Siena – Porsche

The Grand Hotel Continental, a converted seventeenth-century palazzo just off the Campo, has been the address for a proper Tuscan visit for years, and Siena around it still rises out of the hills in a fan of red brick and Gothic stone, its skyline governed by the Torre del Mangia and the shell-shaped sweep of Piazza del Campo below. Twice a year that square becomes a horse racetrack for the Palio, a rivalry between the city's seventeen contrade that predates the Renaissance and hasn't cooled since.

Porsche builds a driver's tool first and a status symbol second, decades of the same engineering discipline refined rather than reinvented. Rent or hire a Porsche with Zeus Prestige and it arrives exactly as booked, ready for the strade bianche through the Val d'Orcia, Piazza del Campo just as suited to a quiet arrival. Rent or hire your sports car with Zeus Prestige in Siena, delivered exactly as booked.

Outside the walls, the Val d'Orcia opens into the kind of Tuscan countryside painters have chased for six centuries, cypress-lined ridgelines, vineyards, and the pale gravel of the strade bianche, the white roads that cut through Chianti and Montalcino wine country and give the region's spring cycling classic its name, demanding patience on the surface and precision through every camber change.
