Siena and its surroundings, in the heart of tuscany, represent the final destination for luxury hotel accommodation in Italy.

Many historic villas are now exclusive 5-star hotels, even more antique farmhouses offer high-class luxury services. Day-trips to art cities such us San Gimignano, Monteriggioni, the Chianti, Montalcino, Florence, Pisa, hidden medioeval villages and abbeys, all the way to tuscany's coast; all these attractions lie in a 100-hundred miles range from Siena.
It will be an unforgettable and relaxing vacation... or make it an hardcore shopping adventure!

The high season (i.e. good weather) starts around mid-april and lasts until mid-october; hottest months july and august.
Peculiar to Siena is the palio, a traditional horserace competition held in Piazza del Campo (the faboulous main square) twice a year; finding an accomodation, or even acommodation, during the palio gets pretty tough -> reserve now!

Many hotels organize guided wine-tours to the most famous wineries of the Chianti, they also have shops at the reception for typical products: olive oil, wine, pottery, leather goods etc.
