A propriedade — Piturnella
Piturnella is a no-frills three-star hotel a ten-minute walk north of Siena’s historic centre, with a beige brick façade and a small garden out back. The lobby is compact and functional — tiled floor, a desk with a computer terminal for check-in, a rack of tourist brochures. It suits independent travellers and small families who want a clean, quiet base without paying for historic atmosphere or restaurant service. The USP is location: within easy walking distance of Piazza del Campo, but off the main tourist drag.
Crónicas de Siena
Siena was founded by the Etruscans and later became a Roman military colony called Saena Julia. Its medieval heyday reached a peak in the 13th and 14th centuries, when the city-state built the iconic Piazza del Campo and the Gothic Duomo, and competed fiercely with Florence. The Black Death of 1348 halved the population and ended Siena’s expansion, freezing its urban layout in the Gothic form it retains today — narrow cobbled lanes and brick palazzi. Modern Siena is a UNESCO World Heritage site, a university town, and a banking centre that leans heavily on tourism for the Palio horse race and its intact medieval core.
Melhor época para visitar
Guia completo de Siena →Melhores meses
May and September offer comfortable temperatures (18–25°C) and moderate crowds, avoiding the July-August heat and the Palio chaos. June is also good but can get hot by late month.
Peak / Festival Surge
July is the peak month, specifically 2 July (Palio di Provenzano) and 16 August (Palio dell’Assunta). The city swells to capacity, hotel prices often double, and rooms sell out months ahead. The Palio — a bareback horse race around Piazza del Campo — drives nearly all of the demand.
Orçamento da temporada
April and October are the best shoulder months: lower prices, mild weather (12–20°C), and fewer tourists visiting the cathedral and museums. April can still see rain; October has shorter days but crisp light.
Tempo e embalagem
Siena sits on a hilltop, so summer evenings can drop 10°C even after a hot day; a light jacket or cardigan is essential. Pack comfortable walking shoes — the historic centre is hilly and largely pedestrianised.
Livro City Briefing — Siena
- The Piazza del Campo is closed to vehicles during July for the Palio preparations, and the entire historic centre may have restricted access on race day (2 July 2026).
- The Siena Cathedral’s Piccolomini Library is undergoing conservation work in summer 2026; check opening hours as some frescoes may be behind scaffolding.
- Siena has introduced a new electronic ticketing system for the Torre del Mangia, requiring advance booking online to avoid long waits.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Piturnella, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request an upper floor room (third or fourth) facing the interior courtyard. These are furthest from the street and likely quieter given the central Siena location.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the entrance or lift; street noise from pedestrians and traffic on the narrow medieval lanes can carry.
Best views
Upper floor rooms facing the rear courtyard offer a glimpse of Siena's terracotta rooftops and distant towers, if oriented that way; street-facing rooms give a slice of historic lane life but trade peace for panorama.
Quietest floors
Third and fourth floors are quietest, as they sit above the street hum and any lobby bustle, assuming the lift doesn't run past 22:00.
🔊 Noise notes
Siena's centre has cobblestones and limited traffic, but Vespas, pedestrians chatting late, and garbage collection (usually 07:00-08:00) are the main sources. The lobby area can be buzzy with tour groups gathering.
Insider tips
1. Ask for a room on the third floor or higher via email before arrival – the lift is small (fits 2 with luggage), so a higher floor spares you schlepping bags. 2. Check-in can be slow if groups arrive; aim for 14:00-15:00. 3. If you have a car, note that Siena's ZTL (limited traffic zone) is active; park at Parcheggio Il Campo or Stadio and walk in.
- 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

A small lift serves all three floors; there are no stairs-only sections.
No physical newspapers; a selection of Italian and international digital titles is available via PressReader on the lobby tablet. The building is a converted 17th-century townhouse, so the stone staircase and original terracotta floors are retained.
Standard check-in from 14:00 to 22:00. Early bag drop allowed from 11:00. Late check-out until 14:00 costs 30 EUR, if available.
Free of charge for day-of-arrival bags dropped before check-in or after check-out on departure day.
No step at the street entrance, but the lift is narrow (70 cm wide) and may not accommodate large wheelchairs. One ground-floor room (No. 101) has a roll-in shower and grab bars, book it directly.
No on-site parking. The nearest public car park is Parcheggio Il Campo (Via dei Termini 5–7), open 24h, cost 2.50 EUR/hour (max 20.00 EUR/24h). No EV charging on site.
Taxas, Taxas e Depósitos
City / tourist tax: 2.00 EUR per person per night, waived for under-12s, payable at check-out
Deposit & card hold: Full prepayment of first night is taken upon booking; a 50 EUR incidental hold is placed on the card at check-in
Dinheiro e moeda
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATMs inside banks for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux near Piazza del Campo and the train station, which charge poor rates and high fees.
Cards are widely accepted in restaurants, shops, and hotels; contactless and mobile pay are standard for most transactions under €50.
Rounding up the bill or leaving a few euros is appreciated but not expected; taxis round up to the nearest euro; hotel porters can get €1-2 per bag.
Comer, Comprar e Viajar em um Orçamento
Cheap car hire →A standard espresso at the counter in any bar runs about €1.00-€1.20; sitting at a table doubles or triples the price.
A slice of pizza or a panino from a bakery or rosticceria costs around €4-€6, often with a drink.
A basic pasta or main dish in a trattoria outside the historic centre costs roughly €10-€14.
Look for bakeries (forni) and small delis along Via Cavour and around the Mercato di Scandicci for cheap pizza, focaccia, and cooked meat to go.
Conad, Coop, and MD are the main budget supermarket chains; Conad at Via Montanini is handy for central Siena.
Via dei Rossi and Via di Città have mid-range Italian chains (like OVS or Bata); for cheaper basics, try the Coop's clothing section.
The cheapest way to get around the old town is walking — it's compact; for longer trips, a single bus ticket (€1.70) is valid for 75 minutes. From Florence airport, take a shuttle to Florence SMN station, then the direct Tiemme bus (€8.20 one-way).
Eat lunch at a bar counter instead of a sit-down table. Carry a refillable water bottle — public fountains (fontanelle) provide free sparkling and still water. Visit the main sights on weekdays to avoid peak-ticket prices and crowds.

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.

💡 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.

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.
