Scacciapensieri holiday rentals

The family loved our stay in Nicoletta’s apartment. She is a warm, thoughtful host and very easy to communicate with. The apartment is stylishly appointed and very comfortable. I would certainly return.

From the moment we arrived in Siena in the pouring rain and was picked up at the bus stop by Alessandro we knew we were in for a great stay. The apartment is incredible with amazing views of Siena. Even being winter I spent every morning on the deck watching the sun rise. A great way to start the day. It is a short walk to the escalators to get you up to the old town and was nice to come back home at the end of the day. The supermarket is fantastic and down a flight of stairs from the apartment as is the car hire place. A perfect spot to base ourselves while exploring Tuscany. We easily parked the car in the street outside the apartment. Alessandro was very helpful and attentive and we appreciated him checking in with us. The kitchen was well stocked as was the bathroom. We can not recommend Attico highly enough.

Our family group of 4 brothers and their wives gathering for a reunion in the beautiful town of Siena found ourselves in Francesca’s apartment. It had a stunning view from both terraces overlooking the Tuscan Hills. The apartment itself was incredibly spacious and very well appointed and clean. We all immediately relaxed on walking in. Francesca herself was excellent in her communications with me throughout our planning stages and organised a pick up for all 8 adults and luggage from the train station and took us to the apartment without any fuss. Nothing was too much trouble for Francesca as she organised a cooking class at the apartment for all of us and patiently took us through the process of pasta making and taught us about the close link between wine and food for the Italians. It was a memorable week for us all and to Francesca I say thank you for being part of that week showing us and teaching us about your Siena. Being there in the week prior to The Palio was very special and being a part of your ancient traditions - Unforgettable! I would not hesitate to recommend this apartment for a stay in Siena. I will go back as I left a piece of my heart there 🙂
