The famous Palio di Siena horse race is held in the medieval city’s Piazza del Campo twice a year,- 2nd July and 16th August. It is spectacular and somewhat insane!

Apart from the big race, other side events such as race trials and historical parades, take place in the preceding days.

We can assist with obtaining seats or even hiring a balcony.  We can also organise for our guests to dine on the street with a local contrada, an authentic experience and a centuries-old tradition.

Please contact Isabella, the manager if you are wanting to book a week at the villa during the Palio weeks.
