Our stay in Siena during ...
Our stay in Siena during the 2013 July palio was simply fantastic. From the initial email contact Mr. Maggio was not only very professional but welcoming and generous. He graciously picked us up and drove us back to the train station and had a platter of regional foods and wine available for us upon arrival. His personal olive oil was delicious. The location of the appartment was ideal to experience the Palio and to visit nearby towns by train or join a local tour group. The rooms were all very clean and we lacked for nothing.Grocery store and takeout were steps away. Even without air conditioning in July we were quite comfortable. The Contrada Del Nicchio church is located in front of the apartment and we were welcomed at a pre-race communal supper by Signora Ersilia to experience a feast amongst two thousand of the contrada citizens. With his great advice and a book on the palio made available in the apartment, the experience became more interesting for our teens. We thank you for helping us make such great memories. We will return. Ciao!
