부동산 — La Chiusa
La Chiusa is a compact, family-run three-star just inside Siena's medieval walls. The lobby feels more like a private sitting room than a hotel reception — stone floors, wooden beams, a real fireplace. Rooms are functional but spotless, with shutters that open onto narrow, quiet alleys. It suits couples or solo travellers who want an authentic, unfussy base inside the old city without paying Porta Romana prices.
Siena 연대기
Siena was founded as the Roman colony Saena Julia under Augustus, but its real wealth came from the via Francigena pilgrimage route and medieval banking. The shell-shaped Piazza del Campo and the striped Duomo were built during the 13th and 14th centuries, when Siena was a fierce rival of Florence. The city's golden age ended with the Black Death of 1348, which killed half the population. Today Siena is a Unesco World Heritage site, famous for its preserved Gothic architecture and the twice-yearly Palio horse race around the Campo. Contemporary cultural identity still revolves around the contrade — 17 neighbourhood societies that organise the Palio and dominate local pride and rivalry.
방문하기 가장 좋은 시간
Siena 완전 가이드 →최고의 달
May, June and September offer long, warm days (25–30°C), low rainfall and tourist numbers that are busy but manageable. The landscape is green in late spring and golden in early autumn.
Peak / Festival Surge 근처 오락거리
July and August are peak due to European school holidays and the Palio di Provenzano on 2 July (the other Palio is 16 August). Hotel prices double or triple; La Chiusa will likely sell out months ahead. Crowds in the Piazza del Campo and the Duomo reach crush level on race days.
Budget Shoulder 시즌
October and early November give mild 15–20°C weather, much lower hotel rates, and fewer queues at the Duomo and Palazzo Pubblico. The vendemmia (grape harvest) finishes, so local wines are fresh in the enotecas.
날씨 & 포장
Siena sits on a hilltop at 322 metres, so summer evenings can drop 10 degrees below daytime highs — a light jacket or wrap is essential. Pack sturdy walking shoes: the city is steep, cobbled, and built on three ridges, so you'll climb stairs constantly.
City Briefing 근처 오락거리 — Siena
- The new Siena bike-share scheme (e-bikes) launched in early 2026, with 15 stations including one near Piazza Umberto I, a 10-minute walk from La Chiusa.
- Bus route S10 from Siena railway station now runs every 15 minutes until 23:00, replacing the old 77 line; tickets cost €1.70 and must be bought at the tabacchi before boarding.
- The Palazzo delle Papesse reopened in April 2026 after a two-year renovation, now housing a contemporary art collection alongside its original Renaissance frescoes.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to La Chiusa, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third floor at the back of the building (cortile side). These rooms are above street level for some quiet, and the rear orientation avoids the slight traffic hum from Via del Casato di Sotto, the main approach road.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor facing the street (Via del Casato di Sotto side). They catch direct street noise from early morning delivery vans and pedestrian chatter along this narrow historic lane, and the lower height offers no decent view.
Best views
Rooms facing east or south-east (towards the Duomo) give a glimpse of Siena's iconic cathedral dome and terracotta rooftops. A rear room on floor four might catch a sliver of the Val d'Orcia hills beyond the city wall.
Quietest floors
Floors three and four are genuinely quiet. Upper floors benefit from the stone building's sound insulation, and the lift serves the third and fourth floors reliably, so you won't strain yourself climbing narrow medieval stairs.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise along Via del Casato di Sotto is moderate – cars, scooters, and the occasional tour group passing. The hotel sits on a slight slope, so lower rooms at the back may pick up echo from the internal courtyard if guests are talking late.
Insider tips
1. Ask for a room on floor three or four facing south-east: you'll see the Duomo and the view makes the extra stairs worthwhile. 2. If driving, request the free parking spot (if available) in the hotel's small garage – otherwise street parking is tight and expensive. 3. The lift is small (fits 2 people with bags), so request a top-floor room to avoid climbing the last two flights with luggage.
- 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

Affordable chains like OVS and Terranova on Via Banchi di Sopra; also the weekly market on Wednesday morning at Fortezza Medicea or Largo Brennero.

Buy a Siena Card or combine city passes only if you plan to visit multiple museums. Drink standing at bars rather than at tables (surcharge). Shop for groceries at Conad or Coop for picnic supplies.

Where to Eat
💡 Booking tip: For popular restaurants in Siena, book at least a week ahead — especially for weekend evenings and during festival season.
Your arrival at La Chiusa
🕒 Check-in is from . Arriving earlier? Most hotels store luggage free — just ask at reception.
🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →주위를 둘러보는
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.

Siena 주요 관광지
💡 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.
