La propiedad — Casa Giovanni
Casa Giovanni is a straightforward three-star in a 14th-century townhouse near Piazza del Campo. The lobby has terracotta floors, a small reception desk and a faint smell of polish. It suits travellers who prioritise location over frills: you're two minutes from the shell-shaped square and ten from the Duomo. The rooms are compact but clean, with views of narrow medieval streets rather than postcard panoramas.
Crónicas de Siena
Siena was founded by the Etruscans and became a wealthy banking centre in the 13th century. Its Gothic architecture — brick palazzi, the striped Duomo and the fan-shaped Piazza del Campo — dates from this golden age. The city's government, the Republic of Siena, was absorbed by Florence in 1555 after a long siege. Today Siena's identity revolves around the Palio, a bareback horse race run twice each summer around the Campo, which still divides the city into its 17 historic contrade. The UNESCO-listed historic centre remains car-restricted and remarkably intact.
El mejor momento para visitar
Guía completa de Siena →Los mejores meses
May and June for warm, settled weather without July's fierce heat, plus smaller crowds and lower prices than peak summer. September is also excellent: harvest season, fewer tourists and 25-28°C days.
Peak / Festival Surge
July (especially 2 July for the first Palio) and August (16 August for the second Palio). Hotel prices double or triple, rooms sell out months ahead, and the city is overwhelmed with race visitors. Book by January if you want Casa Giovanni.
La temporada del hombro
April, early May and October. Days are mild (15-22°C), prices drop 30-40%, and you can actually walk through the Campo without elbowing someone. The Palio weeks aside, October is the sweet spot for budget and quiet.
Tiempo y embalaje
Siena sits on a hill and can be 35°C by noon in July but drops to 18°C at night. Pack a single light jacket or cardigan for evenings, plus a sun hat and reusable water bottle for daytime.

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.
