Siena
The 4 star luxury Hotel Toscana Ambassador is located
in the beautiful town of Poggibonsi, not far from the
famous city of Siena.
During your stay with us here at the Hotel Toscana
Ambassador Poggibonsi, we highly recommend a trip to
the nearby beautiful city of Siena, where you can indulge
in lots of Italian culture, architecture and atmosphere!
The Duomo, as in most Italian cities,
is truly a sight to behold. Built in the 13th century,
it is truly magnificent and you will see both on the
exterior and interior the white, black and red marble,
from which it was constructed. The amazing arches, pillars,
stained glass and of course the Dome itself are truly
a breathtaking sight on the inside, much of which dazzles
the eye with its striped marble.
Elsewhere in the city, the Piazza del Campo
is certainly worth a visit – it is the city’s
main public area, allowing you to soak up some Italian
atmosphere! Unusually and beautifully shaped, it is
still to this day an important part of public life in
Siena. The Fountain of Joy (Fonte Gaia)
can be viewed here.
If you prefer to get away from the hustle and bustle
for a while, enjoy the Botanical Garden of Siena
(Orto Botanico dell'Università di Siena) where
you can take pleasure in the many beautiful plants in
tranquil surroundings, while remaining inside the city.
