A DELIGHTFUL HOME AWAY FROM HOME
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Nicola’s apartment. Our host was most helpful in collecting us from the bus station and he generously provided us with a bottle of wine, a large platter of meats and cheeses and bread for our arrival. The apartment is just as described, spacious and more updated than other places we have stayed; the only disappointment was that the balcony is not big enough to sit outside. There is ample space in the kitchen to prepare food and plenty of utensils, pots and pans, etc. You can walk into the Campo, the centre of Siena, in 15 minutes. Our nearest supermarket was 5 minutes walking distance and we enjoyed a cappuccino every morning at a cafe the same distance away. The local market, only on Wednesdays, is well worth a visit for excellent local produce, meats and the famous porchetta sandwich and also clothes and leather goods and much more.
Don’t forget to walk 2 or 3 minutes from the apartment, away from town to the delightful Viola’s cafe where we enjoyed a glass of wine in the evening. Viola’s idea of a “little snack” to accompany our wine was almost equivalent to dinner, for a fraction of the prices charged in the town center. I forget the name of her cafe but it is directly opposite the Osteria della Badia Lluova, also highly recommended. Thank you, Nicola, for a most
enjoyable stay in your lovely apartment, and I highly recommend it.
