La propiedad — Locanda di Strove
A 14th-century stone farmhouse turned three-star, ten miles northwest of Siena’s walls, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards. The lobby smells of woodsmoke and beeswax; the vibe is rusticated calm, not polished luxury. It suits independent travellers who want a quiet base with a pool and a decent home-made breakfast, not boutique pampering. The USP is the working agriturismo feel – you eat what they grow, and the bus into Siena stops outside the gate.
Crónicas de Siena
Siena was founded as a Roman military colony (Saena Julia) in the 1st century BC, but its golden age came during the 12th–14th centuries as a wealthy banking and cloth-trading republic, rival to Florence. Its Gothic architecture – the striped-marble Duomo, the shell-shaped Piazza del Campo – was largely built in this period and remains strikingly intact due to economic stagnation after the Black Death. The city’s contrade, medieval neighbourhoods that still stage the twice-yearly Palio horse race, define its fierce civic identity. Today Siena is a Unesco World Heritage site and a university town, balancing heritage tourism with a lived-in, student rhythm.
El mejor momento para visitar
Guía completa de Siena →Los mejores meses
May, June, September. Warm (highs 24–28°C), low rain, daylight until 8.30pm. Crowds are moderate – busy but not crushing, and July’s Palio hasn’t yet arrived.
Peak / Festival Surge
July–August, especially the Palio on 2 July and 16 August. The city doubles in population, hotel rates spike 50–100%, andLocanda di Strove will sell out months ahead. The race itself is the main event, but expect 40°C heat and full restaurants.
La temporada del hombro
April and October. Highs 18–22°C, far fewer tourists, room rates drop by a third. You might see drizzle, but you’ll have the Duomo nearly to yourself.
Tiempo y embalaje
Siena gets sudden afternoon thunderstorms even in summer – a classic Tuscan microclimate. Pack a light rain shell over your layers; don’t skimp on sturdy walking shoes because the city is a steep hill maze.
Briefing en vivo de la ciudad — Siena
- The ZTL (limited traffic zone) in Siena city centre has been tightened – if you drive to the hotel, arrange parking at Strove, not the city walls. Non-resident cars fined €100+.
- A new exit ramp on the Siena-Firenze motorway near Monteriggioni has reduced driving time from the Florence airport by about 15 minutes – useful if you’re arriving from Amerigo Vespucci.
- July 2026 is the 750th anniversary of the Battle of Montaperti (1266), so expect extra Palio pageantry and local historical re-enactments in the week leading up to 2 July.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Locanda di Strove, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first or second floor at the rear of the building, away from the street. These floors are more accessible via stairs (no lift issues) and quieter.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms facing the street; they suffer from pedestrian and traffic noise. Also skip rooms near the lift shaft on any floor if the lift is old and creaky.
Best views
Request a room with a window overlooking the courtyard or the Tuscan hillside at the back; no guarantee, but ask. Street views are mostly of narrow medieval lanes.
Quietest floors
First and second floors at the rear are the quietest. Third floor may also be quiet but requires stair climbing.
🔊 Noise notes
Siena's historic centre has cobblestone streets and pedestrian traffic; street-facing rooms hear footsteps, voices, and occasional delivery vehicles in the morning.
Insider tips
1) Parking is very limited in Siena's centro storico; ask Locanda di Strove if they have a partner garage or if you can get a ZTL pass. 2) Check-in can be late (after 14:00) – confirm if you arrive early; request a PDF with local arrival tips as the address can be tricky to find by car.
- 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 ATMs for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at train stations and tourist offices, which charge high fees.
Major credit and debit cards are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, and shops. Contactless and mobile payments are common for amounts under €50.
Not expected, but rounding up or leaving a small amount (€1–2) for good service in restaurants is appreciated. Taxis and hotel staff don't expect tips, though a euro or two is fine for carrying bags.
Comer, comprar y viajar en un presupuesto
Cheap car hire →Espresso at the counter in a bar: around €1.10–1.50.
Pizza al taglio (by the slice) or a panino from a rosticceria: €5–8.
A pasta or pizza main in a trattoria: €10–15.
Look for panini, schiacciata (Tuscan flatbread), or pizza al taglio from bakeries and tripe sandwiches (lampredotto) — cheaper than sit-down restaurants and easy to eat on the go. The area around Piazza del Campo and the main market street (Via di Città) has several bakeries and small shops.
Coop, Conad, and simply market are common budget supermarkets in Siena.
The main shopping streets (Via Banchi di Sopra and Via Montanini) have affordable high-street chains like H&M, OVS, and Decathlon for basics. The weekly market on Wednesday mornings at La Lizza has some clothing stalls at low prices.
Walk everywhere within the historic centre — it's small and largely pedestrian. For buses (e.g. to the train station or outskirts), a single ticket costs €1.50 (available at tabacchi or newsstands); a day pass is about €4. No airport in Siena itself — from Florence airport (FLR) take a shuttle bus (around €16 direct) or train to Siena (change at Florence Santa Maria Novella, about €10–15).
Eat your main meal at lunch when menus are cheaper; buy water and snacks at supermarkets rather than tourist-area kiosks; and get the Siena Tourist Pass (€15–20) if you plan to visit multiple museums and monuments — it covers the duomo, museums, and city towers and works out cheaper.

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.
