HOTEL LA COLONNA, Siena

The hotel is situated on the outskirts of Siena, just off the Siena-Firenze motorway. A bus stop directly outside serves routes S3 and S54 to Piazza del Campo and Siena Cathedral (buses run until about 20:30). Walking to the centre takes roughly 20 minutes along the main road, which can be busy and lacks pavement in sections - best for those comfortable with traffic.

Breakfast is served from 07:30 to 10:00 in a dedicated room. The buffet offers a variety of sweet and savoury items, including croissants, cakes, cold cuts, cheese, boiled eggs, and fruit juices. Coffee is from a machine; some find it satisfactory. The bar is open throughout the day for drinks and snacks. For other meals, several restaurants are within a 5-minute walk, including Trattoria Pizzeria La Colonna (0.5 km) and Al 103 Art Pizza Bar.
