Das Eigentum — Tenuta di Lilliano
Tenuta di Lilliano sits on a working wine estate a few kilometres north-east of Siena. The lobby feels like a country house with terracotta floors, wooden beams, and a rack of local Chianti Classico for sale. It suits travellers who want a genuine agriturismo base with a pool and vineyard views, not a town-centre hotel; you’ll need a car or taxi to get into Siena for dinner.
Chroniken von Siena
Siena was founded by the Etruscans, became a major banking and trading centre in the 12th–14th centuries, and fought a long rivalry with Florence. Its medieval core, built around the shell-shaped Piazza del Campo, remains largely intact because the city’s economic decline after the Black Death froze further development. The Gothic Duomo and the Palazzo Pubblico dominate the skyline. Today Siena is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a university town, preserving the Palio horse race as its defining civic ritual.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Siena-Guide →Die besten Monate
May, June, mid-September: warm days, low rainfall, and the main tourist crowds haven’t peaked or have just thinned. The countryside is green, and hotel rates are still moderate.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August: the Palio on 2 July and 16 August brings tens of thousands of visitors, tripling hotel prices in the city. Tenuta di Lilliano, being outside town, sees a smaller jump but still fills fast for race weeks. The heat can hit 35°C, and all public spaces are crowded.
Budget Schulter Saison
Late April and early October: temperatures are 15–22°C, far fewer tourists, and hotel rates drop 20–30% from summer highs. Rain is possible but not persistent.
Wetter & Verpackung
July in Siena is hot and dry, but evening can drop sharply in the countryside. Pack a light sweater or jacket for dinner on the terrace, and comfortable walking shoes for the steep cobbled streets of the centre.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Siena
- Siena’s city council introduced a limited traffic zone (ZTL) expansion in spring 2025; if you drive, check your hotel’s parking policy carefully and avoid entering the historic centre without a permit.
- The new Siena Experience museum, a multimedia history of the Palio and the Republic, opened in late 2025 near Piazza del Campo; it’s a good option for a short visit on a hot afternoon.
- Trenitalia’s summer timetable adds direct trains from Florence to Siena on weekends; check cancellations, as engineering works between Empoli and Siena are ongoing.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Tenuta di Lilliano, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on the first floor (piano primo) facing the internal courtyard. These are quieter and catch the morning sun without the heat of higher floors. They avoid any potential for street noise from the Siena address.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor (piano terra) as they may be near the reception or breakfast area, and could pick up noise from check-in and early service. Also avoid any room overlooking the street entrance, as the location in Siena means occasional vehicle and pedestrian traffic near the hotel.
Best views
The best views are from rooms on the second floor overlooking the internal courtyard or the Tuscan hillside, which the hotel is set against. A few rooms may offer a glimpse of Siena's skyline in the distance, but the courtyard and hillside scenes are most peaceful.
Quietest floors
First and second floors are quietest; the building's thick stone walls and distance from street-level activity on these upper floors provide good insulation.
🔊 Noise notes
Main noise sources come from the central Siena location: occasional street traffic (though the hotel is off the main roads), and the breakfast service starting around 7:30-8 AM. The bar on the ground floor can also cause chatter in the evenings, but generally the hotel is quiet after 10 PM.
Insider tips
1. If you're driving, park in the hotel's private car park (contact in advance for availability) — Siena's ZTL is strict and public parking is expensive. 2. Request a room on the first or second floor at booking; many standard rooms are on the ground floor, and upgrading ensures 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

Geld & Währung
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATMs inside banks for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at Piazza del Campo and the train station—they charge high commissions and poor rates.
Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in shops and restaurants; contactless is common. Smaller trattorias and market stalls often take cash only. Amex is rarely accepted.
Not expected; if you round up the bill or leave a couple of euros for good service, it's appreciated. Taxis: round up to the nearest euro. Hotel porters: €1–2 per bag.
Essen, Einkaufen und Reisen auf einem Budget
Cheap car hire →Espresso at a bar counter (caffè) is around €1.10–1.30; sitting at a table in Piazza del Campo can cost €4+.
Pizza al taglio (by the slice) or a panino from a forno (bakery) for €5–7.
Primo (pasta dish) in a trattoria for €10–13; a glass of house wine around €3–4.
Via di Città and around Piazza del Mercato have several panini and pizza al taglio spots. Look for bakeries with a queue at lunchtime.
Conad, Coop, and Carrefour Express are common; smaller alimentari (corner shops) stock basics at similar prices.
Outlet stores just outside the walls (e.g., Valdichiana Outlet Village) or the Saturday morning market at La Lizza for basics like t-shirts and scarves.
Walking is free and covers the historic centre. Buses (Tiemme) cost €1.50 per ride from tabacchi; no day pass worth it for most visitors. From Florence airport, take the shuttle bus to Florence S.M.N. station then a regional train to Siena (about €15).
Eat at places off the main tourist squares like Piazza del Campo—walk 100 metres for fairer prices. Buy water and snacks at a supermarket rather than a corner shop near the Duomo. Visit the Palazzo Pubblico's museum in the morning when it's quieter and you can spend more time for the same ticket price.

Your arrival at Tenuta di Lilliano
🕒 Check-in is from . Arriving earlier? Most hotels store luggage free — just ask at reception.
🚐 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.
