(It
is necessary to book in advance)
(Prices on request)
We can provide a LaudryService
(washmachine clothes) at a small cost:
our Elena will care it, in case also ironing your clothes.
If you want Siena to be your starting point to visit our wonderful surroundings, we can help you to find rental cars, or booking one at a local Agency, or suggesting to you an International Broker operating through Internet, that has unbeatable prices, or scooters through a local renter, at a better price, for one, two or more days. Automatic cars may be available upon request.
A three-hour guided tour of the town will show all the most important sights of Siena, by walking through the streets of the City. We can arrange it at a very low cost, only for you, or for a group of max 6 people.

For those interested in sports, we can book a tennis court,
three minutes away, or a horse back ride with a guide
in the woods near the Hermitage of Lecceto.
If you are golfer and would like to play among our
Tuscan hills, we'll get you in touch with each Golf Course.

For adventurous people, it's possible to book a balloon flight, for a tour overlooking the City and its surroundings like swallows in the wind: weather-dependent, of course, and rather expensive (around Euro 300 per person) but a terrific experience.
...... suggestions
If you have any doubt about transportations ( what is better? train, bus,
car ?) don't hesitate to ask for us: consider that we know our transportations
better than any Travel Agent, and often isn't absolutely necessary to
have already bought your tickets; on the opposite, it could be more expensive,
and it could take off the possibility to change your plan. E.G: none of
Travel Agents knows there is an excellent Bus Service from and to Rome
( faster, easier and cheaper that any train), or that it's a nonsense
to go to Florence first and then to Rome by train: it's true that the
fastest trains go through Florence but you have to reach it, and hope
to have a good connection, if not you stay in the Station a long time,
waiting for the Fast Train!
If you are planning to visit Uffizi, Accademia or other
of the most famous Museums in Florence in a daytrip from Siena, remember,
at least, to ask to us what is the best timetable in the day for booking
them: sometimes people forget that Florence is at least one hour far from
here, and if they haven't a car, to go there on a working day can be different
than on a Feast day ( these days, public transportations have reduced
services).
The reservation is absolutely necessary if you want to avoid descouraging
lines ( but also for Vatican Museums in Rome, or the Last Supper in Milan
is the same!).
Another good suggestion could solve the problem of the
long itinerary from Siena to Sorrento Coast, avoiding the many changes
of the trains:
E.g.: taking the 10:52 Bus to Rome you would arrive at
Tiburtina station at 1:35 just in time to have a light lunch, buy the
tickets for the other Company of Buses that reaches Sorrento, and seat
on board: the Bus for Sorrento leaves at 3 pm each working day, and take
you there before 7 pm.
All this is direct from Siena to Rome without any change,
and from Rome to Sorrento the same direct without any change !
We'll help you to arrange this solution.
.......In addition to Milan or Rome Airport check also Florence or Pisa:
one of them has, at least seasonally, a direct Flight from JFK..
For making your vacation starts just at your departure Airport, we can
manage for a Driver at your arrival in Pisa, taking you
here at Euro 160 (and around 110 from Florence Airport): very interesting,
especially if you are three or four persons! ....... forgetting luggage,
trains, schedules, directions, traffic and so on.
What's more, as cheaper solution ( Euro 14 pp), there also is a new
Bus ride from Pisa Airport directly to Siena ( withourt any change,
2 hours exactly): it departs from the Airport at 2:30 pm.
Your arrival is earlier ? and you would like to take a look of the famous
Leaning Tower?
Every 9 min a Shuttle to the Center of Pisa departs from the Airport,
and the same from the Center to the Airport.
We only need a two-week notice.
