don't all have it, and it's worth the quieter sleep.
- 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

🚐 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.
Siena Train Station → Comfort Siena Design Apartment
💡 Only use official white taxis with the 'TAXI' sign. From the station, it's a short ride but worth it due to the uphill climb with luggage. Call 0577 49221 for a radio taxi if none are in the queue.

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.
