La propriété — La Coroncina Lodging
La Coroncina Lodging is a modest three-star set in a converted 19th-century villa with a gravel courtyard and a small pool tucked among olive trees. The lobby feels like a quiet, sun-bleached waiting room – terracotta floors, a worn leather sofa, a rack of local tourism leaflets – and the staff are unfussy locals who’ll point you to the bus stop for the 10-minute ride up to Piazza del Campo. It suits independent travellers who value a cool, clean room and a pool after a hot day’s sightseeing over frills or a central location.
Chroniques de Siena
Siena was founded as Sena Julia by the Romans under Augustus, but it rose to prominence in the 12th-14th centuries as a rival republic to Florence, governed by the Council of Nine. Its Gothic architecture – the striped-duomo marble, the towering Palazzo Pubblico – was bankrolled by wool trade and banking families. The city’s famous Palio, a bareback horse race around the piazza, has been run twice each summer since 1643, and today’s Siena balances its UNESCO World Heritage status with a liveable, hilly small-city vibe of student cafés and contrada rivalries.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de Siena →Meilleurs mois
May and September: warm but not scorching, with fewer tourists than July, plus the Palio’s dress rehearsals in May offer a slice of pageantry without the crowds.
Peak / Festival surge
July and August, with the Palio on 2 July and 16 August being the main draw. Hotel prices can double; La Coroncina often asks €150-200 a night. The city heaves, buses are packed and midday heat can hit 38°C.
La saison des épaules
April, May, October: rooms drop to €80-120, days are bright and breezy, and you’ll share the cathedral with locals, not queues.
Météo & Emballage
Siena’s July afternoons regularly exceed 35°C, but the hilltop altitude means cool evenings – you’ll need a light jacket or shawl for dinner outdoors. Pack linen for the day and a cotton cardigan for night; leave the umbrella – it almost never rains in July.
Briefing de la ville — Siena
- Bus route S32 from the station to Porta Romana (stop near La Coroncina) is undergoing temporary stops due to roadworks on Via Garibaldi until September 2026 – check Tiemme Toscana’s website for the detour.
- The Palazzo Pubblico’s Museo Civico reopened its Sala del Mappamondo in April 2026 after a two-year restoration of Simone Martini’s frescoes – book tickets in advance to skip queues.
- Heatwave alerts are common in July 2026; the city council has set up free water-refill points at Piazza del Campo and the Fortezza Medicea to discourage plastic bottles.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to La Coroncina Lodging, 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 Strada Cassia Sud). These floors are high enough to reduce street-level noise but low enough to avoid any roof-level machinery, and the orientation away from the main road gives a quieter outlook over the garden or internal courtyard.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms facing Strada Cassia Sud on the ground floor or third floor. Ground-floor rooms will pick up passing traffic and pedestrian noise; third-floor rooms may be under a pitched roof with limited natural light and can be hotter in summer. The front side of the hotel also suffers from constant traffic rumble from this main artery into Siena.
Best views
Rooms at the back of the hotel face the garden or internal courtyard – a green, calm view of the Tuscan hillside, not the road. Front-facing rooms look onto Strada Cassia Sud and a row of parked cars; no landmark views from this peripheral location anyway.
Quietest floors
First and second floors are the quietest. The hotel is a converted townhouse without a lift, so these mid-floors balance minimal street noise with easy stair access.
🔊 Noise notes
Strada Cassia Sud is a main road connecting Siena's centre to the southern suburbs, with moderate to heavy traffic from early morning until late evening. Occasional motorbikes and buses pass. The hotel has no double glazing mentioned, so front rooms will hear this clearly. There is no bar or restaurant on site, so internal noise is limited to fellow guests using stairs.
Insider tips
1. If arriving by car, the hotel has limited parking – ask when booking for a reserved space in the small courtyard, otherwise you'll need to find free street parking which is tight on Cassia Sud. 2. Check-in can be self-service; ask the owner to email you the door code in advance so you don't rely on mobile reception in the ground-floor lobby.
- 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

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.

Principales attractions à 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.
