I will be spending 3 days in Siena in Sept 2023. (One year from now!) I would like to stay in the city center but close to parking so I can spend a day (maybe 2) driving and exploring the Chianti region. I would like to keep price as low as possible as these 3 days are just part of a larger/longer trip. I will be arriving from the hill towns of Central Italy. I will be traveling alone. Does anyone have any suggestions for places to stay with either parking on site or close to pay parking? Also any idea on how much it will cost to park at this time? Any help will be appreciated.

What is your budget for a hotel? What is a low price for someone may not be a low price for someone else.
The best area for parking is at the stadium, which is practically in the city center (just a short walk), in case you can’t find a hotel with parking that satisfies your requirements. Also the stadium area is easily accessible without risk of running into the ZTL.
The cost of public parking at the stadium/Fortress parking lot is €2 per hour or €25 all day. It’s open 24/7, and it’s free from 8pm to 7am.

Roberto-That was the information I didn't have. If parking is close to the city center then anything I can afford should be ok. Also max of $25 a day fits into my budget. This is greatly appreciated.

Stadio is defiantly the easiest to reach. The next would be the train station, which is also the cheapest, but watch your speed on the way to that one.

Parking in the underground lot at the train station costs 2 Euros per day. We had no problem finding empty spots during a 5 day visit back in '19.
Access to the town is up a series of escalators. With luggage a taxi might be easier - cost about 12 Euro to our place near the Campo.

I stayed at a place outside the city center, near the train station. It was convenient with free parking and when I wanted to go to the city center it was a short walk to the station with a series of escalators that took us into the center.
