About this property

Characteristic apartment in the historic center of Siena

Small apartment located in the historic center about 400 meters from Piazza del Campo, perfect for the stay of two people. It is located on the 3rd floor of a popular period building, equipped with a lift in the condominium stairs, has a double bedroom overlooking a private internal courtyard, a bathroom with a large shower cubicle, and a kitchen-dining-living room with two windows on the public road. It is equipped with WI-Fi, LCD TV and DVD player.
The double room has a double bed which can be transformed into two single beds or it can be equipped with a cot for small children, on request.
The living room sofa is a single bed with underbed and allows you to have a double bed or another single bed in addition (3rd and 4th bed). It is padded and with a wooden slatted base.
The apartment is equipped with washing machine, iron and ironing board. The clothes can be dried in the external tensor in the facade of the building or in the internal one located in the closet.
The house is located in a restricted traffic area but with the possibility of parking for free or for a fee in the immediate vicinity (about 250 m).
In the direction of piazza del Campo, along via Pantaneto, there are many commercial establishments: restaurants, pizzerias, bars, a supermarket, an oven, a laundry. In the direction of Porta Pispini and Porta Romana the area is very popular due to the presence of schools and universities. The church of S. Spirito and the Basilica dei Servi are very close and ideal for a walk different from the usual tourist flows, with green corners and particular views of the city and the landscape that surrounds it.
The apartment can also be used as a starting point for daily itineraries around the province of Siena as in the Val d'Orcia: Pienza, San Quirico d'Orcia; or Montalcino, San Gimignano and historic Chianti area.

Lovely apartment, close to everything

Enjoyed my stay. Francesca was a lovely hostess. Close to everything. Fully equipped kitchen but I ate out mostly. Francesca"s suggestions were great!. Best restaurant in Siena is right around the corner. Loads of information from hostess about Siena to help you best enjoy your stay.

Marvellous location of an excellent apartment

Siena, a must visit location for anyone who enjoys culture and history, coupled with walks, shopping and especially food. Francesca's apartment is located so near all the venues that you can come home during the day for a recharge of batteries and venture out for more. Francesca is a caring and helpful host providing information needed for you to enjoy your stay. Gratzi Francesca.

What a wonderful place with everything you could imagine. Fransesca is a fabulous host who made us so welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed our days exploring Siena and districts from this lovely base. It's nearby some great cafes and bars, v near the supermarket and a short walk to the centre of town. Thank you again for a wonderful stay.

El apartamento es muy acogedor. En estos días de frío siempre se agradece la perfecta temperatura al llegar. Está prácticamente en el centro a escasos minutos de todo. Al lado del apartamento todo tipo de tiendas. Sin duda si volvemos a Siena volveremos a casa de Francesca que además ha sido una perfecta y amable anfitriona. Todo facilidades. Nos dio miles de explicaciones al llegar. Lo recomiendo sin ninguna duda!!!!

Fabulous Siena apartment

We had a wonderful stay in Siena at this apartment. The location is great, close to everything but quiet and a great neighbourhood. The apartment is well designed and has all the amenities. Francesca was a brilliant host - providing information and support way beyond what would be expected. We're looking forward to a return visit.

Very clean and well maintained apartment and a hostess that I would give 10 out of 10.

A wonderful hostess, Francesca, met us at the door of the apartment and spent quite a bit of time showing us around, explaining everything that we needed to know, recommending grocery stores, and restaurants. She also explained some of the history of Siena and the neighborhood contrade. This apartment is perfectly located for experiencing the historic center of Siena. We would gladly recommend Francesca's apartment to anyone who planned to visit Siena. August and Margaret Frequent visitors to Italy

Comfortable lodging in a good location

A notch above the typical Homeaway rental experience. Francesca prepared a rich information packet about Siena and its attractions. The apartment was well-stocked with cooking condiments, including coffee. Location is very good, close to good eating, a grocery store, and Piazza del Campo. Bus stop for Florence (and other places) is an easy 15 minute walk away. Francesca also has posted simple instructions for summoning a taxi via text; we used it and a car arrived in just five minutes.

Delightful apartment in quiet Siena neighborhood.

This apartment is spacious, clean, quiet, and well appointed. It includes a lift, which is great for the luggage. Host provided a binder full of information on the neighborhood--both restaurants we tried were off the beaten path and delicious. Host met us at the apartment when we arrived and provided her personal walk-through and welcome. Would definitely return here!

Beautiful apartment in a great location!

