房源位置

Villa Rinaldi, just a few kilometres from the centre of Siena, is immersed in the green of the centuries-old trees of the Montagnola Senese Park, an authentic green lung considered a "Site of Community Importance" by virtue of the geological and botanical heritage that characterises it. The villa is located along a residential road in the small borgo of Santa Colomba, dominated by a 14th century castle-fortress and a small church, originally a watchtower, adorned with frescoes by Duccio da Buoninsegna. Siena is located in the centre of Tuscany, between the valleys of the rivers Arbia, Merse and Elsa, immersed in the most typical of Tuscan landscapes defined by the gentle hills of Chianti to the north-east, by the Montagnola to the west (an authentic green lung, today a Site of Community Importance due to its natural and artistic peculiarities) and by the Crete Senesi to the south-east. It can be easily reached both from the south (from the Valdichiana exit on the A1 motorway and then along the Bettolle-Siena highway) and from the north, or from the airports (from the Firenze Impruneta exit on the A1 motorway, and then along the Firenze-Siena highway). The immeasurable historical, artistic and landscape heritage makes Siena, capital of Gothic, a showpiece city whose historic centre is included among the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, thanks to its perfect stylistic geometry, unique in its kind. Within the city walls is a real open-air museum, crossed by alleys and narrow streets, breathtaking views, hidden corners, wonderful gardens, ancient churches that house authentic works of art and splendid squares. The most famous, Piazza del Campo, dominates in the centre: made up of nine segments that give it its characteristic shell shape, it is the scenographic location that twice a year hosts the Palio horse race, the ancient competition that involves all the citizens, organised in 17 contrade (districts), each with their own coat-of-arms. On one side of the square is the majestic Palazzo Pubblico, current seat of the Municipality and the Civic Museum, which dominates the square softened by the elegance of the 87 metre-high Torre del Mangia, whose summit, reached by climbing over 400 steps, offers a panoramic viewpoint over the entire city. The Palazzo is one of the most important examples of Gothic architecture and a treasure trove of art masterpieces with its majestic rooms that can be visited, among which we would like to mention the Sala del Mappamondo, the Sala del Concistororo and the Sala della Pace with works by Duccio di Buoninsegna, Simone Martini, Lorenzetti. Moving along the three main streets of the city (Via di Città, Banchi di Sotto and Banchi di Sopra), full of beautiful buildings, shops and artisan workshops, you can visit the monumental Basilica of San Domenico or Palazzo Chigi Saracini, rich in history and home to the Accademia Musicale Chigiana, one of the most prestigious graduate schools in the world, and the Piazza del Duomo. Here, welcoming the visitor, is the recently restored, imposing 13th century façade. The floor of the Duomo (entirely uncovered and visible from mid-August to the end of October) is a “picture Bible” with 56 marble squares with inlays and graffiti executed between 1369 and 1547, following the design of great artists. Opposite is the old Hospital of Santa Maria della Scala, one of the oldest in Europe, built along the very important Via Francigena to assist pilgrims on their way to Rome and today transformed into a museum complex. In Siena, the handicrafts, gastronomy consisting of typical sweets, cheeses and salami, and fine wines are all excellent and bring a message of strong cultural and local tradition; here the food and wine stop is a must for the traveller to seal a souvenir of an unforgettable holiday.
