How To Get to the Apartment
Where to Park If You Arrive by Car
The apartment does not have private parking.
You can park free of charge in the white parking spaces around the Medici Fortress and along Viale Vittorio Veneto. Other options include the Il Campino car park and the parking area on Via Fruschelli.
Always check the signs indicating street-cleaning days: on the specified day, the car must be moved.
Never drive into Piazza Giacomo Matteotti, where the apartment is located. The square is within the restricted traffic zone (ZTL), which is monitored by cameras, and unauthorized access will result in a fine.
How to Get Here from Siena Train Station
The most convenient way to reach the apartment from Siena railway station is by taxi. Ask the driver to take you to Piazza Giacomo Matteotti 3.
Alternatively, you can take a local bus towards the city center and get off at Piazza Matteotti or at one of the nearby stops. We recommend checking the latest routes and timetables through the AT Bus app or the link below.
You can also walk to the apartment in approximately 20–25 minutes, but a taxi or bus is preferable if you are carrying heavy luggage.
