siena villas

Although Siena has a swathe of places at which to eat well, the city feels distinctly provincial after Florence. The main action of an evening is the passeggiata from Piazza Matteotti along Banchi di Sopra to the Campo - and there's not much in the way of nightlife to follow. For most visitors, though, the Campo, the city's universal gathering place, provides diversion enough, while the presence of the university ensures a bit of life in the bars . Siena used to have a poor reputation for restaurants but over the last few years a range of new, imaginative osterie has signalled a general rise in standards. Most Sienese buy ice cream at one or the other end of the passeggiata - either at the Nannini Gelateria at the northern end of Banchi di Sopra, There are pleasant bars all over town. L'Officina , Piazza del Sale 3a, has around a hundred bottled beers and others on tap. Of the terrace
