INFORMATION ABOUT SIENA
Renting an apartment in Tuscany is to live like the Tuscan's do. All our Siena apartments have been carefully chosen for their location and for their comfort. Renting an apartment in Siena's traffic free historic center, winding roads, medieval homes, towers, and great artistic monuments offers an ideal setting for a Tuscan visit.
Just a few miles away from the wine producing regions of Chianti and Montalcino, and from the historic towns of San Gimigniano, Pienza, Montepulciano, Monteriggioni, and San Quirico d'Orcia, Siena is ideal for artistic and gourmet tourism in all seasons.
Siena's University for Foreigners offers a rich program in language and culture courses, and the Accademia Chigiana has music courses as well as a summer music festival.
If you come here in August don't miss the Palio - a horse race in the center of town.
Even better Siena is just fifty minutes by bus or car from Florence (for accommodation in Florence please visit our Florence-Accom website).
