Siena for tradition lovers
The Palio di Siena is a famous and traditional horse race in the main square. If you want to experience this grand event, you must seek accommodation in Siena to rent for the dates of 2 July or 16 August, which are the two dates when it takes place. During this festival, ten horses and riders represent ten of the seventeen contrade (city wards). They are dressed in striking colours and the show has become an international tourist attraction. The Palio is the most important event in Siena and each contrade has its unique emblem and colours to represent them. There is a previous preparation of several days before the race day, that takes place the fourth day of the event. On the day of the Palio, the event starts early morning with a mass for the jockeys, followed by the confirmation of the jockey's names and around 3 pm, each contrada performs a ceremony until 5 pm. The winner of the race receives the Drappellone, This is truly a unique event you should not miss!
Siena for medieval lovers
Affordable holiday lettings in Siena make it possible to explore a city that, for many centuries, engaged in a significant rivalry with Florence in terms of urban planning. This rivalry led to the preservation of its Gothic appearance, acquired between the 12th and 15th centuries. Siena's unique and captivating charm lies in this well-preserved historical ambience. With iconic landmarks such as the Piccolomini Palace, the Fortezza Medicea, the Basilica dell'Osservanza, the Sanctuary of Santa Caterina, the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, and the Palazzo Pubblico (current City Hall), Siena vividly reflects its medieval past. For travellers who have a deep appreciation for the medieval era, considering a villa in Tuscany is an excellent choice. Tuscany's rolling hills, charming villages, and well-preserved medieval towns, including Siena, create the perfect backdrop for immersing oneself in this fascinating period of history.

Top 5 travel tips in Siena
1. Piazza del Campo
Piazza del Campo might be one of the most spectacular medieval squares in Europe. This old but magnificent square was built around the 13th century and it was where traders used to sell their wares. If you pay attention to the tiles on the floor you will notice they are divided into nine sections and each section represents the Nine people who ruled Sienna during medieval times. Now it is not the main place for selling goods but still remains the main hub of the city. Here you can visit the Palazzo Pubblico and climb to the top of the Torre del Mangia. For families exploring this historical gem, there are family-friendly holiday lettings in Siena that provide a comfortable and convenient base for your adventures.
2. A fine wine tasting
Lovers of good wine should not miss the opportunity to visit the Italian National Enoteca, which is based in Siena. Its objective is to disseminate, improve and promote the great Italian wines and make known the country's winemaking reality. There you can carry out a multitude of activities, sample some wines, take part in different events and enjoy exhibitions related to the world of wine.
3. Visit Siena Cathedral
The cathedral of Siena is an impressive black-and-white building that combines certain elements of French Gothic, Romanesque, and Classical architecture. The facade is a unique sight. Take a walk around it and visit the interiors to admire the decorations and the incredible mosaic floors made of marble or some of the works by Donatello and Michelangelo. And if you're drawn to the rich art and culture of Italy, consider exploring beyond Siena by venturing to Florence. The nearby city of Florence, renowned as the birthplace of the Renaissance, boasts an array of historic villas in Florence.
4. Climb to the top
Torre del Mangia is a tall secular tower that was built to be as tall as the cathedral meaning that both had the same power in the city. The name of the tower comes from its first bellringer, Giovanni di Balduccio, known as Mangiaguadagni, meaning the "profit-eater". From the top of the tower, you will see the beautiful views of Sienna and its 17 areas.
5. Fonte Gaia
You will see several fountains in Siena but Fonte Gaia is an architectural jewel. Jacopo della Quercia decorated it in the 15th century and it is a fountain like no other. Underground pipes bring the water to the fountain and that was a great achievement in those times when it was built. This is more than just a fountain and you should not miss it! To fully appreciate Siena's treasures, including Fonte Gaia, consider staying in an affordable holiday lettings in Siena to rent.
