부동산 — Podere San Raffaele
Podere San Raffaele is a working farmhouse on the southern edge of Siena, wrapped in olive groves and cypress trees. The lobby feels like a calm country kitchen with stone floors, a wood-beam ceiling and the faint scent of hay from the nearby stables. It suits budget-conscious couples or solo travellers who want a quiet, self-catering base within driving distance of the historic centre (10 minutes by car) and are happy to swap city-centre convenience for rural peace.
Siena 연대기
Siena was founded as an Etruscan settlement and later became a major banking and wool-trading republic that rivalled Florence. Its Gothic core was largely built between the 13th and 14th centuries, most visibly in the fan-shaped Piazza del Campo and the striped-marble Duomo. After a plague in 1348 ended its golden age, the city stagnated, preserving its medieval street plan and brick architecture. Today Siena thrives on tourism and the twice-yearly Palio horse race, fiercely retaining its local identity against the pull of globalised culture.
방문하기 가장 좋은 시간
Siena 완전 가이드 →최고의 달
May, June and September — warm days (25-28°C), low rainfall, and fewer queues at major sights than July-August.
Peak / Festival Surge 근처 오락거리
July and August, especially around Palio heats (2 July) and the main race (16 August). Hotel prices can double; advance booking is essential. The August Palio week draws huge crowds to the piazza and spikes demand across the province.
Budget Shoulder 시즌
Late September through October offers mild temperatures (20-24°C), lower rates and still-good daylight for sightseeing.
날씨 & 포장
Siena can get a stiff, cool breeze even on a hot July afternoon, especially on exposed hilltops. Pack layers: a light jacket or cardigan for evening, plus sturdy walking shoes for cobbled inclines.
City Briefing 근처 오락거리 — Siena
- The shuttle bus from the car parks outside the historic centre (e.g. Stadio, Fortezza) runs frequently in summer; check the Tiemme app for real-time updates as timetables shift for Palio events.
- A new pedestrian-only zone was introduced around Piazza del Campo from June 2025, reducing scooter traffic but also blocking some service vehicles — expect longer wait times for restaurant deliveries and outdoor seating.
- Visitors arriving by car: the ZTL (limited traffic zone) is strictly enforced with cameras; you must pre-register your vehicle if your accommodation is inside the walls, otherwise park at designated lots outside.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Podere San Raffaele, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first floor (European first, i.e. one flight up) facing the interior courtyard or garden. These are likely to be quieter and have better natural light than ground-floor rooms, which may be darker and closer to reception.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the entrance or reception area, as these may pick up noise from early check-ins, luggage handling, and staff movements. Also avoid rooms facing the street if the hotel is on a main road through Siena.
Best views
Siena is a hilltown, so rooms on the first or second floor facing the hills or the old town may offer a view of the classic Tuscan landscape or rooftops. Ask specifically for a 'camera con vista sulle colline'.
Quietest floors
First and second floors (European first and second). In a small 3-star property these upper floors are less likely to have foot traffic from guests passing through.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise is possible if the property is on a through road (even a small one in Siena) as Italian towns can have mopeds, vans, and early-morning deliveries. Also check if the hotel has a breakfast room that opens early, as this can generate clatter from cups and chairs.
Insider tips
1. If you're driving, ask ahead about parking — many 3-star properties in Siena have limited or paid parking, and the ZTL (restricted traffic zone) makes it tricky to arrive by car. 2. Request the keycode or door code for late check-in, as small hotels often close reception after dinner.
- 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

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.
