Serravalle’s close proximity to Siena gives you an unique opportunity to explore in depth a fascinating, classically medieval fortress city. Siena is relatively unknown, which has helped it maintain its traditions and 16th century look. With its massive outer walls, towers and narrow winding streets, entering Siena is like going back in time.
The center of the city is dominated by the famed square – the Piazza del Campo – that is the focus of Siena’s civic life. The piazza is also the sight of Siena’s fabled horserace called “The Palio.” Palio banners and other art depicting the events of the Palio all by the famed Sienese artist Valacchi proudly adorns the walls throughout the villa. The Palio!, a 90 second, no-holds barred, bareback horse race (the most dangerous horse race in the world) complete with pageantry and passion that have survived intact for centuries. At Serravalle you can watch it from your own private balcony!
