财产 — Charme Centro Storico Apartment
The Charme Centro Storico is a small collection of serviced apartments carved out of a medieval palazzo just off Piazza del Campo. It feels like staying in a friend’s stylish city flat: exposed stone walls, modern kitchenettes, and a quiet courtyard where you can drink coffee before the crowds arrive. There’s no concierge or restaurant, so it suits independent travellers who want genuine Sienese atmosphere rather than hotel anonymity. You’re steps from the Duomo and the shell-shaped square, but the thick walls keep street noise at bay.
Siena编年史
Siena was founded as a Roman settlement (Saena Julia) under Emperor Augustus, but its golden age arrived in the 12th–14th centuries as a fiercely independent republic rivalling Florence. The city’s Gothic architecture—especially the striped-marble Duomo and the Palazzo Pubblico—was largely completed by 1348, when the Black Death halted expansion. Today Siena’s identity is defined by the Palio, a twice-yearly bareback horse race around Piazza del Campo that dates to the 17th century, and by a deeply conservative preservation ethic that has kept the historic centre almost unchanged. The contrade (neighbourhood districts) still govern local life, with their own churches, museums, and annual feasts.
参观的最佳时间
Siena完整指南 →最佳月
May–June and September–October: warm sunshine (20–28°C), fewer tourists than July–August, and clear skies for exploring the walled city.
峰会 / 节日 Surge
July–August, especially 2 July (first Palio) and 16 August (second Palio). Hotels double or triple their rates; rooms book out six months ahead. The city is packed, hot (often 35°C+), and noisy with festival preparations.
预算肩部季节
March–April and October–November: room rates drop 30–50% vs summer, weather is mild (10–20°C), and you can see the Palio museum without queues.
天气 & 包装
Siena is built on a hill and can be windy even in summer; a light jacket or pashmina is useful for evening walks. Pack comfortable walking shoes: the historic centre is almost entirely cobblestone and pedestrian-only.
城市简介 — Siena
- Siena’s ZTL (limited traffic zone) is strictly enforced by camera; if you arrive by car, arrange parking through the hotel in advance—public garages like Parcheggio San Francesco cost about €25/day.
- The Duomo’s Piccolomini Library reopened in autumn 2025 after a two-year restoration; check timed-entry slots online before visiting.
- The 2026 Palio dates are confirmed for 2 July and 16 August; expect road closures and a security cordon around Piazza del Campo from 48 hours before each race.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Charme Centro Storico Apartment, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the second floor (the apartment you’re booking) at the rear of the building, away from Via Giovanni Duprè. The street is a busy pedestrian route connecting Piazza del Campo to the Duomo, so rear-facing rooms will be quieter.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid any room on the first floor or facing the street – street noise from foot traffic, restaurants, and early-morning deliveries will be noticeable. Also avoid rooms near the stairwell if possible, as footsteps carry in old stone buildings.
Best views
The best view would be from a second-floor window facing the narrow alley – you’ll see red-tiled rooftops and maybe a sliver of the Duomo’s bell tower. Street-side views look onto Via Giovanni Duprè’s shops and passersby, but with more noise.
Quietest floors
The apartment is only on the second floor, so that’s your only option. Second floor is quieter than lower floors thanks to being above street level, but still not silent due to the building’s age.
🔊 Noise notes
Via Giovanni Duprè is a main pedestrian thoroughfare – expect chatter, restaurant clatter, and scooter noise until late evening. In summer, windows don’t block much sound. The building has no lift, so stairwell noise from luggage hauling is possible.
Insider tips
1. Use Parcheggio Il Campo (€25/day) – it’s a 5-minute walk but Siena’s ZTL will fine you for entering the historic centre without a permit. Unload luggage at the address first, then drive to the car park. 2. Check in early if you can – the second-floor stairs are steep so you’ll want natural light to see the keypad/code at the door; after dark, the street lighting is dim.
- 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

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →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

Siena热门景点
💡 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.
