The Property — Agriturismo Andreini
Agriturismo Andreini is a working farm 10km north of Siena, set among olive groves and cypress trees. The atmosphere is calm and rural – think terracotta floors, simple wooden furniture and a pool looking over the valley. It suits travellers who want to be near Siena without the tourist bustle, and who appreciate honest, home-cooked Tuscan food. Standing in the small reception, you smell rosemary and hear chickens scratching outside; it’s not luxury, but it’s genuinely lived-in.
Chronicles of Siena
Siena was founded by the Etruscans and became a major banking and trade centre in the 12th-14th centuries under its republican government. Its Gothic architecture – the shell-shaped Piazza del Campo, the striped marble Duomo – was mostly built in the 1200s-1300s, giving the city a remarkably consistent medieval look. The fierce rivalry with Florence shaped its identity, culminating in the Battle of Montaperti (1260). Today Siena is a Unesco World Heritage site, and locals still organise the Palio horse race twice a summer, a raw, unscripted event that defines the city’s spirit.
Best Time to Visit
Full Siena guide →Best months
May and September: sunny, 22-28°C, crowds are moderate, and the landscape is green or harvest-ready. June also works well before the July heat and Palio madness.
Peak / festival surge
July and August, especially 2 July and 16 August for the Palio horse race in Piazza del Campo. Hotel prices can double, and the city floods with visitors. Siena becomes crowded, hot (often 35°C+) and accommodation books months ahead.
Budget shoulder season
April, October and early November: temperatures 12-20°C, fewer tourists, and hotel rates drop significantly. October brings the olive harvest, and the city feels lived-in rather than touristed.
Weather & packing
Siena sits on a hilltop, so it can be 5-10°C cooler than Florence at night, even in summer. Pack a light jacket or cardigan for evenings, and comfortable walking shoes for the steep, cobbled streets.

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.

Top Attractions in 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.
