About The Experience

Situated along one of the oldest and most prestigious streets in the city, this third-floor apartment is a wonderful place for a small family who wants to stay in the heart of downtown Siena. The apartment is housed in an early-16th-century building and has partial views of Il Duomo. The vibrant city scene is just steps away -- architectural wonders, restaurants and museums are all within close proximity.

Location Description

The apartment is located on Via di Città, a prestigious street in the center of Siena, between Il Duomo and Piazza del Campo. The street is located in a limited-access area which can only be reached to drop off or pick up luggage. The apartment is a few steps from shops, restaurants, cafes, museums and major sites. The world-famous horse race, Il Palio, is held on July 2 and August 16 each year in the central square. Visit the renowned Palazzo Comunale and its famous Torre Del Mangia or explore the art and monuments in the Museo Civico, Il Duomo, Il Battistero and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale Etrusco. You are also within driving distance of the wine producing regions of the Chianti and the historic towns of San Gimignano, Monteriggioni and Cortona. By train you can reach Florence, Lucca and Pisa.
