Siena villas - spend your vacation in your own villa near a medieval city
Siena, located in the region of Tuscany, is a city proud of its powerful and
wealthy place in history and boasts a prominent background dating back to
the Middle Ages.
You
will fall in love with Siena, and through your numerous day trips to the
city from your
Siena villa, you will feel as if you have
found a home away from home. The center of Siena features pedestrian-only
streets, giving you the freedom to peruse the boutiques, have a lick of
gelato, or sit and enjoy a
panini in the Piazza del Campo.
You might have heard of the famous horse race,
Il Palio,
traditionally held every July 2 and August 16 in this magnificent square.
Italians love to come out in droves and cheer on the horse representing
their
contrada, or neighborhood, and the excitement is
unbelievable. Each horse displays the colors and emblems of their
neighborhood, which makes for a colorful dance along the track. The coveted
prize is a painted flag bearing the resemblance of the Virgin Mary,
signifying the rich devotion to religious history in this area.
If you are in Tuscany during this time period, you must try to see the
running of this incredible horse race - a sight you will never forget! Your
Siena villa also offers you the option to relax poolside during the
day and venture into Siena at night.
Try
one of the rustic restaurants located just down the street from the
magnificent Gothic Duomo, which is lit up at night to accentuate the stark
contrast of its black and white facade. This is also worth a visit during
the day, and be sure to stop by the Cathedral of Siena and the Sanctuary of
Santa Caterina, which houses the miraculous 12th-century crucifix from which
the saint was marked with her stigmata.
