Siena
hotels
Siena is the perfect introduction to the celebrated Tuscany hill
towns, with the towers of San Gimignano and the Etruscan shadows
of Volterra close at hand. Siena doesn't have enough hotels to meet
the demand, so book in advance. It's worth considering staying somewhere
in the outskirts with a bus service into town. Siena, San Gimignano
and the Chianti area are among the most visited places in Tuscany,
so there's no lack of choice for hotels. The best accommodations,
however, are often a couple of miles outside Siena. There are lots
of old villas, castles and monasteries converted into charming,
first rate hotels, as well as simplar agriturismo (agritourist)
farmhouses, usually available on a weekly basis. The Siena location
makes a car necessary, but the splendor of the surroundings usually
outweights any problems getting in and out of Siena town.
Unless statled, prices are for a room with ensuite bathroom, per
night and include breakfast. |
