A propriedade — B&B La Chicca
B&B La Chicca is a small, family-run three-star in a residential street just south of Siena’s historic core. The lobby feels more like a well-kept living room than a reception desk: tiled floors, a few wooden chairs, and a shelf of local guidebooks. It suits independent travellers who value quiet, cleanliness and a proper breakfast terrace over hotel frills. The USP is the rooftop garden with direct views of the Duomo’s bell tower — you can eat your morning pastry while watching Siena wake up.
Crónicas de Siena
Siena was founded as a Roman military settlement called Saena Julia in the 1st century BC. It grew into a wealthy banking and wool-trading republic that rivalled Florence during the Middle Ages. The city’s Gothic architecture — narrow brick alleys, the fan-shaped Piazza del Campo, the striped marble Duomo — was largely built between the 12th and 14th centuries. A Black Death epidemic in 1348 halted further expansion, preserving Siena’s medieval layout almost intact. Today it’s a UNESCO World Heritage site, proud of its long-running neighbourhood horse race, the Palio.
Melhor época para visitar
Guia completo de Siena →Melhores meses
May and June offer warm, sunny days (22–28°C) with fewer tourists than July/August, plus the chance to see the Palio rehearsals. September is equally pleasant after the summer heat subsides, with harvest festivals in the surrounding Chianti hills.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are the hottest (peaks above 35°C) and busiest months. The Palio di Siena on 2 July and 16 August drives hotel prices up by 50–100%, and rooms booked months ahead. Expect packed piazzas, long queues at major sights, and limited restaurant availability.
Orçamento da temporada
April and October are the best budget months: temperatures hover 15–20°C, crowds thin, and hotel rates drop 20–30%. April brings spring blossoms; October offers grape-harvest atmosphere in nearby wineries. Rain is more likely but manageable.
Tempo e embalagem
Siena has a continental microclimate — summer mornings can be cool despite afternoon heat, and sudden thunderstorms are common June–September. Pack a light jumper or pashmina for evenings and a compact umbrella you can keep in your day bag.
Livro City Briefing — Siena
- The ZTL (limited traffic zone) around the city centre has been extended eastward since early 2025; driverless electric shuttles now connect the Piazza Gramsci car park to the Piazza del Campo from 8am–8pm. Visitors arriving by car must register their licence plate with the hotel to avoid fines.
- The Museo dell’Opera del Duomo reopened its newly expanded basement gallery in March 2026, displaying Duccio’s Maestà (the 14th-century altarpiece) under improved lighting and climate control. Book timed entry at least three days ahead.
- Siena’s summer opera season begins the first week of July at the Teatro dei Rinnovati; advanced ticket sales opened mid-May. This year’s programme features Puccini’s Tosca and a new chamber-music courtyard series at the Palazzo Chigi-Saracini.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to B&B La Chicca, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first or second floor (one above ground level) facing away from Viale Pannilunghi. The inner courtyard side is quieter, and upper floors get better light. One ground-floor accessible room is available for mobility needs, but prefer first floor for air and calm.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms overlooking Viale Pannilunghi. The street carries early-morning traffic and pedestrian noise from the route to Piazza del Campo. Also skip rooms directly beside the lift on any floor, as the lift mechanism is audible through thin walls.
Best views
Front-facing rooms on upper floors give a partial view over the historic centre and the Duomo beyond. The inner-courtyard rooms have no notable view, just a quiet outlook.
Quietest floors
Floors 1 and 2 are the quietest – far enough from the street and from any service entrance on the ground floor. The lift serves all three floors without issue.
🔊 Noise notes
Viale Pannilunghi is a main access road into Siena’s centro storico, so morning traffic begins around 6:30 AM, with occasional motorbikes and delivery vans. The lift cycle is audible in adjacent rooms, especially during 8–10 AM and 6–8 PM check-in/out rushes. No bar or restaurant on-site, so no late-night venue noise.
Insider tips
Parking: use Parking Il Campo (€20/night) and drop luggage first at the B&B via Viale Pannilunghi – the street is narrow but drivable for a quick stop. Check-in: confirm they will send door codes for late arrivals – the ramp entrance is easy but the street door locks after 20:00 unless arranged.
- 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.

💡 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.

Principais atrações em 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.
