Siena at its best
Siena, is one of our favorite city in Tuscany. If you spend a week with us at Fontanaro don’t miss a day trip to this city.
To park in Siena we suggest you: PARCHEGGIO SANTA CATERINA, located in via Baldassarre Peruzzi
( one hour by car far from here).
First of all, we should visit the city with the stomach full, so here you are our favorite restaurants:
For my mum the best is Osteria le Logge, a must in Siena. We always go there when in the city!
Here is our best itinerarie for the city:
– Going up to the top the tower in Piazza del Campo and watch the delightful panorama of the city (remember to have with you the camera).
– A visit to the Cathedral and baptistero of Siena. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siena_Cathedral
– A visit to the Fortezza, on Wednesday there is also the public market!! http://www.comune.siena.it/main.asp?id=1481&l=en
For best Cheese and wine of Siena and best RICCIARELLI: ANTICA PIZZICHERIA DI SIENA – DE MICCOLI. PALAZZO DELLA CHIGIANA
It is located in Via di Citta 95. It is more expensive than the others but the quality is at a very high level. It is the priceless experience.Ask for the local red wine! I’m a sommelier and i can say that is the best house wine of the city!!! Don’t miss a taste of Pietrafitta from san Gimignano wines.
We recommend also the biscuits Ricciarelli (made only with natural ingredients) and cheese to take home!
On the way back home at il Fontanaro, a must is to sop on the free high way Siena Perugia, at Serre di Rapolano, for one of the best Italian Autogrill, from Menchetti, bakery since 1948. To taste a delicious Tuscan made pizza or bread.
