La propiedad — Antico Casolare
Antico Casolare is a farmhouse-style three-star set in the hills just outside Siena, with exposed stone, terracotta floors and a working olive grove. The lobby smells of woodsmoke in winter and herbs in summer; it feels like staying on a Tuscan farm, not in a chain. It suits travellers who want quiet countryside, a pool, and a car to reach the historic centre. Breakfast includes homemade cakes and local ham.
Crónicas de Siena
Siena was founded as a Roman settlement under Augustus, but its golden age was the 12th–14th centuries, when it rivaled Florence through banking and trade. The shell-shaped Piazza del Campo, built in 1349, remains the city’s heart and hosts the bareback horse race Palio each July. The Gothic Duomo, with its black-and-white marble stripes, was planned to be even larger but was halted by the Black Death in 1348. Today Siena retains a medieval street plan and a proud civic identity, UNESCO-listed since 1995, and is a major stop on the Tuscan cultural circuit.
El mejor momento para visitar
Guía completa de Siena →Los mejores meses
May, June, September: warm days, fewer tourists than July–August, and the countryside is green. The Palio crowds have not yet arrived in June, and September harvest season adds local charm.
Peak / Festival Surge
July (especially 2 July and 16 August, Palio dates) is the absolute peak. Hotel prices double or triple, the city is packed, and rooms book months ahead. The Palio itself and the preceding trial runs draw huge crowds.
La temporada del hombro
April and October offer lower hotel rates, milder temperatures (15–22°C), and far fewer tourists. You can see the Palio museum without queues and walk the Campo without shoulder-to-shoulder crowds.
Tiempo y embalaje
Siena’s summers can be baking (35°C+), but evening thunderstorms are common in July. Pack a light, breathable jacket and sturdy walking shoes for cobbled hills.
Briefing en vivo de la ciudad — Siena
- The Siena Cathedral floor mosaic exhibit (‘Pavimento’) is only fully uncovered from late June to mid-August; check dates as they vary by year.
- Bus services from Piazza Gramsci to the old town are currently reduced due to driver shortages; taxis from Antico Casolare cost about €15 into the centre.
- In July 2026, Siena will enforce limited traffic zones in the historic centre during Palio week (2 July); cars need a permit or must park outside the walls.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Antico Casolare, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first floor (Italian piano primo) facing the inner courtyard. These rooms have higher ceilings, less foot traffic noise from the lobby, and morning sun without the afternoon heat.
Rooms to avoid
Steer clear of rooms on the ground floor (piano terra) near the reception or breakfast area, as they get noise from early arrivals and staff starting at 6am. Also avoid rooms with windows directly onto the Via di Città side if the hotel has street-facing rooms, because Siena's narrow historic streets amplify scooter and delivery van noise until late evening.
Best views
Ask for a room with a view of the Torre del Mangia or the Duomo's flank. Many rooms in Siena's centro storico overlook internal courtyards or narrow alleys, so a higher floor (secondo or terzo) on the Piazza del Campo side gives the classic Sienese panorama.
Quietest floors
The first and second floors (piani primo e secondo) are generally quietest, as the third floor often has rooftop terrace access which can mean foot traffic and furniture scraping from above.
🔊 Noise notes
Siena's historic centre is pedestrianised but has motorbikes/two-wheelers allowed until late. Street noise is worst on Via Banchi di Sopra and Via di Città. Music can carry from the Piazza del Campo in summer evenings, and church bells ring from nearby San Giorgio at 7am and 8pm.
Insider tips
1) If arriving by car, park outside the ZTL (limited traffic zone) at the Sant'Andrea car park or Stadio comunale – the hotel can validate permits. 2) For better Wi-Fi, request a room on the first floor as signal can be weak on top floors in old buildings with thick stone walls. 3) At check-in, ask about the hotel's own wine cellar – some rooms offer access to a small tasting corner, a perk rarely mentioned online.
- 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

Dinero y moneda
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use bank ATMs inside Siena for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the train station or airport — poor rates and high fees.
Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in shops, restaurants and hotels. Contactless and mobile pay are common for small amounts. Some smaller cafes or markets may be cash-only, so carry a little cash.
Not expected, but rounding up or leaving a few euros for good service in restaurants is appreciated. Taxis and hotel staff do not expect tips — a euro or two for help with bags is fine.
Comer, comprar y viajar en un presupuesto
Cheap car hire →Standing at a bar counter for a caffè (espresso) costs around €1.10-€1.30. Sitting down with table service can double that.
A panini or slice of pizza from a bakery or deli counter (rosticceria) for around €5-€7, often eaten standing or on a bench.
Look for a pizza or a simple pasta dish at a trattoria for a main course around €10-€14.
The area around Piazza del Campo and the main streets has bakeries and small shops selling pizza al taglio (by the slice), focaccia, and panini. No dedicated market, but good budget eats near the university area.
Conad and Coop are the most common budget supermarket chains in central Siena.
The central streets around Via dei Rossi and Via Banchi di Sopra have affordable chain stores like OVS and H&M. For cheaper basics, try the outlet shops just outside the city walls near the train station.
Siena is compact — walking is the cheapest and best way. For buses within the historic centre, a single ticket costs €1.50 (valid 70 minutes); a day pass is around €5. From Florence airport (FLR), take the shuttle bus to Florence Santa Maria Novella station, then the direct Tiemme bus to Siena (about €9-€10 one-way).
1. Eat lunch at a bar or bakery counter rather than a sit-down restaurant for half the price. 2. Buy water and snacks at a Conad or Coop supermarket instead of tourist shops. 3. Book the bus from Florence or Pisa airport well in advance online for discounts.

Principales atracciones en 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.
