Travel directions

 The best is to flight to Florence Airport (FLR). Then, you have two options:

1) rent a car at the airport and drive to Siena (~80km). You can park either at the hotel (if it has a parking) or at one of the new parkings distributed downtown.

2.1) Get a cab to the central bus station in Florence "SITA" (which is right besides the central railway station), or the SITA bus Airport->Central Station which runs every 30m

2.2) Take the direct bus to Siena which takes you in 1h 15m to downtown Siena (for a full timetable of buses in/to Siena click here)

(there's also a train Florence->Siena, but despite the short distance it's much slower).
