財産 — Casa del Colombaio
Casa del Colombaio is a former farmhouse turned 3-star hotel about 6 kilometres north-west of Siena's historic centre, perched among olive groves and cypress trees. The lobby feels like a country sitting room: terracotta floors, a stone fireplace, wooden beams overhead, and the faint smell of woodsmoke and polish. It's a quiet, car-necessary base for travellers who want Tuscan landscape views and a pool (open in summer) rather than a room overlooking the Piazza del Campo. The USP is its location on the Via Chiantigiana, right on the edge of Chianti wine country, and its small working farm that supplies olive oil and wines.
Sienaの歴史
Siena was founded as an Etruscan settlement (Saena) and later became a Roman town. Its medieval peak came between the 12th and 14th centuries as a rival to Florence, when it built its famed Piazza del Campo and the Torre del Mangia. The city's distinctive Gothic architecture, including the Duomo and Palazzo Pubblico, was largely completed by 1348, when the Black Death halted expansion. Today, Siena's historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site, famous for the twice-yearly Palio horse race and for its preserved medieval street plan of narrow, hilly lanes.
訪れるのに最適な時間
Siena完全ガイド →最高の月
May and September: warm, sunny days (22–28°C) with low humidity, and the city is less crowded than in high summer. October is also good for crisp, golden light and moderate temperatures.
ピーク/フェスティバル Surge
July and August, especially around the Palio in July (2 July) and August (16 August). The city is packed, hotel prices double or triple, and the noise from celebrations and tourism can be intense. The Palio itself—a bareback horse race around the Campo—drives the frenzy.
予算肩の季節
April and October offer lower prices (30–40% off peak), fewer queues at the Duomo and museums, and mild weather (12–22°C). You'll still need a light jacket in the evenings.
天気&パッケージ
Siena is often hotter in the day than Florence but cools quickly in evening shade, so pack layers: a linen shirt and a lightweight jacket. Rain is unlikely in July, but a sudden thunderstorm can hit—a small travel umbrella is worth carrying.
LIVE CITY BRIEFING — Siena
- Bus routes: The Siena Mobilità bus line S10 from Piazza Gramsci to the hotel's stop (Colombaio) has reduced frequency in July 2026 due to driver shortages—check the app for real-time times.
- Duomo construction: The restored mosaic floor of Siena Cathedral is fully uncovered through July 2026, but it is only visible on summer weekends (Sat 10:00–19:00, Sun 12:00–19:00).
- Palio closures: From 2 July to 5 July, the Piazza del Campo is closed for practice runs (prove) and the race itself; expect roadblocks in the centre and heavy traffic on the SS2 Cassia in both directions.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Casa del Colombaio, 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 back of the building, away from Strada Comunale di Racciano. These floors are high enough for a bit of privacy and light, but low enough to avoid the heavy footfall or lift noise common in 3-star hotels with no lift. The back position reduces traffic rumble from the local road.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms facing Strada Comunale di Racciano. The road carries local traffic to the surrounding countryside, so you'll get early-morning scooter and car noise. Ground-floor rooms also have less privacy because people walk past the windows.
Best views
Rooms on the first or second floor at the back should overlook the hotel's garden or surrounding olive groves and hills, which is typical for Siena's countryside. Front-facing rooms see the local road and maybe some scrubland.
Quietest floors
First or second floor, rear-facing rooms.
🔊 Noise notes
Strada Comunale di Racciano is a country lane with occasional scooters, cars, and delivery vans. The rural setting means early morning roosters or farm activity. The lack of a lift means stairs noise—people coming up or down with bags.
Insider tips
1) If you drive, request parking advice at check-in—many rural 3-star hotels have free but unmarked gravel lots; park away from the road to avoid scraping your car. 2) Ask the receptionist which room number has the best garden view and quietest position—they often know which rooms get the least foot traffic.
- 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

Sienaのトップ観光スポット
💡 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.
