Das Eigentum — Villa Baciolo
Villa Baciolo is a calm, no-frills 3-star a short walk from Siena’s historic core, set in a quiet residential street with a small garden and terrace. The lobby feels more like a well-kept guesthouse than a chain hotel — tiled floors, a chequered sofa, sunlight from the street door. Rooms are simple but clean, with wooden furniture and functional bathrooms. It suits independent travellers or couples who want a base near the walls without the premium of a Piazza del Campo address.
Chroniken von Siena
Siena was founded as a Roman settlement (Saena Julia) in the 1st century BC, but its golden age came in the 12th–14th centuries as a rival to Florence, building a Gothic cityscape of brick towers and narrow lanes. Its famous shell-shaped Piazza del Campo was laid out in the 13th century as a civic marketplace, and the unfinished Duomo (begun 1215) stands as a monument to medieval ambition halted by the Black Death. Today the historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site, fiercely protective of its Palio horse race — run twice each summer since 1644 — and its local dialect and culinary traditions. Siena remains a university town with a strong contemporary identity rooted in contrade (neighbourhoods) that still organise daily life and festivals.

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.
