Exsus is offering a fantastic package to see Siena’s exciting annual horse race, Il Palio di Siena on 16th August 2009, as part of a three-night package at the new Castel Monastero, sister property to Sardinia’s Forte Village.
Ten horses and riders compete bareback, racing frantically for their districts around Siena’s medieval central square. Steeped in history, the celebrated race dates back to the 13th century and is central to Sienese society. The action packed race day features a number festivities including a spectacular pageant preceding the race.
Combine this fabulous spectacle with three nights at Castel Monastero, a beautifully restored medieval village transformed into a luxury, 76-room hotel in the heart of Tuscany, only a short drive from Siena. The hotel is set to open in July 2009.
Exsus offers a three-night package to Castel Monastero from £1359 per person. The price includes three nights accommodation, breakfast, return transfers to Siena on the day of the Palio, a window on Piazza del Campo, champagne & canapés during the event as well as a gourmet dinner for two at the Castel Monastero restaurant.
