The Property — Four Points by Sheraton
This Four Points sits just inside Siena's medieval walls, a five-minute walk from Piazza del Campo, so you get the convenience of the historic centre without the noise. The lobby is bright and modern, with polished marble floors and a neat front desk, but the real draw is the rooftop terrace overlooking the city's towers and terracotta roofs. It's a solid four-star for travellers who want a clean, reliable base with free Wi-Fi and a decent breakfast, not a boutique character stay. Suits couples and families who prioritise location over charm.
Chronicles of Siena
Siena was a powerful banking and trade centre during the Middle Ages, fiercely competing with Florence. Its distinctive Gothic architecture, centred on the fan-shaped Piazza del Campo, was largely built in the 13th and 14th centuries. The city's identity is still defined by the Palio, a bareback horse race run twice each summer around the piazza since 1656. Today, Siena is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a quiet university town, balancing its medieval legacy with modern Italian life.
Best Time to Visit
Full Siena guide →Best months
May, September, and October. Spring and autumn bring mild 20-25°C days and thin crowds, giving you space to enjoy the cathedral and museums without queues.
Peak / festival surge
July and August, with August centred on the 16th Palio di Provenzano, which fills hotels and stands. Prices can double during race week; book months ahead.
Budget shoulder season
April and November are the quietest shoulder months. April can be cool and rainy but offers discounts of 30-50% on summer rates; November is brisk but cheaper still.
Weather & packing
Siena sits on a hill and can feel windy even on sunny days, with sudden afternoon showers in summer. Pack layers: a light jacket for evenings, sturdy walking shoes for cobblestones, and a small umbrella.
Live City Briefing — Siena
- The Palio di Provenzano is on 2 July 2026 – expect city-wide closures from 28 June for race preparations; book transfers early.
- Siena's ZTL (limited traffic zone) enforcement is strict with new camera systems; if driving, confirm hotel parking in advance.
- The Fonte Gaia restoration in Piazza del Campo completed in 2025, but scaffolding remains around some cathedral side chapels.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Four Points by Sheraton, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on the 4th floor, which is the top floor, facing away from Via Antonio Lombardi toward the inner courtyard or countryside. These get less street noise and more light and privacy. Rooms on the Piano di Mantellini side may have some hillside noise but are generally quieter than street-facing ones.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor directly above the lobby or near the lift, as footfall and lift operations cause noise, especially during breakfast hours. Also skip rooms facing Via Antonio Lombardi (odd-numbered rooms typically front the street) on the 2nd floor; street traffic can be audible even if the road isn’t heavy.
Best views
Rooms on the upper floors (3-4) overlooking the inner courtyard or the surrounding hillsides give views over tiled roofs or green slopes. Sea-facing views aren’t an option, but Siena’s skyline and countryside are visible from the back side. Floor 4 rooms away from the street offer the best balance.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel sits on Via Antonio Lombardi, a real residential street about 1.2 km from Piazza del Campo (straight uphill). Street noise is moderate: light local traffic, occasional scooters, and pedestrian chatter at ground level. The unguarded parking area can cause car door thumps. The single lift is fairly quiet but audible as a low rumble in adjacent rooms.
Insider tips
1. Book the on-site parking (€15/night) in advance during summer; it’s a gamble otherwise—the nearest public garage is a steep 800m uphill stroll. 2. For Wi-Fi, avoid peak evening hours (7-10pm) if you need reliable video; morning and late-night work fine for basic browsing.
- 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

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.
