This Tuscan hill town will transport you back to the Middle Ages. Siena's grand cathedral, built in the 1200s, has treasured artworks and marvelous marble floors. The Piazza del Campo, the main town square, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's also home to the Palio, perhaps the most infamous horserace in the world. No goofy hats and mint juleps here—this is a medieval tradition involving bareback riders racing on cobblestones (so as you might imagine, it's quite dangerous). Siena is an easy daytrip by train from Florence, just 43 miles away.

The restaurant Orto de 'Pecci in Siena is located in a beautiful green valley at 200m. Piazza del Campo and is managed by the Cooperative Proposal.
a magical green paradise in the middle of medieval Siena, (goats and peacock included). The history, the garden, the pici at the restaurant, the kindness of the people made this experience, the high of our day in Siena, for adults, kids and even adolescents.... Highly recommended
