Very nice apartment in a great location. Bed was very comfortable. Windows provide some sound-proofing from activity below. We enjoyed sitting on the terrace, enjoying a glass of wine at the end of the day. There were some great restaurants within steps of the building. Unit had air conditioning, which is a huge plus. No elevator in the building so be prepared to carry your bags up several flights of stairs when you arrive. Hostess was awesome with recommendations and assisting us in securing transportation to the airport when we experienced some troubles. Highly recommend this property.
Can honestly say this was one of our best rental experiences. The entire space was sparkling with very well stocked kitchen and bathroom. Our host met us outside and walked us through parking, apartment functions restaurant, shopping, towns to visit and was available to message for further questions... And the terrace was the perfect place to sit with a glass of wine and take in the view! Loved it!

Thank you so much Denise for wonderful review! It was a pleasure to meet you and host you 🤗🤗
I stayed here with my husband, my sister and her husband and we were very comfortable and there was plenty of room for all of us. The bedrooms were spacious, clean and the beds were quite comfortable. Apartment also had all the necessities needed for toiletries for our stay. On the day of our arrival we were met by Alessandro and the check in process was very easy. The kitchen and refrigerator were well stocked with food (along with a few extra sweet treats) so there was no need to go to the store right away, which was very close by and easy to walk to, even with a few stairs. We enjoyed a few dinners at the apartment on the patio with a beautiful view of the surrounding neighborhood, along with a church high up on a hill. Very easy walk to the escalator which takes you up to the heart of Siena where we enjoyed several days walking around exploring the city. We also walked into Siena several nights for dinner, one of which was Divo, which was suggested by Alessandro and we really enjoyed our dinner and would highly recommend this place. Overall we would highly recommend staying here, Alessandro was always available whenever we had questions and made sure we were always comfortable at the apartment. Siena is a beautiful city and we would love to come back!
A wonderful apartment, clean, great location but most of all our hosts were amazing. Alessandro really was a pleasure to deal with and went above, and beyond when one of us needed some medical advice by putting us in touch with a trusted local doctor who was amazing. The whole stay was a complete delight.

It was a great experience which stays in our memories for long, gorgeous,clean, spacious and most convenient to all we wanted to see!
Alessandro and Rosie were most amazing people we have encountered, they tried to do everything to make us feel at home.
We have to mention the beautiful view from the huge balcony and spotless kitchen with all kind of necesseties!
This home is an oasis of beauty with plenty of privacy and space. Our host welcomed us with food and extras so we could settle in and not have to leave for some of the simple things like a light breakfast and snacks. Wonderful.

Thanks for your hospitality, your thoughtfulness made our stay at Attico a once in a lifetime experience. the 180 degree views are epic! We made it to Montalcino, montepuiciao and our favorite Pienza.
Your book and recommendations with all that local information was instrumental in our great time here.

Grazie 🙏 Anthony! It was special to have a guest like you! 🤗🤗
This penthouse apartment couldn’t have been more beautiful and better situated for a visit to Siena. Just outside the walls of the old city, you could either hike up the hill to the center of town or ride the escalators up. We roamed the enchanting streets and hung out in the Campo soaking up the ambience and history of this fascinating place. We took day trips out into the hill towns of Chianti, tasting wine and drinking in the views. All intoxicating!

Thank you very much Terrence, it was a pleasure to host you. It would be great to have you still in our apartment, CIAO !
We had excellent pre-arrival communication with Alessandro who greeted us with the most comprehensive welcome I have ever had with VRBO. The apartment itself was far more than we ever would have hoped for. Completely furnished, exceptionally comfortable, and an easy 10 minute walk to view the Palio. We will absolutely stay here on our return --if it is available--do mot miss staying here.

From being greeted by the owner to the views from large balconies, this apartment was over the top. Attention to details to make our stay memorable was outstanding. The style, quality and unique art work very appreciated. We felt welcomed and pampered. The owners had thought of everything to make our stay incredible. Thank you for all your thoughtfulness and care.

It was a wonderful experience to have hosted the barbara family. They greatly appreciated our commitment to make their stay in Siena perfect, and so it was. Thank you !
My family of 4 stayed at this beautiful apartment for many weeks, and loved every minute of it. The patio is stunning- The perfect place for morning coffee, a relaxing break in the afternoon, and a glass of wine while admiring the stars. The location allows easy and quick access to central town via the escalators at San Francesco. Tons of delicious restaurants are walkable from the apartment. And we loved the convenience of the grocery store (2 minute walk). In addition, Alessandro and Maria are incredible hosts. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, well fed, and up to date on happenings in town. I can’t say enough good things about this listing- it felt like home.
Attico San Francesco is an absolute gem! Both charming and convenient with a host who provided close attention to all of our needs, including food and amenities at the apartment, as well as recommendations for all the area’s wonderful sites and restaurants. Highly recommend; the only drawback is no elevator but consider it a chance to walk off those calories!

I wish this place was mine!
What a beautiful apartment! It is spacious, comfortable and the patio views do not disappoint. The fact that this place is just outside the centro storico walls keeps it quiet. It is within easy walking distance from the escalators that take you directly up into town. It’s probably the best location possible for a trip to Siena. The owners filled the kitchen with delicious bites to eat, including a bottle of wine and a homemade torte! They were wonderfully helpful and considerate.

Alessandro is the ultimate host! Providing breakfast treats, bath amenities and a plethora of information on Siena and surrounding environs. The apartment is spacious, tastefully decorated and comfortable. The beds are restful and an abundance of towels are provided. The terrace is perfect for al fresco dining and the view is unsurpassed. Morning coffee, afternoon cocktails and evening dining are a must an abundance this amazing view. Travel into the city on foot is manageable as are day trips by car, bus or train. Highly recommended for a memorable holiday.
