The view from the balcony

 

Location: Siena, Siena Area, Tuscany, Italy, Europe (The Apartment Is Located In Downtown Siena.)

Accommodations:  Apartment, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 4)

The apartment is located in downtown Siena.

The apartment is a first-floor in an ancient XIV century townhouse within the walls of Siena.

Located halfway between the Duomo and the Basilica of San Domenico, the apartment offers views of the Basilica from both of its bedrooms.

The apartment is an ideal base for a family of four-five that want to experience life in a wonderfully preserved medieval city.

While the furnishing is simple and mostly modern, a century-old vaulted brick ceiling adorns both the kitchen and the living room. A balcony that opens from the queen bedroom offers views over the Basilica.

The bedroom with the two single beds also overlooks San Domenico from its windows.

From the apartment, a 5 minute walk leads to the Duomo. Piazza del Campo is within a 5 minute walk.

The nearest parking lot is half a mile away. Pollicino, a small and inexpensive shuttle, operates from the lot and stops 300 yards from the apartment.

From the apartment you don't need a car to visit nearby Florence or the many Chianti hill towns between the two cities.

Both La Lizza and San Domenico squares, within a 10 minute walk, offer frequent bus service to a multitude of places within and beyond Tuscany.

  • We had a fabulous time at Casa Siena! The location is perfect, only 3 blocks to the Duomo and one block to the escalators which take you to down to the parking lot outside of the city walls. Cristina met us at the garage and drove our luggage into town which was really nice. The apartment itself is in a beautiful old building, the furnishings are lovely and each bedroom has its own bathroom. We enjoyed cooking at home a few nights during our stay and really appreciated having a fully stocked kitchen. The coffee and amaretto cookies were a great touch, and just a small example of Cristina's excellent hospitality.

  • I spent three weeks at Casa Siena last spring and loved it. The apartment was comfortable, attractive, extremely clean, felt very safe and was filled with character. Cristina was very helpful, both before and during my stay and welcomed me with wine, bottled water, and cookies particular to the Seina region. The apartment was in an wonderful area of town, convenient to the main city square and other major sites. I hope to return to Siena and will definitely stay in the apartment again.

  • We highly recommend Casa Siena which we recently rented for 6 nights. The apartment is large, well equipped and located just a couple of blocks from the Duomo, but still on a very quiet street, in a quiet building and with a great view. It is roomy and decorated with a number of personal items, including posters from previous Palio races won by Selva, the contrada where the apartment is located. We parked in the Santa Caterina parking lot just off of Via Fontebranda the first few nights, but thereafter found free spaces right on Via Fontebranda. There are a series of covered escalators between the Fontebranda and the street the apartment is on, which was very helpful when going back and forth to the car. Cristina was wonderful to correspond with and made us feel very welcome in Siena when we met her after our long flight from Chicago. We also enjoyed the ricciarelli (soft almond cookies) Cristina left for us in the apartment and bought some in Siena to bring home as gifts. We would definitely rent the apartment again if we returned to Siena.

  • We have just returned from an 8 day stay at "Casa Siena" and can recommend it as ideal alternative to hotel or pension accomodations. The location of the apartment is ideal, and the "landlady", Natalie Cristina, is a warm friendly and helful hostess. The apt. is generously sized, and fully equipped to do some meals if you can drag yourself away from the fine restaurants near at hand. Highly recommended! Ed and Gina Drucker

  • This was our first European apartment rental and we were extremely pleased. The apartment was wonderful for our stay in Siena. It is ideally located to give easy access to the whole historic area and not too far from parking. Parking is down the hill, outside the city wall, but there is a six-stage escalator to take you there and back. We enjoyed meeting Christina and her lovely daughter, who welcomed us warmly with gifts of water, wine, and ricciarelli. What a nice introduction to the area! The apartment is furnished as though Christina and her family still lived there -- everything you need and very clean and comfortable. While in Siena we used train and auto for daytrips to Florence, Assisi, and other towns and enthusiastically recommend 'Casa Siena' as a base for visiting Tuscany.

  • Casa Siena was perfect ! Our Hosts Christina and Marco were very helpfull and accomodating. The appartment is perfectly situated in the heart of siena just 2 minutes walk from the main square, just far enough to ensure a nice, quiet spot with an amazing view. The appartment was complety spotless and our 8 yr old son and 9 yr olds daughter were very happy to find that their room was furnished with kids sheets and plenty of simple toys and games which made them feel comfortable and at home. We arrived very late at night and were greeted by Christina who drove us to the appartment ( from outside the walls ). We were pleasantly surprised to find a bottle of water in the fridge, a great bottle of local Chiante wine and some fresh local baking which was a real nice touch and showed us their commitment and passion to ensure we felt welcome and comfortable in what was their home before their young family outgrew it. We have no complaints, thought it was a great place, in a perfect location and very good value. We wish Christina, Marco and their kids all the best and hope to return someday !We hope this unit is available for your dates and highly recommend it ! The Thomas family, Lantzville BC, Canada
