Location & what to see

Hotel Minerva is located along Via Garibaldi, in the northern sector of Siena’s historic centre, just outside the limited traffic zone (ZTL) and right next to the ancient Porta Ovile. The property is set in a relaxed position in the San Donato neighborhood, where residential quiet combines with immediate proximity to the city’s ancient walls and historic squares. Just 100 metres away lies the historic Fonte di Ovile, a 13th-century fountain set within Siena’s medieval architecture.

The hotel’s position allows guests to move around easily both on foot and by public transport. Siena Train Station is just 1.1 km away, reachable with a 15-minute walk or a few minutes by bus. For those arriving by car from the motorways, the street allows direct access without entering ZTL gates. Piazza del Campo and the majestic Torre del Mangia can be reached on foot in about 10 minutes over a distance of around 700 metres, while the famous Piazza Salimbeni is less than 400 metres away.

Staying in this neighborhood offers a privileged vantage point from which to explore Siena’s artistic wonders. From here, you can walk to the Basilica of San Francesco and Santa Caterina’s House, located 550 metres away. For history and culture enthusiasts, the National Etruscan Archaeological Museum and the Santa Maria della Scala Museum Complex are less than a kilometre away. Throughout the year, a stay here lets you fully experience both the summer atmosphere of the contradas and the Palio, as well as winter strolls among the artisan shops of the centre.