This beautiful apartment had everything we needed, I.e., a kitchen, a washing machine, a drying rack, and the bedroom was separate from the living/dining area. There was a grocery store just around the corner and many wonderful restaurants and shops. It was easy walking distance to the Duomo and museums, etc. Francesca was very helpful in answering our questions prior to and during our visit. She also helped us arrange for a cab to the bus station. We really enjoyed our stay in Siena! Just one footnote, watch out for the step in the bathroom.

The apartment was spotlessly clean, well appointed with everything you might need, with an elevator.

Enchanting

This apartment is ideal. well located near to El Campo (6 to 7 minutes on foot) and the historical sites, but not so close that you are in the midst of the crowds of tourists. The apartment itself is charming and well equiped. Francesca is helpful and very accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would come again if we are in the area.

Siena holiday

We loved our stay in Siena and our stay in Francesca's apartment. It is perfectly located and has everything you would need for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday. We would both happily return to it and unhesitatingly recommend this apartment to any would be visitors to Siena. It was our first visit to Siena, both my wife and I loved it. It is full of beautiful, interesting, historical buildings which are full of wonderful art, sculptures, carvings and much else. The streets, alleyways and piazzas are very clean, inviting and lovely for getting lost in. The locals are very polite, friendly and helpful and the myriad bars, restaurants and shops are all extremely welcoming. A world class city that Italy and Italians can be proud of.

Amazing stay!

Our stay , this past May , at the apartment in Siena was the most wonderful experience we had in all of our vacation in Italy! The location of the apartment is perfect...close to a grocery store, shopping and delightful restaurants. It is spacious , very comfortable ,and fully equipped with everything you need to feel “at home” in Sienna !.... A quiet haven to return to after long days of sightseeing and discovering the beauty and wonders of Siena! Yet, what made it most memorable is our host, herself ......Francesca. She is a wonderful ambassador for Siena.....a true and generous person with advice, help when needed and above all .....friendship ! We cherish our time in Oliviera and will return again, and again!

Wonderful apartment in a great location!

We loved our stay at Francesca's beautiful apartment. The apartment is elegant and comfortable. The views from the front and back are magical, in the first place a great view of the "street" and in the second a view of a beautiful courtyard. Francesca is a terrific host, warm and welcoming. She took time to tell us about the history of the building, oriented us to everything, and was responsive to our needs. We had a snafu in travel plans that affected our time of arrival, and Francesca was flexible and gracius in working with us. She has an infectious love for Siena, and we learned a lot from her about the city and the locale, through talking and from a thoughtful binder she provides for guests. Our only regret was that we did not have more time to explore Siena's history and sites. We hope to come back on our next trip.

Perfekte Ferienwohnung im Zentrum von Siena

Zentral gelegen, 5 Minuten zum Campo und eine Minute mehr zum Dom - und trotzdem ruhig - besser geht es nicht. Dazu noch ein Lift, der den "Aufstieg" in die zweite Etage erleichterte. Ausstattung perfekt, sehr sauber, alles da, was man so braucht. Sehr informative Zusammenstellung von Unterlagen mit Informationen über Siena. Francesca ist telefonisch immer zu erreichen und hilft in allen Lebenslagen. Wir waren eine Woche vor Ort und empfehlen die Wohnung uneingeschränkt für einen Stadtaufenthalt. Einziges Problem: Man kann mit dem eigenen Wagen nicht "bis vor die Tür" fahren, da die Zufahrt zur Altstadt gesperrt ist. Auch Parken ist ein Problem. Wir waren ohne Fahrzeug unterwegs, haben uns mit dem Taxi vom und zum Bahnhof bringen lassen (10€) und hatten daher diese Probleme nicht. Wenn Siena, dann wieder in diese Wohnung.

Nothing "tylocal" about it! This is the perfect flat from which to explore the best of Siena.

This charming apartment in a lovingly-updated 13th century building is right in the heart of Siena, only minutes by foot from everything the city has to offer. It's convenient, too, with a supermarket, bakery, pizzeria, tobacconist, and laundry service (if you're too tired from exploring to use the washing machine in the flat) less than a minute away. The flat is very comfortable, has all the mod cons, and also offers intriguing glimpses of authentic Sienese life. Our hostess went above and beyond to make our stay as enjoyable as possible, stocking the flat with books and DVDs about Siena and environs, stocking the flat with essential "extras," and responding within minutes to every question we asked. If you're traveling to Siena, stay here. You'll be so glad you did!
