Road trip from Rome to Siena Italy

We started our morning with a drive from Rome, and about two and a half hours later we found ourselves surrounded by the rolling hills of Tuscany. We love a good road trip, and this one did not disappoint—winding roads, endless vineyards, and postcard-worthy views at every turn.

We stayed at the beautiful Villa Ermellina Siena, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel. With stunning views over the countryside and a chic boutique vibe, it was the perfect place to spend the night. The location was ideal—peaceful and scenic, yet close enough for a quick trip into Siena’s historic center.

After settling in, we headed straight into the city. We arrived on a Sunday, which meant many of the restaurants and shops were closed. At first, we were a little disappointed. But that feeling quickly faded. The quieter streets gave Siena a calm, unhurried atmosphere, and we found ourselves enjoying a more relaxed, authentic experience—one where we could wander freely, take our time, and truly soak in the beauty of the city. Here are a few pictures of our time in this historical city. 









We stopped for a quick lunch at Bar Il Palio, situated right in the main square—the perfect spot to people-watch while enjoying a glass of wine. The pizza was… just okay (maybe worse than okay), but it was only a snack, and we had dinner reservations at a steakhouse later, so no complaints.

                                  

Later on that evening we made our way to Premiata Braceria Toscana for dinner. My husband loves a juicy steak and wanted to indulge 

And Indulge he did..... I think he ordered the largest steak he possibly could! I ordered the "Sushi Meat" (Meat sushi instead of fish). It was surprisingly delicious.

We ended our evening back at Villa Ermellina with an evening cocktail. I ordered a Paloma, while he chose a Negroni. Both were perfectly crafted and just what we needed—a relaxed, quiet moment to reflect on the day.  It felt like the ideal way to close out our weekend in Siena.

Siena is absolutely beautiful. If you’re in Rome and looking for a quick escape from the city, I can’t recommend Siena enough. From its medieval walls to its ancient stone streets, the city is dripping with art, charm, and history—and it truly should not be missed on any trip to Italy.
