There is a saying that you can ask anyone who has travelled through Tuscany about their favourite town and their answer will most likely be: Siena. And for reasons! Siena is the definition of “romantic little town”, it is small, but lively, yet less crowded than big towns like Florence for instance. It remains with a charm that only Tuscany can offer and is difficult to put in words – but you will know the feeling and vibes once you have been there!

In Siena, there are plenty of medieval buildings (with palaces and churches between them!) which perfectly fit the romantic atmosphere. These buildings form a unique skyline that you can admire from the hills that surround the little town. Sure, Italy has many churches and other monumental buildings, but in Siena there are certainly some outstanding ones – like the “Dumo of Siena”, a magnificent, almost enchanted Gothic building, that in itself is a treasure. But this is only one of many, seemingly countless, gems of this little town, as almost every building will make you feel like being in a fairy-tale. Not only are the buildings worth a visit, but the many restaurants and pubs as well! Italian food is always a good idea and Siena’s offerings live up to this reputation by all means.

Interested in a visit now? Reasonable! Next to countless enchanted medieval buildings, there are B&B’s with the same atmosphere as well. Inter alia the “Le Tre Perle”. The lovely accommodation is centrally located in Colle di Val D'Elsa which is a medieval town 20km outside the city of Siena and is situated in the heart of the Chianti region where the most important Tuscan wineries can be found. It is only a stone’s throw away from bars, restaurants, shops, supermarkets, bus terminals, pharmacies… you name it. Everything you need, you have. Also the lifts to go to the old town are only 50 metres away. The house is on three levels and can offer accommodation of various types: There are 2 double rooms that can also be occupied for single use, 1 twin that can be prepared with one double bed or two single beds, and 2 triple rooms that can also be adjusted with either one double and one single, or three single beds, just to your likings. There are two large terraces that are perfect to relax on and take out your sketch book to use all the inspiration that this place fills you up with artistically. The owners offer organized transportation such as drop-offs and pick-ups to other places of interest – for example Siena, Florence, San Gimignano, Volterra, Monteriggionior others, which are all very close.

Le Tre Perle offers accommodation at affordable prices, combined with a homely environment and a relaxing atmosphere. So if you are interested, you can find it on websites like booking.com or similar!
