부동산 — The Community
The Community is a converted 17th-century convent turned design hostel: think exposed brick arches, communal long tables, and a buzzy bar that feels more like a social club than a hotel lobby. Rooms are clean and minimal, with dorm beds and private doubles sharing a sunny internal courtyard. It’s best for solo travellers, young couples, or anyone who wants to meet people over an espresso and a map of the city.
Siena 연대기
Siena was founded as a Roman settlement, but its golden age came in the 12th–14th centuries as a fiercely independent republic rivaling Florence. Its Gothic core—narrow alleys, the scallop-shell Piazza del Campo, and the striped marble Duomo—was largely built in that period and remains almost untouched. Today, it’s a UNESCO World Heritage site known for the twice-yearly Palio horse race and a strong local identity that resists chain stores and mass tourism.
방문하기 가장 좋은 시간
Siena 완전 가이드 →최고의 달
May, June, September—warm, sunny, and the main tourist crush hasn’t arrived or has thinned; the countryside is green, and the city feels lived-in.
Peak / Festival Surge 근처 오락거리
July and August (especially the Palio on 2 July and 16 August). Temperatures hit 35°C+, hotel prices double, and the streets jam with visitors. The Palio brings thousands into the Piazza del Campo for the bareback horse race around the square.
Budget Shoulder 시즌
April and October. Milder weather, lower room rates, and still most sights open. You’ll dodge the queues at the Duomo and have the alleyways to yourself.
날씨 & 포장
Siena sits on a hill, so summer heat can bake the exposed piazzas while shaded side streets stay cool. Pack a sun hat, a reusable water bottle, and a light cardigan for evening breezes—temperatures can drop 10–15°C after sunset.
City Briefing 근처 오락거리 — Siena
- The Palio di Siena runs on 2 July and 16 August 2026; book The Community well ahead, as prices spike and rooms fill fast for both dates.
- Siena’s bus station at Piazza Gramsci is undergoing a renovation until late 2026, with temporary stops on Viale Vittorio Veneto—check timetables for shuttle changes.
- A new guided rooftop tour of the Duomo complex launched in spring 2026, offering access to the rarely seen terrace above the facade.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to The Community, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on the 2nd or 3rd floor facing the internal courtyard. These are above street level, reducing Vicolo del Tiratoio traffic noise, and the courtyard buffers sound from the narrow alley. The 3-star rating and alley location mean rooms here are small but decently quiet mid-week.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor facing the street (Vicolo del Tiratoio). This alley is narrow, so ground-floor windows get foot traffic echoes and the occasional scooter. Also avoid rooms adjoining the lift shaft — typical in older buildings converted to hotels, and the lift can be audible.
Best views
Limited view given the 3-star location on a narrow alley. Rooms on the upper 2nd floor might see rooftops and glimpses of Siena's towers (like the Torre del Mangia if oriented west). The internal courtyard view is nicer than the street, but expect a clean if uninspiring vista of local stone walls.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3. The hotel has no lift (common in 3-star Sienese properties) so these floors are quieter simply because fewer guests pass by. The 3rd floor might have slightly lower ceilings but better isolation from street noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Vicolo del Tiratoio is a secondary street, not a main artery, but narrow alleys amplify voices, footsteps, and occasional scooters. Expect some street noise during daytime (especially Saturday market days). Late evening quiet by 22:00 in the off-season, but summer Siena tourist chatter can linger until midnight. The lift motor, if present, might hum on early mornings — verify at check-in.
Insider tips
1. Parking is a pain in central Siena. Use the Fortezza parking garage (Piazza della Libertà) or the San Francesco lot — both a 10-minute walk. Drop luggage first at the hotel since Vicolo del Tiratoio is pedestrianised but you can get a taxi to stop at the corner of Via Camollia. 2. Ask for a room on the courtyard side when booking directly — some online portals don't let you specify, but a polite email requesting 'cortile interno, piano alto' (internal courtyard, high floor) often works.
- 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.
