Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Casa Cecchi B&B, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Upper-floor rooms at the rear of the building (away from Strada di Istieto) are likely quieter. Request a top-floor room on the south side for the clearest views over the surrounding countryside, given the address is on a hill road outside the historic centre.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on the ground floor or directly facing Strada di Istieto, especially near the front entrance. This is a main road with traffic noise, and ground-floor rooms won't give you the elevation or view the B&B's position could offer.
Best views
From upper floors facing south or west – open hillside and vineyard views across the Sienese countryside. The address is on a suburban road just outside Siena's walls, so you'll see fields, not the historic centre skyline.
Quietest floors
First floor and above (if the B&B has two or more floors), with preference for the topmost. No lift mentioned, so you'll climb stairs – that usually means less noise from neighbours above.
🔊 Noise notes
Strada di Istieto is a local road with moderate traffic (cars, scooters, buses) during the day. No bar or restaurant on site, but the B&B's own check-in area and breakfast room may generate noise on ground floor until late morning.
Insider tips
1. Parking in Siena is tight – this address is on a hill road with limited on-street spaces. Confirm if the B&B has a reserved spot or can advise where to park free of restrictions. 2. Since there's no lift, request a lower floor if you have heavy luggage, but know you'll trade that for quiet. Pack light if you want the quietest top-floor room.
- 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

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.
