La propriété — Le Nochi
Le Nochi is a straightforward three-star hotel just outside Siena’s historic centre, with clean, functional rooms and a small garden. Its big selling point is easy parking, rare for this hill town, and a decent breakfast buffet. It suits car-borne travellers who want a no-fuss base to explore Siena, not those seeking charm or luxury.
Chroniques de Siena
Siena was founded by the Etruscans and became a powerful medieval banking and trade centre, rivalling Florence. Its Gothic architecture – striped Duomo, shell-shaped Piazza del Campo – remains largely intact from the 13th and 14th centuries, thanks to a civic building code that banned new construction in sensitive areas. The city’s identity is still defined by the Contrade, the 17 neighbourhoods that compete in the twice-yearly Palio horse race around the piazza in July and August. Today Siena is a UNESCO World Heritage site, known for its fiercely preserved traditions and a university that keeps the streets young and lively.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de Siena →Meilleurs mois
May, June and September offer warm, sunny days (20–30°C) with lower humidity and far fewer tourists than July–August. The countryside is green, and the medieval streets feel less crowded.
Peak / Festival surge
July and August are peak, driven by the Palio on 2 July and 16 August. Hotel prices double or triple; advance booking is essential. The city swells with race fans, and midday heat often hits 35°C.
La saison des épaules
Late April, early May and October are ideal shoulder months. Room rates can drop 30–40% versus summer, temperatures are mild (15–22°C), and you’ll share the sights with locals, not queues.
Météo & Emballage
Siena’s 300m elevation means cooler evenings even in July, with occasional thunderstorms. Pack a light jacket or cardigan for after sunset, and sun protection for the blazing afternoons.
Briefing de la ville — Siena
- The Palio di Provenzano takes place on 2 July (bareback horse race around Piazza del Campo); book transport early as the city centre closes to traffic all day.
- New ZTL (limited traffic zone) enforcement fines have increased to €110; Le Nochi is outside the zone, but do not drive into Siena’s historic core without a permit.
- Major restoration work continues on the Duomo’s façade (expected until 2027); you can still visit inside, but scaffolding may affect photos.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Le Nochi, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third or fourth floor facing the internal courtyard. These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise and the courtyard orientation ensures quieter nights, as the front-facing rooms can pick up traffic from the narrow medieval streets around Siena's historic centre.
Rooms to avoid
Steer clear of rooms on the first floor or those facing the street. First-floor rooms sit low and may catch street-level sounds and early morning foot traffic. Street-facing rooms overlook Siena's old lanes, which, while charming, mean continuous pedestrian and vehicle noise, especially near restaurant delivery hours.
Best views
Rooms looking over the internal courtyard offer a calm, leafy outlook typical of Tuscan townhouses, though no panoramic views from this 3-star hotel. If you prefer natural light, request a south-facing room to catch the Sienese sun over the rooftops.
Quietest floors
Floors three and four are the quietest, further from the lobby and street activity, and the third floor tends to be the most stable for sleep with fewer passers-by in the corridor.
🔊 Noise notes
Siena's centre is compact and lively; early morning deliveries to nearby cafes, public foot traffic from the Piazza del Campo vicinity, and occasional church bells from the Duomo area can permeate the walls. The hotel has no soundproofing mentioned, so earplugs help.
Insider tips
1. Parking in Siena is a nightmare: book a spot at the hotel or use the automated car park at the Fortezza Medicea, then walk 10 minutes. 2. Ask for a room on a high floor with a view of the courtyard when booking directly — 3-star hotels in Siena often oblige with quieter options if you ask before arrival.
- 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

Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATMs inside banks for better rates; avoid exchange bureaux near Piazza del Campo or train station — poor rates and high fees.
Visa and Mastercard widely accepted; AmEx and contactless mobile pay common in most shops and restaurants, but some smaller bars may be cash-only.
Not expected, but rounding up the bill or leaving a couple of euros for good service in restaurants is appreciated; taxis round up; hotel staff get nothing unless exceptional.
Manger, faire du shopping et voyager sur un budget
Cheap car hire →A caffè (espresso) at the counter in a bar costs about €1.20-1.50; sitting at a table doubles the price.
A slice of pizza or a panino from a forno (bakery) or takeaway spot: €5-7.
A pasta main in an osteria or trattoria: around €12-15.
Look for bakeries and takeaway pizza slices in the streets off the main square; small market stalls near Piazza del Campo sell cheap schiacciata and snacks.
Conad, Coop and Carrefour Express are common in Siena for basics.
Via dei Termini and Via dei Rossi have a few mid-priced chain stores; better to shop in Florence for serious high-street brands.
Walking covers the entire historic centre; bus day pass is €6 for unlimited rides, but you rarely need it. No airport in Siena; from Florence airport, take the T1 tram to the bus station (€1.50), then a Tiemme bus to Siena (about €10).
Eat away from Piazza del Campo where prices drop significantly. Buy a bus pass only if you're staying outside the walls. Fill a water bottle at public fountains for free.

Where to Eat

Your arrival at Le Nochi
🕒 Check-in is from . Arriving earlier? Most hotels store luggage free — just ask at reception.
🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →S’entourer
Find train tickets →Florence Airport (FLR) → Comfort Siena Design Apartment
💡 Book a fixed-price transfer with Welcome Pickups or a local company like TaxiSiena to avoid surge pricing. Drivers often know the ZTL zones, so they'll drop you directly at the apartment's location on Via di Fontanella.
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.
Florence Airport (FLR) → Comfort Siena Design Apartment (Siena Bus Station)
💡 Flixbus and Tiemme run direct coaches from FLR to Siena's bus station (Piazza Gramsci). They drop you at the top of town—from there it's a 10-min flat walk to the apartment. Sit on the left for views of the towers on the way in.
Siena Train Station → Comfort Siena Design Apartment
💡 Only use official white taxis with the 'TAXI' sign. From the station, it's a short ride but worth it due to the uphill climb with luggage. Call 0577 49221 for a radio taxi if none are in the queue.

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.
